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

When potato vines break through the
ground and reach a height of five or
six inches the flea beetles appear by
the millions. They riddle the leaves,
"shOot them full of holes" and so
weaken the plants that they fall an
easy victim to early blight. The beetle
can be controlled and at the same Op-
GRAFTON early blight can be prevented.
Early spraying, however, is necessary,
for spraying is a preventive rather
than a cure.
It 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 it may, a
combined spray. containing some poi
son for those Of the flea beetles that
stay, and a 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 Gov
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 It and thought II was extra
early ripening.
This blight usually comes shortly
after the potato is set, and when the
growing tubers cause a great strain on
the plant. Small brown spots appear
on the leaf; these later run together
the whole leaf turns yellow or brown,
and the plant dies. The crop is cut
from 10 to 25 per cent, and the result

Man Hours Per Acre.

The average yield of the farms stud
led was about 1O3 bushels per acre, so
that every hour a man put in in raising
potatoes brought back a shade more
than one and one-half bushels Of pO-
tatOes.
This production per hour can be in
creased in several ways. Fertilizer
can be used to increase the yields. II
will do this without a particle Of ex-
ira labor until it comes TO harvesting.
Even then it takes little more time
to pick up 2OO-bushel crop than to
harvest a crop producing only 100
bushels per acre.
A poison spray may be used 10 kin
the Colorado beetle. This adds but
slightly to the labor cost of growing
the crop, but very greatly to the size
Of the crop.
Instead Of the poison spray a COM
plete spray or combined insecticide
and fungicide may be used to protect
the crop against bugs, beetles and
blights, and to insure the potato grow
er against the loss Of the time and the
money which he puts into the crop.
Finally, as fully as important as any
Of the foregoing, the grower may make
use Of better bred seed which will,
with a given amount Of labor, produce
more potatoes by far than the mongrel
stock so often planted.

SAVE THE LABOR IN GROWING
POTATOES.

There are but two ways Of saving
human labor in growing potatoes; one
is to use more horses per plOw, 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.

took about 50 hours Of human labor
