Reports "serious loss to cabbage, cauliflower, and ruta-baga 

 crops in the State for several years." At Sutherland in 

 February, 1908, "an examination of the fields showed that the 

 black rot was prevalent throughout the section, destroying from 

 25 to 75 per cent of the crops. Cultures made from diseased 

 plants revealed the presence of yellow bacteria (Pseudomonas 

 campestris) in specimens of the three plants named."
