VEGETABLES. 



The area in vegetables at Cap Rouge in 1915 was 3-96 acres and all the leading 

 varieties were grown of practically all kinds which will give satisfactory results in 

 the district. 



POTATOES. 



Twenty-two varieties were in the trial plots in 191.5. The soil was a sandy loam 

 with shale a couple of feet below and was manured at the rate of about twenty tons 

 per acre. The Colorado beetle was kept in check by Bordeaux mixture to which half 

 a pound of Paris green was added per 40 gallons of water; this also warded off fungous 

 diseases. The sets were cut of liberal size with two or three eyes each and were 

 planted in drills. The piece of ground was very uniform which gave each variety the 

 same advantage.
