What causes this to happen? A. From the signs just described, the probably were infected wit bacterial wilt. This disease is common and destructive on members of the cucurbit family which includes muskmelon and "cantaloupe.

It has also been found on squashes, pumpkins and white gourds. -The infected vines droop and turn dull green on one or few leaves. Later, the runner and other affected leaves turn lirpwn, wither and die. The bacteria spread to. new unaffected parts of the plant so the entire plant wilts, shrivels arid dies.

JMost home gardeners become alarmed when the vines begin to wilt. At this stage, there is little to do but immediately remove the infected vines. If a sufficient amount of time is left in the growing season, another vegetable can be planted in the space once occupied by the infected vines. The best method of control is to prevent or eliminate the cucumber beetle; The wilt-producing bacteria overwinter in "the- beetles' digestive tracts. Bacterial wilt is spread as the beetle feeds on the vine.

The bacteria enter in and plug the water-conducting vessels of the stems and leaves. Cucumber beetles can be controlled by using Sevin or carbaryl. It should be applied as soon as the beetles appear. Remember Sevin is toxic to bees so apply it late in the day to not interefere with pollination by bees. Bacterial wilt does not occur with the complete absence of beetles.

jQ. I am going to move to a new apartment across town. I would like to take my plants with me. Any suggestions? A. Moving plants during the winter months is much different than during the warm months of the year.

Houseplants are quite fragile and susceptible to chilling so care must be taken to insure their prompt arrival. Pack the plants in a box, wooden flat, cardboard carton or any other container which would facilitate easy transportation. Crushed newspaper may be placed between the pots to prevent tipping and movement. Each plant should be protected from the cold through the use of a "sleeve." These may be obtained from commercial florists who use them when transporting plants and flowers during the winter. They are easily made by shaping heavy-weight paper or light cardboard into a funnel shape around the plant with the large end at the top.

The upper end should be stapled shut while the lower end should extend past the rim of the pot. If the cardboard carton has flaps, they can be sealed, thereby eliminating the wrapping of each plant. The containers holding plants should have a special area in the transporting vehicle. Start the engine so the heater warms up the interior. Move the vehicle close to the building.

Lift each container carefully, making sure the bottom does not collapse. After the plants have been loaded, go directly to the new location. The longer the plants are out in the cold, the greater the chances of damage. Unload the plants immediately. 2.
