O'itr` Agricultural experimental
stations are tieing a grand work fol'
the world, and more especially for the
farmers, Once in the history of Ireland,
famine resulted from the prevalence
of the potato rot, Such an"ocourrerice
need not again be repeated in any
country of the world, as potatoes may
„pow be almost aa effectively shielded
from the disease known as potato rot
as "from the attacks of the Colorado
beetle. Experiments have been carried
on during recent years at the Vermont
State Experiment Station which prove
conclusively that the disease known as
potato rot may be kept at bay.
It is now known pretty generally
that the dry rot of the tuber and the
blight of the top of the plant are both
caused by a parasitic plant or fungus
called phytopbthora infestans, The
dry rot kills the tuber and the wet rot
follows as a natural result. file growth
of the fungus is apparently dependent
Jo a Considerable extent on the weather.
'It is more freely developed in warm,
moist weather.
The treatment to prevent the rot or
to check it after it has made its ape
pearanee consists of an application
known as the Bordeaux Mixture. It
id made by dissolving in water 6lbs; of
copper sulphate (blue vitriol), and 4
ltes, of fresh lime or 61bs, of aireslaked
limo in water. Six pounds of copper
sulphate in crystals is about 2i qts.,
and when powdered, 2 qts. Four
pounds of lime, iinslaked, and in pieces
the size of a pigeon's egg, make 21 -
qts, and the same amount slaked is
9tival to 3 qts. Dissolve the copper;
sulphate in 8 to 10 gals. of cold water;
or 2 to 3 gals. of hot water. Use a
wooden tub, as • the copper sulphate
injures an iron vessel. After the lime
has been slaked, add water enough to
make' a thin whitewash and strain
through a fine sieve or cheesecloth to
remove all lumps, and then pour slow-
ly jute; the copper solution. Add water
enough to make 22 gals. of the whole
mixtu e•!f to be applied ev'ith a 'spray.
ing pump, or 33 gals. if to be applied
with a watering pot. As the mixture
tends to settle to the bottom; it must
be stirred before using. The use of a•
spraying pump with a good nozzle is
considered preferable to the watering
`stpot in applying the mixture. The
kpsack sprayer is considered suitable
for small plots, but for large fields
those should be used which are drawn
by horse power.
The number of applications will de-
pend .on the season, but in seasons
favorable to the spread of the disease
at least four or five applications will be
required. The first application should
not be later than the blight upon the
leaves. The spraying should be re.
peated every two ;weeks until the plants
are out of danger. Where fears are
entertained of the blight, it.would•be
well to apply the mixture alone/ with
the Paris green application for the
d struction of bsetles. When thug ap-
pTied in an ordinary season no other
application will be necessary;and much
time is saved by accomplishing both
objects at one and the same time.
Enough of the mixture should be ape
plied to moisten the leavas thoroughly.
To do this requires from 40 to 60 gals.
per acre, and the cost of the mixture
• is about 2c. per gal. The bulletin
giving this valuable information was
prepared by Prof. L. R. J`oned, of the
Experimental Station, Burlington,
