...antibiotic drug* for trees and plants that cures such previously fatal plant diseases as fire blight (in apple and pear trees) and halo blight (in beans). Agrimycin, a compound of streptomycin and terramycin, is absorbed into the plants' systems just as antibiotics penetrate the human blood stream. The drug will be available in quantity by March...
