TOMATO DISEASE SHOWNJYRDMER Scientific Selection of Blight Free Seed Since 1932 Bringing Results at Tal ent Experiment Station Opening with th astounding fltet- ment that in many tomato fields of the valley the loss this year due to tip -blight would run from 45 to 80 per cent- Professor P. C. Reimer yes terday afternoon ahowed a group of businessmen and members of tne county court the remarkable results obtained in scientific selection of blight-free seed since 1932, when the work was first started, at the county experiment station near Talent. Pipf. Reimer first showed the group s field of tomatoes planted from ordinary commercial seed. Over half of the field had been withered and destroyed by the blight. In another field about an acre in extent, where election bad been used, the lose due to blight was about eight per cent. Same Iteslstant Seed The Professor then showed the men how the results had been obtained. ' in ivii a crop ox tomatoes was pi ant ed from ordinary commercial seed. By the end of the year only la plants of the entire seeding remained unaf fected by the blight, and seeds were taken from these plants and planted ogfUn the next year. In 1033, a whole mw ?,!.inti onnarfintlv Immiltw to the disease was the reault. Seeds from this row were planted again last year. i The vield Inst vear showed about I half as much blight as the ordinary I commercial seed, check rows Indi cated. The best plants from last year's crop were seeded over a one acre tract this year, and the result showed only about eight per cent dis eased, a reduction from SO, per cent of blighted plants three years before. Experiments were being made year ly to see what variety produced the ! heaviest yield, also taking into con sideration the size, firmness and color of the fruit. Results are shown In the long rows of 25 plants each, of differ ent varieties, now ready for harvest at the station, ltosults Are Plain While In one row of selected seed there was only one affected plant, in ft check row adjacent, planted with ordinary Indiana commercial seed, 14 of the 25 plants were ruined by the blight. In commenting upon the sit uation. Professor Reimer said that the blight Is peculiar to this district, not being found in Indiana where most of the seed planted here Is raised, nor even In the Willamette valley. The one-acre field of almost blight- free tomatoes will be devoted for seed purposes this year. Prof. Reimer Indi cated. He surprised his audience when he stated that one plant will yield enough seed to plant an acre of to matoes, and the experiment farm will be able to provide enough blight -resistant seed this vear to aumiw th demand In the entire valley or about 60 pounds. Asked if the results in bringing the blight toll down from an average of about 60 per cent of tho tftfttotal crop In 1032 to leas than eight per cent in iuao would continue un til there wna no longer a blight men ace In the valley, the Professor stated that he foresees such a condition within the next few years. YVIII Aid Industry With an end to the blight menace, tomato growing should prove a tre mendously profitable venture here, according to O. O. Alenderfer, an of ficial of the Dngley Canning company of Ahhland, one of thcuc present Alenderfer stated that good tomatoes will bring H3 ton. Proressor Reimer estimated that as a result of his ex periments with the choicest plants, he will be able to produce a one-acre field which will yield 20 tons a year. His one-acre field this year will pro duce better than 10 tons, he ewti mated.
