sion Service.
This is the time Of the year TO keep
on the watch for the late blight Of po-
tatoes. A great many growers make IL
a regular practice TO spray their late
potatoes four or i've times with Bor-
deaux Mixture. but there are many who
never spray The first application
should be made when the plants are
about SIX inches high. This should be
repeated about every ten days during
the growing season.
The Fungus which causes the late
blight attacks the margins Of the
leaves first, then Il spreads rapidly
over the leaves into the stem and then
into the tubers. The diseased parts
turn black and give Of a characteristic
odor This disease spreC4s most rapid
ly during cool, wet weather II this
kind Of weather prevails for several
days In regions where the late blight
Is known TO exist. an epidemic may re
suit with total loss OF the crop. II
should be remembered In this connec
ton, that. the potatoes produced from
diseased plants usually decay IN stor-
