HOW TO AVOID POTATO ROT.
If potato growers could only be lets

rot eaenot bemired, but can bo pre-
vented, they would ler Bordeaux mi'-

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
