Spraying Controls Potato Blight.

In the first place I have found that
thorough cultivation causes a
vigorous growth and tends to hold the
disease in check. But once it is
started 1 use bordeaux, and if applied
at the proper time and with care I
think this will effectively check the
disease. The potato patch must be
watched very carefully and sprayed
with bordeaux as soon as symptoms
of the disease are seen. The disease
is not transmitted through the seed
potatoes, as is the case with late
blight and rot.
Late blight or rot is one of the
downy mildews. I have found that
some varieties are more susceptible
to it than others. It affects the
tubers, as we'll as the stems and
leaves, and spreads much more rapid
~ and does a great deal more damage
than early blight. Like other fungus
diseases potato blight is most de-
structive in wet weather. A tempera-
ture OF 10 to "A degrees is most favor
able, and if the temperature exceeds
II degrees for several days the disease
will likely be checked. Blacklist or
brown areas appear on the leaves,
and these soon become rotten and ill
smelling.
1 am particular about planting
clean seed, but no matter how much
care take in that direction I always
spray with bordeaux just as soon as
the plants are about inches high.
think it is dangerous to wait until the
disease appears, because if weather
conditions are favorable for it's de-
Velopment it may only be partially
checked, and great damage will re-
