If potato growers could only be lets to realise that late potato blight or rot eaenot bemired, but can bo pre- vented, they would ler Bordeaux mi'- turo more freely (lulu: they do. It its quite true that the late blight le not lee annual visitor, nevertheless no ono can prophesy when it will put 111 nn Unwelcome appearance. After it Makes Its pretence visible by the leaves turning brown and drying up it la too late to save the crop, for fungtoldea are only proventives, and not remodles. it does little it tiny good to apply them niter the disease apped{+s, sed the spraying must be done before It can be known whetter or not an outbrattk will occur. Thus It is that if the blight does not ap- pear the stoney spent In eprnying ap- pears to have been thrown away. Experiments not only in Canada but in the United States have demon - grated that t Spraying is Profitable whether the late blight prevail or not. The early blight le almost cer- tain to appear, unless prevented, and Its damage, not so noticeable In any one Seaso), as that of the late blight, yet fully ne great In the aggregate, may be almost wholly avoided by spraying. This disease causes the brown deed spots on the leaves, which are marked by concentric rings, and whteh sometimes affect so much of the leaf surface that the nutrition of the plant Is eterlounly checked. For this disease, as, for the late blight, Bordeaux mteture is nn most perfect preventive. Its pro- tective power would probably be complete could each teat be entire- ly coated with a thin layer of the deposited lime and copper sulphate, because the Spores of the disease Could then not find a ny tutner- able point. The nearer 111118 (tem- plate coating le obtnlned the more perfect will be the protection, and 1t can only he secured by spraying carefully with n fine nozzle. The Mixture. Used.
