YARD CHANGES.

Hereafter yard masters on the Bal
timore & Ohio Company will be pro-
NOTED from actual train service. This
means that yard clerks will not be
eligible for the above position unless
they have been brakeman the required
length of time. This change was
brought about by the B. of r. T., VINO
made the kick that the members were
entitled TO the places first. The B. &
o. took kindly to the proposition and
have decided to promote the men ac>
cordingly. The change will be hard
on the yard clerks who have been
working so many years with a view
of being made yard master.

Leaf Curl
TOMATO WORM.
This insect see figure g. is very
OmniverOus feeder. From that fact it
has received a good many names. 1t
is generally known by the name of
bOll-wOrm, but is also called corn
worm, Dud-wOrm, and several others
that are less generally known. The
best remedy that has Deen put into
practice in Florida is to gather the
wormy fruit and destroy it. Also to
destroy all tomato vines in the field
Immediately after the shipping season
is over. This worm was once very
prevalent in several tomato growing
districts, but now is scarcely consider
ed as a severe enemy to the tomato
grower who practiSeS the above rem
edy.

produced in the laboratory by simply
forcing an abundant supply of water
into cut tomato stem, or it may be
brought on in a prOpagating house by
an Over-supply of water. In the field
it is usually due to one or two of sew
eral causes, the most important Of
which are an abundant supply of wa
ter, as during a rainy season, another
is too vigorous topping or suckering.
Remedy.-When this disease occurs
in a field, if topping or suckering has
been practiced, it should be discOntin-
ued. If it is due to too much rain
some good may be done by draining
the field more perfectly, also by deep
and close blowing to the plants. This
helps to draw the water off rapidly,
dries the soil, gives the plant needed
oxygen and mutilates the root system
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1899-03-01

Severe mutilatiOn of the roots also
causes dropping of fruit and buds.
Remedy.-The remedy for this dis
order need not be very obscure when
the cause is once found. If it hap
pens that the plants are growing too
rapidly and shed buds on this ac-

moisture.
DROPPING OF BUDS.
This is very destructive to the guam
t:ty of tomatoes produced by field.
An abundance of tomato buds form
but either before the flowers are open,
or after they are open, they drop
from the plant, setting no tomatoes.
Sometimes, however, the tomatoes set
and the fruit drops. AS the cause for
these two conditions is the same, the
remedy will be likewise the same.
Cause.-Dropping of buds or of
fruit is caused by an improper nutri-
ton of these portions of the plant,
usually due to an improper condition
of the soil, though sometimes an ad-
verse condition of the atmosphere may
cause buds to drop. A severe rainy
season causes the plants to become
sickly and improperly fed This will
be followed by dropping of buds and
fruit Cold weather causes an arrest of
the growing of the plant and frequent
ly results in dropping of fruit or buds.

hardly need to go into a discussion of
it.
Remedy-Sulphur spray is almost a

weeds and way-side plants, living
upon these until another crop of to-
matoes shall have been planted, it be-
comes very important to know which
species are affected. Among those
plants that harbOr the bacterium of
tomato blight is the jamestown weed,
Black Night Shade and several of the
so-called Balloon plants belonging to
the genus Physalis.

Unfortunately, this disease is also
known by the name of mold. This
name, however, cannot be applied as
mold of the tomato is caused by
fungus and this disease by an insect
mite. The term mold and the ac-

phere. Flowers of Sulphur has also
been recommended and is said to be
very good.
ROOT-KNOT
The term ''roOt-knOt' is applied to
a peculiar knOtting of the roots of to-
mato plants. This disease is caused
by a microscopic worm which attacks
the tissues of the plant and then lives
within them, where the female lays
her eggs, which in turn grow into
worms and attack new portions of the
plant, so that single worm in the
beginning Of a season may cause a
very considerable roOt-knOt upon the
pant before the crop has matured. A
few people are still of the opinion that
rOot-knOt is nitrogen gathering tuber
Gle. AS nitrogen gathering tubercleS
do not occur upon tomato plants, no
one need be in error on this account.
The nitrogen gathering tubercles and
rOOt-knOt present such striking differ
ences that one rarely needs to hest

of fungus in the field. The natural
habitat of this fungus is decaylng
vegetable matter, especially weeds and
soft wood. The remedy is, any form
of fungicide may be sprayed upon the
ground and about the plant. Such a
fungicide as Eau Celeste, Potassium
SulDhide and others. will be found al
most complete representatives..

FUNGUS BLIGHT.

This disease has been destructive to
tomatoes in various portions of Flor
ida but has now become much less
frequently So One of the main rea-
sons for this is that remedy is known
and another reason is that the tomato
growers put their fields in such cOndi-
ton as will greatly reduce the amount

LEAF CURL.

Rolled lead and Oedema are other
names by which this disease is known.
The term leaf curl is so appropriate
for this disease that a description is
hardly necessary. By referring to
figure 2 of the accompanying engrav-
ings. the reader will at once be ac-
quainted with this disorder. One
marked difference between this and
black rot, or other fungus diseases, is
that the leaves roll toward the upper
surface, while in all other diseases
they roll towards the lower surface.
Cause-This disease can easily be

A DEscRIPTIVE WORK.

The greatly increased number OF
inquiries received daily in tins
county from persons at q distance
seeking profitable investment in
lands. mill sites, factories, timber,
ETC., has led us to think long and
seriously of producing biosraph-
teal, typographical, geographical,
geological horticultural, agricul'
cultural and manufacturing sou
,venir In the shape of a handsomely
illustrated and beautifully printed
descriptive pamphlet of this county
and its illimitable resources. To
compile properly q credltable work
ofthis kind requires time, patience
and a vast amount Of information
which must be gathered from the
people. 1t also requires liberal f
nancial encouragement; but OF this
latter we have no fears, because
this county has never yet refused
10 back us in any laudable and bel
eficial undertaking. But we want
the cooperation of every citizen,
both financially and as to informa.
ton. We want all kinds OF inform.
alton which is calculated to lay be.
fore the world, true description
Of what God hts put in our hands.
and at our disposal. We may over
look something if we depend en-
tlrely upon our own resources.
In this work we hope to use
many photographs, views of resi-.
dences, public and private build.
ings, farm scenes, fine stock, etc.
In view OF this. fact we would sug-
gest that those who can do sc
should procure good photographs
as soon as possible and have them
ready for us when we call for tn EN-.
We have concluded to begin the
preliminary work of this enter
prise at once. fyou have inform.
alton please send it to us. Wewil
issue the work about March /, 1900
Ii you have views either of your
own or of public nature, which.
you think should, DO shown in the
book, let US know at once and we
will have our photographer max ,
the negatives. now. We have q
fir.t-class photographer at our ser.
vice for this work until after the
holidays. We will illustrate this
work with what are known as hall
tone cuts-exact reproductions OF
photographs--the same as are seen
in the leading magazines of the
day.
This work will be made a valu.
able guide to this county. 1t will
be Of inestimable value to every
citizen, especially the property
owner and business man. Timber
and real estate, dealers will b.
specially benefited and their inter.
ests will be thoroughly looked after
in this work. -
We hope to have your co.opera-
ton and encouragement. and oul
representatives will try to see you
personally with samples and ex-
plantations.
Our object is the advancement of
every business and public interest
of st. Francis County.
