Some farmers are still skeptical
about spraying with bordeaux mix
ture for blight. This is what c. w.
Williams and his son, Leo, of South
Albany did last year. They sprayed
their potatoes whenever it was neces-
sary to keep the plants coated with
bordeaux mixture. Parts of six rows
through the middle Of the field were
left unsprayed throughout the season.
After the early frost had killed all
the vines, SO hills each of the SPRAYED
and unsprayed rows were dug. The
SO hills of the unsprayed rows yield ed
37.1 lbs, Of market potatoes while the
so hills that were sprayed yielded 84.2
lbs, an increase of All lbs. or 227@o.
Figured on an acre basis this means
ESQ bushels to the acre for the spray
ed rows and 123 bushels for the un-
sprayed, a difference of 157 bushels
to the acre. At SOC bushel this
means a difference per acre of $126.
It pays to spray!

Agricultural Association Notes.

1t isn't too late to pay your Associ-
alton dues. There are a lot of old
members who haven't paid up for
1918. Do it now!
While speaking Of potatoes, men
ton should be made of power spray
ers. There are several of these ma
chimes in various parts Of the county.
Several more could be put to good
use the coming season. Kill kale,
prevent blight, kill the bugs, white
wash the barn-do any or all with a
power sprayer. Get your neighbor
interested.
Some of the farmers who make
their own butter in this county ought
to send a sample to the education but
ter scoring held each month by the
extension service at Burlington Com
petent judges score the samples.
There is no charge for this service.
The five-pound samples of butter are
sold after being scored and the pro-
ceeds of each returned to the sender
with his score and suggestions as to
how he may improve the quality. If
interested, notify the county agent.

tilizers.
The outfit for mixing consists of a
tight barn floor or a wagon body, ar
iron rake or hoe and sand screen
with three meshes to the inch.
If the nitrate of soda is caked OF
lumpy, spread it on the barn floor
moisten it very slightly and let Jumps
stand over night. The Jumps will
fall apart upon raking the next morn
ing. Note that you should be very
careful to moisten ONLY SLIGHT
LY.
Place the bulkiest materials on the
! bottom of the pile and the heaviest
on top. The others in the same order.
Mix carefully by use of shovel or
rake the same as you would IN mixing
cement. Be sure to cut through the
pile so that some of each ingredient
is in each shovelful. The whole pile
should be mixed over three or four
times, even more times if the mix
ture does not look evenly mixed.
Screen the mixture and bag for
use.
If the mixture is in good mechani-
cal condition and put in dry place,
it may be kept for long time with
out caking or disintegrating. If tank
age is used in the mixture there is
little danger of caking. If no tank
age is used and it seems desirable to
mix the nitrate of soda and acid phos-
phate some little time before it will
be used on the field, it may lump and
should be screened the day it is to be
used. If you wish to mix now, and
avoid the necessity of screening at
planting time, you may use about one
quarter part Of fine sawdust or very
fine sand or land plaster, not lime. Do
not under any consideration use lime
or wood ashes with this mixture.
Sifted coal ashes make a very Good
filler
Filler is not necessary in any case
except as mentioned above.
