MILDEW ON MUSTARD. 



I ;im sending you some mustard 

 oiiiwii in our f^reeiiliouses. There is a 

 white siilistance on the under side of 

 the leaves. ] should like to know what 

 it is. I am .also sending some soil for 

 examination. 1 have grown radishes, 

 tomatoes, cucumbers and lettuce in the 

 greenhouses for the liist two years and 

 h;ive used nothing but well rotted cow 

 iiiaiiure for fertilizer. Ts this soil good 

 fur those crops.' M. (,'. M. Okla. 



The \vliit(> substance on the lea\es is 

 undoulitedly mildew. It usually comes 

 when jilants are <'xposed to cold 

 drafts. To ;iv(dd it, ventilate carefully, 

 opening the \ ciitilators Just a little at 

 a time. The soil seems heavy and prob 

 nlilv a change from cow manure to well 

 decaved horse nianiiie would gradually 

 lighten and improve it. It would be 

 ^till further iiii|iroved by rotating cro])s. 

 digging the soil in the beds deejily and 

 uiviiig it, if necessary, a steam stt-rili/.a 

 tion to get rid of the pests, weed seeds 

 and fungoid afl'oclions before ])laiiting 

 the fall crops. <^ W.
