KEEPING THE TRACTOR BUSY
Owners of Power Outfits Urged to
Make Good Use of Them in In
creasing Food Supply.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agrculture)
Owners of tractors which are not
kept busy through the blowing and
seeding season will perform a patri-
otto neighborly duty by granting use
of these outfits to neighbors, who may
be short of labor or hands to prepare
seedbeds. A reasonable rate of hire
for the tractor would enable the trac-
tors to make return during other
wise idle periods, but, most important,
will make it possible for others at rea-
sonable expenditure to have a full acre
age and add to the nations important
food supplies. The same might be fol-
lowed with regard to horses and va
rious farm machines, which should not
be allowed to remain idle when food
producing neighbor can keep them busy

SPRAYING POTATOES
TO CONTROL BLIGHT
Experiments Prove That Bor-
deaux Mixture Is Effective.
Results Given of Tests Conducted
Last Year in Aroostook County,
Maine, by the Department
of Agriculture.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
That thorough spraying will control
late blight in seasons of bad infec-
ton has been proven many times in
the past and most recently in tests
conducted last year in ArOOstOok
county, Maine, by the United States
department of agriculture in cooper
ntion with the Maine agricultural ex-
pertinent station. Some potato grow
ers have expressed their opinion that
it does not pay to spray potatoes for
this disease. Growers of this opinion
claim that when the weather condi-
tons are such that the blight is Sc
we're, spraying does not control it sutfi-
GENTLY to give an appreciable increase
in the yield, and that in seasons when
the attack is light the increase in the
yield from spraying is not sufficient
to cover the added cost. In one block
where small test plots sprayed with
standard bordeaux mixture were in
terspersed with untreated check
plots, the average yield on II of the
former was at the rate of 1872 BUSH
els per acre, while that on an equal
number of untreated plots was at the
rate of 1875 bushels per acre. This
was an increase of 37.7 bushels per
acre. or more than &c per cent in
favor of bordeaux mixture.
In another similar block the aver
-sa1l st Mo N
bordeaux mixture was at the rate of
nearly 237 bushels per acre, while that
of the four untreated check plots in
the same block was 174.3 bushels.
The gain here was 62.5 bushels per
acre or about SO per cent due to
spraying. Six applications were made
on all the aforementioned sprayed
plots.
On these experimental plots, spray
ing ought TO have been started ten days
or two weeks sooner, or by the end
of the first week in July. In spite of
this fact, the yields given above indi.
cate quite plainly that spraying paid.
Moreover, many persons who saw the
plots during the latter part of the sea-
son have testified TO the striking diff
ferences on sprayed and unsprayed
portions. On all the treated plots, the
spraying was done with a traction
sprayer which maintained a good
working pressure OF at least $50 pounds
per square inch.
Adjoining one of the experimental
blocks was field where spraying was
begun earlier and eight or nine appli-
cations were made. 1t was planted
with the same lot of the same variety
of seed, fertilized the same, and, ex-
cept for spraying. received similar
treatment in every respect. The yield
on the portion of this field immediate
" adjoining one OF the unsprayed
check Ilots was 267.3 bushels per acre.

WOMEN SUFFERERS MAY
need SWAMP ROOT

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney and bladder trouble and
never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..

Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1918-07-02

Comparing this with the averages of
the unsprayed check plots mentioned
above, shows a gain of 1888 and 93
bushels per acre, respectively, or over
Sc and 53 per cent. In none of the
above figures is any account made of
the extra loss resulting from tuber
rot in storage in the crop produced
on the nnsprayed plots.
Nineteen hundred and seventeen
was one of the worst blight years in
the history of Aroostook potato grow
ing. The results cited above show
conclusively that, even under the con-
ditions that existed, late blight can be
controlled by grower who sets out
to do the job thoroughly. Moreover,
they indicate that it can be done at
fair profit when the cost is considered
in connection with the value of the
increased yield resulting from the
treatment.
These recommendation apply par
ticularly to the potato sections lying
north of line drawn from New York
to Chicago.

Corepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The problem of suppressing weeds
is many-sided one and an important
part of the management of the farm.
Successful crop management includes
successful weed management.
Larger Crops Mean Fewer Weeds.
Generally speaking, the larger the
crops, the fewer the weeds present.
This is especially true with small
grain and hay, since good stands of
these crops will tend to smother out
weeds. Furthermore, pastures that
are given good care by top-dressings
and by not over-grazing always con-
tain fewer weeds and more grass than
those poorly managed.
Special Methods Of Handling Certain
Weeds.
The farmer should know the kind of
weeds which he has to fight, because
In the case of some of them special
methods have been discovered which
greatly reduce the amount Of work
necessary. The United States depart
ment of agriculture has issued bull
letins treating individually number
Of the worst weeds and these publica-
tons may be obtained on request.
Rotations and Weeds.
An important benefit from practic-
ing a rotation is in the control of
weeds. If land is planted to the same
crop year after year, certain weeds
have ample opportunity to make top
growth and mature their seeds, and
these weeds therefore become firmly
established; but if the land is planted
to different crops in succession these
weeds do not have the opportunity to
make nearly as much Roadway. Fur
thermore, adopting a rotation usually
means the growth of grass, clover, or
other forage crops. These crops not
only discourage many kinds of weeds
by their shading effect, but also give

weeds a poor chance to mature seeds,
as they are cut for hay before most
weeds ripen. Again, adopting rota-
ton often means growing cultivated
crops on land where such crops have
not been raised. The value of Guilt
waited crops in cleaning land of weeds
has already been emphasized.
Demonstrations of the value of a
rotation in controlling weeds are avail
able in many localities. For example,
in western Kansas wheat is usually
grown continuously, and when this is
the case weeds are very troublesome;
but when rotation, including cul-
tivated crop and a forage crop, is
adopted, the weeds that are so COM
mon under continuous wheat growing
do not have so much chance to make
growth and to, mature their seeds.
Hence, weeds become very much re-
duced. Another example is furnished
in parts of eastern New York, where
it is customary to keep land in mead
ow for many years. These meadows
become foul with orange hawkweed,
ox-eye daisy, wild carrot, and other
weeds. Introducing a cultivated crop
and grain crop soon disposes of most
of these weeds.
Cooperation in Controlling Weeds.
Probably no feature of weed control
is more important than cooperation
among those concerned. Weed con-
tres is a community problem rather
than one for the individual farmer 70
solve, and without the cooperation of
his neighbors the results of the in
dividual farmers efforts are more or
less discouraging, because where
weeds are allowed to grow undis-
turbed they produce sufficient seeds
to infest the adjacent lands. The nee
essary cooperation might be arranged
through agricultural clubs and other
farm Organiza ions.
