The leafhopper itself does not cause curly top, but by feeding on infect- lants transmits the discase to healthy beets. Frequently entire fields have been ruined. Spray will not centrol the leaf- hopper. It does not eat from the surface, but feeds from the inside of the plant leaf by a long, almost minute projector. The disease virus it carries from infected plants is much smaller than bacteria. It never s been seen, even by the best in- struments of science. Pathologists Busy Because 2f its peculiar nature plant pathologists are convinced curly top can counteracted only by commercia’ use of disease-re- sistant varieties, a number of which have beea developed by gov- ernment exper:mentation and have proved successful. No wholly im- mune strains, however, have been found and }:cause of the relatively | low sugar content in resistant types authorities have hesitated to rec- ommend them to commercial grow- ers. Effort no.v is turned t> crea- tion of a sugar beet hybrid in which qualities of resistant’ types and strains highly productive of sugar are expected to be combined for ent of a suitable variety. Over a period of ten years three- fourths to four-fifths of the entire sugar outp: of continental America has been manufactured from beets, Stockholm, Dec. 20.—(?)—The United States and Sweden vie in dis- crimination between Oriental to- baccos, according to P. O. Holsti of the Swedish tobacco monopoly, back from a trip through the tobacco; growing districts of Greece. No other countries ‘1 the world, he claims, show such fastidiousnes: The United States purchases appro: imately 70 per cent of the pick of | the Oriental tobacco crop and Swi den contracts for the remaining 4 per cent. lolsti points out the fail- ure of the Swedish monopoly to pop- ularize cheap cigarettes. Many in- expensive brands consumed in great quantities on the continent have not been welcomed by Swedish smokers.
