LOOK OUT FOR
POTATO BLIGHT
The Best Crop Insurance Is to Spray
With Bordeaux Mixture

II weather favorable to potato
blight is had during August and Sep
tember serious epidemic of blight
can be expected this year. Last year
thousands of dollars were lost by
farmers in upper Wisconsin because of
potatoes rotting in the ground. This
rot was caused by late blight which is
a fungus disease similar to bread mold.
It is common thing to hear someone
say that the rot is caused by too much
rain. TO a certain extent it is, for the
blight hits us hard only in years when
there is an abundance Of cool, wet
weather, because such weather is more
favorable to its growth.
Why can we expect blight this year!
Be ause much Of the seed planted this
spring was infected with blight. If
he seed was kept cool and dry in stOr-
AGE the rot would not develop and
would not show on the seed. Blight
can be expected this year if we con-
tinue to have wet weather. The best
potato crop insurance is to spray with
Bordeaux Mixture.
How to make Bordeaux Mixture:
L. Get three or four 5O-gallOn bar
reIS.
= Make up a stock solution of ten
or fifteen gallons of blue stone or blue
vitriol Use one pound of blue vitriol
for each gallon of water, one gallon
represents one pound.
3. Follow directions for making
stock solution of blue vitriOl using
fresh stone lime instead of the blue
yitriol This gives You two stock sOlu-
tons. one of blue vitriOl. and one of
lime.
t. IN 50-gallOn barrel take 4
gallons of stock solution of the blue
vitriol and add u gallons of water.
). In another barrel take gallons
Of stock solution of the lime and q
gallons of water.
g. In third barrel pour both solu-
tons at the same time Straining them
separately through a cheese cloth. 1t
is now ready to use
This mixture will give you solu-
ton of pounds of blue vitriol. 4
pounds Of lime. to 80 gallons Of water.
If YOU need assistance in making
this. inquire of your county agent.
The first sign of potato blight is a
delicate gray webby growth or mildew
on stems or the mderside of the lower
leaves.

The buildings on this farm are good.
The house is large and the barn is BOX

WILD HORSES ARE NOT
POPULAR IN RUSK co.

Mr.. Il. u. Mark, who had carload
of western horses here to sell at auc-
ton last Thursday, did his own sell
ing. He succeeded in diSposing of two
of the choicest teams of the drove, and
then called the sale off as he was not
getting what he considered fair prices,
The horses were shipped out OF the
city the next day.
Western horses that are not broken
are all right for horSeman to buy and
break, but the farmers here prefer to
have quiet horses that can be turned
out on pasture and be caught again
when needed.
1t takes Il whole season to break a
wild one and the farmers time is too
valuable to use that way. What we
need here is good, sound horses that
are ready and able to do good days
work frem the start.

"Ladysmith, the Buckle on the Glover

In commenting on the method advO-

quack grass, Alfred Haag said that he
had killed a half acre of bad quack by
the same method. Two years ago he
plowed his quack and kept working
on it for about three weeks, not allow
ing any of it to send up leaves. Then
he planted it OF rutabagas and kept
them clean, thus killing the quack
grass entirely in one season, and rails
ing a good crop at the same time.

5000 LAND PRODUCES
$1,000 WORTH OF CROPS

A. III. Plant is dandy when it
comes to gardening. This summer he
picked $3.50 worth of Strawberries from
one-fOurth of an acre of land on his
farm in the west edge of this city. The
question is, Which is the more valu-
able here, the land or the crop grown
on it in one year? The selling value
of this land is now worth around 5000
per acre. yet it is capable of producing
$1,000 worth of crops.

Mr. Juprgens says that protection Of
deer means two things. one is that they
will destroy crops here, the other is
that as the land is cleared up they will
will move north into Canada where
others will have chance to bag them
after we have fed them on choice feeds

is that a bigger per cent of the sales
