SAVE THE POTATO CROP.

Late Blight and Rot Fungus Now Pre-.
vaiIing In Ohio.
i ionic agricultural experiment station.i
The late blight and rot fungus of po-
tato has been collected in practically
all Of the potato fields about Wooster,
Aug. GIG, 1915, by representatives of
the botanical department Of the Ohio
experiment station. This has already
made unusual progress under the re-
cent cool, moist weather and certainly
has been at work for a week or more.
The same fungus was collected Aug.
Is, 1904; July 25, 1905; Aug. 8, 1906,
and Aug. 13 and II, 1912. Should the
season continue, as heretofore, with
cool weather or be very moist it is
feared the injury to the late crop may
prove to be very great, even exceeding
that Of 1905.
This disease works very rapidly and
is disting lishable from the other dying
Of potato leaves by the m1ldew- like or
frosted appearance Of the under por-
tion Of the diseased parts of leaves.
This late blight and rot of potatoes
may be prevented by spraying fire.
quently with strong bordeaux mixture,
made with four to six pounds Of blue
vitriol and four to six pounds of lime
to fifty gallons Of water, the spraying
to begin Immediately. This spray re-
quires to be repeated at eight to ten
day intervals until the crop is matured.
In 1905 spraying as above gave a gain
of forty to forty-five bushels of mar
ketable potatoes to the acre upon the
late crop. -Four to six sprayings may
yet be required on very late paintings
Under conditions such as have charac-
terized the season Of 1915 delay in
spraying treatment is most unwise.
The rot of tubers follows the leaf dy-
Ing. Instructions for making and ap-
plying the spray are contained in the
Spray Calendar, bulletin 232, which
will be sent upon application.
For these later applications of the
spray about 100 gallons per acre or
even more will be required for effec-
tive covering Of leaves. With an or
dinary four row sprayer it will be
wise to go twice over the field, moving
IN the opposite direction the second
time, after the first spray has dried.

HARD ANU SOFT WHEAT.
The Former Best For Most Sections of
Kansas.

The Former Best For Most Sections Of
Kansas.
I'm all Of Kansas except the eastern
one-fourth hard wheat should be pre-
ferred to soft wheat" says L. E. Call,
professor Of agrOnomy in the Kansas
State Agricultural college Because OF
the favorable yields made by the soft
wheat this year many farmers in DIFF
ferent parts Of the state have written
to the college concerning the advisable
ity of planting soft wheat in place OF
hard wheat this year.
'"The reason that the soft wheat turn
ed out we'll this year," says Professor
Call, "is because Of the rainy weather
encountered. Soft wheat has a strong
er straw and does not lodge as easily
as does hard wheat. Upon the bottom
lands in the eastern one fourth of Kan
sas soft wheat can be grown success
fully he says, "but upon the uplands
II the eastern part Of the state the
hard wheat will prove as good as the
soft wheat"
It would be serious mistake for the
farmers in the western three-fourths of
the state, believes Professor Call, to
plant any soft wheat. Hard wheat
makes a much better -four than does
the soft wheat, and the reputation Of
the state as producer of wheat rests
upon the hard wheat crop. If soft
wheat is grown it is apt to become
mixed with the hard wheat at the ele-
vators, so that the prices at the termi-
nal will be reduced and both the soft
wheat and the hard wheat farmers will
lose money.
Although soft wheat has an advan-
tage in wet season, it has many dis
advantages. During the past eight
years in the experiments on the college
farm practically all Of the varieties of
the soft wheat have winter killed each
/ year, while but in one year did the
s hard wheat winter kill. The soft wheat
y Is not free from damage by the Hes
/ sian fly, though in many places the
| past year the soft wheat seemingly
was not damaged in the eastern states
where soft wheat is grown it is dam
aged severely at times by the Hessian
fly.
