1 Bacterial blight and anthracnose included with decay. 



2 Caused by Xanthomonas phaseoli. 



3 Caused by Sclerotinia spp. 



4 Caused by Rhizoctonia solani. 



Beets 



5 Caused by Colletotrichum Hndemuthianum. 



6 Caused by Erninia carotovora. 



7 Caused by Rhizopus spp. 



Nearly 10,500 carlots of beets were unloaded during the 7-year 

 period. Truck shipments, most of which originated in New York 

 (Long Island and elsewhere). New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, con- 

 stituted 71 percent of all unloads. The rest (29 percent) were rail 

 shipments, practically all of which were from Texas and Virginia.
