~FEIOIS POTATO DISEASES.
Ry w. 4. OFtOn.

More general and concerted efforts
~ the part of potato growers are
,,eeded to combat certain diseases
which threaten TO impair the vigor
ot the seed stock and to cause the
deterioration Of varieties, according
T. the United States Department Of
Aericulture's Investigator.
During recent years there has been
much doubt and misunderstanding
among plant pathologists and observ-
ant farmers concerning the group Of
potato diseases yariously referred to
as wilt, leaf roll, leaf curl, FuSarum
blight. bacterial ring diseases, etc,
which in different countries of the
world appear to constitute problems

agriculture. Environment has a most
important influence on crops in the
several States and in foreign coun-
tries Therefore, great care is need
ed 10 determine exactly which meth
cd of control is best in each specific
instance where disease is present
The fact should be particularly en-
phasiZed that the same system of seed
selection and crop rotation that will
tree the potato fields of wilt. leaf-roll
and curly dwarf, will not only bring
under control blackleg and some 9TH
ct diseases. but will insure the main
tenauce Of the strains cultivated in
their most vigorous condition and free
from Objectionable mixtures with
other varieties.
Losses from the late-blight and rot
occur mainly in the Northern States.
This causes particularly heavy losses
during cool and humid seasons. In

CHEMICAL DEVELOPMENT OF
OF ALFALFA.

An alfalfa field will yield on an
average 5000 pounds of cured hay
per acre Of Cne season. This cured
hay will contain about $3.50 pounds
Of dry matter. The number of pounds
of each of the four most important
ash constituents removed from an
acre by a seasons crop of alfalfa hay,
as compared with clover hay, is as
follows; Potash-alfalfa 206 lbs,
clover 66; Phosphates-alfalfa SO lbs,
clover %: Lime-alfalfa 80 lbs, clover
76; Magnesia-alfalfa % lbs, clover
II.
Alfalfa draws most heavily on the
lime and potash, resembling clover in
this respect, but because of its heavier
yield per season, a greater quantity OF
these ash constituents is removed. If
the alfalfa is fed on the farm and the
manure we'll preserved and returned
to the land, but little fertility is lost.
If it happens that the soils are poor
in these constituents, fertilizers of
lime in the form Of land plaster and
potash in the form of wood ashes can
be proftably applied.
With the aid Of nitrogen gathering
bacteria, alfalfa, like clover, can use
the free nitrogen Of the air. still it
must not be inferred that a fair sup
ply of nitrogen in the soil is unneces-
Sary or that the application OF
nitrogenous fertilizers is always waste

often continue developing in cold
storage, and decay is very apt to start
in such places. The fungus lives over
winter in the leaf spots, and is also
believed to be carried over 10 some
extent on the tWigS.
Scab also affects apple trees and
fruit, but usually it is not quiet so
serious as the pear scab.
Scab may be controlled by spraying
with either Bordeaux mixture (3-5-5O)
or lime-sulphur. The first applica ton
should be made just as the leaves are
unfolding. and another should be
given imm ediately after the blossoms
fall. The leaves should be plowed
under or gathered up and burned.

FARM NE WS

Widespread in America, but not vet
Identified from Europe. The distinct
i've characteristics OF this disease are
a rolling or willing Of the leaves and
premature death of the foliage.
Verticillium Wilt-A wilt resem-
bling the foregoing, often more rapid,
present in both America and Europe.
This disease is characterized by a
bhghting of the foliage, resulting in
the premature death of the hill
Leaf-ROll-An inheritable disease
marked by rolling Of the leaves, re-
duced yield, and other symptoms.
Probably not due to parasite Com
mon in Europe and lately appearing
in America. Leaf-ro1l causes an up
ward rolling of the leaves and a de-
creased yield of tubers.
Curly-Dwarf-An Unbeatable. non-
parasitic trouble in which dwarfing
is prominent characteristic. Found
in Europe and America. This disease
causes a dwarfed development of the
plant, accompanied by pronounced
curling and wrinkling of the foliage
Rosette-A stunted or dwarfed con-
ditiOn of the potato associated with
| injuries of the underground stems and
roots caused by fungus: most con-
| splcuous in the Western United States
| MOsaic-A condition marked by a
| mOttling and distortion of the foliage
present in Europe as we'll as America
| The effect Of Mosaic on the grOWtf
| and development of potato plants is
| quite marked. Most conspicuous is
| the irregular, wrinkled foliage.

north OF the Ohio this disease is par
ucularly common. 1t is now success
fully combatted by spraying with BOr-
ideauX mixture. 1t is also hoped that
more disease-resistant varieties will
soon aid in controlling this blight.
To the south early blight and tip
burn play greater role than the late
blight in injury to the potato crop.
4'arlN blight in apparently not so COM
mon IN the cooler and more uniform
climate of Northern Europe. Nor
does one tind there that tip-burn is
2s common as here where high sum-
nier temperatures combine with the
injuries of flea beetles and other in
Sects to cause excessive transpiration
and its consequent marginal burning

IN" of attack seems to be the produc-
uou OF varieties possessing heat re-

\ HELPFUL SUGGESTION

\ good many farmers are troubled
with the common suction pumps used
in deep wells-pumps that work hard
and draw but very little water These
can be made to work much better by
uncoupling the pipe as near the joint
as possible. Then place an old cylin-
der with a check valve in it al the
bottom. This will hold the pressure
OF the water and will lessen the strain
on the lift valve. [ have used this in
very deep wells and have had the best
of results-W. Byorton.

announced here by William Justice
Lee, manager of the material depart

marking of vegetable packages.
The protest is based, says Mr.. Lee,
on the fact that it will be impossible
to comply with this amendment, as
the shippers throughout the State
were unconscious of such an action
and were not informed of its en-
forcement in time to make any ar
