Potato Spraying Now ilnder Way In This Province

Late Night is showing up in some of the earlier Dlantinks and may be exgected to become firmly estab- lis ed if the present humid weath- er continues, it was reported yester- day. The recent warm weather and abundant moisture available the soil have combined to prom- ote unusually strong growth in po-

ma. fields. farmers who have not-

made the first spray application are being urzed to do so without delay in order to place a protective coverage over rapidly growing lents. The necessity fol- this pro- ection now is more clearly under- stood if one stops to realize that leaves and stems not receiving this early season application take the blight later. endangering the entire crop when the lower leaves cannot be reached by the spray.

Advices fronl the Dominion Lab- oratory are to the effect that. inr- mers should spray at l0 day in- tervals or oftelier if blight is dev- eloping rapidly. spraying should not be neglect/ed during fine wea- ther nor during the haying period unless the weather is unusually dry and generally against rapid Etowth and blight development. Unless otherwise advLrecl, however. far- mers should follow the regular spray program without interrup- tion, bearing in mind not to spray when the plants are wet or if any Iain is falling.
