fourteen days, while in the field 1t is
usually fourteen to twenty-five days.
The agencies of transmission of the
disease from diseased to healthy plants
are doubtless many. It has been deli
nitely proved that plant lice trans
ferred from diseased to healthy plants
will carry the disease. 1t is highly
probable that other insects will be
found to act as carriers. 1t is also
practically certain that the disease Is
spread by pickers when harvesting the
cucumbers.
Control Measures.
Judging from the nature Of the dis
ease and from the preliminary expert
ments thus far carried out, the remedi-
al measures Indicated by our present
knowledge are 1) the eradication or
control of insect pests which act as
carriers of the disease, and (2) the
application of sanitary measures to
eliminate the sources of infection. To
be most effective, these methods must
be carried out by all the farmers OF q
community.
Rigid insect control measures should
be started as soon as the plants are
up and continued throughout the sea-
son, especially previous to the begin
ming of picking, and all mosaic Oil
seased plants pulled and destroyed, as
well as plants with which they have
come in contact.
Owing to the fact that greenhouse
conditions are much more completely
under control than field conditions, II
would seem an easier task to control
the disease there. AS previously stat
ed for field control, all disease plants
should be pulled and destroyed as
soon as found and the insects should
be eradicated to prevent their spread
ing the disease.

dark green alternate. In some cases
the leaves brown and die back from
the tip.
The fruits are very conspicuouSly al
fected, being dwarfed, more or less mot
tied or blotched with areas of darker
green on background of light green,
greenish yellow, or almost white. In
the most decided cases the green areas
are raised and appear as definite warts
or protuberances, sometimes of consid-
cradle size, and the fruits take on
many abnormal shapes. In some cases
the fruits are a. most white, hence the
name white pickle" This name prob
ably is due to confusion of this dis
eased condition with the white or al
bino plants which typically bear white
colored pickles, and which have been
known to occur occasionally In fields
for many years. The discoloration and
warty condition of the fruits, which
often appear on cucumbers not more
than an inch or two long, render them
unfit for picking purposes, so that IN
addition to the great reduction In yield
caused by the disease, many, If not all,
of the fruits produced by diseased
vines are unmarketable.
In the greenhouse the disease Is
