Spray the potato crop pow, as the late blight may come along at any time and there is no cure for it, prevention being the only safe- guard. The disease which is 'fungus, will first appear upon the leaves; these lose their green color, and become spotted with yellowish patches to a dark brown or black. In damp weather the fungus spreads more rapidly and after the leaves the stem will be attacked and in very short time the whole plant above ground may become a moist blackish ill-smelling mass. The disease can be distinguished trom the natural withering which takes place at the end of the grow- ing season, by a border of greyish white mildew surrounding the margin of each dead ¢pot on the under surface of the leaf. Spraying with bordeau mixture once in about every two weeks until the end of the growing season will control the disease. The mixture should be what is known as 4 4-40. Take 4 Ibs fresh lime and when slacked, dilute to 10 gallons ; then take 4 lbs. copper sulphate (Bluestone) dissolve it and dilute to 10 gallons, after which strain each mixture through coarse sacking ipto the spray barrel, gallon by gallon alternately, and fill up with water to 40 gallons. The use of hot water for slacking the lime and dissolving the blue- stone will expedite the operation. ¥ Roast. Results of Departmental Ex- amipations at Port Perry High School - ENTRANCE zo.
