Washington, June 81 serious
disease of watermelons, known as the
wilt. has for many years been preva-

Cause and Symptoms.
Watermelon wilt is caused by a fun
gus growth which lives in the soil and
enters the roots, plugging up the
water-carr3ing vessels and preventing
the rise OF moisture, thus causing the
whiting and death of the plant. The
leaves OF affected plants first drOop,
then rapidly wilt and soon die, the
runner dying with them. Upon cut
ting the main tap root across near
the surface of the ground ii will be
found to present a yellow color in the
wood. making distinct contrast with
the white color of the healthy plant
