Bugs Cause Blight, Says IlasIinger

During the past several years many
theories have been advanced as to the
cause of the tomato blight, and numer.
Gus remedies nave been proposed.
However, but few have ever been sue
cessful. The cause of the disease that
is so disastrous for tomato growers il
the MIDI Columbia district is still 9
puzzle for experts.
Geo. Haslnger, a Heights green
house man, is the latest with a theory
as to the cause of the disease and a
remedy for its cure He says the
blight is caused by a small bug that
works under the bark of the plants and
sucks the sap. If the plants are
grown in hotbeds in which the soil has
been thoroughly mixed with sulphur,
oakwood ash and Stacked lime and ther
transplanted in a soil that has the
same kind of treatment, the bugs car
be prevented from destroying the SAP
of the plants, he says.
Mr.. Haslnger says that one pound
of sulphur is enough for 100 plants,
which should be set in rows four feet
apart. When they are one month ole
the earth should be hIled up around
the plants six inches high and sticks
two feet long should be stuck beside
the plants. Tomatoes should not have
very much water, and when they are
irrigated the water should run in fur.

plants, so that the water will not come
in direct contact with the plants.

PennSylyania'S Finest Cow

William d. Robinson. a farmer near
Wilksbarre, has the prize COW of Peun-
sylvania, says a dispatch. Her supply
of milk is so great that the state col
lege of agriculture has taken her rec
ord as a subject of analysis, and it is
declared that she is the greatest butter
producer in the country.
Professor Painter. of the state col.
lege, who made a study of the COW s
production of milk, found that she
gave 536 pounds of milk in a week, OF
an average of more than 36 quarts for
each of the seven days she was under
test.
This milk produced 26.47 pounds of
butter, and at the average market
price of 40 cents pound, her yield is
worth nearly $ll a week. The COW is
not yet five years old, and is declared
to be the finest specimen of Alderney
IN the state.
