Lime for Sweet Potato Rot.

Messrs. Editors: Some one inquir-
ed some time since, What will pre-
vent black rot in sweet potatoes?"
My experience with black rot is as
follows: The first two years that I
cultivated sweet potatoes on the place
I now own they we're SO badly at
fected with black rot at digging time
that they were not at all At for mar.
ket and were all rotten within two
months. The third year planted
only half an acre. thinking that
would make more than I could use
before they rotted.
That year l used ashes that were
saved from the fireplaces and the
stove as part Of my manure. You
can imagine my surprised delight to
find them perfectly free from the
black rot when I went to dig them.
began to study the cause for this.
argued that the only element in the
ashes that l had not used the pre-
vious years was the lime, so the next
year l used lime along with my fer
tilizers and have not been bothered
since with black rot where I used
lime. Last year I neglected to use
any lime and my potatoes were al.
most worthless.
From this l conclude that an ap-
plication OF 200 to 500 pounds OF
lime per acre (the quantity depend
ing on how badly they were affected)
will to all practical purposes prevent
the black rot. l used 1t in the drill,
but do not object to some Of It being
scattered outside. l do not mix 1t
with other fertilizers on account Of
Its bad effect, but prefer to put 1t
out and run a pillow in the drill to stir
the lime into the soil before applying
the fertilizbers.
The lime can be bought loose in
car load lots. unslaked, at about IS
a ton delivered. so that 1t is not cost
ly to use and it's use has given such
good results to me, and to some of
my neighbors, that I would not set
another sprout on this land without
lime In some form to go under 1t.

X FRUIT, TRUCK AND VEGETABLES x

for treatment Of peach or any other
fruit tree, one should always recon-
mend an arsenical, preferably arsen-
ate of lead. for there are a number
of foliage-eating insects, and, on the
apple the codling moth does great in
jury, on the peach and plum the
curculio is very destructive. Just
yesterday I examined some unspray-
ed plum trees and found a great deal
of curculio injury to the young fruit
and these insects cannot be controll-
ed with lime-sulphur or bluestone.

Comment by Prof. Massey.-One
or two experiments like Mr.. Sutton
has made. cannot prove anything. and
personally, I have little faith In lime
as a preventive Of the rot In sweet
potatoes. Still I have not tried It and
the matter is worth testing thorough
ly. 1t is easy, however, to avoid the
rot II the grower will avoid planting
the same land in sweet potatoes year
after year, and will bed only clean,
sound potatoes. Sprinkling with am
moniacal copper carbonate solution
after storing, is said to check the
spread of rot in the bins. But II only
sound potatoes are bedded In clean
sand under glass, there will be little
II any rot.

The Plum Curculio and Brown Rot
of Peach.

of Peach.
Messrs. Editors: | have Just read
Prof. Massey's recent answer to
query on spraying the orchard. and
must say that this is very misleading
and in fact, is not safe. 1t does not
answer the question, for there is not
a word in regard to treatment for in
sects except San Jose scale, and in
this section the plum curculio does
more damage to peaches and plums
than any other insect These can not
be controlled by the sprays he recon-
mends. and. not only that, the brown
rot, which Is the worst disease of the
peach latitude, can not be controlled
without destroying the curculio as 1t
is an important factor in spreading
the disease. The puncture of the
curculio gives place for the en-
trance of the spores Of brown rot,
and 1t has been shown quite conclu-
sively that without controlling the
curculio the rot cannot be checked.
The use of lime-sulphur wash for
San Jose scale Is all right, but he
says that the lime and sulphur may
be mixed together and pounds OF
bluestone to so gallons of water,
and all applied to peaches in foliage.
Now II is known that pounds OF
sulphur In the form Of the self-boil-
ed wash is sufficient for the brown
rot and peach scab, and even If
the Is pounds did not injure the
trees, IL would be throwing away the
extra pounds OF sulphur and about
IL pounds OF lime. Bluestone OF
copper sulphate should never be ap-
piled at the rate OF five pounds to SO
gallons OF water on peaches, for 1t
will kill the foliage and spot the
fruit
Two to 81 pounds Is all that Is
safe. and even that amount doe.
some injury. would not think Of
using the mixture he recommends
for spraying trees in active condition
and would not recommend II to any
one. Extensive experiments have been
carried on for the past three years
testing the efficiency OF self-boiled
lime-suiphur wash for peach diseases
and II has been found very efficient
as a fungicide and does no injury to
the foliage. as does Bordeaux mix
turs.
