We have been fumigat- ing for plant lice and are wondering if this smoke has any effect on the plants or if tomato plants have a disease such as thia. Kindly advise us. W. B.—111. If yoM use tobacco stems for fumigat- ing purposes, in all probability an over- dose has scorched the tomato foliage. This is most likely to occur on warm evenings. There is always less likeli- hood of injury when cool nights are selected. It is always advisable to ventilate early in the morning follow- ing a fumigation, and, to lessen likeli- hood of injury, spraying overhead be- fore the sun strikes the plants is ad- vantageous. As a general rule, toma- toes are never syringed and should have a dry atmosphere, but a spraying of cold water will do no harm and may prevent injury. I would suggest the desirability of using one of the nicotine papers as being much safer than tobacco stems and it is surely much more pleasant to fumigat* with them. C. W. CINCINNATI, O. The Market.
