Brown, teacher Notes on Potato Crop in Ontario County By Dept. of Agriculture, Whitby There has probably been a slight increase in' acreage planted to po- tatoes this year. Generally speaking, the potato crop is looking very promising at present. Bugs and blight have not caused much damage so far this year. Present weather conditions, are very conducive to the development of blight and it is making its appearance in many places, : 147 experiments in. spraying with Bordeaux mixture for blight conduct- ed by the farmers of Ontario, over-a period of four years, showed an aver: age increase of over 50. bushels per acre, over unsprayed potatoes. Bordeaux mixture 1s composed of bluestone, lime and water,--proport- jons 4 1bs., 4 bs, and 40 gallons. Dissolve bluestone and lime separately in wooden or granite pails, or crocks. Dilute each with one-half total guan- tity of water, then mix and spray on} potatoes. Add poison for bugs. During warm, murky weather, potatoes should be sprayed at intervals of 10 days or 2 * weeks," beginning ' at Prospect Miss M.
