Dangerous New Corn Virus
Discovered in South Texas
A'

conditioned area of the

By Robert L. Haney
TAES Science Writer
A dread virus, infecting
corn, previously unknown in
the U.S., was first discovered
in June 1976 by scientists in
the Lower Rio Grande Valley
near Weslaco.
The tropical disease, called
Maize Rayado Fino Virus
(MRFV), causes heavy losses
in corn production in Costa
Rica and Guatemala.
The unwelcome new dis-
ease was detected by a rou-
tine annual survey, set up by
the Texas Agricultural Exper-
iment Station, to reveal new
virus diseases and determine
the severity of known viruses
in the State.
Scientists were alerted in
other states and MRFV was
also found in December 1976

The virus was first thought
to be transmitted only by the
black-faced leaf-hopper, ac-
cording to Dr. R. W. Toler,
virologist with the Texas Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station
(TAES), and one of the dis-
coverers of the disease in the
U.S.
Both the nymphs and
adults transmit the disease.
The host range of this leaf-
hopper is only corn and Teo-
sinte (Enchlaena mexicana).
Now, another insect, Gra-
minella nigrifrom, also has
been found to be spreading
the disease. And this insect is
abundant all over Texas and
as far north as Ohio. The con-
cern of Toler and his fellow
^scientists is that this insect
could spread the disease into
all the major corn growing
areas of the U.S.
Even worse, Toler says, be-
cause this insect feeds on a
host of grain and cereal
plants, the potential is there
to spread the virus into other
crops.
Symptoms of the disease
are vivid, fine chlorotic (yel-
low and dying) spots and
short stripes on veins in the
leaf of the plant.
This virus (MRFV) was
first detected in corn in 1969
in Costa Rica. Since then, it
has been found in El Salvador
and other corn growing
regions of Central America.
To counter the threat of
this disease, Experiment Sta-
tion scientists are checking
corn varieties used in breed-
ing, for resistance to the vi-
rus. They are also surveying
wild grasses, including John-
songrass, to see if any of
them harbor the disease.
Other species of the grass
family that corn belongs to
(Graminaea) are being
checked for both susceptibili-
ty and resistance to the dis-
ease. This includes wheat,
rye, barley, rice, sugarcane,
On Dec. 7, 1787, Delaware
became the first of the orig-
inal 13 states to ratify the
Constitution.
Funeral
CORNELIA KINARD
Services were held Monday
for Mrs. Cornelia L. Kinard,
77, a retired nurse who died
Saturday at a Gunter nurs-
ing home.
Mrs. Kinard was born in
winnsboro, the daughter of
the late Mr. and Mrs. Willie
John Stobb. She was a
member of the college Hill
Church of Christ in Gunter.
Among the survivors is a
sister, Mrs. M.E. Blake of
Howe.
and sorghum.
Early detection of the dis-
ease gives scientists in this
country some advantage and
there is widespread coopera-
tion in devising methods to
combat this threat. Coopera-
tion between experiment sta-
tions is organized under the
Southern Regional Corn and
Sorghum Virus Disease Re-
search Project.

Off Thanks
We, the Senior Citizens of
Howe, would like to express
our gratitude to all who had
a part in providing us with
the nice building known as
the SNAP Center.
It is a place that we as a
community can come to-
gether in fellowship. A place
to meet new friends, to care
and have concern for one
another.
We play dominos, forty-
two, quilt, sew, or watch TV.
Some prefer to just sit and
talk. The food is nutrious
and well-planned to meet
our needs. Those who fail to
come are the losers.
A big thank you to Nita
Tolbert, our Site manager,
and Linda Thompson, Assis-
tant Site manager, for their
kindness, thoughtfulness
and enthusiasm.
To all of these the Snappers
say thanks.
