Circular No. 5. 339 



The foliage on all plats must be kept intact by spraying if 

 necessary. To prevent the attacks of the leaf flea-beetle and 

 the blight use Bordeaux mixture, and for the common potato 

 beetle, Paris-green. (See Cornell Bulletin 130.) 



If it is desired to conduct fertilizer experiments in connection 

 with this tillage experiment, the additional plats required may 

 be laid off the same size and the fertilizer applied according to 

 directions given by Dr. Caldwell. (See Cornell Bulletin 129.) 

 It is hoped that, in addititon to the potato tillage experiment 

 outlined above, every farmer will arrange for one or more ad- 

 ditional plats on which to carry out his own idea of potato 

 raising. Have one plat which shall have the potatoes hilled up 

 in the ordinary way of hilling potatoes.
