I prepared by the United States Depart

| Tobacco wilt, which has proved TO
pc destructive disease in the ilue-
cured tobacco district can be con
irolled through crop rotations and the
| exclusion Of infection from drainage,
from fertilization and from the use of
Infected implements. This has been
brought out by experiments carried on
py specialists of the department for Il
series of years.
The disease is exceedingly destruc-
tive, causing the plant to die outright
and frequently resulting in practical
~ complete failure of the crop. 1t
produces symptoms in the leaves, the
stalk, and the roots of the tobacco
plant. The more prominent features
are Il characteristic umbrellaliEe
dropping of the leaves the presence
OF a yellowish 70 black discoloration
IN the woody portion of the stalk
(Showing AS streuks when the bark is
stripped off), the presence Of a Shiny
ooze when the stalk is cut across with
n knife, and Il decided decay of ihe
root system.
The wilt is caused by an organism
which enters the plant through the
root and eventually brings about n
plugging OF the vessels, thus cutting
on the water supply from the leaves
ana causing them to wilt and perish.
Fertilizers, cultural methods, weather
conditions, and the like may influence
the extent or progress of the disease.

decidedly more destructive in relative. /

lieved that where the Infection * nras.
ent chief dependence must be placed
on decreasing its destructive efforts
by the use of rotations. Where the
Wit is not present, steps should be
taken, OF course, to prevent infection
reaching the soil.
IN the tests made BY the department
II was found that by cropping badly
infested land for five years with crops
not affected by wilt the injury to the
tobacco from the disease was reduced
from 50 10 less than 10 per cent
