POTATO CROP SHORT
Blight Has Injured Tubers in Wind
ham County


In the opinion of A. w. Sweeton,
Windham county agricultural agent,
not over so per cent of the average
potato crop of the county will be
marketed this fall The extremely
long season of wet weather and the
late-blight dry-rot which has been
prevalent this season are the two
principal reasons for this small crop.
The acreage this season is about the
same as for several years past, but
in most cases where the potatoes
were planted in moist ground they
are not being dug. The low places
stood in water much of the time and
there was no crop.
1t has been some years since late
blight has bothered the potato grow
ers of the county much, and in fame
led security most of them this year
failed to spray as preventative. In
consequence they are paying for this
failure with poor crops Not only
are many of the potatoes unmarketa-
BILE when dug, but others begin to de-
cay almost Immediately after being
placed in storage.
Wet weather helps materially to de-
velop this blight, which is one OF the
most destructive diseases in the New
England states. 1t is due to a flung
US which destroys the foliage in seas
ons Of moist weather. This is fol-
lowed by a rot, marked by sunken
dark spots on the tuber and by
brown discoloration Of the flesh ex.
tending in from the outside. Under
storage conditions this iBitypically
dry rot, but in the field freqently be-
comes a soft rot because bother organ
izations follow the late-blight fungus.
The failure of the potato growers
generally to spray this year accounts
for the late blight, and the washing
of the spores of the fungus from the
leaves to the ground, where 1t gets
hold on the tubars themselves, ac-
counts for the fact that so many pota
toes apparently healthy when dug,
soon show disease after being stored.
1t develops very quickly
In Wilmington there are two fields
of potatoes that were sprayed four
different times during the summer
and they are in excellent condition,
but there are scarcely any others in
that town that are up to the stand
ard In Jacksonville Wallace Allen
in one large field did not spray three
rows. There are no marketable po-
tatoes in these rows and elsewhere
in the field the crop is excellent,
clearly proof that spraying pays,

Temperaturs of the Earth.

1t has been generally believed that
the temperature increased at almost n
constant rate from the earth's surface
toward its center, but this suppositlon
appears to be Incorrect III the light OF
recent experiments. In one mine the
average rate of increase in tcmpera
ture, carried down to 5000 feet was
one degree for each $50 feet of de-
scent. Various results have been OBJ
tanned from measurements III other
places. No temperature variations
were shown between depths of l4oo
feet and 1900 feet In the Kalgooriie
mines in Australia. These and other
observations are considered as indi'

Echo of Stirring incident of Seven
Years Auo


Years Ago
Joe Bowe Of Brooklyn, twirler on
the North Adams baseball club of
seven years ago. who has been visit
ing in this city for several days past,
dropped III for a chat at the Trans
cript office yesterday. During the
course of his visit he cleared UP
matter which has always been a sub
ject of much speculation among local
baseball fans. 1t win be remembered
that Bowe quit the North Adams
club rather suddenly in mid-season
and returned home without giving
any explanation for his action. He
was going good on the slab at that
time and all were puzzled when they
learned OF his departure. The gen
eral belief was that Bowe had
grievance against Sebastian, who
was catching him. and for that reas-
on quit. Bowe stated yesterday, how
ever, that the reason he left the club
was that several of the players were
selling games. He did not want to
play the part OF squealer, he said,
and at the same time didn't care
about taking part in the proceedings,
Therefore he thought the best thin (
to do was to get away Shortly al.
ter his departure Manager Flaherty
released half dozen OF his players
for selling a game at Bennington, but
according to Bowe, the same crowd
had thrown game at Hoosick Falls
a week before. Bowe is still playing
baseball, holding down first base with
the New York fire department nine,
which has been cleaning up many of
the strong semi.pro clubs in the city.

their manners and customs are about
