Friday, March 29, 1940------POTATO CROP DANGER SEEN FROMBLIGHT Spraying, Dusting Urged For Growers potato have been lucky that late blight not occurred as yet, but they should be careful, taking precautionary measures to protect the crop that is about to be dug. said Dr George H. Godfrey, plant pathologist with the Valley Experiment Station. All potato fields should be sprav- ed or dusted with one of the standard fungicides as soon as pos- fible. Dr, Godfrey advised.

The large angular spots on leaves and even the tip blight found following the March rains are not true blight, like the one that caused much loss two years ago, he said. This condition is not infectious and will not spread from plant to plant all over the field. Conditions Favorable Present weather conditions arc highly favorable for true blight, however, and if there was any survival of the causative fungus during the long dry period that followed planting, that disease may get started. If it does and if the cool, moist weather conditions continue, it may yet do a lot of damage. Then, there is that other completely different disease know'n variously as early blight.

blight, or black spot, which becomes destructive during warm 4 humid weather. As soon as it becomes warm, with all the moisture now present in the soil, conditions will be ideal for it. potato crop is nearly made; yet, the last few weeks are the important ones for large yield production. It IS during this period that new tuber growtn is most Godfrey said. extra growing days at the end of the season may increase the yield by 15 to 25 per acre.

With the 0 present prospect for a good price, that extra yield is well worth working for. One way to do it is to do everything that is possible to keep the plants in a healthy, growing condition until it time to harvest. Excess Time Warned is where the fungicidal eopper ind dusts enter into the picture. For many years, the standard blight control materials have been straight Bordeaux 4-4-50 or 5-5-50 sprays, or copper-lime dusts. In a blight year, they always bring about strikingly increased yields over non-sprayed or dusted areas simply because they are efficient fungicides.

In recent years, however, in various parts of the country and even in the Rio Grande Valley, it has been shown that in non-blight years, the and copper-limes actually reduce yields because of ex- lime, which retards plant gmwih. There has been a general tendency, therefore, toward the substitution of the new'er so-called for the old Bordeaux sprays and dusts. These likewise give excellent disease control, and at the same time do not retard plant growth. Red copper oxide (cuprous oxide) is available at the various dealers in the Valley, both in sprays and in dust form, and is highly recommended. Formula Is Given spray calls for three pounds of the red copper oxide to gallons of water.

This should be applied under 400 pounds pressure at tne rate of about 150 gallons per acre. For the dust, six pounds of the dust form are mixed with about ten of a cheap grade white flour and 84 of a very fine calcium carbonate inert carrier to make 100 pounds of dust, which should be applied at tiie rate of about 25 pounds per acre. A thorough protective covering of either of these fungicides, the spray or the dust, made now will go a long way insuring the best yield a potato field is capable of producing. insects, such as thrips or psyllias, are an additional factor which may make for reduced yiela, the inclusion of appropriate insecticides in with the fungicide will make it possible to combat both th-i fungus diseases and the insects ii the same operation. In many fields, if large enough to justify it, plane dusting is the answer.

Shary, Valley developer, will play leading roles in a dramatic episode Friday at 2 p.m. when ceremonies will mark the first actual step in the construction of $95.000 post office building allotted almost two years ago, Shary will be master of ceremonies when ground breaking ceremonies will be held at the building site, on Tenth and Dougherty Streets.

West whose aid and interest was a major factor in securing the allotment wdll be the principal speaker. Civic leaders and others prominent in the construction activity will be introduced by Mr. Shary, including James A. Barksdale, construction engineer for the Public Buildings Administration of the Federal Works Agency; Oscar Quisle, Foit Worth, of the firm of Quisle and Andrews, contractors for the construction; Frank Miller, construction superintendent; Miss Myrtle Hatch, postmaster; and Mayor Logan Duncan who wnll turn the first shovelful of dirt as the climax of the ceremonies. The Mission High School Band, directed by Phil Shrader, will open the program.

For this Pavlov became world famous, since the mouth-watering at a sound gave scientists their first direct method of investigating mysteries of mental control over the body. At The Bell Variations of the conditioned reflex were tried, and the experiments were conducted on different animals. All worked the same, until the reflex became a scientific standard. Under the Pavlov technique, the animals w'ere usually confined to one place.

Dr. Zener changed this technique by giving his dogs as much freedom of movement as possible. The animals in a sense became cooperators.
