Pa. m POTATO DIGGING. The Relation of It» Date to Potato Rot— Linilim Stored Tnlirrx. By Mossrs. MORSE an 1 JONES. Vermont Experiment Station. "How soon after the tops begin to die from the lute blight should the po j tatoes be dug:" This question is of ! much practical importance, and we I undertook in 1902 to secure an answer. Although the results obtained in those trials appeared definite and justified a tentative deduction, it was felt that conditions might so vary from year to j year that further trials were needed. , Accordingly on Aug. 31, lUO3, twenty rows of potatoes, forty-five feet long, were staked off on a field. These were on rather low ground in slightly moist and somewhat sandy soil. The late blight was abundant over the entire field, although it had mostly developed within the preceding week. On the plot selected one-third to one-half of the foliage bad been killed during this week by late blight. Four rows were dug on each of five different dates at Intervals of one week in such a manner as to give each time as near as possible an aver age of the plot. The following record shows the date of digging of each row and the condition of the tops at the time: Aug. 31.—Rows 1, C, 11, 10, foliage from one-third to one-half killed with lute blight Sept 7.—Rows 2. 7, 12, 17, leaves uli dead, but stalks green. Sept. 14.—Rows, 3, 8, 13, 18, stalks practically all dead. Sept 21.—Rows 4, 9, 14, 19, tops dead. Sept 2S.—Rows 5, 10, 15, 20, tops dead. Each lot was stored within a few hours after digging la a cool house cellar where the temperature was uni formly 50 to CO degree I\ The tubers were placed in bushel boxes and stacked up so as to allow free ventila tion. The conditions of storage were better, and probably much better, than those in the average farm cellar. Lute Differing; Prove* Bent. Regardless of the per cent of decay during any oue period the most impor tant question to be considered is which procedure will give the largest amount of sound tubers in the end. It will be seen that there is very little difference in the results from those dug Sept. 14, 21 and 28, while the digging of Sept 7 gave about eight-ninths as much and that of Aug. 31 le>s than one-lialf that obtained from the three later dates. The death of a large per cent of the foliage occurred between Aug. 31 and Sept. 7, anil the entire tops were dead on Sept. 14. Hence the data obtained appear to confirm the rule laid down In the former report "that where there Is danger of rot it Is best to de lay the digging some ten days or more after the tops die and that a longer delay does no harm." No Value In Sprinkling With Lime. Many farmers recommend sprinkling potatoes with air slaked lime when placed in the cellar. This treatment, it Is claimed, reduces the amount of decay in stored tubers. So far as can be Judged from the results of a single experiment, there Is nothing to be gulli ed by liming, there being but 2 per cent of difference and that In favor of the untreated tubers. Harvesting the Sugar Beet. The time of sugar beet harvest Is usually indicated by the argiculturists of the sugar factory for which the beets are destined, and notice is given to the grower to deliver his beets to the factory. An expert in sugar beet growing can readily discern when beets are ripe. The leaves droop and take on a yellow cast The sooner they are harvested after this the better, as they have reached their maximum of sugar content and purity. Warm fall rains are liable to start a new growth of the beets, causing them to send out a fresh supply of rootlets. This has a tendency to lower the purity and sugar content of the beets. If It Is apparent that the crop cannot be received at the factory at some time in the near future, the beets should be harvested and siloed. The contract usually provides for fol lowing the orders of the factory In this respect, and this is the safest course.— C. F. Saylor. ForentM and Stream Flow. In considering the relation of forests to stream flow James W. Tourney ex presses the opinion that, although the forest may have, on the ijliole, but little appreciable effect In Increasing the rainfall and the annual run-off. Its economic Importance in regulating the flow of streams is beyond computation. The great indirect value of the forest Is the effect which It lias In prevent ing wind and water erosion, thus al lowing the soil on hills and mountains to remain where it Is formed ami In other ways providing an adequate ab sorbing medium at the sources of the water courses of the country. It Is the •mount of water that passes Into the 8011, not the amount of rainfall, that makes a region garden or tlesert. The EnMentlal In Gran* Grooving.
