Tobacco Growers
Hit by Disease
Most Common Ailment Is
Known as Damping-O Off or
Bed-Rot in Seed Bed.


prspsrsd By the United States Dspartmsn,
Of Agriouiture-)
Conservative estimates place thu
annual loss TO tobacco growers from
diseases at $25.O00,OO0, and controlling
them is one Of the biggest problems
the planters have to contend with. All
tobacco areas do not have the same
troubles In the same degree, as there
are differences In their climates and
the kinds OF tobacco they grow. In
cooperation with the University of
Wisconsin, the United States Depart
Inent OF Agriculture has prepared q
bulletin that has just been issued as
Department Bulletin 1885, Tobacco
Diseases and Their Control.
Origin in Plant Bed.
A great number of diseases that
cause serious damage In the field, says
the bulletin, have their origin in the
plant bed. Preventive measures, there
fore, should be used In the preparation
of the seed beds. The most common
of these diseases is known as damping-
off or bed-rot.
In the case of black root-rot the most
serious injury follows transplanting to
infested soils, although frequently
much injury results from the occur
renee of this disease in plant beds and
the subsequent transplanting of In
fected plants to disease-free soils.
The mosaic disease of tobacco,
which is very rarely noted or regarded
as of any Importance in the plant beds.
usually originates, however in the seed
beds. Its presence there is largely re-
sponsible for the general field infec-
lions frequently observed in many sec
lions.
Several Bacterial Diseases.
Recently 1t has been shown that sew
eral bacterial diseases, such as wild
fire, black-fre, and Wisconsin leaf-spot,
some Of which are very important In
the districts where they occur. are in
practically all instances traceable to
plant bed infection. Many other dis |
eases Of tobacco may also make their !
first appearance In the seed bed.
The production of plants for trans
planting entirely free from such dis
eases as mosaic, wild-fire, and black
fire is, therefore, highly important, !
since at no other point can their pre-
vention be accomplished more eff
GENTLY or economically.
In the field as well as in the seed
bed the principles of control for all
diseases caused by bacteria or fungi
consist essentially in preventing in
lection either by eliminating the para
site or else by safeguarding the host
plants from its attack by spraying or
by the use of resistant varieties. For
diseases the principles Of
control lie in seeking to correct or to
lvoid the unfavorable soil or climatic
conditions to which these diseases are
sue.
Copies of the bulletin may be had
rec as long as the supply lasts, by

ure at Washington. d. @.

STATE SOLDIER BONUS
BILL WILL BE PRESSED
Maryland Veterans Also to Consid-

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, January 17.-Col.
D. John Markey of Frederick. chairman
Of the legislative committee of the
American Legion in Maryland. has
called a meeting for next Tuesday at
Annapolis to consider a veterans re-
lief measure and the state soldier bonus
bill.
The relief measure is to be framed
similar to that in effect in West Vir-
ginia. w. s. Lloyd. Department Of
Maryland adjutant. said this would
involve no great outlay for the state.
but would fill a need long felt by every
body who has had'any contact with the
unemployed or otherwise unfortunate
veterans. He said it would provide only
for helping men who have temporary
needs and who now often suffer for
lack of money, which they usually are
willing to pay back.
Mr.. Lloyd believes it is likely to pass.
The allowance is for $40 a month for
every month of service in the United
States and $12 month for every
month of service overseas.
