EXPERIMENTAL FARMS. 



64 VICTORIA, A. 1301 



Eighty-one varieties were planted June 6 and dug October 16. The plots made 

 vigorous growth. Bordeaux mixture was sprayed on the plants July 27, August 17 

 and 27. The potatoes in neighbouring fields were exceptionally bad from blight, while 

 these plots were apparently clear of it, which was no doubt due to the use of the 

 Bordeaux mixture. 



The crop was harvested late, due to the exceptionally wet weather, making it 

 impossible to harvest them earlier, consequently increasing the percentage of rot. 

 The yield per acre is calculated from two rows each, 66 feet long, as follows : —
