SPRAYING POTATOES
FOR BLIGHT AND BUGS
Bordeaux Mixture Latter
by E. p Sandsten HorticuItura1ist, Wis
consin Agricultural College,

This experiment station has con-
Quoted spraying trials for the last five
years in the leading potato growing
counties in the state to determine,
first, whether early potato blight CAL
ternaria Solani) can be controlled by
the application of Bordeaux mixture,
and, secondly to determine whether
spraying should be recommended to
the potato grower as profitable in
vestment and insurance against
blight.
The term early blight Is mislead-
ing, due to the fact that the disease
does not usually Go serious damage
until after August is. 1t must also
be noted that the early blight upon
potatoes does not rot the tubers. This
injury is generally caused by some
other organism. The early blight
found is confined entirely to the vines
and reduces the yield by causing an
excessive percentage of culls and
small potatoes at harvest. The last
three weeks growth of the vine is
the important time in the formation
of tubers. BY infesting the vines at
this time, the disease shortens the
growing period about two weeks,
causing the large percentage of small
potatoes.
If these affected leaves are ex-
amined with a high power magnify
ing glass it will be discovered that
the tissues or cells of the leaf are
permeated with little threads or
strands of the fungus, which act like
roots in absorbing the food supply of
the leaf. If the leaf is thoroughly
torn apart, very often at the ends of
the little short threads will be found
minute club-shaped bodies called
spores. which serve a similar purpose
as do the seeds to the higher plants
(See Fig. 81 This little fungus plant
grows and develops similar to the
way of the potato on which it feeds.

wholly imperceptible to the naked
eye. The black spots visible on the

GIGANTIC POWER PLANT
FOR H0MESTAKE MINES
Million Dollar Project Is Launched in Black Hills
Five Miles of Conduit to Be Constructed

The Homestead Mining company,
the mainstay of the northern Black
Hills, has just commenced another
mammoth undertaking that will in
volve the expenditure of over $1,000
900, and will require at least year
and half under propitious circum-
stances to complete.
The new undertaking, on which the
actual constructive work will start in
thirty days if the weather proves sea
sonable, is the building Of an electric
power plant on Spearfish Creek, at
point about seven miles from Lead.
This plant will have maximum ca
pacity of 1000 horsepower, which is
to be utilized in the big mills of the
company in that city, in the mines
and at any other point where it may
be needed. The company estimates
that it will require the services of
200 men in carrying out this project.
immense Conduit Projected.
This is the second largest undertake
ing that the company has had from a
single piece standpoint, and it's details
are just made public. One of the prin-
cipal parts will be the building Of an
intake some five miles below the plant,
connected by conduit, the result be-
ing to leave the creek bed dry for that
distance. For several months past the
legal department of the company has
been engaged in securing the rights
and necessary steps in the project,
while men have been stationed all
winter on the creek, securing data as
to the flow and movements of the
stream, temperature, etc.
The conduit will consist of eight
tunnels varying from 1000 to 1000
feet in length In their construction

"MorHERs' DAY. PROCLAIMED.

In a proclamation which has been
issued by the governor he fixes date

follows: &
Recognizing the Importance of the

and realizing that no craftsmanship or

set apart and designate the second
Sabbath in our National memorial
month of May, as Mothers Day. in
grateful and loving remembrance Of
the one who, in our infancy, watched
over US with tenderest care, in our
youth gently guided us to higher
ideals, the counsel OF our maturer
years.
The fitness Of the observance Of
this day appeals to all social, fra

less than to the one who has derived

Official, professional and business
classes are all asked to join in the
observance Of this day, and l further
recommend that the churches observe
the day by special addresses in honor
OF Our Mothers and by the wearing
and distribution of the white flower
symbolizing purity, beauty and frag-

made to enable the aged and shut

The usual spring crop of railway
rumors for the state are flying about,
and whether any, Of them will take
definite form remains for the future
to tell Most of the officials, major
and minor, of the different railway
operating in the state are taking the
position that there will be but little
if any railway construction in South
Dakota until they know just how much
further the anti-railway legislation
which has prevailed in the last two
sessions is to be carried. In this they
may be running bluff, and may mean
what they say. At any rate, up to the
present there is but little on which
to base actual roalroad rumors.
So far as west Of the Missouri river
is concerned, it is claimed, on what is
considered good authority, that the
Milwaukee will construct a line from
their coast extension down into the
heart Of the section of the state which
is to be opened to settlement on the

Hills extension UP into the same sec
ton of the country. Since the sur

local officials of the road say there
will not be for year or more, so far
as they have any knowledge in regard
to 1t. That the legislative action last
winter stopped any further move in
that direction.
Another project which is being dis
cussed is the laying of track on the
grade between Pierre and Aberdeen.
This rumor floats practically every
year, and this time it is the Mime
apolis & St. Louis road which is to
take up the work. Aberdeen people
appear to feel confident that the work
is to be done by that company, and
this year yet. The grade is owned
by Pierre, and the men who have
it in charge, while not giving out any
definite information, take the position
that it will be an operating road with

donation to the railroad system
which will makes an operating line of

have no objections to it's being used by
