The Experiment Station has recelV-
ed many requests for information con-
corning tomato diseases, and this BRIEF
article is issued in the hope that 1t
may help some readers to secure bet
ter results with that crop.
There are a number of diseases
which attack this plant but most OF
them may be controlled by little
careful and persistent effort on the
part of the grower. Occasionally some
one says that he has sprayed, but did
not save the crop. Now we do not
know all the particulars in many OF
these cases, but it is safe to assume

ably four or five applications have
been given.
The worst diseases, such as Mildew
or Blight, Leaf Spot, Anthracnose. and
the common form of Fruit Rot can be
very effectively controlled by any one
who will follow the treatment outlined
above with reasonable care.
Brief descriptions Of some of these
diseases may enable interested grow
ers to recognize them without much
trouble.
Anthracnose.
The Anthracnose is most noticeable
on fruit. These fruit spots are dark
or black in the center with light Dor
der and are somewhat depressed.
Sometimes a fruit may be almost a
mass of spots. 1t does not cause a rot,
but renders the tomatoes unfit for
good market and rot is very apt to
follow in the spots. The same fungus
causes spotting Of the leaves and
stalks.
Blight or MIdew.
This disease attacks the leaves and
fruit especially. 1t causes a rotting OF
the fruit which often starts at the
stem end. 1t kills the leaves, working
with extreme rapidity during moist
weather. 1t may completely destroy
all the plants in a field within week
or two after having been first noticed.
When a leaf which is partly alive and
partly dead is examined in the morn
ing or after a cloudy day when there
has been some rain, there will be noted
a slight white growth on the under
surface of the leaf just in the edge Of
the living part of it. This is the fun
gus which causes the disease. The
leaves which are attacked have an ap-
pearance as though they had been
scalded with hot water, then they dry
up and die.
Leaf Spot.
The leaf spot is first noted upon the
lower leaves of the plant, and gradu'
ally spreads to those higher up. The
spots are frequently so numerous as to
almost completely cover the leaf. Bad
ly affected leaves dry up and fall off,
so that in severe cases of the disease
there will be no leaves left on the
plant except near the growing end OF
the stalk.
All the above diseases are favored
in their development by moist warm
weather. Care should be taken not TO
work among the plants when they are
wet, as this practice will frequently
carry the spores of the fungus from
one plant to another.
When there is doubt in regard to the
identity of any disease, a specimen
should be submitted to the Agricul.
tural Experiment Station for identih
cation.

Any circular on spraying will give di

2. Spray the plants for the first
time when they are about II to 10
inches high, or soon after they have
become well established in the field.
3. See that the spray reaches all

CUSTOMS CHANGES PUZZLE.
Features of Taft Plan Not Under.
stood By Treasury Officials.

Preparations for reorganization OF the
customs service July l are well under
way by Secretary McAdoo.
Some features Of the plan as sent to
Congress by former President Taft. and
thereby made law, are worrying Treas
ury officials
In one part of his message to Con-
gress Mr.. Taft made Norfolk the head
quarters OF the Virginia district. and in
another section referred to Norfolk and
Newport News as the joint headquarters
for Virginia The latter was the Treas
ury DEPARTMENTS recommendation, but
officials believe that Mr.. Taft meant to
make Norfolk the headquarters.

From a practical as well as an aesthetic
and humane standpoint, the protection of
birds is important for the benefit OF the
nation. Most people have no idea Of the
protection birds give to the crops OF the
country. There Is an annua; loss OF
$500 OOO, 900 in the United States from
pestiferous insects, and this loss has
been steadily increasing in proportion to
the decrease Of the birds, most Of which
feed upon them. The United States bio
logical survey has had the stomachs of
more than $500 birds examined. Thirty
grasshoppers and $50 caterpiMars were
found in the stomach OF q cuckoo. In
that of a nighthawk were found fifty
graSshoppers and in another more than
500 mosquitoes. Seventy cankerworms
were found in the crop OF cedar bird.
Mr. Treadwell of the Boston Society of
Natural History, fed young robin sixty
eight anglewOrms in a single day and
Canadian scientist reports q robin which
consumed sixty-eight cutworms in the
same period. According to careful esti-
mates the insect-feeding birds Of Massa-
chusetts last year consumed over q 600
bushels Of insects from May to Septem-
Der 80 Yet the damage done by insects
to the crops Of that state amounted to
100000.
