A .udwlgt associate professor of plant >athology, and this disease is likelj o do much damage as long as it con inues dry. In normally moist sea ions there is little or no trouble usu illy from blossom-end rot. The only remedy is water. In n jarden where water can be appliec :asily, the benefit to the crop wil isually make the application we) vorth while, but where tomatoes arc frown on a commercial seufe this emedy is not usually practicable is few truckers are equipped tc rrigate. About the only thing to dc or the disease where irrigation it lot practicable is to keep the plant: veil cultivated and to hope for rain Spraying with Bordeaux mixture vhile it will do no injury and wil teip against leaf-blight which ma] ippear later cannot be sxpected t< ontroi blosaom-end rot. iyjigH iiifMKMHMHHai BIG JULY CELEBRATION IN CHERAM World War Veteran* Will Hold Cele bra tion Tuesday, July *3th ?
