WATERMELON DISEASE
Anthracnose Kills the Foliage and
Causes the Fruit to Decay-May
Be Controlled by Spraying

Watermelon growers in various
sections Of the country frequently
suffer loss from a disease which
blights the foliage and spots the
fruit. The leaves are covered with
irregular dark. dead spots and may
die before the melons are ripe. The
trouble develops on the fruit in the
form Of water-soaked and later
sunken spots Of varying size, which
come To- have a pink center made up
Of masses Of the fungus spores. AS
the disease progresses the melons
decay. This is anthracnose and is
caused by parasitic fungus related
10 those which produce the apple
bitter-rot and podspot Of bean,
The fungus causing watermelon
anthracnose attacks cucumbers, con-
taloupes, and squashes, but probably
not as a rule any other cultivated
crops. Warm and moist or rainy
weather is especially favorable to
the spread and development Of anth-
racnose, and for this reason il was
morepervalent than usuallast season.
The losses were particularly severe
in some districts where melons are
grown on a large scale for carload
shipment.
Spray with Bordeaux Mixture
The Department of Agriculture has
found that the disease can be con-
trolled by spraying with Bordeaux
mixture, and trials Of this treatment
are recommended. The methods to
be employed are substantially in use
for potatoes, cucumbers, and other
truck crops. The following points
should be observed to insure success:
Use fresh homemade Bordeaux
mixture. In preparing ii, follow di-
rections exactly. as much depends
on the way the ingredients are COM
bined Use a good spray pump,
operated at a pressure Of 100 pounds
or more. Spray thoroughly. The
time Of application depends on the
weather and the development Of the
crop. The disease usually appears
when the fruit is nearly grown.
Watch carefully for the leaf-spot
and spray as soon as any appears.
In any case make an application two
weeks before maturity and second
week later.

STOCKS ARE ACTIVE

New York, November S.-Despite the
uncertainty of the result of the general
election, the stock market opened today
with a strong. broad and active under
tone. in which some new high records
were registered.
Advances ranged from l to points.
Steel's opening comprised a block of TO-
900 shares at 1241z to 124. Later the stock
reacted to 1225s.
The attendance was the largest in many
months, while crowds in the offices OF
the leading commission houses bore
strong evidence on the widespread inter-
est of spectators. Houses reported an
overnight accumulation of buying orders
chiefly from the west and southwest,
where large sums were wagered on the
success of the democratic ticket.
Buying of this character was equalized,
however, by heavy offerings of local
traders.
Declines of 1 to points followed the
strong opening. this in turn being fol-
lowed by another upward movement in
which most losses were regained. Sales
in the first half hour were estimated at
300, 900 shares
