Every year the potato yield is reduced by preventable dis eases 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 aver age 105 more bushels to the acre than unsprayed crops over a period of 21 years. Bordeaux mixture with lead arsen ate 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, af ter the middle of July, a thorough protective spraying should be given. Cool, wet weather means trouble, ac cording to the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. Continued showers and an average temperature around 73 degrees call for sprays once a week, or even every five days. For home gardens, small hand sprayers will do. For the farm po tato patch, where from one-half acre to 3 acres are grown and where there are orchard trees or small fruits to be sprayed, a barrel spray pump is rec ommended. The hand pump is mounted on a 60-gallon barrel and carried on a home-made two-wheel :art or in a farm wagon. If a cart s used, the nozzle may be fastened to the back to spray four rows, but to do good work with this, as with the lighter traction sprayer, it is neces sary to go twice over the field, the 3econd time coming back in tho op posite direction. More thorough work can be done by hand spraying if the pump is fitted with one or two lines it -inch hose, 25 feet long, ending in a 4-foot gas-pipe extension. This -equires a man for each line and one to pump. Commercial growers should pro vide themselves with the most effect ive traction sprayer they can get. In these the pump is operated by a chain or gear drive from the wheels. It pays to get the best, as a pressure of from 120 to 150 pounds is needed. A good nozzle is one of the most important parts of .a spray outfit The cyclone or eddy-chamber type, of which the Vermorel is an example, is the best. The 'spray should be a fine mist and should reach every part of the plant. Bordeaux mixture is the only fun gicide that has any practical value against potato diseases. Lime sul phur, 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 po tatoes and other truck crops, nothing has yet been found to replace the cop per fungicides. Bordeaux mixture is made with copper sulphate, 4 pounds; quicklime, 4 pounds; and water to make 50 gal lons. Suspend the copper sulphate in a gunny sack in a clean barrel con taining 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 25 gallons of the copper solution. Pre pare 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 import ant to strain both ingredients before they are combined, as otherwise clog ging of the spray nozzles might re sult. Use copper or bronze wire strainer of 18 meshes to the inch. Pour the two ingredients together into another barrel, or, better, direct ly 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 sul phate 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. Everyone who uses Bordeaux mix ture frequently and in quantity will find it convenient to keep concentrat ed 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 ihi day you wish to commence spraying suspend 60 pounds of copper sulphate to dissolve in a 60-gallon barrel of water. Slake 50 pounds of lime in other barrel and add water to make 50 gallons of lime milk. When Bor deaux mixture is needed stir both stock barrels and take from each as many gallons as the formula calls for in pounds. Dilute the copper sul phate in one barrel and the lime milk in another, each with half the water, and let the two run together into the strainer of the spray tank. Add the arsenate of lead or other poison, and stir well because thorough agitation is most important in making a good Bordeaux mixture.
