More Enemies to CantalOupes
A Mosaic disease has been found
attacking cantaloupes and cucum-
bers in this section by Dr.. H. A
Jehle, pathologist of the University
of MARYLAND, who has been making
an inspection tour in search OF the
disease.
The disease notifies the leaves and
causes them to crinkle up. 1t can
be eradicated only by pulling up and
destroying the plants affected.
