ture, when applied to plant, became
almost complete preventative for the
disease. This is because the Bordeaux
mixture is poisonous to this delicate
fungus but it does not effect the tOma-
to plant injuriously. If therefore, a
tomato leaf be covered with Bordeaux
mixture it makes the entire surface
so covered poisonous to the fungus and
consequently renders the plant i'm
mune to rust. If, however, any
portion of the plant remains un-
treated with Bordeaux mixture,
that portion of the plant is as
liable to attack as though no Bor-
deauX mixture had been applied to
the other portions of the plant.
How to. Make Bordeaux MIXTURE

so gallons of water by suspending it
in a sack near the surface. Slack six
pounds of caustic lime in as little water
as practicable. Then dilute to so gall.

necessary to spray after the rain If
this has washed the Bordeaux mixture
off the plants. The spraying should
then be repeated in the course of a
week or ten days, depending upon the
rapidity of the growth of the plants.
BACTERIAL BLIGHT.
This disease is due to bacterium
which lives in the interior of the toma-
to plant This microbe lives upon the
elaborated material within the tissue
and there causes a deposit of brown,
gummy substance which is one of the
characteristics of the disease. By TAX
ing a knife and making cross section
of the plant one will find deposited in
the tissue this dark gummy substance,
then by splitting it open lengthwise
it may be traced down the stem for
considerable distance. Actual eX-
periments show the microbes also pres
ent in the expanded portion of the leaf,
as well as in the petiole.
Method of InfectiOn.-Insects feed

solutions thoroughly, take out an equal
portion from each barrel, pour them
together, and stir briskly for a half
minute and apply at once. Bordeaux
mixture that has settled is not as good
as when it is freshly made.
Effects of Rain.-This Bordeaux
mixture is more or less soluble
in water, at least it may be
washed off the plants by dash
Of rain, or it may be injuriously
affected by a heavy dew, consequently
the remedy is not successful during
excessively rainy seasons because the
rains wash the Bordeaux mixture off
on to the soil where it does no more
good than if it were still in the barrel.
In using Bordeaux mixture then, we
must be guided by the amount of rain
and the amount of growing that plants
do. Remembering that plants are rem
dered immune only by the presence of
Bordeaux mixture on the leaves, we
can readily see that the rain will do
considerable damage and cause the dis
ease to spread. 1t will therefore be

ing upon diseased plants and then
passing to we'll ones carry these mi
crobes in their mouths to the we'll
plants where some of them are left, if
the insects feed on the we'll plants.
There also seems to be strong evidence
that this disease may be carried over
from one season to another in the soil
and given to plants that are set in soil
infected the previous year.
Treatment-From the foregoing it
will be readily seen that any treatment
must be radical to affect and prevent
this disease. We must render the field
as nearly free from insects as is possi-
BILE and at the same time as nearly
free from the disease as can be. The
best way to destroy insects will de-
pend upon what insects are commonly
present. Blighted plants should be de-
stroyed instantly when detected. The
best way will doubtless be to remove
the plants from the fields and burn
them.
Experiments to Prevent Blight.-A
number of experiments have been In

TOMATO DISEASES.
BY PROF P. II. ROLLS.
Florida Experiment Station.

in accepting your invitation to write
on tomato diseases l realize very full
ly that it would take a great deal of
patience to describe all these mala-
dies correctly and sufficiently clear that
the reader who is not familiar with
technical language may understand,
nor will it be possible to say all that
could be said in discussing these trou-
bles.
In 1895 SaccardO recorded twenty
three diseases of the tomato caused
by fungi alone. Since that time sew
eral. important ones have been added
to the list. Beside those caused by
fungi there are some caused by un-
toward condition Of the soil or atmOs-
phere. Then also those that are caused
by insects, worms and other animals.
The number of insects which attack
tomatoes is probably not less than a
hundred From this brief statement
it will be clear to the thoughtful read
er that while this short discussion is
entitled tomato diseases, it does not
pretend to be complete.
RUST.
This disease of the tomato has been
recognized for a number of years in
Florida and has been known by sew
eral names. Among them are tomato
spot, black spot ana spot. The ac-
cOmpanying figure illustrates leaf OF
the tomato attacked by this fungus.
When the disease first appears it is not
visible unless one holds leaf between
himself and the light and then only
as very small specks. Later these in
crease in size and finally involve the
whole leaf. During later stages Of the
disease one will frequently see more
or less concentric lines running
through the dead portion of the leaf.
DisseminatiOn.-A microscopic study
Of these dead portions of the leaf re-
veal the fact that they bear countless
numbers of spores. These spores are
very small and light, making it posi-
ble for a wind to carry them from one
plant to another and possibly from
one field to another. Also any animal
or insect going from one field to anoth-
er might carry spores with it. Or the
tomato pickers working in an infested
field would carry myriadS of spores
with them in their clothes. COnse-
quently we see the danger of spread
ing the disease to healthy field when
one has been working in a diseased
one.
Remedy.-It has been known for a
number OF years that Bordeaux mix

stituted to try the efficiency of differ
ent methods. One that seemed to be
very promising at first thought was
that of varying the fertilizers. A
great many combinations of the Ordin>
ary fertilizers were used on expert
mental plots from which the fact may
be deduced that no one form of am
mOnia is any better than another, no
form of potash is any better than an
other, no form of phosphoric acid is
blight. While this at first seemed to be
a promising field for investigation, ON
more mature thought we realized that
the plant takes up only such Of these
substances as are needed for it's
growth and the bacterium lives upon
the more or less elaborated material
within the tissues Of the host plant.
Consequently the plant has already
selected the material and prepared it
for the bacterium to grow upon.
Various forms Of spray were like
wise tried with the hope that some Of
these might prove of sufficient influ-
ence upon the plant to cause at least
some difference, but these also gave
negative results.
The distance between plants affects
the rapidity with which the blight
spreads very materially. In fields
where plants were set two feet apart
in the rows and the rows two feet
apart, the blight spread more than
four times as rapidly as it did in
fields where the rows were four feet
apart and the plants four feet in the
row. From the experiments at hand
we might deduce the follOwing,-that
the greater the distance between the
plants, the less rapidly does the blight
travel, other things being equal.
FINALLY upwards Of 200 varieties of
tomatoes have been tested as to their
relation to this blight. From this we
learned that the small forms such as
the cherry and currant tomato, plum
tomato, are much less susceptible to
it than the fancy varieties. Among
those varieties that bear marketable
fruits, those belonging to the Dwarf
Champion strain were much less af-
fected by blight than those belonging
to the potato leaf strain. One varie-
ty, known as Ford Hook Fancy, prov
ed especially resistent.
Other Plants Affected.-While at
first it seems quite immaterial as to
whether our weeds and roadside
plants are affected with the disease or
not, on later thought it becomes ap-
parent that it is a very important
question. 1t is not a difficult matter to
destroy all the cultivated plants in
ones field, and thus cut off the food
supply for this bacterium, but when
one remembers that this microbe may
be carried to some OF our common
