Excerpt from The Mosaic Disease of Sugar Cane and Other Grasses Cane fields are distributed over practically the whole State of Florida, but the crop is grown largely for sirup for home use and the cane patches are. Even smaller than those in Georgia. Mosaic has been widely scattered over the State by the distribution of cut tings from experimental plats grown for the purpose of testing varieties. There are only two points, however, where the disease has spread so as to include any considerable area, namely, the vicini ties of Marianna and Bristol. Other points in Florida where mosaic has been found include Apalachicola, Tallahassee, Punta Gorda, Palmetto, De Land, Winterhaven, Chattahoochee, Muscogee, and Canal Point. These are all purely local, infections, and in some cases the disease has not yet spread more than a few rods from the original plantings shipped in from other States. An eradication campaign would be entirely practicable in Florida. Mosaic has been discovered at only one point, Biloxi, in Mississippi. From the farm on which it first appeared it spread to one other farm. In the vicinity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
