This rot, appears on the tubers ex-
ternally as purplish, and internally
as rtY brown areas, which may
involve part or the -Whole tuber.
Control • of Blight
As to the control of late blight,
the following methods should be
practised*
(1) Plant tinily healthy seed
stock;
• (2) Spray during growing season
with Bordeaubonixture, about 80
gallons' to an acre at 250 pounds
pressure or more, or dust with a
20-80 copper -lime mixture with 20
pounds to the acre at firet appli-
cabled and increasing to 36 pounds
it'S the vines become larger.
(8) Keep the developing tubera
adequately covered with soil;
• (4) If necessary kill thp vines
prior to digging, with a spray con-
taining VA pound of sodium
arsenate to 100 g'allons of water;
(5) Do not dig blighted potato
Patches until the vines are dead;
(6)' Do not cover harvested tub-
ers, whether in piles or barrels with
potato foliage;
(7). If possible, let harvested tub-
ers dry off, and discard blighted
• ones befere piecing, the crop in
winter storage.
• Early blight is eontrolled by spray -
frig with Bordeaux mixture, the same
as for late blight.

Blight
Many people confuse the_leaf hop-
per damage -with early or late blight.
• The blights are caused by fangi.
The early blight by Alternaria
whieh survives the winter in the soil
or• in potato stance. The disease an -
nears • on the foliage as drjr dark
brown to black circular or oval spots,
• irregularly distributed over the leaf
• surface and marked by target -like
rings or ridges. This last named
• feature readily distinguishes the
disease from late blight. Early blight
is also known to attack the tubers,
areas of which appear purplish brown
• sunken circular to oval, varying in
diameter from 34 to % inch. These
lesions are .surrounded by a thin rais-
ed border. '
• The late blight is so-called because
it usually appears later in the season
than early blight. The fungus cans.,
Mg this disease, Phytophthora infes
tans, is spread by wind, rains,and
machinery. The disease appears
principally on the leaves and occasion-
ally on the stems as irregular, water.
soaked areas, surrounded by a yellow
edging or margin. Later the spots
turn brown and may rause a rapid
decay of the entire foliage. Prolong-
ed periods of worm moist weather
favour the development of the dis-
ease. There shouldn't be ntuch late
blight hi evidence this year owing to
a period of hot day weather during
the growing season. Rain weshes the
fnngus off the affected tops; it thus
rotation.
Much more could be said regarding
potato culture and disdases, but I
have touched on the main insect pests
and potato diseases • confronting the
growers in recent years. If more
information on this subject is requir-
ed, enquire at the Departnient of Ag-
rieulture, Clinton. We have many
bulletins and they are for your use."
Weed Spraying , on Roads
Subject of 'Experiment
Under 'the auspices of Huron
County Office, Ontario Depart-
ment of Agriculture,- a demon-
stration of roadside weed spray- '
ing• took place on a section of Hay
Township road, southwest of Hen-
sall this week. •
R. S. Murphy, Provincial Weed .
Inspector, Crops., Seeds and
Weeds Branch, was on hand with
a spraying machine. County
Weed Inspector William Dougall,
Reeve William Haugh, Hay Town»
ship, members of his Council and
• local weed inspectors, were in at-
tendance.
Five different types of sprays
were used, utilizing the standard
"Stephen" weed killer (one-half
solium chlorate and one-half am-
monium sulphate), en one section,.
followed on four sections by 2 -4 -
as prepared by various eoinpanies.
Success of the experiment will
be judged by later observation. ,

Good Range. Saves Feed
This year more than ever before there has been a
tremendous demand for foods of all kinds for
; export to the, starving people of Europe and Asia.
Canada has done her share thr'ough heavy agricul-
tural production and by controlling the domestic use
of her own products.
There has been so much grain exported that our
supplies for feeding purposes are no more than
barely enough to feed the large number of flocks
which we have in Ontario this year.
Here are two ways to save feed—
• (1) Provide your growing chickens
• with good pasture,
(2) Supply your birds with a bal.
anced highly nutritious feed.
