Cure of Tobacco Diseases

TOBACCO is subject to n number OF dis

such as broom rape, that do considerable
damage,
The wilt is a bacterial disease and can be
detected by the dlscolorcd vascular tissues
OF tho stems Rotation is the only means
10 prevent it. Most OF the fungous diseases
can be prevented by clean cultivation clean

cations Of solutions OF formalln al pintS
