CONTROL OF TOMAtb LATE
BLIGHT
Did you have fresh tomatoes
for the table and for canning last
year? If not you failed to get an
ample supply of Vitamin C in
your diet from tomatoes. Pro
tect your tomato crop this year
and be assured of tomatoes fresh
for the table, for canning, and
for marketing.
Late blight, which causes a
tiring of the leaves and a brown
rot of die fruit took a heavy toll
of home garden and commercial
tomato plantings in 1946.
You cannot afford to lose your
most important source of Vita
min C. Control late blight—Here’s
how:
1. Obtain reliable plants grown
under disease control practices
or spray or dust your own plant
beds.
2. Dust or spray the plants
in the field or garden.
Sprays or dust? Sprays usually
give somewhat better results and
are cheaper to use. However,
dusts can be more easily and
quickly applied than sprays and
give good results when proper
ty used.
MATERIALS TO USE
Either of the following materi
als can be used: Yellow Cupro
cide, Tri-Basic Copper Sulphate,
Compound-A Copper, 4-3-90 Bor
deaux spray, or 20-80 Copper
lime (Bordeaux) dust.
Note: Either of the “fixed”
coppers named are preferable
to Bordeaux spray or dust be
cause Bordeaux may cause some
injury and reduction of yield in
tomatoes.
Commercial dust mixers are
being advised of our recommend
ations and “Tomato Dusts” con
taining 6 to 7 per cent metallic
copper and ready for use should
be available on the market.
PROPORTIONS TO USE
Sprays: Yellow Cuprocide: 1
level tablespoonful to 2 gallons
water. Tri-Basic Copper Sul
phate (53% metallic): 4 level
tablespoonfuls to 1 gallon water.

lbs. wheat flour, 18% lbs. talc or
pyrophyllite.
Copper-lime (Bordeaux) Dust:
5 lbs. monohydrated copper
sulphate powder, 20 lbs. fresh
hydrated lime. (Apply copper
lime duSt only when the plants
are wet—the other dusts may be
applied at any time.)
Note: In preparing the above
du* mixtures at home rotate the
materials together in a tight drum
for several minutes. Place a num
ber of rounded stones about the
size of the fist in the drum while
mixing.
WHEN XU srnfll UK uubi
When plants are being grown
apply the treatment once a week
in the plant beds. For plants in
the garden or field: Start as
soon as the plants are growing
off well after transplanting. Ap
ply the treq^ments every week oj
behind all heavy rains..
WHAT EQUIPMENT TO USE
For Sprays: In gardens anc
other small plantings use the
pressure • tank or knapsack type
sprayers. Large commercia
planting use commercial type
row-crop sprayers.
For Dusts: Rotary hand cranl
dusters are best but good puff
type dusters may be used in the
small gardens. For larger plant
ings use the wheelbarrow type oj
commercial row-crop dusters
Do not try to do the job by shak
ing the dust on the plants
through sacks.
DO A GOOD JOB
Apply dusts or spray thorough
ly—get a good uniform coating
of the materials on all parts *ot
the plants. When heavy rains
wash off an application' repeat
the treatment. By doing a good
job you should be assured ol
tomatoes for table, canning, and
marketing.

Health Dept.
By Robert R. King, Jr.
District Health Officer
The cleanliness of our city
streets and public highways is
an aspect of public health that
is often neglected but neverthe
less important. Not only is it
unsightly to see candy wrappers,
cigarette packages, banana peel
ings, popcorn bpxes, ice cream
cones and cigarette butts scat
tered on the side walks and gut
ters and streets, but these items
actually offer means of spread
of contagious diseases. Cigar and
cigM’ette stubs are loaded with
the spittal of the smoker and as
soon as they dry any germs
clinging to them are blown in
the faces of the people coming
along behind. Candy wrappers
and ice cream cones have crumbs
of chocolate and drops of cream
clinging to them that have a
powerful attraction for flies,
gnats, and other insects and fur
nish an ideal breeding ground
for these disease carrying insects.
Not only insects but also rats
and mice are attracted during the
night to the trash littering a
street or highway.
Flies carry typhoid fever, dip
theria, disentary, tuberculosis,
and numerous other bacterial
diseases. Rats and mice carry
typhus fever which is transmit
ted by fleas living in the fur of
the rats.
Mayor ijfinkler of Boone re
cently issued an appeal to the
people of that city to clean up
their own yards, and Mayor Nic
hols of Sparta, at a meeting of
the town board recently, decid
ed to install rubbish cans along
the main street of Sparta so that
customers of the drug store, gro
cery stores, and moving picture
theatre will have a place to dis
pose of trash. There are usually
local ordinances regulating the
disposal of garbage'and unsight
ly accumulations of rubbish as
sociated with public service
buildings and private dwellings,
but the maintinance of side
walks, streets, and- highways is
a responsibility that rests upon
each member of the community,
and each of us should take pride
in a clean city which is also a
safe dity from the standpoint
of disease prevention and fire
control.
