This disease and Fusarium wilt frequently occur In the same fields. The Norton tomato is resistant to the Fusarium wilt but varieties markedly resistant to western yellow blight have not yet been developed.

These smooth, plump, gray or brownish attack the caterpillars In the plant both tomato young plants In set when bed and the field, usually cutting them off near the surface of the ground. One cutworm can destroy many more plants In a single night than it can devour. By reason of their destructive attacks resetting is frequently necessary. The best control' measure is the use of what is termed poisoned bait, made Among as follows: To one peck of dry bran, add four ounces of white arsenic or paris green and thoroughly mix. Then add two quarts of cheap molasses diluted with enough water to make a crumbly, wet mash. Allow the mash to stand for several hours and then scatter it thinly about the base of the plants late in the evening. Make applications as long as the cutworms are active and damaging the plants. In the control of cutworms It Is a good plan to apply the poisoned bait before the crop is set out or before it appears above ground. Applications at such times will destroy many of the, worms before the plants are susceptible to attack.
