July 18. This year no grower in the northern states should overlook the chance to Increase the potato crop by spraying, which is good insurance against a short crop. Every year the potato yield is reduced by preventable diseases and 'insect pests; yet it may be increased as shown by the fact that sprayed potato crops in Vermont, for example, have produced on the average 105 more bushels to the acre than unsprayed crops over a period of, twenty-one years. Get Insects and Diseases, Too. Bordeaux mixture with lead arsenate added will prevent late blight and get the potato bug, or Colorado beetle, also.

The mixture should be applied every two weeks, though the interval may be longer if the weather is dry and no insects are present. With The approach of the late blight season, after the middle of July, a thorough protective spraying should be given. Cool, wet weather means trouble, according to the United States department of agriculture. Continued shnweri and an average temperature around 73 degrees call for sprays once a week, or even every five days. Kinds of Sprayers.

For home gardens, small hand sprayers will do. For the farm potato patch, where from one-half acre to three acres are grown and where there are orchard trees or small fruits to be sprayed, a barrel spray pump is recommended. This hand pump is mounted on a fifty-gallon barrel and carried on a homo-made, two-wheel cart or in a farm wagon. If a cart is used, the nozzle may be fastened to the back to spray four rows, but to do good work with this as with tho lighter traction sprayers, it Is necessary to go twice over the field, the second time coming back in the opposite direction. More thorough work can be done by hand spraying if the pump is fitted with one or two lines of -inch hose, 25 feet long, ending in a 4-foot, gas-pipe extension.

This requires a man for each line and one to pump. Commercial growers should provide themselves with the most effective traction sprayer they can get. In these the pump is operated by a chain $6.00 garments for $6.50 garments for $7.00 garments for $5.25 $4.00 garments at. $3.00 $4.50 garments at. $3.38 $5.00 garments at $3.75 Mr.

Lime sulphur, powdered sulphur, and other new mixtures that have come into use in orchards are either injurious to the foliage, or are weaker in fungicidal action, or both.

Experiments made by the department show that, for potatoes and othor truck crops, nothing has yet been found to replace the copper fungicides. Bordeaux mixture Is made with copper sulphate, 4 pounds; quicklime, I pounds; and water to make 60 gallons. Suspend the copper sulphate in a gunny sack in a clean barrel containing several gallons of water. It should hang so as to be just below the surface of the water. When the sulphate is dissolved, which requires from three to four hours, remove the sack and stir into the barrel enough additional water to make exactly gallons of the copper solution.

Prepare the lime by slaking it slowly and thoroughly in a clean barrel, strain, and add enough additional water to make exactly 25 gallons of lime milk. Stir thoroughly. It is highly important to strain both ingredients before they are combined, as otherwise clogging of the spray nozzles might result. Use copper or bronze wire strainer of 18 meshes to the inch. Pour the.

two ingredients together into another barrel, or better, directly into the spray tank, if it will hold 50 gallons. After the two solutions are combined stir the mixture very thoroughly. Do not put copper sulphate or Bordeaux mixture into tin or iron vessels; use wood or copper containers. Mix the Bordeaux as needed and apply at once. It Is never so good after it has settled.

Stock Solutions. Everyone who uses Bordeaux mixture frequently and in quantity will find it convenient to keep concentrated stock solutions on hand, as these keep indefinitely if the water which evaporates is replaced. Build an elevated platform to hold the barrels. Some time before the day you wish to commence spraying, suspend 50 pounds of copper sulphate to dissolve In a 50-gallon barrel of water. Slake 50 pounds of lime in another barrel and add water to make 50 gallons of lime milk.

When Bordeaux mixture is needed stir both stock barrels and take from each as many gallons as the formula calls for in pounds. Dilute the copper sulphate in one barrel and the lfme milk, in another, each with Jialf the water, and let the two run together into the strainer of the spray tank. Add the arsenate of load or other poison, and stir well because thorough agitation is most important in making a good Bordeaux mixture. good time were the main features or the Juniata merchants twelfth annual picnic, held at Wopsy yesterday.
