Sometimes the line of attack will show quite plainly ina field, where the progress of the spotting is stopped bythe resisting power of plants on a strip of moister soil.Spraying with bordeaux or carbonate of copper mixturewould probably check or prevent the spotting and thussomewhat prolong the growing season. But growersassume that the blight comes too late to do much harmto the next years crop, and spraying is not attempted. HINTS AND HELPS. 121 In several of the large rhubarb fields of Long Island, another form of blight or similar disease has beennoticed, and is tlie canse of some nneasiness in that lo-cality.
