SPRAY POTATOES TO
AVOID LATE BLIGHT
Prompt Spraying With Bordeaux
Mixture Will in Most Cases
Be Found Effective.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Potato late blight, a fungous disease,
capable of causing enormous destruc-
ton, has appeared in several states
from Maine to New Jersey and West
Virginia, according to the United
states department of agriculture. The
blight occurred early this year and re-
ports show that 1t is more prevalent
than usual. While in some fields the
blight is already beyond control,
prompt spraying with bordeaux mix
ture will in most cases still be effec-
tive, the specialists advise. Unless po-
tato growers spray thoroughly with
bordeaux mixture they fear that the
large potato crop that has been prom
lsed will not be realized, as late blight,
If uncontrolled, is capable of reducing
the national crop at the rate Of 2,000,-
300 bushels per day.
To produce large crop the tops
must be kept healthy till frost as the
tubers Increase in size most rapidly
during the last weeks of the season.
The late blight kills the tops and
causes the tubers to rot in the ground.
The blight starts In a few centers In
the field where diseased potatoes were
planted. Brown spots develop on the
leaves and whitish mildew appears
on their under side. Frequent rains
and warm, muggy weather furnish
ideal conditions for the development of
the blight under which the foliage
blights rapidly, the leaves hang black
ened and dead and the tubers begin to
rot. Dry and hot weather on the 9th
er hand tends to check the progress of
the blight but growers should spray
Immediately and not trust their crops
entirely to improvement In weather
conditions.
AS an effective preventive of late
blight bordeaux mixture has proved
Its value for 25>years. Every grower
from Maine to Michigan and south to
Virginia is urged to spray at once
and repeatedly.
How to Make Bordeaux Mixture.
Homemade bordeaux mixture is
best, Use
Bluestone "copper" sulphate) pounds
luicklime ............'............,a pouhus
Prepare the copper sulphate by sus-
pending it In a gunny sack just below
the surface of several gallons of wa
ter In a clean barrel. When the sui
phate is dissolved, which requires
three or four hours, remove the sack
and stir into the barrel enough addi-
tlonal water to make exactly % gal
Ions of the copper solution.
Prepare the lime by shaking 1t slow
ly and thoroughly In clean barrel,
strain, and add enough additional wa
ter to make exactly 25 gallons of
lime milk. Stir thoroughly.
Pour the two ingredients together
Into another barrel, or better directly
into the spray tank. If 1t Will hold 80
gallons. 1t is highly important to stir
the mixture very thoroughly and to
strain both ingredients before they are
combined, as otherwise clogging of the
spray nozzles might result. Use cop
per or bronze wire stralner of IS
meshes to the inch. Do not put cop
per sulphate or bordeaux mixture into
tin or iron vessels; use wood or cop
per containers. Mix the bordeaux as
The Elbert County tribune., 1917-08-31

needed and apply at once. 1t is never
so good after 1t has settled.
Where polsons such as arsenate OF
lead are to be combined with bordeaux
mixture. add the poison after the two
solutions are mixed. Then stir well.
Stock Bordeaux Solution.
Those who use bordeaux mixture
frequently and In quantity will find 1t
convenient to keep concentrated
stock solution on hand, as these keep
Indefinitely If the water which evap-
crates Is replaced.
Build an elevated platform to hold
the barrels. The night before the
day you wish to commence spraying,
suspend so pounds OF copper sulphate
to dissolve In 50-gallon barrel OF
water. Slake 80 pounds of lime In
another barrel. Add water to make 80
gallons of lime milk. When bordeaux
mixture Is needed, stir both stock bar
rels well and take four gallons from
each stock barrel. Dilute the copper
sulphate In one barrel by adding
enough water to make % gallons. d.
lutte the lime milk in another barrel
by adding enough water to make 25
gallons. Stir each thoroughly. Com
bine the two as in previous directions.
Thorough agitation is essential In max
Ing good bordeaux mixture.

vegetation that would otherwise be
wasted, the cost can be made even
lower.
The Belgian and Flemish giant rab-
bits are recommended for meat produc-
ton, as the ordinary tame rabbit is
smaller and develops more slowly.
Stock of Belgian hares may be bought
from breeders In nearly all the states
Mt 81 to SO each. They may OCCASION
ally be had from pet stock dealers.
Fancy pedlgreed stock Is not required
for meat production.
Rabbits are easily kept. They eat
hay. grass, lawn cuttings and green
vegetation of many kinds. Females
should be allowed to breed when eight
or ten months old, and during the year
should raise four ntters OF about six
young each. Well fed. the young reach
marketable size when three to four
months old and average from five to
six pounds live weight.
The department of agriculture has
published bulletin on raising rab-
bits which will be helpful to those who
wish to engage in this pursuit.

WILL NOT ALLOW
NATIONAL ARMY
men TO VOTE
Camp Taylor Men Will Not
Be Allowed Burroughs to
Vote. II

CAMP ZACHARY TAYLOR, KY,
Oct. 20.-None of the soldiers Of the
National Army from Kentucky, Indi-
ana and Illinois, now in training at
Camp Zachary Taylor, will be allowed
furloughs to go to their homes to vote
Announcement to that effect has been
made by the Division Staff of the Saith
Division. National Army, in reply to
numerous inquiries from politicians
in all three states from which the
men are drawn.
The letters On the subject were of
three classes One merely asked for
information. Another group expressed
desire that the men be allowed to
return. inrimating they might save
the day." while the third group was
from those who were anxious that
the men not be allowed to return.
Several writers asserted that the re-
suit Of local elections hinged on
whether or not soldiers returned to
vote
Col. Laurence Halstead, Division
chief of staff@said there was not the
remotest chance of the men being
granted furloughs to return to their
homes to vote unless the War De,
partment issued special orders to that
| effect
Officers believe that a few days
absence from the camp would mean a
| setback of weeks in training and a
! long delay III getting the men ready
! for the front
In Louisville 700 men at Camp Tay
| lor under normal conditions would
| have voted. If all, or nearly all were
of one political party, it can be seen
what effect it would have on a close
| election.
| From Indianapolis there will be
about 1900 voters at the camp on the
date of the election, Nov. 6. Other
cities in Indiana and the other two
states where there will be municipal
elections have sent men in proportion
| to their populations, so the effect
throughout will be about the same.

CORN PRICES EASE
DOWN ON MARKET

CHICAGO, Oct. 20.-Favorable con-

fields where the husking had already
been done, notably central Ohio.

acre was produced In addition, the
general forecast pointed to welcome
fair weather and low temperature dur

cember S115 is to $115 3-8 and May

SIC RECEIPTS
OF WHEAT HERE

Wheat receipts have been heavy at
the Richmond Roller mills this week.
All the wheat is used for milling.
A like experience is reported from
the Champion mills. The supply has
been more than equal to the demands
of the management which had to stop
buying on this account. Both mills
have been busy milling wheat into
flour
The Hazelrigg elevators at Straughn,
Cambridge City and Pershing, have
shipped much wheat away in order
that farmers might bring in the re
mainder of their grain. Cambridge
City millers have reported big re
ceipts of wheat this week.
Farmers in from county sections
Saturday, stated that corn was still
sappy, and that continuance of the
moderate warm weather was desired
so that it might set. Cutting and
shocking is proceeding in most sec
tions, but it will be month before
corn is ready for the crib.

Within two months sixteen "war

struction Of greater magnitude than

This great task has been success
fully carried out through the close
coordination of the lumber industry
with the war machine. Working un-

the lumbermen have accomplished
feats believed impossible even by
officials of the War Department.
