It is thus easy to tell with con- siderable certainty whether seed to be planted is affected with anthracnose. When the seed is planted in the spring the enclosed but dormant fungus is planted with it. The moisture and warmth which stirs the bean to life awakens the fungus also. In the soft and fleshy seed-leaves in which it is imbedded the mycelium finds an abundance of food and grows rap- idly, soon forming a spot or canker and producing spores which at once begin again to spread the disease to neighboring healthy Fig. 107.—Above, unsprayed; below, sprayed once with Bordeaux mixture.

Treatment of Anthracnose Seed treatment.— Soaking the seed in formalin, corrosive sublimate and other poisons, and in hot water, have been tried by different experi- menters with varying results. So far no one has been able to prevent the.
