until after you have washed your hands with soap and water. 2. Grow your own plants because there is practically no danger of starting the disease the seed. However, if you do grow your own plants do not handle tobacco while working with the plants. 3. If a diseased plant appears in the garden, pull it out and destroy it, or at least do not work on this plant and then handle healthy plants.

This mosiac disease is caused by an infectious substance known as a virus. It is in the sap of the diseased plant and can be easily spread from plant to plant by handling or by certain suckling insects, like the plant lice. The tobacco plant may be infected with the same virus, and handling wet tobacco while working with tomato plants is an excellent means of spreading the disease. Horse nettle and ground cherry are both susceptible to this virus and, being perennial weeds, they become centers of infection if permitted to grow in the tomato patch or around the hotbed where the young plants are being grown.

Examinations were given to seventh and eighth grade students on Thursday and Friday. Students in grades 7 and 8 are not to be in school Monday and Tuesday.

There is a disease known as mosiac, which does not ordinarily kill the plant but it does stunt the growth and reduce the yields. This disease may be recognized by the mottled color and peculiar distortion of the leaves, particularly of the new growth. Mosiac is spread by handling the plant, explains the Purdue botany department. A few diseased transplants when handled in setting them out in the garden may spread the disease to several other plants. Cutting the suckers from diseased plants and then doing the same thing on healthy plants will spread the disease, it is said.
