I Wilt - Resistant
i Tomatoes Object
The breeding of tomatoes for
resistance to southern bacterial
wilt is being expanded by F. D.
Cochran and D. E. Ellis of the
North Carolina Agricultural Ex
periment Station. Several lines of
the fourth generation crosses and
selections are promising, but none
are breeding true for disease re
sistance.
New techniques for handling
and- inoculating in the seedling
stage are very promising and
should greatly increase the effici-:
ency in evaluating resistance.
I Crossing, selecting and inoculating
I are now being done in the green
' houses during the winter months
to hasten the development of a
resistant variety.
Another phase of i the tomato
breeding program gives consider
ation to Fusarium wilt, and cer
tain foliage diseases, particularly
late blight. Approximately 150
varieties and strains were tested
during 1947 at the Transou and
Waynesville Experiment Stations
for resistance to late blight. There
were no immune types in the
group, but a number of highly
resistant .types y, ere found. Late
blfgfrit; resistance is particularly?

Home-Cured Ham Losses Blamed
To Mild Weather Last Winter
By W. E. Tyler
N. C. Agricultural Experiment
Station .
A lot of things have been blam
ed on or credited to the mild
weather of last winter. It pushed
? 1 along the small grain and tobacco
plants too rapidly; 'and it was
'favorable to the spread of certain
plant diseases.
; Farm families are only now
' discovering damage to another
I farm product ? home-cured meat.
''It would be hard to estimate just
how much meat has spoiled on
' Tar Heel farms this past winter.
But from all indications the loss
has been high. Probably all of It
! has nof yet been discovered.
, December, January and Feb
, iruary are the months when most
meat is put in cure. On just
, about half the days of these
months last winter, the tempera
j ture was too high for slaughter
. ing and curing. Temperatures
> should be below 50 degrees for
; Btrating a cure. On 13 days in
5 December, 17 days in January
and 14 days in February, the
mean temperature was above 30
degrees.
If we could control the weather
during curing season, first of all
we'd want a cold day and night
just above freezing when the hogs
were slaughtered. Unless the car
cass is thoroughly chilled the first
Wight after slaughter, spoilage
can easily begin before any cure
is gut in the meat.
Spoilage begins in the center of
the meat around the bone ? the
last 'place to completely chill.
I Once it sets in, all the salt in the
world will not save tne meat. It
also stands to reason that the
larger the hog, the longer It will
take to chill through.
When salt is applied to the out
aide of the cut, it takes several
days for it to reach the center
of the meat, let alone enough
j to protect it from spoilage. Hence,
| several warm days during the eui
lng period can cause the meat
to spoil.
Even after the meat has been
,in cure for the recommended time,
it is not completely safe. At the
end of the curing period, the can safely Sav
salt has not yet equalized through- protected and i
out the ham or shoulder. This in warm r6a^"'' '
takes another 30 days before we _
