POTATO DISEASES IN 1907.
Bulletin Of the Maine Agricultural
Experiment Station.

The potato is subject to many
diseases requiring constant vigilence
on the part Of the grower. That spray

operation has been amply demonstrate
ed. Whether the generally adopted
methods for applying fungicides can be
improved, and whether dry bordeaux
can be successfully and economically
substituted for the wet form are ques-
tons Of the greatest Importance to the
Maine farmer.
These subjects are discussed in Bulle-
tin 149, Just issued by the Maine En-
pertinent Station. Among the other
questions dealt with in the same buIle-
tin are: the relative efficiency of light
and heavy spraying; the treatment Of
seed potatoeswith formaldehyde gas
for the purpose Of preventing scab;
an easy and economical way of gen.
Grating formaldehyde gas for this and
other purposes; the effect of lining a
soil upon the development of potato
scab in succeeding crops; the appear

to be comparatively new to this
country, known as the internal brown

lead as an irsectcide for potatoes.

Thorough Digging.

The amateur gardener must not
hesitate TO take off his coat and dig
his garden deeply and thoroughly if he
hopes for success in due course A
deeply dug soil is Of the utmost i'm
portance if good crops are desired. 1t
is especially necessary in the case of
vegetables, such as root crops, that a
deep soil should lie provided. The
soil must, in this case. be dug at least
two feet deep; q mere digging over will
not suffice. Whether light or heavy.
the soil should be dug deeply in the
following manner: Take out a trench
two feet wide and one foot deep, at one
end of the plot Next get in the
bottom Of the trench and take a further
trench one spit wide and deep Wheel
each lot to separate heaps at the OPP
posite end Of the plot. With a fork.
dig un the bottom of the second trench,
then spr, "a several inches of manure
on top, turn over the remainder of the
second layer Of soil. lift in the second
layer Of the trench on to the manure
and dig one spit wide and deep of the
surface soil on this. Proceed with

the plot. Then throw in the small
heap OF soil previously wheeled there,
add a layer of manure. and finally
throw in the large heap Of soil to I'LL
up the trench.
This deep digging. known %
practical men as trenching. insures a
tWOfold object In the first place. it
increases the depth of soil, enabling
not only flowers. but also deep-rooting
vegetables like carrots, parsnips, beets,
etc, to send their roots straight into
the soil and derive the fullest possible
benefit as regards food and moisture.
In the second place, it helps to drain
naturally damp soil of it's superfiuous
moisture, and, by removing the latter.

effect chemical transformation in the

ways prepare the soil for insuring the
best results in due course.
Clay soils require special treatment
in order to make them fertile. They
may be deeply dug in the manner
previously indicated. In this case.
plenty of fresh horse manure. road grit.
cinder ashes. or decayed refuse should
be mixed with the soil at the time Of
digging. Where deep digging is not
practicable. ridging should be practtc-
cd. This method consists Of dividing
the plot into strips Of two feet vile,
then starting at one end. turning two
spits of soil over in the ordinary way,
and placing third spadeful on top 20

Practical Farming
Planting Trees in Fall.

There is some controversy as to the
planting of apple trees in the fall.
However, my many years of expert
cnce in fruit growing teaches me that
the most appropriate time to plant an
annie orchard is at this season of the
year.
The ground should be loose and
moist enough to work we'll, but not
wet and sticky. At this time the
growing season is over, and the tree
will hardly be affected at all by the
change from nursery to orchard. Inc
