HUMID WEATHER CAUSES BLIGHT
Prevalence of Mildew on Plants Explained By
 U. of C. Expert

Mildew, more commonly known as blight, has become a threat to Con- necticut'S tomato, potato, cucumber and melon crops, A. E. Wilkinson, vegetable specialist of the Agricul- tural Extension Service, University of Connecticut, said today.
 The several recent days of cloudy, humid weather have provided ex- cellent conditions for the develop ment of the disease, already present in potato fields, Professor Wilkin- son added, and it will increase If the humid weather conditions continue.
 Aiding its development in many fields is the heavy growth of foliage that flinders air circulation around the plants, thus providing the quiet, moist condition needed for the de- velopment of the disease spores.
 For the control of blight on po- tatoes Professor Wilkinson recom- mends the use of Bordeaux mixture either as spray or dust. Since tom- atoeS, cucumberS, and melons are somewhat injured by Bordeaux they should be protected with either copper oxychloride sulphate spray or tri-basic copper sulphat dust.
 Commercial growers can make the spray by using two pounds o1 copper oxychloride sulphate, three pounds of wheat of soybean flour and fifty gallons of water. If pre- ferred, spray consisting of one pound of yellow copper oxide mixed with fifty gallons of water can bt used. The dust is a mixture oi fourteen pounds of tri-basic copper sulphate No. 56, ten pounds of flour and 76 pounds of oxychloride sul- phate, ten pounds of flour, and 7t pounds Of tale. Either dust mix. ture is used at the rate of thirty pounds per acre. .
 Home gardeners will find it more convenient to obtain the bordeau, mixture or the other spray or dust! already prepared at their local gar. den supply store. They are advised to carefully follow the. directions or the package.
 The most important factor in pro tecting these vegetable crops iron blight, says Prof. Wilkinson, is t, keep the plants covered with tn, i spray or dust during the growing season, and especially during per. iods of hot, muggy weather.

 Plainville, Conn, July 19-(UP)- The mighty air-sea blows now rain- ing on Japan are preliminary jobs compared with the American hay maker' in store for the enemy homeland, United Press Cores pondent Ernest Barcella declared last night.
 Barcella, former Connecticut newspaperman who recently coIn- pleted a 3O,000 mile tour of the Pacific war theaters, told the Lions club here that the magnitude of American power assembled in the Pacific challenges the imagination. But he warned against assuming that the enemy is push-over.
 He suggested that the Japanese military leaders may attempt one last desperate act of treachery be- fore he American knockout blow comes.
 Barcella, a member of the UP Washington staff, said that author ities on Japan do not discount the possibility that the Japanese peo- pie may rise up in mighty re- volt against their military leaders who have misled them into the worst disaster in the empires his tory.
 He said, however, that the US. military men were not depending upon such a revolution in planning the final blows against Japan. l. He described hardships en- dured by American G.I.'s in the Pacific, gave assurance that Amer ican fighting men are receiving the finest medical care in the world and emphasized the import ance of mail to the soldiers.
