Spraying for Potato Blight

spraying with bordeaux mixture
Is a preventive and not II cura'
tive measure. 1t must be done
before the attack is expected and
before it can be seen. Even so
far east as Wisconsin it has sell
dom been found profitable to
spray. In NewYork and Maine
it pays to spray even when the
disease does not become visible !;
although the operation cost from
$500 to $1,000 per acre for the
season. Spraying may sometimes
be profitable in our mountains on
early lots of potatoes, and may
be tried in fruit regions where
the apparatus is available. 1t
should begin when the potatoes
are six inches high and continue
at intervals of seven to ten days
for three or four times. On late
potatoes in New York six or eight
sprayings or even fifteen or twen-
ty are used by some; and they
told me in Maine that good grow
ers We're coming to use the three
nozzle-to-the-row sprayer, to cover
the stems and under sides of the
leaves, not alone the upper sides.
Spraying is of no use whatever
for willis or soil diseases, as the
trouble, though indicated by the
leaves, does not lie there, but
in the stems where it cannot be
reached.

POTATO DISEASES SERIOUS
IN THE STATE
By C. L. Fitch, Potato Expert.

The past spring was very dry
and ditch water was in many
places scarce and late.
In potato regions there We're
many fields which had been over
cropped. On account of grass
hoppers and drouth and feeding
conditions in previous years, there
was not the normal amount of
alfalfa sod and manure available
for potato growing. In some parts
a warm, dry summer followed; in
the mountains July was a month
of heavy and constant rain. These
are the conditions for potato dis
ease in Colorado: l. Plants not
thriftily started on rich potato
soil. 2. Undue drouth. 3. Pro
longed and excessive moisture.
At this writing 60 per cent
seems high for our potato crop
in 1911.
Much of this disease is avoid
able.
We hope to have ready Ian
tern slide lecture on this subject
for use in growers meetings next
winter. 1t is of great Importance
to formulate a policy for cambat-
ing this trouble in the future.
Lack of funds will make it
necessary to charge a small fee
for their use to help pay for the
preparation of the slides.
Potato Blights
Blights or diseases located in
the leaves of potatoes are unim-
portant in Colorado. Of the two
of Importance elsewhere, we have
only the early blight. Late blight
we do not have at all, nor is it
serious west of New York.
Late blight seems to have lived
with the potato in the Andes be
fore it was used by man. The dis
ease became a factor at times in
Europe soon after the potato was
introduced. Late blight caused the
famines and precipitated the po-
litical agitation and the emigration
from Ireland that has so reduced
the population of that country.
The disease affects the leaves and
stems and may drop whole fields
rotting ard stenching upon the
ground. If potatoes are dug too
soon after late blight appears the
disease may also rot the tubers.
Early blight occurs but seldom
at Greeley where the crop Is
grown late to avoid fungus trou-
bles of the kind.
In the mountains where potatoes
are earlier, early blight may be-
come important in damp weather
in July or August The mold or
fungus that causes early blight at
tacks the leaves in spots, often
spreading in concentric circles.
The spots become brown or
black and often drop out. The
trouble becomes serious if too
much leaf surface is lost.
In another article we will tell
how to spray potatoes for early
blight.

How to Use Bed Cross Seals

How to Use Red Cross Seals" is
the title of an interesting publication
recently issued by the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
Of tuberculosis.
Red Cross Seals must be placed
only on the back OF letters and not
on the address side of packages that
are going through the mail They
may be placed anywhere on matter
going by express. Care should be
taken in sending merchandise through
the mails not to place seals over the
strings with which the package is tied,
since this seals the package against
inspection and subjects it to first
class postage rates. AS many seals
may be used on the back of letter
or package as may be desired. Every
one is urged to use them literally,
since every seal is a bullet I'm the war
against tuberculosis.
Red Cross seals are not good for
postage, and will not carry mail mat
ter, but any kind of mail matter will
carry them. Finally, every letter or par
eel sent out, either by mail or in some
other way, during the holiday sea-
son should bear one or more Red
Cross Seals.
