Cure for Diseased Plants
Found in Fumes of Sulfur
Seattle. June 19. (JP) Science launched a new move in
agriculture here today by demonstrating a method to cure a
diseased plant of what had been a mortal plant illness.
The universal method of treat-1
ing plant and crop diseases nas nnnilll
been prevention. Sick crops U U 1 1 (A Mil
were never cured until recent
ly in Virginia it was discovered
that benzene fumes would cure
tobacco plant of the highly de
structive and costly disease
known as downed mildew.
Today Dr. E. C. Yarwood of
the University of California.
Berkeley, told the American As
sociation for the Advancement
of Science that fumes of sul
fur would cure certain diseases
of beans, clover, cucumbers,
snapdragons and sunflowers.
He described a snapdragon
with rust, a disease which yel
lows leaves, splits stems and
which has meant that the snap
dragon plant must be destroy
ed immediately.
He placed a snapdragon
which had rust for five days
under a bell jar. Sulfur fumes
were turned on like oxygen in
a tent. In five hours the snap
dragon was well.
Exactly the same quick cure
happened with beans suffering
from five-day-old rust.
Tunis, capital of Tunisia, has
a metroplitan population of some
223,000, of which, in 1931,
French numbered 33,849 and
Italians 46,437.
