Dampness Brings
Potato Blight
Threat in County
By william Murphy
County Agricultural Agent

BY william Murphy
County Agricultural Agent
PROTECT POTATOES
Chances OF late blight attack
ing potatoes in Michigan this
fall have been increased by damp
weather.
Late blight can be identified
by greasy water-soaked spots on
the leaves. If the weather Is cool
and moist, the leaves soon decay.
Use of bordeaux spray should
be continued until digging time.
If the field has even a light in
lection, the potatoes should not
be dug until the vines are COM
pletely dead.
If the leaves and stems Of the
plants are still green, the blight
may cause the potatoes to rot In
storage. 1t is much safer to de-
lay digging week or more after
the vines are dead, but the delay
should not be long enough to
permit the potatoes to become
frosted or chilled in the ground.
MILK TESTS
Dairy farmers many times be-
come puzzled and concerned at
the variation of their milk fat
tests. County Agriculture |
Agent, William Murphy says
that the dairy department at
Michigan State college has given
this matter considerable study,
and finds that many factors az
feet tests.
Some of the most common
reasons are the breed Of cow,
condition of the cow at calving,
stage of lactation. season of the
year, thoroughness of milking,
speed of milking, interval be-
tween milkings, age of animal,
feed, weather, and amount of
exercise. Any one Of these can
cause q higher or lower test.
