POTATO BLIGHT But for the fact that the flower of South American potato plant appealed to the eye of the English Court believed to have been around the reign of King Henry VIII it is very possible that great deal of the work which is being carried out by the Ontario Department of Agriculture to arrest potato blight might never have been possible From time immemorial the po tato grower has lived perhaps one of the most precarious of exis tences in the field of agriculture knowing that the plant he seeks to raise is attacked by more dis eases than any other cultivated plant In any one year if blight struck at the national cropwith out any control the 1055 would go into millions and millions of dol lars Of all the disasters which can overtake the potato grower per haps that caused by late

of its kind in Ontario and as result of seed potatoes which came from the crop other farmers in various parts of the country are now obtaining the ben efits of this pioneering work which took place in this district In rough outline the experiment consisted of planting these potatoes with others whyh were purely of North American variety the Kata hdins The work revealed just what farmers andothers
