Potatoes protected by spray and dust to curb blight and rot
Ohio farm reports show sprayed or dusted potatoes yield 69 to 128 bushels more per acre than untreated ones. Liquid Bordeaux mix and hydrated lime copper dust protect plants from early blight hopper burn and late blight. Frequent applications advised, starting when plants are four inches high and continuing every ten days or weekly in hot dry weather. Also notes high earnings for hens and a farmer photographer from Wood County with numerous prize wins.

Early July plantings of soybeans for hay urged
Wisconsin Black Mandarin Minsoy and Ogema varieties may yield seed if frost arrives late. Early planting after July 1 can still produce hay if corn land is scarce, with best hay cut when pods are nearly full and seeds undeveloped. Late plantings allow mowing at bloom. navigation of weather is crucial. Thatcher notes planting rate one to two bushels per acre. alfalfa yields best at one tenth to full bloom.
