tack upon the seedlings. If the weather 

 is favorably cool and moist, the diseased 

 plants may mature a partial crop, but 

 if dry, hot weather prevails, the plants 

 dry up or blight quickly. 



While these investigators have found 

 that the disinfection of seed by spray- 

 ing may be of benefit in some cases, 

 such treatment cannot as yet be recom- 

 mended for practical use. They are en- 

 deavoring to develop seed from plants 

 showing great disease resistant power. 

 In the hope of developing disease re- 

 sistant strains, they are sowing seed 

 from healthy plants which have been 

 found in. badly blighted fields.
