AFungi Producing Stem-End
Rot Has Been Foundto Be The
Cause of Watermelon Decay

WASHINGTON, D c., Oct, 21-The
principal cause of the deterioration of
Watermelons in transit from South
Georgia to northern markets has been
found by the Department Of Agricul
ture to be fungus which produces a
stem-end rot. The numerous COM
plants of heavy losses from this cause
during recent years, which led the De-
partment to investigate the subject,
have been that cars shipped in appar
emily good condition arrived at des
tination with large percentage of the
melons decayed.
This injury was variously attributed
to the prestnce of lime, fertilizers, or
other chemicals on the sides and floors
Of the cars, though by some it was be-
lieyed to be due to rough handling and
Varietal or cultural defects.
The Department sent it's specialists
to study the melons in the field, to
watch the harvesting and shipping OPP
erations, and to travel with cars if
melons to northern cities, making tenn
perature and other records on, the
way. Other men were stationed in
the great terminals to observe the
condition of the melons as they arriv-
ed, and the Psychologists in the Wash
i1gton laboratories studied the nature
CT the injury.
A special study was made to deter
. mine what, if any, effect the presence
of chemical fertilizers might have on
the decay in melons. The only sub
stance found in any appreciate am
cunt in the cars examined was calcium
acid phosphate. Experiments with this
chemical do not indicate that it causes
spoilage. The cause of the decay in
any case is not the acidity of the ma
terial in contact with the melon. So
far as can be ascertained neither sui
phuric nor phosphoric acid penetrates
the melon.
The conclusions reached were that
only small part of the trouble may
lie attributed to imperfect cleaning OF
cars that have been previously used
for the shipment of fertilizers or other
materials and that some improvements
may be made in growing and handling
the melons, but that 80 per cent of tho
losses from decay in transit during the
past season resulted from the infection
Il the stem ends of the melons by j
decay-producing fungus called Dip
lodia.
This is related to fungi which cause
similar injuries to citrus fruits, sweet
POTATOES and cotton bolls. 1t apparent
" infects the cut stems, or possibly is
present in the vines, and the problem

OF control must be worked out on the
farms rather than in the railway cars.
1t is recommended, however, that
freight cars which have contained de-
cayed melons be disinfected by spray
ing with IL per cent copper sulphate
solution before using again, to de-
stroy the fungus present, which might
otherwise inefct portions of the next
load. The Department will continue
its investigations to learn the life his
tory of the fungus and work out and
test practical methods of control.
Another type of injury to watermel-
ons and cantaloupes, very prevalent
this year takes the form of pitted de-
cayed spots scattered over the fruit.
This is the anthracnose, a fungus
trouble which also originates in the
field where it attacks the foliage as
well as the fduit Thorough spraying
with Bordeaux mixture is the remedy
in this case.
