Warning to Potato Growers

Warning to Potato Growers
A warning to potato growers of
Hartford county against late blight
and aphis was issued yesterday by
charles D. Lewis, country agricul-
tural agent for the Hartford County
Farm bureau.
Late blight is particularly preva-
lent this year because the frequent
rains and rapid growth of the
plants has caused considerable diff
ficulty in keeping the leaves Of the
plants covered. Mr.. Lewis says that
the application of Bordeaux spray
or dust to the under side of the Leaf
at frequent intervals is the only
known means of controlling the
blight.
Weather conditions have been
very favorable to aphis this year.
according to Mr.. Lewis. He says
that the lice may be destroyed with
nicotine spray or dust providing 1t
comes in direct contact with the in
sect and he advises that it be added
to the Bordeaux spray Immediately
upon the appearance of the aphis.
Mr.. Lewis says that the potato
acreage in Hartford county has
been somewhat increased during the
past year and that the prospects for
high yield are splendid providing
disease and inspects are controlled.
