WILT IN TOMATOES
During the past week there
have been numbers of tomato
growers bringing in specimens
of diseased tomato plants. In
almost every case the owners
of the plants have said they
were of the Gulf State varie-
ty. : . - J
As far as treatment is con-
cerned. there is nothing that
can be done for them now.
The time to start working on
wilt in tomatoes is before the
seed is ever planted and the
treatment is very simple—buy
wilt resistant plants or wilt
resistant varieties and treat
the pure seed with, corrosive
sublimate. So far as the writer
knows Marglobe variety is
the only variety of tomatoes
this is wilt resistant. In addi-
tion to planting wilt resistant
plants it is suggested that
they be planted on land that
has not had a crop of toma-
toes grown on it for some
time.
Most of the other diseases
of tomatoes can be controlled
to some extent by the use of
^Bordeaux mixture, it must be
understood that Bordeux mix-
ture is a preventative and not
a cure and that it must be
applied before Or as soon as
the very first signs Of disease
are seen. Apply at the rate of;
6 to 8 pounda.per fifty gal-,
ions ot water every two weeks
until two weeks before ripen-
ing. For the control of peata
which have biting mouth
parts use arsenate of lead at
the rate of 2*.i to 3 pounds
per fifty gallons of water. 4. iSong—by fin* and sec-

J. M. Parks, being unable to
give a talk, got a very wor-
thy substitute in the person
of Mr. Madison of Houston,
who talked mainly in behalf
of the Agricultural Class of
people. Lunch was served on
the grounds by P. T. A. mem-
bers. The remainder of the
evening was spent in various
amusements. The girls’ indoor
