BLIQHT ON TOMATOES. 



I have mailed you a Ponderosa to- 

 mato and a piece of the vine and 

 should like to have you give your 

 opinion as to the disease it is affected 

 with. I would call it either bligWi or 

 rust, caused by the damp, inclement 

 weather. All are affected alike. I have 

 grown them on the same ground be- 

 fore, with j^o bad results. I had some 

 this year (So. fresh soil, but they were 

 affected the same way. Please let me 

 hear from you as soon as possible. 



C. M. K.— Wis. 



This is evidently a bacterial blight, 

 prol^bly caused in the main by the in- 

 clement weather which we had during 

 a large part of the summer. The trouble 

 might be aggravated by growing the 

 tomatoes in the same ground in suc- 

 cessive seasons. It is always best to 

 give this vegetable a fresh location 

 each year. . For bacterial affections of 

 an acute nature, such as this, we are 

 really without any remedy. It may 

 never recur again with you, but, to 

 guard against a possibility of its recur- 

 rence, I would carefully collect and 

 burn all the plants and fruits, as va- 

 rious insects are known to disseminate 

 the bacilli which cause the trouble. 

 Therefore, clean the ground well, give 

 it a dressing of lime, plow it and leave 

 it rough over winter. Botate your crops 

 regularly and, given suitable soil and 

 normal summers, you should not have 

 this blight again. C. "W.
