POTATO BLIGHT
IS DESTRUCTIVE

Frs AS WORST OF ALL

TREATMENT is GIVEN
Illinois Farmers Institute Reports
Best Means Found to Stop
or Prevent Dreaded
Growth.

Potato blight. which has long been
known as the most destructive Of all
potato troubles, is referred to exten.
stvely by the Illinois Farmers instit..
tute, which suggests good treatment
The disease, says the institute, has
two forms, the early blight (macros-
prium Salani, E. & NJ and the late
blight (phytophthora infestans, De
Bary), the latter also known in various
communities as rat, blight downy mil
dew. etc.
The early blight is not yet fully un.
derstood, but much of the early dying
of the leaves is caused by the fungus
mentioned. Observations tend to show
that the injuries caused by the flea.
beetle frequently serve as starting
points for the disease, whether it is
capable of entering uninjured tissue,
or whether its entrance is entirely de-
pendent upon the work Of the flea
beetle, has not been definitely deter
mined, but it is true that an abund.
ance of this insect usually precedes an
attack of early blight. When the
plants die from the attack the potatoes
do not rot, but they remain small

Spraying the vines with Bordeaux
mixture has given fairly good results;
1t should be used at least of normal
strength, and it appears probable that

the late blight does not appear early
In the season, consequently there is
abundant opportunity for treating the
vines, and the losses need not be
heavy
Injury caused by this fungus can be-,
almost entirely prevented by the APP:
plication of the Bordeaux mixture and,
in the proper use of this lungicide
there is no danger of disfiguring the
crop, nor Of injuring the foliage; 1T

ficult to apply.
Two or three thorough treatments
during the season. depending upon the,
weather, should prevent trouble from
this disease.
