Crop rotation is tho only method which will fi'ive satisfactory results in (on.

Irish potato, and peanuts. ling weed which is very common in the flue-cured district, also s attacked by the wilt and it is imports nt, therefore, that this weed be kept down and if possible eradicated. The ( i ops shown by the tests to gi.e satisfactory results in rotations are cor cotton, wheat, rye (as a cover qrop' sweet potatoes, cov peas, gl asses, red ch vor, and crimson clover. Oats we ' net included in the tesls but if doe not seim likely that this crop is a" footed by the wilt. Five-Year Rotation Recommended. The tests made by the Department of Agriculture indicate that on badly infested land the growing of crops not rhacked by wilt for four or five years will give better results than only three years of such cropping. The tl.ree-year period, however, greatly reduced the amount of wilt. The specialists believe that on badly infested soil a good general rule is not to j grow tobacco oftener than once in , every five years. After the disease j has been brought under control, hew- ' ever, tobacco probably may be grown safely every fourth year. Under n% circumstances should two crops of to baeco bo grown in succession on in- ' frsted soil To keep the wilt off farms not aire .uly infested it is reommended that seed beds bo thoroughly burned to :r- J uve complete steril'zoticn ami tlud | crrc bo taken not to allow surf a o? ' drainage from infested farms to rea< h ' the seed bod or the tobacco land. ' Great caution should be used in so- ( curing plants or farming implements j from farms on which the wilt is pros- , o't. Tobacco fctalks or stems from in fostod farms should not be used as a j fertilizer on healthy soils. Every' effort should be made to prevent infested soil or diseased plant materia! in any form from reaching the farm. j Symptom of Tobacco Wilt. Tobacco wilt produces definite symp toms in the leaves, the stalks, and the roots of the tobacco plant. When plants are attacked the leaves droop in an umbrella-like manner and the stalk shows yellowish to black streaks when the bark is stripped. When dis cased stalks are cut across with a ' knife, slimy ooze appears. The disease also brings about decided decay of the root system. The organism responsible for the disease enters the plant through the root and eventual-y brings about a plugging of the vessels, thus cutting off the water supply from the leaves and causing them to perish. In experiments carried on by the Department of Agriculture various acids, alkalis, and neutral salts, including fertilizer materials, were applied to the soil by varying methods and in varying quantity, and a large number of germicides were used. Subsoil in g with the plow and by use of dynamite was also employed to see if such treatment would reduce the amount of wilt. In none of these test.-, wet the lesults sufficiently encouraesmr to hold out hone of controlling tac disease, and crop rotation therefore is believed to be the only pwo(Trtibly remedy. o Secretary Brlcer t^d.ay rcdiw ' f.-om 2? years to 20 years and n" Mentha the minimum a;;o for s' dents ;n the third of ice: s' tiohy csmp. which is to be opened in .T: uf.ry for ede.lcd men.
