Growers Advised
To Spray For Control
Of Late Blight

With the wet weather of the
past few weeks, late blight has
made its appearance in potato
fields of the state, especially in
the western part, and growers are
urged by DR.. Robert A. Jehle,
plant pathologist for the Exten-
sion Service, to dust or spray as
frequently as possible while the
damp weather continues. DR..
Jehle says that the disease has
severely injured many fields which
have not been thoroughly busted
or sprayed. If the weather be-
comes dry, spraying or busting
at one or two-week intervals will
be sufficient but the frequency of
application should be gagged by
the growth of the plants and
presence of insects and diseases.
Best results in control have
been obtained by spraying with
instant Bordeaux mixture. To
make this spray, fill the sprayer
half full of water, place pulver-
lied bluestone on the screen and
wash into the tank. Add water
until the tank is about y full
then place the hydrated lime on
the screen and wash into the
tank. Fill the tank with water
and use the spray at once. Keep
the agitator going throughout the
entire mixing process.
AS spraying has given best
results in the control of late
blight IN Maryland busting is
only recommended in fields where
conditions make spraying impos-
sible. If dust is used in place
of spray dust containing ap-
proximately 20 percent mono
hydrated copper sulphate, 20 per-
cent calcium arsenate, and go per-
cent hydrated lime should be used.
The University of Maryland in
cooperation with the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture has de-
veloped several new varieties Of
potatoes which have yielded just
as successfully or better than the
rural varieties in experiments
conducted in Garrett county. Al
though resistant to the late blight
it will be necessary to spray or
dust for the control of other dis
eases and insects. However, the
number of applications made dur
ing the season can be materially
reduced, especially in seasons
which are favorable for late
blight development.

CCC Conquers
7O-Year Blaze
Millions of Tons of Coal
Saved in the Shallow
Wyoming Deposits.

GILLETTE, WYO. - Wyoming
CCC companies fighting series OF
coal blazes which have burned I'M
checked for at least 10 years are
nearing success in their six-year-old
battle in the Little Thunder basin
near Gillette.
The enrollees, who have con-
trolled many Of the small fires that
experts estimate have destroyed
millions of tons of Wyoming coal.
have been at their task since the
corps was formed in 1888. Although
the area affected by the flames in
wolves only minute portion Of the
states 500. 0Oo, 900, 600 tons Of coal
supply. officials said they hoped to
extinguish all the fires because the
near-surface location Of the deposits
makes them of great economic
value.
Source Still Mystery.
Source Of the underground blazes
remains n mystery. Officials esti-
mate that they were started in
early settlement days, probably by
a prairie fire or from bolt Of light
ming. Until 1888 no effort was made
to check the loss Of hundreds Of
thousands Of dollars worth of coal
because Of the states unlimited sup
ply.
Most coal fires are fought with
water, but these jobs called for diff
ferent tactics. r. L. Airport, dis
trict mining supervisor Of Billings,
Mont, was named technical adviser
when the work was begun in 1888.
I'VE learned" he explained, "that
strangely enough-whenever rain
or surface water seeped into the
burning veins, explosions opened
new fuel for the flames.
Therefore, water as an extin-
guisher was useless unless we could
obtain sufficient quantities to drown
the entire area and keep it in that
condition for long time. This
was impossible because the water
supply virtually was nonexistent.
Dirt Chokes Of Air.
Seasoned coal field workers con-
ferred with Airport. Finally they
decided upon a smothering and COW
ering process as best suited to their
needs. All cracks and assures in
the shallow mines were filed care
fully to prevent air from reaching
the blazes. Fine dirt then was dis
tributed with two half-yard excava-
tors, aided by tractors, bulldozers
and road rippers.
The method proved q slow but
sure success. Now, almost six years
after start Of the program, ALI
port admits that his assistants have
made definite progress. How long il
viii take to subdue completely the
numerous fires in this region, how
ever, he refused to say.
Airport explained that as the work
Is very dangerous, enrollees are
trained for several weeks before be-
ing allowed on the scene. Seasoned
miners from Wyoming fields SUI
pervise the work.
Despite the danger, he said, no
member Of the various crews has
been injured. Proper preventive
measures and careful training es-
tablished the safety record, Airport
said.
