DEADLY TOMATO PESTS.
Blight and Mosaic Disease Destroy
Plants Unless SPRAYED.

One of the deadltest and most de-
structive of the diseases that attack
tomatoes is leaf spot. scientifically
known as Septoria leaf spot The dis
ease attacks the foliage OF the entire
plant. causing tho leaves 60 curl up
and drop OF. and later Il attacks even
the fruits. which 1t rend1rs unfit for
marketing or even fov home use.
Leaf spot appears drst on the bottom
leaves as small. srsyish circular
spots. with black or dark brown bor-
ders. As II progresses the leaves turn
yellow, shrivel and die. Az the low
est leaves die those next above be-
come diseased and II the trouble 10
not checked by spraying the whole
plant will. in time. be killed. The
spores or seeds of leaf spot may be
carried from plant to plant X they
are hoed or cultivated while wet with
dew or rain.
The remedy for leaf blight is to
spray with Bordeaux mixture every
ten days or two weeks, beginning
when the plants are small. Spray the
under side Of the leaves as we'll ~
the upper side. II possible get some
ounce to use in each gallon of Bor-
deaux mixture to make the spray
stick to the foliage.
The late blight is very destructive
also and comes later In the season
II not only attacks the leaves but
also causes the fruit to rot. On the
leaves 1t shows as water soaked spots
and in moist weather quickly kills
the diseased foliage. The fruit be-
gins rotting at the stem end. This
disease Is the same that causes late
blight of potatoes. The spraying for
leaf blight will take care OF this dis
ease also.
Mosaic disease sometimes attacks
tomatoes. This causes the leaves to
become crumpled and distorted with
light green spotted portions. The
plants are unfruitful. some have very
narrow leaves If a diseased plant
touches a healthy one IL will spread
the disease to the healthy one Ia
sects. especially plant lice. carry the
disease from plant to plant. There is
no remedy except to pull up and burn
all diseased plants.
A most peculiar affection of tomato
fruits is called blossom rot be-
cause 1t appears at the blossom end
1t Is not a real disease, but seems TO
be the result OF either too wet or too
dry SOIL Have the soil well drained.
cultivate well. and In case of a long
dry spell water the plants. II possible
work some manure or decaying veee-
table matter into the soil. II plants
wilt rather suddenly and die pull
them UP and burn them. for there is
no remedy.
