RORDEAUX MIXTURE USED TO PREVENT POTATO 
BLIGHT. 
Continuing the work of last year, we have satisfied ourselves, 
and a large number of farmers, of the efficacy of Bordeaux 
mixture as a preventive of potato blight, and hope to demonstrate 
the practicability of using this mixture by showing the cheapness — 
of the application and the value of the crop saved. In previous 
writings* it has been suggested that Bordeaux mixture could be 
used in connection with Paris green or London purple, and the tests | 
‘made this year clearly prove the desirability of doing so. When 
oae considers the absolute necessity of fighting the potato beetle 
with one of the arsenites, either in water or mixed with ashes, 

meat a Fe ny 
land plaster or some other like substance, it is evident that if © ie 
water is the agent through which the arsenites are distributed —
