Hand- picking and dusting or spraying with Paris green are effective. Pole-burn appears as dark spots near the middle rib or veins of the leaves, and may spread very rapidly. Careful application of heat and ventilation of the sheds to reduce humidity are the remedies. Root-rot (Thielavia basicola).—This fungus occurs most in seed-beds where it may be de- stroyed by sterilizing the soil with heat or for- malin before the seed is sown. In the held, proper rotation of crops, drainage, the application of lime and fertilizers are suggested. Calico disease is not fully understood. Good cultivation, fertilization and favorable growing conditions are remedies. Literature. J. Carver, Culture of the Tobacco Plant, London ; John H. Cooke, Tobacco; .J. L. P.
