stated that out Of the forty-nve patches

the size OF oranges and the stand in
the patches is good. The wet weather
of the past few weeks has injured the

that wet weather was not conducive to

Tomato Rot.

Nearly every spring when the first
settings of fruit appear. complaints
come to us about the various degrees
of losses sustained by fruit rot. says
Prof. Price of the Texas Experiment
Station. The trouble does not last
very long, and usually complaints cease
to come to us later on in the season.
Since we had started work on the va
rious tomato diseases of the state, with
a hope of giving positive information
from actual experience as to the best
method of treating the various dis
eases of the tomato, it might be well
to give some results of experiments
that we have already obtained in the
past. l shall add a word of caution
about black rot, or bloom end rot of
the tomato. This disease is recognized
easily on first appearance by the fruit
suddenly rotting at the bloom end. Va
rious parties who have had no actual
experience in fighting this disease rec
ommend Bordeaux mixture for it, on
general principles. No doubt 1t will
frequently do good, but judging from
my experience l cannot recommend
it as a specific for this disease 1t is
difficult to get around through the to-
mato field with the ordinary spraying
grown. Then again, scientific investi-
cation has revealed a bacillus that
gets into the fruit through abrasions
and cracks of the skin made by in
sects and other things. This bacillus
starts the rot and the macros-
porium fungus follows. Hence with
out careful examination with a mi
croscope, the bacillus is not seen and
the primary cause of the injury is not
rpa1iZad Tho mo
of fungi are frequently saprophytic
and live mostly on decaying or de-
cayed vegetable organisms and l have
found the species on quite a number of
decaying plants in the state. There
fore, spraying with Bordeaux has not
given very promising results for this
disease of the tomato with me. 1t
has been found that many of the
thrips and boil worms help to distrib-
ute the bacillus disease. l have
found by experiments that the
rot is much more damaging
on land that has grown tomatoes
the previous year. l have to-
matoes this year growing on land that
had grown tomatoes three previous
years and the rot is destroying about
20 per cent of the crop. while the
crop that is now growing on land that
did not have tomatoes grown on il
previously, scarcely 1 per cent of the
fruit is being destroyed by the fruit
rot. My experience leads me to be-
lieve that It is far better 10 rely upon
general precautionary measures for
fruit rot OF the tomato and several
other tomato diseases. ! believe all
the rotted fruit should be gathered and
destroyed. All the dead vines should
be destroyed IN the fall. Land that
had tomatoes on should not be plant
ed 10 tomatoes again for year or two.

perience leading up to such an inquiry.
few years ago 1 bought from firm
of Savannah ten pounds of "Kolo
Gem watermelon seed, but which
turned out when planted to be any
thing else and, in fact, there was not
single Kolb Gem in the entire field. AS
had planted them for long distance
shipments the crop was an entire loss
to me and, thinking the firm reliable,
demanded satisfaction for my loss,
but was quietly informed they were not
responsible, as reference to their Dill
heads would show, and refused to even
consider my claim. This has happened
again with a seed company of Augusta,
Ga. 1 bought 23 bushels Burt's Early
Oats this year from them, paying a
high price. They turned out badly
mixed with rye and there is not half
Burt oats among them. l make re-
clamation for damages and they claim
they are not responsible, that their
customers may send in orders for the
privilege Of shipping rye or anything
else they want in case they do not
have what is ordered. These firms
have been called reliable, and yet they
avow their own responsibility.
Therefore, as you have been advising
your readers to buy good seed, kindly
tell US where they may be had. We
realize the wisdom of your advice. but
don't know how to help ourselves.
