Blight Affects New Brunswick Potato 

 Crop. 



Reports from Preilerioton, the capi- 

 tal of the Province, state that the 

 Dominion plant pathologist has been 

 informed by field insi>ectors that about 

 60 per cent, of the prowing potatoes of 

 New Brunswick have been "killed 

 down" by bllRht. and no more growth 

 will take place in fields so affected. 

 The northern and more inland por- 

 tions of the Province have suffered 

 less than the southern and coastal 

 regions. 



This means that the yield of potatoes 

 will be greatly reduced, and in spite 

 of an increase in planted acreage of 

 about 25 per cent, the recovery will 

 probably not exceed the 1910 total. It 

 is explained that this estimate does 

 not take account of a possible loss by 

 rot, which may follow in the case of 

 potatoes affected by blight. 



Reports from districts in which 

 the growing plants were thoroughly 

 sprayed with the "Bordeaux mixture" 

 indicate that that method of treatment 

 has proved largely successful in pre- 

 venting blight. 



The Livingston Seed Co., of Colum- 

 bus. Ohio, announces that they will 

 close out their entire nursery stock in 

 order to give full attention to their 

 seed business.
