This is followed by wilt ing of additional leaves, beginning with those nearest the first ones to wilt and continuing until the entire plant is affected. When u plant is wilted there are no defi nite discolorations on the outside of the stalk at the soil lire as 1 there are in the case of black shank. When a Granville wilt in fected stalk is cut crosswise or split lengthwise, dark areas are , to be found in the woody pa-t of the stem and extending from dead j root 3 up the stem and usually con- ( nected with wilted leaves. The presence of these darkened ' streaks in the stem and of dead i main roots usually enables dis- c tinction of Granville wilt from i black shank and other root and, I stem diseases of tobacco. i The Granville wilt germ firsl t enters the plant through some t of the main roots while in the case of black shank the causnl i germ first attaches at or fvtr the t soil line. Another striking s.vmp- a torn of Granville wilt is the gray- 1 ish ooze which will come out of > diseased areas when cut across s and squeezed slightly. t THE DANBCRY REPORTER A WEEK OF THE WAR President Roosevelt and Prime I Minister Churchill created three !
