It is said that for some soils barn-
yard manure to which a little super-
phosphate has been added seems to be
a very desirable fertibizer for turnips.
This is undoubtedly true of soils of min-
eral origin which have previously been
subjected to careless farming.

For potatoes the same materials are

rot and the paris green to kill the bugs.
The pumps must be started early; in
fact, much earlier than the common
practice. As soon as the vines are
nicely up give them an application of
weak bordeaux and repeat this from
five to seven times at intervals of ten
days each. This will prevent the spores
from getting a foothold and it is only
in prevention that any good is accom
