ABOUT PREVENTION OF
TslE STEM-END ROT
Difficulty Found by Watermelon
Growers and How
Caused by Fungus
EXPERIMENTS IN SUMMER
WERE VERY SATISFACTORY
Caused by a Fungus Which i
Common in Southern
Fields.
Washington, D. C., Jan.U>.?\V?.
teunclon stein rot result J in a deca.
oi' the melon, at the stem end, wait
usually develops during tranche i
market, The nivsetigauons of ti.
U. S. Department or Aerkuttur
have shown that the cause is a tun
gus which is common in many souti
ern fields on" dead stalks of cottei
corn, and many weeds, as weil as o.
decaying melons. The spores of thi
fungus are blown about by the wir.t
and lodge on the moist cut end of th
melon stem alter it is severed 1'ron
the vine, germinate, and grow intth.e
melon, which often begins to de
cay within three days.
The experiments made last sum
mer on several carloads of melonoffer
good hopes that this stem-en
v?u mii iw. nr.ivnntod. The method I
recommended by the Departing it ol
Agriculture are as follows:
(1) Cut and burn all weeds around
the field and along ditch banks during
the winter.
1,2) From the time that the melons
set on the vines, all cull fruit should
be hauled out of the field weekl}
and feu to hoes, or deeply buried.
Wash tiro wagons used for hauling
culls with a two par cent bluestone
solution.
(3) Spraying with Bordeaux mixture
for anthracnose will probably
help control stem-end rot.
(4) Laborers harvesting melons
should never cut or touch a decayed
melon.
(5) Cut melons with long stem?
and load into cars with the least
possible delay and with the utmost
care in hand liner, to avoid hmisifiir.
Open car ventilators.
(6) Most important of al|, apply a
paste made of common starch with
six per cent bluestone to the freshly
cut sterns as the melons are being
packed in the car. It has been found
that disinfecting the stems at other
times is less effective, as tlie paste
is nibbed off by handling.
As the packer arranges the melons
in tiers, have him place the stem t
ends outward, while a reliable boy
cuts off a section of the stem ar.d
applies a covering of paste with a i
small, round brush. |
(7) Freight cars that have con '
tainerl dceaye 1 melons or yard re ,
fuse should be washed clean ant'
sprayed with a two per cent blue !
stone solution.

IS YOUR BOY IN AN
AGRICULTURAL CLUB?
mm
V
Clemson College, S. C.?The parents
of a large number of South
Carolina boys are going to have the
opportunity this year of encouraging
their boys to stay on the farm by
cooperating with them in their corn
and pig club work,
The boys will have an acre of land
planted in com. On this acre they1
will raise corn to feed their pigs.
Tt is important that the parents
;ive the boy whatever assistance is
leedcd in the way of good land and
earns with which to work their crop.1
Don't shove off on him the poorest
icrc of land on the farm. Give him
the best. And don't stop there. Give
him the benefit of your experience in
growing corn by advising with him
about eve'-y little thing concerning
corn growing. Also help him in this
way to raise a good pig. This seems i
like a mighty, little bit to ask of a !
father, but it is of great importance j
and it will work to the advantage of j
both parties. Before you know it
you and your son will become as
"chummy as school boys," and, he
will not think of leaving the farm if,
the profits of his industry are allow-1
ed to go into his own pocket. Advise
him to start a bank account.
