Potato Blight
Appears Again
DAAS-Late blight disease
which attacked potatoes and to
matoes last year is showing up on
potatoes in western Oregon. This
report has been received from O.
T. McWhorter, extension horticul
turist by W. a Leth, Polk county
agent, J
This disease which was respon
sible for the historic potato famine
in Ireland can be controlled al
though it may take several sprays
properly timed, Leth said. :
Potatoes should be sprayed with
Bordeaux mixture using the 3-3-50
formula. Spraying should begin
immediately as blight has appear
ed or If rainy Weather continues.
This spray should be repeated
every 10 days to - two weeks as
long as such weather continues
or blight is evident and ; spread
ing. Thorough spray coverage Is
necessary, McWhorter said,
Dusts are now available that
.,A tnatead of the liauid
may .-- - -
Bordeaux treatment. Copper-lime
dust may be used, but lt should b
applied atV more frequent inter
vals. Only reliable ' dusts should
be purchased frtSm reliable deal
ers. "There are also some proprie
tary copper dusts on ine marce
which should : be used asrecorr
monMi th manufacturers. In
general it is believed that the bor
deaux spray offers the most fool
proof practice for inexperienced
growers. . i
