Alfalfa In This
Section Getting
JNew Leaf Spot
C. E. Gardner Reports That
Unfavorable Weather Cause
Spread Of Disease
A new leaf spot, pseudoplea
medieagihis. is attacking alfalfa
in this area at the present time
and it is very important that this
disease not be confused with one
of the mineral element deficien
cies, C. E. Gardner, assistant
county agent, stated yesterday.
He pointed out that this fun
gus is spread by spores which at
tack the leaves and that the small
brown spots can be seen on the
loaves and as a result of these
brown spots, the leaves turn yel
low and fall off.
Mr. Gardner stated that if the
alfalfa shows symptoms of this
disease and if the leaves begin
to fall off. farmers should mow
their alfalfa or hay so as to save
as many leaves as possible.
“Specialists at the North Can
ina State College stated that this
disease is probably seed borne
and that there is no control for
it at the present time,” the as
sistant agent said.
There is a possibility that un
favorable weather conditions may ,
cause this fungus to spread mare
rapidly, he added. j
"By particularly early cutting.!
the disea-e may not he as severe i
in t'-e .1'.'; or third cutting."!

The State has revoked the per

Upchurch said the revocations
have come in all cases after evi

State laws regarding bet r sale.
The division’s 25 investigators
are making enforcement of the
new beer statute their biggest
job now and more revocations
can be expected. Upchurch de

Before July 1, Upchurch’s ag

to "clean up" the beer business
