ROTATE TOMATO PLOT
TO CHECK DISEASE

In some sections Of Louisiana it is
often difficult to raise Unsatisfactory
crop of tomatoes on GoOun. OF .hs
tomato wilt disease This disease
first attacks the roaes and then passes
up through the ygtems, causing the
plants to wilt And finally die. The
disease is readily identified by cut
ting a suspected plant. A diseased
plant has The inside of the stem more
or less blackened.
This disease can usually be kept in
check to some extent by the use of
sanitary measures, according to c.
wv. Edgerton, plant pathologist, ex-
perimnt station, Louisiana State IN
iversity. These include a system of
crop rotation and the use of uncOn-
taminated soil in the seed beds, hot
beds and cold frames. Tomatoes
should never be grown on the same
ground for more than one year out
of three, he says while three-year
rotation will not entirely eliminate the
disease, it will reduce it to point
where ac rop can be grown.
For the seed beds, hot beds and
cold frames, fresh soil should be OBJ
tanned each season, and this should
be obtained from the woods or from
some fields that has never grown to-
matoes or has received the wash from
tomato fields. By using such soil, the
tomato plants will be healthy when
set in the field. If infected soil is
used in the seed beds many of the
plants will be infected before trans
planting and the chances are that
large percentage of the plants will die
before making any fruit. Much of the
loss from tomato wilt in this state
is due to the fact that the young
plants have been grown in infected
soil.

NV Dear Sir:-I have been advised

vertisements for a period of eight
weeks in your journal will soon be
made to the effect Of preliminary

This project, as you are no doubt
aware. is the same which has been un-
der consideration for some time IN
connection with "gravityy-irrigation"
for the rice lands of southwestern
Louisiana, and the incidental devel-
opment of hydro-electric power for
industrial developments. as we'll as
supplying inland navigation for th9
prairies Of southwest Louisiana, ahd
connecting with Red River on the
north, and with the intra-coas3aI canal
on the south by the CalcTsieu and
Mermenteau rivers.
as per amendmeYs to the state
constitution, the rate board of en-
gineers will hay jurisdiction in the
matters of saYSy of construction and
manipulation Of the states waters, and
equitable distribution OF same, while
the fedefal government will have gen
eral Jurisdiction of the fowage Of
waters into the natural streams which
affect navigation.
The location of one of the most i'm
portant power plants" in which your
section is principally interested will
be at some convenient point about the
head of Bayou Courtableau where the
bed of the stream is su. .ciently deep
and wide in order to carry off the
discharge from the turbines in the
generation of electric power.
This will solve the most vital ques-
tions for your immediate community,
that power of development, as we'll as
supplying large quantities of fresh wa
ter to the many rice planters along the
Courtableau and Bayou Teche.

conserved in a large reservoir, and dur
