WILT-RESISTENT TOMATOES 
The loss caused by tomato-wilt is 
increasing each year. Wilt is a fun- 
gus that lives in the soil and in- 
vades the plant through its roots. 
When diseased tomato vines. are 
plowed under, they only serve to in- 
crease the infection. In the early 
stages of the disease, the leaves 
curl; later they turn yellow, begin- 
ning 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.
