SUMNER BASEBALL FINDS
FAVOR IN SOUTHERN SCHOOLS

The movement to allow college ath.
1etes to play summer baseball as a
means Of livelihood, and still permit
them TO take part in school athletic
activities. has gained Roadway in the

legiate association, which directs ath-

ticipate In summer baseball for mon.
ey SO long as they do not play with

Just why organized baseball should

Spray For Late Blight
 And Rot of Potatoes

Late blight of potatoes develops dur ing wet weather. Spore production, dissemination and germination take place only under moist conditions. In dry seasons late blight does not de- yelop, as the fungus cannot become ac- tive. In years when there is abundant moisture in the form of rain, fog or heavy dews, particularly in the latter part of the season, the disease becomes epidemic, says the New York State Col lege of Agriculture.
 Spray the vines with bordeaux mix ture thoroughly and often. A 3-3-5O three pounds copper suIphHte, three hounds hydrated or stone lime, fifty gallons of water) bordeaux is strong enough to prevent blight, but on ac- count of stimulation to the vines q 4-4-5O or a 5-5-5O mixture Is advan- tageous.
 Spray first at the time when it Is usually necessary to apply poison for bugs. The iuscctlciGc can be added directly to the bordeaux.
 Spray often enough to cover and to protect new growth. This will he about every two weeks. During the latter part of the season, when danger from blight becomes greater, spray more frequently.
 Spray before the rainy periods rather than after them. Study the weather forecasts.
 Spray with at least two nozzles to each TOW when making the later ap- piications. This is necessary in order to do thorough job. From seventy five to a hundred gallons of the spray mixture will be required to cover an acre when the vines are large. Spray late in the season.
