Citrus Canker Organisms Live in
Soil

The bacteria which cause citrus
canker are capable of living in the
soil after the infected citrus trees
have been destroyed, This fact
has been brought out by inyestiga-
tons Of the Plant Pathology De-
partment of the Florida Expert
|ment Station and by observations
of the employees of the State
Plant Board Wilmon Newell,
plant commissioner to the Board,
calls attention to a striking in
stance of the ability of the organ
isms to live in the soil. In
field where canker trees were de-
stroyed in July, small trifoliata
sprouts were found recently which
had just come up and which had
canker on them.
In view OF inns dangerous
phase of citrus canker infection, !"
said Mr.. Newell, "the State Plant
Board has consistently prohibited
the planting of any trees or crops
of any kind on ground where cit
rus canker has occurred, until
such time as the Board considers
the land free from danger of the
infection by the canker organisms
Land where infected trees have
grown should not be planted to
any crop whatever and should not
even be passed over or entered BY
people or livestock.

man, called a meeting at Portland
Wednesday and the subject of federal
legislation to begin the practical fer

The chairman and Secretary Mad

the conditions Of the fisheries was so
bad that this shark pest was more
ida can stand.
The chairman had placed before the
committee a form of letter to be
sent to the governors Of all the states
informing them of the destruction of
the salt water fisheries of the states.
and urging cooperation Of each state
in trying to get adequate anti-shark
legislation this term of Congress. Mr..
Davis brought Mr.. Maddocks' atten-
ton to the desirability of the attor-
ney generals of the said states stating
that this dogfish-shark pest was far
more than the states could stand
and to ask the attorney generals to
take up the case on behalf of each
of their own states. The form of the
first letter was agreed upon and Mr..
Davis letter will now go forward on
these lines.
