BILLINGS, Supt ' ' Now that the potatoes have been planted and the tomatoes are being set out, the-next two things of prime importance to these two crops' arc cultivation and spraying. . Due to the continued rainy season there have been very few seed beds put in first class condition. We may also expect a dry season after so much rain in the spring and the best method of overcoming these two ob stacles is by frequent and proper cultivation. The cultivation of both cjrops should begin a few days after they are planted and continued until the vines are so large that they would be in jured. Every effort should be made to keep surface soil loose and free from weeds. Cultivation should not be carried on while, the vines- are wet. as this tends to spread disease. ! The blight has become so very de structive to the tomato and potato crops in this 'section that it becomes almost imperative' that spraying or dusting be practiced and since both crops are of the same family -the same spray or dur.t material may be used for both crops. The grower takes too great a chance of losing the whole crop by not 'spraying or dusting. ' To be( effective the spraying or dusting of tomatoes or potatoes must be absolutely thorough, otherwise it is of little importance. Th". spray or dust must come in contact with every part of the foliage, the under side as well as the top side of the leaves. For tomatoes the spraying should begin about the time the plants have begun to grow after they are set in the fields, while for potatoes the spraying should begin about time vines are six to eignt incnes nign. Spraying should be kept up at inter vals, of from 10 to 14 days until five applications have been made. ! Bordeaux mixture (dust or spray,) is the best material to use. Insects may be controlled at the same time by using the poison "Bor deaux mixture .or by adding two pounds of arsenate of lead to 50 gal lons of the Bordeaux mixture solu tion. L. D.

It costs more to feed our insect ene mies than it does. to kill them and yet they are becoming more numer ous and the cost of feeding them is growing larger every year. The very destructive insect is not as. bad an enemy to the truck grower and gar dener as the plant diseases and since the two are working together for de struction, it becomes necessary that some preventive and control meas ures be practiced. The most impor tant one of these measures at this season is a systematic spray or dust schedule. It makes little difference whether it be a spray or dust since the same properties may be had in either. To get good results the spray or dust must come in contact with every part of the foliage and it is advisable to begin the schedule while the plant is young. This would check any dis ease just starting and also would kill the first egg-laying insects which is very important, for one female bug might lay thousands of eggs each day of her life. ! It is better to apply too many than too.. few sprays or dusts. The poison Bordeaux mixture is the best spray or dust to use and it may be used on a large number of plants, some of which are: Tomatoes, potatoes, cabbage, melons, beans and squash. The poisoned Bordeaux mixture will not kill plant lice and probably the best results will be had from the use of the following mix ture: 1 teaspoonful of nicotine sul phate; I inch cube of laundry soap; 1 gallon of water. The best remedy for controlling the cutworm, which attacks the tomato, sweet potato and other plants, is what is known as the "poisoned bait" and it is made and used as tollows Take cne peck of dry bran, add four ounces of arsenate of lead and mix with two gallons of water in which has been stirred a gallon of sorghum or other cheap syrup. After the mash has stood for an hour or two, scatter it in small lumps about the plants late in the afternoon, This poison bait may also .be used to kill ants and moles. , .Over a period of five years . the sprayed potatoes at the Swannanoa Test Farm have yielded 5.1 per cent more than those not sprayed. v arm ers' Federation' News.
