wilt rapidly and do not recover.
There is no prevention and no
cure.
If you are unfortunate enough
to have your vegetable garden
seriously damaged by lightning
the best thing to do is to sow
seed of the short season crops
(such as snapbeans) again and
try to root cuttings of the long
season ones. Tomato cuttings,
for example, root easily. Large
unchanged sections of tomato
plants could be rooted in moist
sand and then transplanted to the
garden in a very short time.

Lightning Held
Peril to Vegetables

Lightning injury to vegetable
gardens sometimes causes alarm
during the summer months. If
lightning strikes the ground, a
tree or post in or near a garden,
the results are often disastrous
as far as the vegetables are con-
cerned. Stems of plants may be
scorched at the ground line.
When cut open the pith inside
the stem may be chambered and
appears as if large bubbles of
steam formed inside the stem.
The injured plants may be in a
roughly circular area or in an
irregular line following the direc-
ton of the lightning along the
ground.
Lightning injury to plants is
most severe when the surface of
the soil is moist and the sub soil
is dry. In such cases the charge
