Leaf-spot of tomatoes is an outdoor
trouble. 1t may be successfully pre-.
vented by about three thorough spray
ings with Bordeaux mixture.
Currant leaf-spot causes immature
dropping of the foliage; in some cases
the leaves drop even before the fruit
has ripened.
Bordeaux mixture Is effective
against this disease, though late appli-
cations may render 1t necessary to
wash the fruit. For this reason spray
ing should be done very early.
The progress made in plant disease
prevention throughout the world dur
ing the period of about 20. years which
has elapsed since the discovery OF
Bordeaux mixture in France shows
how we'll adapted that discovery was
