Late Potato Blight
Is Serious Menace
Disease Can Be Controlled
by Bordeaux Spray.

iate blight of potatoes is propabl,
one OF the most destructive of all Do
'a'o diseases and is particularly dam
serous IN wet season such as this,
warns William ii. Martin, plant
pathoiogist at the New Jersey aRri.
cultural experiment station.
fortunately. potato growers now
nave n means of defense against this
trouble. Spraying experiments con-
uuc'"d by the experiment station have
demonstrated conclusively that late
DHght can be controlled b, spraying
with bordeaux mixture. These tests
nave shown also that even in the alb.
sence of late blight, spraying will re-
turn a profit.
Best results have followed the use
OF homemade bordeaux mixture of the
o-o-oO formula that is pounds of cop
per sulphate and pounds of lime in
oo gallons of water. This material
should be applied Immediately at ap-
proxlinately ten-day intervals. In or
der to insure success, the vines should
be thoroughly covered with a protec.
i've fiim of the spray mixture.
In 1920 the losses from late blight
In New York amounted to approximate.
ly $5,0oO,0OO. In 1918 the disease was
severe in New Jersey in Monmouth,
Mercer. and Middlesex counties. In
1919 1t was present, but not severe, and
in 1920 and 1922 1t was again very
severe in central New Jersey. In 1928
due to the very dry season, late blight
was not present. Under wet cOndi.
tions an entire field may be Killed in
few days unless measures are taxi
to prevent the spread of the trouble
1t Is important that the potato growers
be prepared to prevent the losses that
are certain to result If this disease
does become epidemic.

the farms no infection was found
among the cattle. On Is farms bo-
vine infection had not appeared since
1921. on the remaining farms no cat
lie were kept. Going still further into
the investigation, tuberculin tests were
applied to - lots of chickens contain
ing 75 head. Twelve of the Il lots
contained reactors. Tests were also
applied to the swine on those farms
with the result that II and fraction
per cent of swine infection was ind-
rnted This figure checked rather
closely to the percentage, l6.S per
cent. as reported through post-mortem
Inspection by the inspector at the pack
ing plant In the absence of bovine
tuberculosis on the farms where the
hogs originated, the tests incriminated
tuberculous fowls as the probable
source OF infection.
The department cautions live stock
owners against needless exposure of
swine to tuberculous cattle and poultry
and urges the eradication of infection
in poultry by disposing of the older
fowls especially and cleaning and dis
injecting the premises.

Cutting Sudan Grass at
Most Profitable Time

The most profitable time to cut
sudan grass is between the time 1t
begins to head until 1t is fully headed
out. There is little loss, however
when the grass is allowed to grow
until the seed has reached the soft
dough stage, only one cutting being
then required to harvest the crop and
obtain the maximum yield of forage.
When cut earlier more than one cut
ting may be obtained but the yield
per cutting will not be so large. There
are few grasses that are injured so
little by standing beyond the proper
stage of maturity as sudan grass. This
is due to the numerous tillers, which,
arising from the base, mature success
sively and provide immature stalks
throughout the season.
