DISEASE OF TOMATOES

The function Of insects as carriers oi
disease is well established in the case OF
some plant and animal diseases. One OF
these diseases in which the facts, although
not conclusive, at least point toward an
insect agency, is that yellowing and dwarf
ing of tomato foliage known as the mosaic
disease. The mosaic does not commonly
kill the plant outright as do some other
well known troubles, nor does it usually
cause the leaves to drop. In the worst
cases the plant is dwarfed and If the
fruit is set at all does not reach full size
or full favor. Observations made in
tomato fields last year. and by investi-
gators in fields of tobacco, which crop is
troubled by a very similar disease, indi-
cate that insects, although they may not
cause the disease directly, at least may
carry the disease from plant to plant and
probably from farm to farm. This fact
points to the urgent need for the control
of the flea beetle and plant lice, especially
in the seed bed. It is possible that the
screening Of the plants with cheese cloth
as is done some times where cabbage
plants are extensively grown. would be
the most satisfactory preventive. Mosaic
disease is one Of those troubles which,
like peach yellows, are very little under
stood.
