Cucumber Wilt

Cucumber wilt is a bacterial disease
which affects the vines. Immense
numbers of bacteria grow in the sap
conducting tubes of the stems and clog
them so that the water from the roots
cannot pass up to the leaves. Conse-
quently the leaves are wilted in hot
days, even though there is plenty OF
water in the soil, and the vines be-
come sickly and stunted and soon die.
This disease must not be confused
with the injury caused by white grubs
which often eat off the root just be-
low the surface, nor with injury done
by the larvae of the striped cucumber
beetle which destroys the roots, nor
with the squash vine borer, which
also works in cucumbers. When
vine affected by bacterial wilt is
broken across, strands of Shiny, ropy
material will pull out from the broken
ends.

sucking insects which transfer the
bacteria on their mouth parts from
diseased one to healthy one. 1t is
also carried over winter in old diseased
vines and probably in the soil. These
features of the disease will indicate
the value of the following control
measures: a. Destroy all wilted
plants by burning as soon as the dis
ease is noted; (2) Burn all the old
plants in the fall to avoid possibility
of carrying the bacteria over winter.
60 Plant the cueumbers as far away
as possible from last years plot so as
to avoid contamination from the dis
eased soil. (4) Keep down sucking
insects.

insect pests and plant diseases, write

The Common
Stalk Borer

Many whitish grubs with a purplish
band about the center of the body are
being received by the Bureau of Plant
Industry, Pennsylvania Department OF
Agriculture from all over the State
These are the common stalk borers
which inhabit corn. tomatoes, potatoes
and similar vegetables and also many
weeds.
They cannot be killed; only proven
tative measures can hold them in
check. Weeds must not be allowed
to grow close to crops as they are
attractive food for this pest in its
younger stages. Crops grown on land
which has laid fallow for season
will not be bothered with this pest.
