FEW MUSKMEL0N DISEASES
Leaf Blight Causes Large Dead Areas
In Leaves-Fungus Attacks
Stems of All Plants.
CBy A. d. SELBY.)

Muskmelon leaf blight is a disease
more or less peculiar to the musk
melon, although the fungus which
causes 1t has also been found upon
cucumber leaves.
The leaf blight causes rather large
dead areas in the leaves, which are
usually distinguished from those of
mildew by their larger size and the
tendency Of the central portion to
break out. The prevention of musk
melon leaf blight is by no means an
easy matter, requiring of itself great
thoroughness and carefulness in the
application OF the Bordeaux mixture
and also requiring that the downy
mildew shall be watched during the
same period. For this reason earlier
sprayings, If made before August l.,
should be repeated at fortnightly in
tervals, while those after August 1
should be at weekly or ten-day inter-
ais. Melon growers have succeeded
