Late Blight.
Late blight is one of the most
serious potato diseases. Its dam
age in Illinois is greatest in the
northern half of the state. 1t rare
ly attacks plants before they are
eight or ten inches high. The first
symptom of the disease is a brown

margins Of the lower leaves. If
the weather is dry and cool, the
development Of the disease is slow
and the leaves gradually shrfvel
and curl. Under warm, moist con-
ditfons it spreads rapidly over the
entire leaf in from one to four
days and is accompanied by an
offensive odor. On the under side
of the leaves a downy growth
often appears. The disease on the
tubers appears as spots in areas
of irregular size and shape, but
usually not more than one-eighth
of an inch in depth. At digging
time, If the soil is wet, secondary
infection by soil fungi and bac-
terra may cause a wet rot of the
tubers.
Control Measures.
These diseases can all be con-

POTATO CROP
is THREATENED
WITH DISEASES
Instructions Issued By County
Agent on How Best to Employ
Preventative Measures.

The potato crop in Rock Island
county is suffering from blight and
other diseases, as is common in
many other sections. The most
common Of the diseases is the ear
ly blight, the late blight, and tip
burn. If potatoes are to be grown
profitabIy steps must be taken to
fight the diseases, as wen as the
ever-present potato bug.
The following Instructions have
been issued TO the farmers by
County Agent Palmer r. Edgerton
Tip Burn.
Tip burn is caused by too rapid
loss of water from the leaves and
results in the collapse and death
of the marginal cells of the leaf
Under conditions of extreme heat
and a dry atmosphere the foliage
moisture is carried of faster than
it can be replaced by the root sys-
TEN and tip burn results. That
this injury is thus brought on is
evidenced by the fact that plants
shaded by a tree are less affected.
In this case the average soil moist
ure supply is less than in the open,
but the foliage is protected from
excessive Transportation by sun and
wind.
The first Indication of tip burn
injury are a whiting of the foliage
and an upward rolling of the
leaves. Later the margin and tips
show a withered appearance and
begin to dry up, finally becoming
brown, giving the typical burn
appearance. 1t is not fungus
trouble and is wholly physiological
in character.
Early Blight.
Early blight is a fungus spot
disease which may attack both liv-
ing and dead tissue. When it works
on living leaves it is called a para
site and when on dead tissue it is
said to be a saprophyte.
Under corn belt conditions, ear
ly blight usually makes it's first
appearance as a saprophyte follow
ing tip burn injury. Early on a
dewy morning, or following a
shower in a cool spell, a brown
mould may be observed or the dead
tissue. This represents the sum-
mer fruiting spores Of the sapro-
phytic form.
Under favorable conditions the
parasitic form of early blight in
vades the live tissue, causing the
appearance Of dark brown. irreg-
uIar spots, with characteristic, ir-
regular ridged lines, concentricaliy
arranged. AS these spots become
enlarged they unite, forming larg-
er areas until a considerable pro-

THE STATE CAN HAVE 5000 900

The Times has always favored the
strictest economy in public expendi-
lures. It would eliminate all useless
sinecures, OF which we have TO
many, and limit the necessary ex-
penses of the state by the strictest
economy However, there are oc-
casions when seeming economy
may be Elusive, and the present year
seems to be one of them. The fed
eral government has offered the
state 100000 for the building Of
good roads upon the single condition
that the state matches the appropria,
ton dollar for dollar. It must aot
all be raised in a single year, but the
time is extended to 1921, and permits
sion is given to apply the labor CT
the ccnvicts in the building of the
roads. Briefly stated we shall get
$6,O00,00O worth OF roads by the ex.
penditure of less than $3,000,0O0 in
cash. 1t would be hard to compute
the addition that would be made 20
the taxable values of the state by
the building of $6,OOO,OOO worth of
good roads. An addition Of two mills
to the state millage would take care
of the amount needed for the present
year. This would seem to be a
economy would dictate the experdi-
ture. Here in Hillsborough we have
pretty well solved the good roads
problem, and the extra two mills
would cost US some $4,000 mostly
for the direct benefit of other com,
ties, but the interest of the state
is the interest of all. We believe if
the people of Florida fully under
stond the situation they will approve
the project.-Tampa Times.

THE Correct WAY

To our mind, it Is not compatible
with morality that the present move
ment for the correction of social dis,
ease should be so crudely aired IN
the public press. 1t is a subject that
needs the most careful direction in
its presentation. To preach IL
through the press seems to us to he
equivalent to hurting a bundle OF
barbed arrows into the air. Until we
are convinced otherwise the columns
OF the Commercial will remain closed
to the stuff that is being sent us from
several sources. Following the hell
wether is not our long suit, anyway.
and certainly we may ask to be ad.
vised of the psychology of the pub,
licity end of that work before we
throw our columns open to a publicity
that fairly reeks with danger unless
it is more intelligently directed than
appears on the surface.-Leesburg
