SPRAY POTATOES.
 SAVE THE CROP
Cheap Insurance Say Food Ex-
 pertS Of Defense Council

Hartford, July 7.-"Spray your potatoes, it is cheap insurance against loss through blight and bugs,' is the advice being given out by the com- mittee of food supply of the state Council of Defence. It is especially important that this precaution be taken, in hot, damp weather, accord ing to the information given out by the committee, Lecause it is during this sort of weather that blight de- velops and spreads.
 The people of the state should be especially warned this year against blight" said Professor w. l.. Slate of the Connecticut Agricultural College at committee headquarters today. "No one is going to let the bugs eat his potatoes without doing something to remedy condition, for the injury is immediately apparent. This is not true of blight. The bad work is done before people realize and once blight strikes potatoes the crop is done for" According to Professor Slate the prop CT way to control blight is to spray thoroughly with Bordeaux mixture, and to spray often enough to keep the plants covered. The poisons, such as paris green and arsenate of lead, used to kill the bugs, will not protect from blight. A number of prepared sprays are on the market which will both kill the bugs and control the blight. These are a little more ex- pensive than the home mixed sprays but are less trouble and are used by many small growers who do not care to take the trouble to mix their own sprays.
 Full information in regard to po- tato spraying may be had from the committee of food supply or from the Connecticut Agricultural College.
