TWo Kinds Of tomato wilt are com
mon Ia South Carolina, q bacterial
wilt ana q fungus wilt. IT, the first
OF these is present the best thing
to do Is TO abandon tomato culture
on the infested soil IF the second
is present, and not the first, te1na-
toes may be grown successfully If
ID wilt resistant variety isSused.4
v it IS nat. always easy to- distin-
guish between these types of witt,
ibut with care In observation 1t can
usually be done with a fair degree
OF. assurance even If no naiscroscope
is at hand. The. fungus wilt Is
characterized by a slow, ,yeilowing
and, whiting OF the leaves, beginning
with the lowest and gradually pre-
'eeed;ng upward. The tip will sone-
times be free after most Of the
lower leaves are dead II a dis
eased stem be e-eut across, a ring Of
darkene6 tissue can, be. seen just
below the bark.
The bacterial wilt does not cause
much yeIlowing OF the leaves, but
instead q whiting Of all non-woody
parts without change Of color. The
collapse is as apt to start at the tip
as at the. bottom and 1t Is usually
only a. few days after the first
symptoms show till the plant is
dead. II the stem is cut across
q. drop of milky colored sap usually
oozes out Especially II the stem be
sgueezed}. and the vascular ele-
NETS are darkened. The milky col
or OF the sap Is caused by millions
Of bacteria which 1--we in It.
Again, few or no other plants
are attacked by the fungus but q
good many are susceptible to the
bacterium. In this list are potato,
tobacco, egg plant, pepper. peanut,
ragweed, castor oil plant and 9TH
ers. On tobacco it causes the well
known Granville tobacco wilt. II
some or all Of these plants show
the disease It Is likely that the bac-
terial wilt is present II they are not
affected. the chances are that the
fungus wilt is destroying the to-
matoes.
In the case Of bacterial wilt it
viii be necessary to keep tomatoes
off the infested soft. III the case of
fungus wilt. however, one or more
of the resistant varieties originated
by the. u. 8. Department of Agri-
culture can be grown successfully,
such as Norton. tone of the best),
Arlington, NORTH and Columbia.
Sone of-the seed houses have been
handling seed Of such varieties, and
1t should rot be difficult for any
grower to get 9 supply.
