IA-oat Important Time For Spraying

spraying for potato late blight is now more important than at any previous period during this season. state! the weekly bulletin issued by the Science service Laboratory. Recent weather condi- tions have been exceptionally favourable for the development and spread of this disease. and all fields should be treated thoroughly and frequently if the health of the plants is to be maintained.

Many early fields are now being dug. Unless the tops are dead, there is a very definite danger In digging the crop. If there is any evidence of late blight, the tubers will be inoculated with the fungus spores and rot will develop in storage or in" transit to market. It is strongly urged that the tops be killed by spraying them with a chemical vine killer not less than ten days before the crop is to be harvested.

Aphid and flea beetle popula- tions are still building up in almost. every potato field in the province- The aphids have caused varyin amounts of damage to the foliage. and the second brood flea beetles will likely cause serious damage during the next two weeks. DDT 2596 emulsion at the rate of 1 quart to 100 gallons oi spray isi recommended. It should be applied) at 10 day intervals.

THE GUARDIAN.

The following has been issued by Mr. L. C. Callbeck, Dominion Lab- oratory of Plant Pathology, Science Services. Charlottetown:

"Experiments conducted for it, number of years leave no doubtl as to the wisdom of killing down the potato vines to prevent inocu- lation of the tubers with Intel blight spores during harvesting. This practice is necessary because some late blight spores will be produced on the Dlllllrb as long as they remain green, in spite oi the most careful and thorough spray- ing, and these spores can infect the tubers. When the tubers are dug, they pick up blight spores .from infected. leaves and stems .and from the surface of the soil.

"Germination of the sporesiwill occur in storage or during transit to market. the growing fungus in- vodes the tuber flesh and the con- dition known as late blight rot de- velops. Thus a. farmer may dig and sell perfectly sour-' potatoes but the buyer in an outside mar- ket may receive a rotting ship- ment. The buyer is not likely to order I second shipment, and he will turn to other producing areas. even to other provinces, for his supplies.

"The carelessness of one former in a. district may spoil the. market not only for himself, but for his neighbors as well. When this trou- blc occurs with early potatoes, the marketing of the late or main crop of seed and table stock will also be detrlmentnlly affected. -

"At the present time a consider- able volume of early potatoes is being dug and exported, and, un- less the tops have been dead for some time before digging is under- taken, there is a very definite dan-

ger in harvesting the crop. It is strongly urged that the tops be killed by spraying them with a

chemical top-killer not less than ten days, preferably two weeks. before the crop is to be harvested. This'interval is necessary to al- low blight spores on the dead vines

and on the soil to perish.

"Chemical vine killers may be used for other purposes: such as to remove the vines in order to make digging easier. to prevent losses from overslzed tubers, and to advance the date of digging in year when killing frosts come ab- normally late.

"it is probable that many fields of Irish Cobblers are now ready for killing. it is field of this var- iety has about ninety days growth and 'the foliage is being attacked by the late blight, s top-killing spray applied now will remove

the danger of loss through tuber rot. Heavy rains will wash the spores from the leaves into the

soil where they will atiiv" the tu- bers. If the foliage is destroyed by the application of a chemical spray. this danger will be removelj.

"Whether or not late blight is present on the foliage, it Is advis- able to leave the tubers in the ground for a number oi days after the tops are dead. During this in- terval the tubers loosen from the stolons and the skin matures, or toughens, rendering the potatoes less susceptible to mechanical in- jury during digging and quent in an immature condition are eas- ily bruised. even by light blows. Injured tubers are more likely than uninjured ones to be attack- cdt In storage-by certain other ro S.

"Last year is great many grow- I

era suffered losses because of the high proportion of overslzed tub- ers produced. These losses can be prevented by examining the fields from time to time kind ar- resting growth by killing down the foliage when the desired tuber size has been attained. This year Can- ada. expects to ship a large vol- ume to countries in South America. and this market will accept noth- ing over twelve ounces. The wait- ing perlcd of about two weeks be- tween killing the plants and har- vesting the crop should not be overlooked."

Rioting strikers on two of the territory's big tea estates have forced whites, Indians and many natives to flee the Cholo area to Blantyre, at the south of the long, narrow territory.
