POTATO SPRAYING IMPERATIVE

The blight and tip burn are likely
to be very prevalent in view of the
very favorable weather conditions
such as hot weather, bright sun al
ternately with showers and high
humidity. 1t may not be generally
known that the rotting of potatoes in
storage is more or less closely con-
nected with the presence of blight in
potato fields, but such is the case.
Potato growers who wish to prevent
their "spuds" from rotting next fall
should keep careful watch of their
plants and spray all new growth with
Bordeaux mixture at frequent inter-
walls.
Spraying at this late date may not
avail a great deal unless the fields
have been sprayed heretofore, and
still it may prevent or hinder a gen.
eral epidemic. The new growth, not
present when the last spraying was
made, may be susceptible to blight
and likewise to tip burn. Bordeaux
mixture is the panacea. Machines
which carry two nozzles to each row,
so adjusted to drive forcibly the
spray as a fine mist down into the
mass of foliage, is what is required
to satisfactorily protect the plants.
Experience shows that thorough and
frequent Spraying of this sort is good
insurance against dreaded rot next
fall
