for several seasons you will starve the insect out. The other 

 remedy is to leave the land idle for two or three years. The 

 following vegetables can be grown on infested land and 

 make fair crops : cabbage, cauliflower, lettuce, tomatoes and 

 beets, but okra, cucumbers, cantaloupes and watermelons 

 cannot be grown on it. This disease is usually distributed 

 by plants grown on infested land, therefore if the trucker 

 will be careful not to plant any diseased plants, he should 

 not be bothered with it. You will never find new land 

 infested with it, therefore it should not worry any one 

 clearing or planting this class of land, only using the pre- 

 cautions I have advised, to see that he does not bring it 

 from some infested tract.
