SPRAY POTATOES EARLY.
First Danger Period Comes When the
Vines Are Six Inches HIGH.

When potato vines break through the
ground and reach height of five or
six inches the flea beetles appear by
the millions. They riddle the leaves.
shoot them full OF holes,n and so
weaken the plants that they fall an
easy victim to early blight. The beetle
can be controlled and at the same OPP
Grafton early blight can be prevented.
Early spraying. however, Is necessary.
for spraying Is a preventive rather
than a cure.
II Is difficult to poison the flea beetle.
but for some reason or other he shuns
the vines which have been sprayed,
and becomes so discouraged that little
or no damage is done. Perhaps he is
starved out, but be this as 1t may, n
combined spray, containing some poi
son for those of the flea beetles that
stay, and fungicide to guard against
the blight gives magnificent results.
The best fungicide for the purpose Is
bordeaux mixture, either commercial
or home prepared. AS the spores Of
the blight strike the leaf they are
killed by the copper In the spray COW
ering. and as long as the vines are
covered the blight cannot gain head
way.
Perhaps you do not know the early
blight, but the chances are that you
have seen 1t and thought 1t was extra
early ripening.
This blight usually comes shortly
after the potato is set. and when the
growing tubers cause great strain on
the plant. Small brown spots appear
on the leaf; these later run together.
the whole leaf turns yellow or brown.

! After myifather and mother were married.
they went 20 reside at Isle su Haul. While
living.there my father questioned the Oldest
settlers II they ever knew or heard of the bay
being frozen over, and they never had. SO he
said il it was ever frozen over in his life time,
and he was able, be would walk across it,
In the year of 1888, In February, he had been
to the village stores one evening. He said:
People say that the bay is frozen over. and
that a man and woman crossed to-day. To-
morrow morning am going to start" was
. then just seventeen years old, and said:
why cannot go toos" "You can If you can
walk it," There were no teams then, only
oxen.
So just as the sun was rising we started.
We had to walk four miles before we came to
the ice; there had been light snow the night
before, so the ice was just right. Before we
left, father went into building and got a
long slim pole that he called u ten-foot pole
After we had walked a mile or two we saw
ahead of us man and woman who had large
dog harnessed to handsled with basket
on it, and child about two years old. We
did not come up with them but followed in
their tracks. We arrived at stonington
! then Green's Landingl about O'Clock, and
received q warm welcome from relatives. In
I the afternoon my father went out to visit
/ old friends.
The next day we got early dinner, and
! about 10 O'Clock We started on our retur IN trip
4 AS We neared the channel we could see the
| ice rise and fall with the action OF the tide.
AS we were to cross this dangerous place, my
father said: "You stay on the other side. II
break through can save myself with this
pole; il we are together we will both be
drowned" / watched and saw him cross all
/ right, then he came back and took hold of my
hand and we safely crossed the dangerous
place. On our way there was an island on
which dwelt an old friend of my fathers

SAVE THE LABOR IN GROWING

There are but two ways Of saving
human labor In growing potatoes; one
is to use more horses per pillow. two
row cultivators instead Of one-row
cultivators. and the like; the other is
to make labor produce more bushels
per hour, and in this way reduce the
labor cost per bushel.
In certain New York counties some
five years ago 1t was found that it
took about 65 hours of human labor
to grow an acre of potatoes. as fol-
