2 POTATO EXPERIENCE. Late potatoes were a failure in New | York state the present season. This ~as due to the {incessant rain fall which flooded the lowlands and caused lecay and blight even on the higher | ground. Early potatoes did very well, qaving nearly reached maturity be. ‘ore the very wet weather came on. I'his particular section of the state | joes not grow a large acreage of pota- oes, though about 20 miles west they ire one of the chief money crops. Lit- tle spraying for blight is done by farm- sre in the immediate vicinity, and in- feed, they were so busy the past sum- mer, fishing hay out of the puddles »otween showers, that there was little ime for other work. We only had a small pieee of ground in potatoes, and snecessfully tried a new method of ap- | nlving copper sulphate. | made it very strong and then used one of the atom- izers, which are used to apply paris zreen solution—no lime was used A few hills were sprayed first, and, as they were not burned, the following diay the copper was applied to the 1 of the fiel It checked the bligh crop was harvested making many And dese herein method make a little of the + fou: g one's whole « t it is useless to put rainy weather off I wrong, and that advantage between vines absorl These part fall, the during all are tO washed pot tages of whicl the balance spring-plowed were badly eaten on fall-pl little damage Agricultu 1 the in degrees and Work It w thoroughls ged vigusly provi cloth wet a clean piank and put in Cloge the corners of the cloth smooth.

MOISTURE As rains fall and the moisture goea down when an excess of moisture ex. ists (which happens only after the soll is saturated, and all the spaces between the particles are filled) crops cannot thrive, because the solution of mant food would be too dilute. As tlie water fills the roll the air ia driven out, and continued rains will cause the excess of water to stand on the surface if it cannot flow off. The soil will dry slowly unless there is an out- let below, evaporation of the moisture creating cold and destroying the plants. When the soil has been tilled | or has some kind of drainage the ex. vas of water goes down, and the air follows, carrying warmth, while the | 806i] will retain sufficient moisture for the crops, though a large portion of the | soil moisture will be lost if not con- served by judicious cultivation. As! the water leaves the earth at the sur. | face that lower down comes up through | capillary attraction, but a large pro- | portion of the lower water is arrested by the plant roots before it can pass | up, and is then utilized. Organic mat. | ter in the soil increases its water-hold. | ing capacity, and widens the range | between drought and excessive water | supply, either of which is injurious to | plant life. Water held by the organic | matter may be useful to the bacterial life that forwards the decomposition of organic substances in the soil, and as the decomposition continues there may be a gradual liberation of mols ture as the organic substances are more and more reduced. The water | may also be useful to growing crops. Bat moisture alone will not forward | crops; warmth {a essential, and as the oxcess of water is removed from be. tow the soil becomes warmer at the | When the soil ic loos verted and the supply is continued delphia Record.
