SPRAYING THE IRISH

BORDEAUX MIXTURE USED sue.
CESSFULLY AT EXPERIMENT

VlLlE-oTHER MIXTURES.

The early crop of Irish potatoes in
Arkansas is especially subject to fruit
troubles that can be kept out largely
by spraying. These are the early
blight, sometimes called black rust,
and the Colorado potato beetle, some,
times called simply the potato bug.
The early blight causes the loss often
AS much as fifty per cent Of a crop
because Of the failure to form tubers.
1t makes matters worse in a dry sea.
son, and in dry seasons causes the
greatest trouble. Every Irish potato
grower should spray for the blight
because it is so wide spread
that there is hardly a potato patch in
the state free from it, and we should
spray also for the potato beetles If
they appear in the potato patch, The
spray for the beetles can be simply
added to the regular spraying for the
blight and Will cost no more for ap.
plication, the only cost being the small
amount for the poison.
For the early blight use Bordeaux
mixture at the strength Of 4s4-50 This
is the ordinary Bordeaux mixture, For
the potato beetle you can add to this
mixture when you are making the or.
dinary spraying, five or six ounces Of
Paris green to every so gallons OF
spray mixture, or you can use two or
three pounds Of arsenate Of lead paste
TO 90 gallons OF this spray mixture.
The regular spraying will be given
as follows; The first one when the po.
tato plants are about s inches high,
the second and third ones at intervals
of about two weeks following this.
Usually these three will be sufficient
IN any ordinary season.

and wheat shorts, supplemented by
one part Of tankage to eight or ten
parts Of corn and shorts mixture, made

ration.
A few days before farrowing put
the SOW in a pen by herself and cut
down the ration a little and perhaps
