Potato Troubles.

The prospect for record crop
of potatoes in some of the districts
this year, is not very encouraging,
according to reports received at the
Colorado Agricultural College.

numbers, for some reason, probab-
ly owing to light winter, are much
greater than usual. The cold, back
ward season has caused the insects
to appear later than usual, SO that
where they are usually mostly gone
by the time the plants come thru
the ground, this season, in most
fields, the plants were up about
the time the beetles appeared, so
that the maximum of damage
from them has resulted. These
insects at this time of year live by
eating the foliage of potato, toma-
to and other closely related plants.
Tney do not eat the stem of the
plant off at the surface of the
ground as is SO frequently stated
by growers. The damage from
this brood of the insects comes
simply from the reducing of the
leaf surface by the insects eating
holes in the leaves.
Very soon now the beetles will
lay eggs on the underground stems
or new tubers that are forming and
the resulting Larvae will feed upon
them, causing the pimpley appear
ance that was so noticeable on near
ly all of the potatoes of last season.
The time has passed for any
remedy. If we had known that
the insects were coming in such
numbers. Bordeaux mixture and
an arsenite might have been
sprayed on the vines. This rem
edy kills some of the insects, but
helps more as Il preventive. The
insects do not like the material
and will move on to more congen-
ial surroundings.
The serious trouble with the po-
tato fields, however, is not due so
much to insect attack as to the
seed tubers in the ground. If the
weak. sickly plants be dug, the
seed tuber will be found to be de
cayed. The decay begins on the
outer surface and eats its way to
the skin. Those tubers which
were attacked when first planted
did not sprout at all: others sprout-
ed. but were cut off before suffi-
cient roots were developed to sup
port the plant. In many cases the
disease has followed from the old
seed tuber up the stem of the
plant and destroyed it even after
the plant has grown several inches
above the ground. Some fields are
SO. badly affected with this trouble
that they are being plowed up and
sown to grain crops. In others
the loss is from ten to fifty per
cent.
Microscopic inspection of these
diseased tubers and plants shows
the presence of one of the. many
species of "Fusarium." This is
undoubtedly the same fungus that
has caused the dry rot of potatoes
in the dugouts.
Two or three peculiar things
about the attack of this disease are
noticeable First, fields that grew
potatoes last year are much more
than alfalfa land. This
can be explained from the fact
that the crop last year was dam
aged by this fungus as well as by
"Rhizoctonia." The 'Fusarium"
fungi are ordinarily saprophitic,
so easily lived over winter in the
decaying potato tops and other
Second, soft seed and the green
seed from the mountains seem to
be affected more than either home
grown or eastern seed. This is
probably owing to the fessened
power of resistance of the imma-
ture seed
Third, whole seed, so far as our
observation goes, are not affected

Pea-Fed Lambs.

ten aoout the gains made by pea
fed lambs During the winter of
1906 the author fed 100 lambs
upon l2l acres of Canadian field
peas at Laramie, Wyoming. at an
altitude of 1000 feet, where con-
ditions are very similar to those
existing in the San Luis valley.
Another 100 lambs of the same
breeding, age and weight were fed
alfalfa hay and corn. The lambs
were fed 9S days and We're weighed
every week, one lot weighing on
an average 80 pounds at the start
and the other IS pounds.
The pea-fed lambs cleaned the
field, with the exception of some
shelled peas on the ground which
few head of hogs We're turned in
upon later. There were not enough
peas left SO that anything could
be credited to the lambs. The 12JJ
acres furnished good feed for the
9S days so that each acre fed eight
lambs These lambs made twenty
pounds gain each on the average
during the 9S days.
The lambs fed corn and alfalfa
gained q pounds each. or over
one-halt more than did the pea
fed lambs. They received 2l3
pounds of alfalfa and 81 pounds of
corn per head during the feeding
period or about 2 pounds of hay
and nearly one pound of corn per
head each day.
In order to compare the relative
cost of the two methods of feeding.
we must figure the amount of feed
required to produce 100 pounds of
gain. With the pea-fed lambs
it took Z of an acre of peas in the
field to produce 100 pounds gain
and at 81 per acre this gain cost
S3.75 per 100 pounds. With the
lot fed alfalfa and corn, 6S2 pounds
of prime tirst-cutting alfalfa hay
and 292 pounds of corn were re-
quired to produce 100 pounds gain
so that figuring the hay at $3.50
per ton and the corn at 75 cents
per hundred pounds, the gains
made by this lot cost S3.72 per 100
pounds.
The above figures indicate that
the cost of the feed needed to pro-
duce one hundred pounds gain is
about the same with peas in the
field as with alfalfa and corn.
Less labor is needed for lambs
upon peas in the field than for
lambs in corrals: but this lessened
labor is offset by the fact that pea
fed lambs do not get as fat as
lambs fed corn and salfalfa and,
therefore. command a lessened
price upon the market if brought
into competition with the latter
class.
Both lots of lambs in the above
experiment We're shipped to Oma-
ha and sold upon the open market.
The pea fed lambs sold for 500
and those fed corn and alfalfa
brought $40. Buyers upon the
ground variousl y estimated the al
falfa lambs as worth from Is to %
cents per hundred more than the
pea-fed lambs. When killed and
hung upon the hooks, the pea-fed
lambs showed less tirmness of flesh
and less fat over the loin and ribs
and around the tail and kidneys.
This does not mean that because
pea feeding does not secure quite
the finish given by alfalfa and corn
that pea feeding is not profitable.
What it does mean is, that in or
der to secure the largest profit, the
pea feeders must recognize condi-
tions as they aIe and feed to bring
lambs in the market before alfalfa
fed lambs appear. And it is prob
able that careful, conservative pea
feeders may compete successfully
upon the same market with the al |
