R GARDEN. . By. Horry L. Pree Tomatoes, Blighted by Wet | ~~ Weather, Need Fertilizer

\ "Tomato plants in the Victory Garden have taken an awful beating, judging by reports coming to this editor.. Wet and cold weather, gen- . eral throughout the country, following a rather early and warm spring, caused & leaching away of much of the available nitrogen from the area about the plant roots. This loss of plant food is indicated by the yelJowing of the lower leaves on many tomato piants.

direct contact with the plant or the roots, which, due to the wet. season have formed very near Mr. Pree the surface. Cultivation should be light and water should be applied if rain does not follow spreading of the fertilizer. Straw mulches are ad- . vised in conserving moisture and to eliminate the root injury which is frequently the cause of leaf curl. Top pruning also causes the lower leaves to curl . Foliage Diseases Due to the wet season, tomato plants are bound to be infected with the two foliage diseases, Alternaria and Septoria leaf blight, which .- are already causing a great deal of damage. This disease can be partially controlled by use of fixed copper dusts or sprays. Dusts which contain 7 per cent insoluble copper are most generally used. The dusts ghould be applied in the morning while the dew is on and, if the wet weather persists, it will be necessary to make five or six applications

But the same rule “holds as for chicken—can it only if you raise it yourself or can get your supplies nearby and cheaply. Use only a steam- canner. It is not safe to can meat in a boiling-water bath, an oven, a steamer without pressure, or an open kettle. : 1f you use tin cans for your fowl, use plain ones, in good condition’ Tin cans call for‘a sealer.

Blossom end rot is

caused by a sudden withdrawal of moisture from the tip of tomato fruit. These sudden withdrawals come most. frequently when the tomato plant is started with an abundant supply of moisture, which is suddenly cut off. With the roots formed near the surface of the soil, it is quite likely that the moisture supply will be sharply reduced when the surface soil dries out. As already indicated, this can be partially controlled by the use. of straw or, better, clover hay mulches. Many tomato - diseases are easily | recognized, but others may be hard | to identify. - When there is any | question as to the diagnosis, it is| best to consult your local garden expert or county agricultural agent, or send specimens to the state agricultural college.
