BLIHGT HITTING POTATOES
Standard Remedy is Bordeaux
Mixture, Says Agent Carriean

Reports are coming in from different
parts of the county relative to blight
attacking the potato crop. Already in
some sections the early blight seems to
have hit the crop and farmers are ask
ing what to do. The best way to pre-
vent early and late blight is by spraying
the potato crop with Bordeaux Mixture.
This spray should be applied at least
once every two weeks beginning at
once. 1t is very important that farmers
adopt this practice since it pays even
though the blight does not hit the crop.
The directions for making Bordeaux
Mixture are as follows: Dissolve 3
pounds of blue vitrol in about 5 gallons
of water; dissolve about five pounds Of
lime in five gallons of water; put 40
gallons of water in a barrel and add the
gallons of blue vitrol solution, stirring
it gently; next add the gallon solution
of lime, stirring as it is added. Never
mix the gallon solution Of blue yitrol
directly with the gallons of lime sou-
ton because it may result in faky
solution, which will pass through the
spraying nozzle.
