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.—

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.
