Potato Blight.

he ,pOJdIO CIOp Is OiCVli CuS SAW
and sometimes entirely destroyed by
the attack of blight. There are real
ly two distinct fungous diseases I'll
which this term is applied. One OF
them attacks the early varieties and,
beginning at the margins, OF the
leaves, causes them to dry up. 1t is
especially troublesome in dry sea-
sons, and when the leaves have been
eaten by flea beetles, or burned with
Paris green.
The other form, which is known
as late blight seldom shows before
August and hence does little or no
harm to early potatoes. This dis
ease is most troublesome in warm,
wet seasons, and may not appear at
all in dry summers.
When the conditions are favorable
for it's development, it may appar-
emily "'blast" the tops in "a single
night, although really it has been at
work in the tissues for some days.
The spores are soon formed and
falling upon the ground may be car
ried down to the tubers by rain and,
if the weather continues favorable
for their development, the tubers
will be attacked and the rot may be
serious enough to cause the loss of
the entire crop. Even though the
attack is confined to the tops, if they
are destroyed before the tubers have
reached their full size, the yield will
be materially reduced.
The early blight can be easily
controlled by using Bordeaux mix
ture when spraying for the potato
beetles, and the one or two spray
ings usually required to control the
insects will suffice to protect the
plants from this form of blight.
AS it is the late blight which is most
to be feared, especial attention
should be given to controlling 1t.
While this disease can also be
prevented by the use Of Bordeaux
mixture, the difficulty is increased by
the fact that it is most troublesome
in wet seasons when it may seem
almost impossible to get the spray
ing done between showers and when
thes pray is washed off.
The one thing to have in mind is
that in a wet season, it is imperative
that the tops are kept covered with
Bordeaux mixture from the time
they are eight inches high until the
tubers are practically grown. II
this is done, there can be no blight
Or rot.
Unless the late varieties are
planted before June, and one to
three weeks later than this is pref
cradle, it is seldom that spraying is
required before the 1st of August
Even in dry seasons it will pay
to spray at this time and again ten
days to two weeks later, especially
as, If the weather turns wet later on,
it may not he possible to check the
disease if the early sprayings have
been omitted. If the weather in
August is favorable for the blight,
the treatment should be kept up un-
til four or even five applications
have been made. The whole secret
of success is in spraying at the
right time and doing it thoroughly.
Care should also be taken to dilute
the copper sulphate before adding
the lime and the latter should, of
course, be carefully strained.
In making the Bordeaux use
four pounds of copper sulphate and
the same amount OF lime in so gal

episode In the career OF the famous
poet had its origin in a bitter dis
pute with the late King Oscar. The
latter, as Is well known, had liter
airy pretensions of no mean order,
and figured extensively as a poet, an
author and playwright. Bjornson,
having learned that King Oscar had
criticized in the most merciless and
unsparing manner one of his plays
Immediately flew into a great rage,
regarding it not in the light of an
expression of opinion of the sover-
eign, but merely as piece OF enmity
on the part of a jealous and soured
rival. He at once proceeded to chal-
lenge King Oscar to fight duel and
to grant him satisfaction on the field
Of honor. This was more than King
Oscar could stand, democratic and
unaffected though he was, and ac-
cordingly he gave orders for the pros
ecution of Bjornson on charge OF
lese majestic. But the poet was not
obliged to pay the penalty for his
offense, for he fled to Germany and
remained there until 1882. But his
experience apparently did not affect
him seriously, for when he returned
Christiania he at once resumed his
anti-government agitation as well as
his novel writing.
Bjornson's novels were epoch-mak-
ing in Scandinavian literature and
proved a source OF inspiration to the
Norwegian people. His first great
novel, "Synnove Solbakkon," was
published in 1857. This was follow
ed by other stories giving an ideal
ICED picture of peasant life. These
stories have been a source of pleas
ure and profit to the Norwegian peo-
pie. Peasants read them and learned
to know their better selves. Others
read them and learned to know the
peasants and to appreciate the fact
that under the coarse homespun OF
the peasant there may be a heart
that beats warmly for the high and
noble things of life.
Bjornson was not mere poet and
dreamer. He has never held himself
aloof from the people. Throughout
his active career he personally-with
tongue and pen-engaged in every
political, social and literary combat
of his times. Through his ardent adj
vocacy of reform he brought upon
himself the wrath of many but the
gratitude of more.
