WILT-RESISTANT TOMATOES 
The loss caused by tomato wilt is 
increasing each year. Wilt is a fungus 
that lives in the soil and invades the 
plant through its roots. When diseased 
tomato vines are plowed under they 
only serve to increase the infection. 
In the early stages of the disease the 
leaves curl, later they turn yellow, be¬ 
ginning at the bottom of the plant 
which slowly dies, usually about the 
time the fruits are half grown. No 
amount of spraying will do any good— 
the only means of controlling wilt is to 
grow wilt-resisting varieties.
