years report specialists of the Ore
gon State college experiment station
who have been attempting to solve
this new malady which causes many
thousands of dollars damage annu
ally.
Although this particular disease is
now confined, so far as known, to the
southern Oregon district, the work
being done with it illustrates the
many angles followed in “hunting
down” any new disease.
At present J. A. Milbrath, gradu
ate student, working with Dr. Frank
P. McWhorter, plant pathologist at
the central station, is engaged in a
technical laboratory and greenhouse
study of the actual nature of this
virus disease, its means of transmis
sion and other necessary facts. They
are also studying the biological pha
ses of the disease as it appears un
der field conditions and in experi
mental plots in southern Oregon.
Meanwhile, F. C. Reimer, super
intendent of the Southern Oregon
branch experiment station at Ta
lent, has carried through several
generations a selection project which
has produced a strain of the favorite
commercial variety which has shown
marked resistance to the disease
when grown in the station plots.
Further field trials with the re-
strain are planned in coop-
e it io with growers next year to
ine whether the resistance is
enough to remain consistent

This disease was first Investiga

“a bad case of wilt” was prevalent
in tomato fields in southern Oregon.
Studies by Dr. McWhorter proved
successively that it was neither com
