"In . many regions once famous for watermelon growing this crop has been given up because of the heavy losses caused by the watermelon wilt disease «which lives over in the soil for several years. The Con-- queror variety is resistant to this disease and can be grown on wilt-- infected soil where other varieties fail." "In many parts of the state fusa-- rium wilt has taken a heavy toll in the tomato crop, but a number of ~wilt--resistant varieties," such as Illinois New Century, Illinois Im-- perial, Marvel, Norton, Arlington, Columbia ~and Nordolfike, are now available and will produce profitable crops on infected soil," Sayre stated. Among the most important of these disease--resistant strains, as far as Il-- linois growers are concerned, are the yellow--resistant strains of cab-- bage, Sayre said. Phroughout the state cabbage growers have suffered heavy losses from cabbage yellows disease, he explained. The disease lives in the soil for more than twelve years and until the devel-- opment of the _ yellows--resistant strains, fields once infecter could not be used for cabbage or related crops for a long period of~ years. However, yellows--resistant strains of several varieties,( such as Wisconsin, All Seasons, ' Wisconkin -- Brunswick and Wisconsin Hollander, have now been developed and will .produce good crops on yellows--infected soil where ordinary varieties would fail. _of these crops and is making it pos-- sible --for them to grow profitable yields_ on land where ordinary strains would be a total loss because of plant diseases, C. B. Sayre, assist ant chief of olericuiture at the Col-- lege of Agriculture, University of 11-- linois, today told members of the Illinois State Horticultural Society in addressing their sixty--ninth an-- nual convention being held here. The use of these disease--resistant strains is the only practicable field method of producing profitable crops on .soils that are infected with plant diseases which live ip the soil and attack through the roots, he said. It has taken years of selection and I;;:eding to develop these strains, he added. ® Urbana, I!!., Dec. 19.--Plant breea-- Ing has come to the aid of cabbage, tomato, ' asparagus, spinach, water melon, and muskmelon growers by giving them disease--resistant strains Farmers'Strenqthen Crops Against Disedse; Grow Profitable Crops. _ Born was arrested by Chief otf Po-- |lice Frank Tiffany when he went to Chester Sankiowios's drug store in North Chicago, ordered a maltad milk and drank it, then said he had no money to pay for it.
