There are two different wilt < eases which we frequently meet witn in- gardens and in fields where tomatoes are grown, the bacterial wilt and thc^ fungus - wilt. L/ ; " 7 ' Bacterial Wilt;—This disca-c : is the most widespread and de structive of the wilts. It is read ily recogni/.ed by the way that the disease affects the plant. • The disease makes its first ap pearance by-beginning with the leaves at the top of the plant or At the end of the branches. These end leaves wilt tirst and the disease gradually works its way back until the entire plant is ef fected, wilts and dies'. The bac teria which cause this disease lives mid works in the water ducts and vessels of the stem* of the roots in such numbers that they plug up these vessels and tut uff the circulation, ol water.. The bacteria . live over from one season to the next in the soil and tte disease is spread during the growing*seasdn chiefly by leaf eating ins cts and by bacte ria carried in the soil and water from the old diseased plants to healthy plants, • . Preventive Measures.—When > the disease first appears the dis- < t-h! plants should be pulled up and funned.

The lower leaves turn yellow and wilt much more grad- uaily than where the plant is af- fyctcii^ with th.e bacterial, wilt; ami iii fact the plant mdy have a lingering death of two or three wecks^while in the case of bac terial wiit it ,dies in about so uviuy dajs.. The fungus that caused this w ilt will remain alive ii» the soil for a number of years. I.KAK DISEASES. There are several destructive disease’s of tomatoes which oc-^ cur chiefly upon the leaves aud aleuid. These are known ‘as Jraf spots or leaf blights accord ing to the amount of damage they do. These can be recog* wiwd by the grey, brown Qr pur gml when the tomatoes are smali- and extending as the’Tiuit ein la,rgcs until tjiu entire ‘ Com a to is involved. In case of the'soft rot, which -is,caused (\>f the corn ear /worm/boring dntp the .fruit* the entire • tomato turns brown and finaUv breaks down with a soft mushy rot. Tluy hole where the_\yoriYi entered cajuhfi easily seen and* in the ; early stages the wbmi can be found inside. The. fungus rot appeal's bn definitely diseased areas or rotten, spots over the surface of the fruit. These spots gradually increase in -t/e until the whole fruit is_ involved. Measures.
