Controlling Insect Enemies of
Potatoes.
There are, roughly, four cozatrol-
lable factors governing the yield of
potatoes, namely, fertilizer, cultiva-
tion, seed and spraying. Many grow-
ers obtain the best seed available and
fertilize and cultivate in the best pos-
sible manner, and get neglect the
spraying, which is most important of
.all, Experiments denionst ete beyond
a doubt that $12 spent in spraying is
worth twice as much as a tort of
4-8-10 fertilizer in increasing the yield
of potatoes.
According to experiments held last
year at the Annapolis Royal, Nova
Scotia, Station, around one hundred
bushels per acre increase was obtain-
ed front the use of $40 worth of fertile
izar, or the increased crop resulting
from the rise of fertilizer cost forty
cents per bushel. The increase in crop
due to spraying ran over two hundred
bushels per acre and cost less than
$14, or an increased crop due to spray-
ing cost around seven coats per bush-
el on the ;acre plots.
Tho unsprayed field gave 221 bush-
els per acre and the sprayed 868. A
difference due to spraying. of 177
bushels, or the increased crop was ob-
tained at a cost of 'less than, nine cents
per bushel. Although there are some
in the modern farm ranks wlie de-
cry the value of fertilizer in boosting
potatoes alo;ig, we do not need to
take that position exactly, but rather
to appreciate the fact that the spray
is more valuable than the fertilizer,
the latter being, however; u.eful in its
place.
ttie may believe in the use of plenty
o' high-grade fertilizer. but let us
not fail to emphasize the value of
spraying, which costs less than one-
fifth as much per acre as fertilizer and
gives twice as great rename or is ten
times .'aa valuable, considering the
mature of money invented by the
grower. The results mentioned were-

Bordeaux mixture is, of course, the
spray for 'the potato. During the past
few yetra many growers have found it
advisable to increase the strength of
the mixture as the season advances.

Later ;;prays, 6-6-40. The spraying
should start when the plants aro six
inches high in order to control the
potato beetles and bliight.

The great saving, however, that re-
sults from its use makes it worth
wards+ i'ur all potato growers to learn
how to use it. The cost is about ones
fifth that of other poisons or, to put
it another way, one can make a white
arsende. Bordeaux and the total cost
of the white arsenic, bluestone and
line, will be approximately that of
Paris green or lead arsenate. In ad-
