POTATO BULLETIN

Frequent rain and continued high humidity have persisted since our last bulletin. and late blight of potato has already appeared in some plantings in both Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. Ac- cording to No. 5 Weekly Potato Bulletin issued by F. M. Cannon, Field Crop Insect Section and L. C. Callbeck, Plant Pathology Sect- ion of the Science Service Laborat- ory, Charlottetown, P. E, 1, The growers are therefore advised that the usual schedules for spraying or dusting should be followed.

The only potato insects of im- portance at present are aphids. Population are building up in some fields and, if the weather is favourable during the next few Weeks. they may cause consider- able damage either by fccding on the foliage or spreading virus dis- eases. Malathlon as a spray or gust is effective in controlling ap-
