THE BITTER ROT IN APPLES
Spraying With Bordeaux Mixture Is
Effective combative Method.

There is every reason to expect a
bad year for bitter rot this year, and
there is only one way to fight it. Prun-
ing last winter would have helped. AL
so spraying about June 20 would have
aided. But it is now too late for
either of these and should the dread
ed bitter rot appear in your orchard
it means either fight or quit.
The way to fight is to spray at once
with homemade Bordeaux mixture.
then, as soon as the orchard has been
covered go over it again with the
same mixture. Everything depends
upon getting perfect coating Of the
mixture on the fruit early in the fight.
After the first double spraying, sin
gle spraying with the same mixture
after two weeks will be necessary. AT.
ter this 1t will depend upon the
weather how much other spraying
must be done
The Bordeaux mixture is made OF
hluestone ten pounds, good fresh lime,
ten pounds. water to make a hundred
gallons The mixture is made by a
special method that cannot be ex-
planned here for want OF space. Full
directions may be had by getting Bull
letin ia and Circular FL, from the Elk
pertinent Station at Fayetteville.

Second Crop of Potatoes.


To grow second crop Of Irish po-
tatoes to be used for winter uses is a
perplexing problem for the farmer
Keeping the first crop over for winter
use is almost impossible and 1t is a
choice of buying the winter supply or
growing the second crop.
The greatest difficulty in planting
the first crop seed is in getting a
stand. The new potatoes will not ger.
inmate readily. and if planted only a
small percentage will grow.
Some growers overcome this diff
Guilty by placing the seed potatoes, as
soon as they are dug. in moist fairly
cool place such as in shallow trench
in the shade of tree. Or by cutting
in halves. spreading on the ground
and covering with pine needles kept
moist. They are then watched, and as
they show signs of sprouting are
planted in deep burrows, covering
lightly at first, working the soil to
them rs they grow until level. Then
cultivate shallow and level Some va.
rieties make better second crop than
others, among which are Early Rose,
Bliss Triumph, Irish Cobbler and
Peerless. Plant in soil where the mois.
ture has been retained.

ALFALFA At PROFIT
ON ARKANSAS FARM
Farmer Tells How He Experimented
With This Forage Crop to Get Good
Yield.

It was on hill farm in Washington
County The first cutting came off
May Is, and yielded little more than
a ton to the acre. The second cut
ting was ready the second week OF
June and yielded even better. The
third growth was cut July 10 with as
large crop as before. And the field
continues to grow, and with hay SELL
ing at S18 ton.
In giving his reasons for his sue
cess with alfalfa the owner Of the farm
made the following statement:
Il first tried alfalfa in 1912, and tol-
lowing the advice of neighbors,
worked my soil up is good shape and
seeded in the spring. l got a good
stand, but later in the season the
plants turned yellow and finally the
weeds took the CROP"
II was strongly impressed with the
possibilities of the alfalfa crop and
began reading alfalfa literature in

"The field which l aimed to put into
alfalfa consisted of three acres Of fair
upland with good drainage. In the
spring of 1913 l fertilized with barn.
yard manure at the rate OF II tons to
the acre and planted to cowpeas. This
crop served as a smother crop to clear
the land of weeds. turned these un-

cutting up the vines with a disc har-
row before doing so. Later l applied
air-slaked lime at the rate of 1,O90
pounds to the acre. Late in the after
noon OF the day before seeding I dis
tributed soil from an old alfalfa field
over the field to be planted at the
rate of four or five hundred pounds to
the acre, and followed with spike
tooth harrow. This plan avoided the
exposure of nitrogen fixing bacteria to
the direct rays of the sun.
"The seed was sown broadcast upon
the well-firmed seed bed. A good
growth was made in the fall which
was allowed to remain for winter pro-
lection. No great difficulty was ex
perienced the following season with
weeds and four fairly good crops were
taken off the field'
