HANDLING FARM MANURE.

Farm manure should be handled with great care. It should never be left in the open yard, or piled in the field for any length of time. as much of it's pant food will be leached out. Neither should it be stored loose under sheds, but it should be packed down and kept wet enough to pre- vent heating, which would drive off nitrogen. The tremendous loss from imporsr handling explans why farmers find it necessary to. use such large quantities of manure to derive much benefit from it. It will be ob- served that even wesn manure is stored in a shed there is loss. By covering the manure heap with sub stances like ordinary loam, sawdust or wheat straw, much loss may be prevented and the stack of manure greatly increased. Loam will absorb about 13 pounds of nitrogren per ton of 1000 pounds, sawduse about eight pounds and wheat straw nearly four pounds.

POTATO BLIGHT MAY BE
 CONTROLLED BY SPRAYING
By P. C.. HOLDE

At my request Harold E. Hurley of the U. $. Bureau of Plant Industry prepared the following. which will en- able the farmer and potato grower to easily recognize and control potato blight:
 Early blight attacks only the leaves and stems of the potato plant. The blight appears in the form of dark brown or black areas upon the leaves or tender stems. Those areas usually show a series of concentric ridges which give the effect of a target, and early blight Is often known as target spot" Under favorable conditions of moisture and temperature the spots rapidly increase in number until only few leaves are left on the plant. T Late blight develops after the blos- som period snd does it's greatest dan- age toward the end of the growing season. The disease may appear on any part of the leaf. but the spots generally show first near the tip or
Norwich bulletin., 1919-06-18

margin. The spots are black in color and are hofdered by a narrow region Of light green which has a waterv appearance. Under moist conditions the disease spreads until the entire foliage becomes a moist putrid mass,
 The blighting of the foliage is fol- lowed by a rotting of the tubers ow- ing to the fact that the spores are washed from the foliage down into the soil. The disease overwinters on the tubers and affected tubers should not be used for seed On cutting an affected tuber in two the blight ap- pears as a light brown rotten area extending from one sixteenth to an inch inward
 The two diseases can be controlled by spraying the plants with bordeaux mixture, of the 4-4-5o formula. Three pounds of arsenate of lead should be added to every 50 gallons of bordeaux ln order to control the potato beetle.
 Spraying should begin when the plants are eight inches high and ap- pHcations made every two weeks. The spray may be applied with a hand sprayer or horse drawn trac- tion sprayer.

 tunately cold rains kill millions of these insects. although the elements can never be counted upon for their entire control.
 Control measures suggested by Prof, G. H. Lamson of the department of entomology at Connecticut Agricul- tural college at Storrs are:
 Examine the plants carefully from time to time, especially carly in July, and if aphids are present spray thor oughly the infested sections of the field with nicotine solution. using two teaspoonfuls in a gallon of water If the colonies be eradicated before the pest has spread over the whole field. it will not be necessary to spray all of the plants. As this treatment will kill only such aphids as are hit by the spray. great thoroughness is essential. As many of the aphids are on the un- der sides of the leaves, the spray should be directed from underneath upwards agains tthe plants from each side of the row. By emitting the soap nicotine solution may be combined with lead arsenate or Bordeaux mix ture or both to save an extra spraying

ALFALFA NEEDS RICH LAND FOR
 GROWTH.

Alfalfa is a rich land crop Much of the difficulty in growing it can be attributed to the low fertility of the soils on which it is being tried A crop that produces three or four. an ~&2casionally five cuttings a year. requires plenty of plant food. The man who wishes to grow alfalfa on medium or poor land cannot expect high yields and in most cases he cannot secure a satisfactory stand without maturing or fertilizHng. In general, barnyard manure is the best fertilizer for this cr$p. Ten to fifteen tons an acre can well be applied if the manure is available. The man beginning alfalfa culture on poor
 iand ,had better limit the amount
 sown so that more manure will be available for use on this land.

CUTTING CONTROLS ALFALFA
 AIlMENT,

Alfalfa yellows ,an ailment which if neglected results in permanent injury 10 alfalfa, can be controlled in only one way. says the United States De- partment or Agriculture-by cutting the crop as soon as the yellows ap- pear. This disease is characterized by yellow discoloration of the leaves, which in some instances assume a copperlille hue. The growth of the plant is checked as soon as the yell lowing attacks the majority of the leaves. The leaves fall off. the growth of the plants is stunted, and unless the disease is checked in time the alfalfa plants frequently are perman- ently injured.
 Ordinarily the yellowing appears on the second or third crop of alfalfa,

RAISING GOOD PORK.

It is not necessary for the farmer who is producing pork for the mar ket to keep a breeding herd of regis tered sows. A heard of high grades will answer the purpose nearly as well. and they can be purchased at a much cheaper rate. The one import ant thing is that the breeder use a pure bred sire. If he must start with 8 herd of inferior sows, bu using a pure bred sire it will only be a ques- ton of two or three years until he will have a herd of good grades.
Norwich bulletin., 1919-06-18

from June 1 to September 1. The cause has not been identified, and no. effective treatment other than immedi- ate cutting of he crop has been found. If the growth is adequate, the hay should be raked, cured, and stored as live stock roughage. If the growth is only enough to provide clippings, the best plan is to let them remain on the ground. In most instances the sub sequent cuttings of alfalfa will show no evidence of yellowing where the crop which was diseased is handled in the oltIined manner.
 All the commercial varieties of alfal- ia adapted to agriculture. throughout the northern two thirds of the Unit ed States are susceptible to alfalfa valjOWS

VALUE OF ROOT CROPS.

The roots and stubble of crops la ways restore something to the soil. With such crops as clover, coWpeas or beans. approximately 30 per cent. of the material value of the crop is kept in the soil. When such crops are harvested for hay and feed to good farm stock. and the manure is return ed to the land, 80 to 90 per cent of the entire fertilizing value is kept on the farm. At the same time the full feed- ing value is obtained.

SELLING WOOL.

Arrangements have been made by the Connecticut Sheep Breeders asso- citation for three big wool sales the latter part of this month. The sales will be at Willimantic, June 23, Mid dletown, June 25, and TorrinSton. June z7.
 The association has taken steps to interest leading wool buyers and eX- poets to obtain for it's members better prices than could be had ie the wool were sold in individual lots on the regula. markets Wool sold at the as Eociatlou sales will be paid for by check on day of delivery.
 The bes, offer received by the asso- citation is from A to 5S cents per pound for one-quarter blood. three eights blood and one-half blood. Black wool, dirty. taggy and very coarse wool will go for less than 4 cents. It is said that about 75 per cent. of the wool clip of the state will sell as one half blood and should bring about IS cents.
 In case of disagreement as to grad Ing. the buyer duotirG the above prices has agreed TO leave decision to A. G. Skinner the sheep specialist of the Connecticut Agricultural college, ex- tension service.
