TREAT POTATO VINES EARLY

BOrdeau mixture should be used to
to eight inches high TO prevent early
blight. This disease shows up as
black spots on the leaves, and later
enlarges by marked %concentric rings.
The leaves finally yellow and die.
Blight is present in the country and
now is a good time to prevent it
spreading. The spraying with Bor-
deau mixture also offers a protection
against hea-beetles, grasshoppers, top
burn, and many small insects that de-
stroy the leaves.
Bordeau mixture can be purchased
already prepared and is the most con.
v|enient form. 1t is made by dissolv-
ing five pounds Of copper sulphate in
25 gallons of water, and Stacking five
pounds Of lime in 25 gallons of water.
Then the two mixtures are poured to-
gether in a third vessel.
Just as soon as potato beetles APP
pear spray the potato vines with an
arsenic compound. Arsenate Of lead
has the following advantages over
Paris green: 1t is less harmful to
young plants; it sticks to the vines
much better; it stays in solution bet
ter, being frmer; it leaves a white
coating on the leaves and it's pres
ence can be more easily detected. The
spray is made by using two and one
half pounds Of arsenate of lead to so
gallons of water, or one-half to one
pound Of Paris green to so gallons
Of water.
1t is advisable to use Bordeaux mix
ture and a~rSenate of lead or Paris
green for the second spray. A spray
ing calendar to follow would be as
follows:
Bordeau when plants are six inches
high. Bordeau and arsenate of lead
ten days later. Arsenate of lead ten
days later. Other sprays as needed
to control the potato-beetles.
The Brookings County Potato asso-
citation and the County Farm Bureau
desire to be Of assistance to potato
growers in every way possible in sup
plying information or advice in con.
trolling these diseases and insects.
