J. C. Wells, plant pathologist for the N. C. Agricultural Ex-1 tension Service, »ays the crown! and stem rot disease of forage legumes is becoming widespread in the area. The disease is leaving circu lar patches of dead and dying plants in fields of alfalfa, and crimson, red and Ladino clover. The spots or patches vary from a few inches in diameter to many feet. Affected plants look as though scalding water has been poured over them. For farmers whose legumes al ready have the disease there’re few controls Wells can suggest. “Plant pathologists at State College are studying the di sease," he said. “So far, they haven’t worked out any recom mendations for controlling the disease once it starts in the spring.” The only control recommenda tion now available comes from California. And Wells isn’t too certain that it will give the same results here as it did in California. The California folks -suggest spraying each acre of infected plants with 12 to 15 pounds of terraclor mixed with 100 gallons of water. They say the terra-, clor gives effective control if! applied when the first sign of; the disease appears in early spring. This same material, the Cali fornia researchers say, will give even better control if applied late in the fall prior to de velopment of the disease. While Wells doesn’t have many recommendations for con • M ' Esteron 99 STOPS WEEDS - j ...saves moisture and fertility in j 4 fe&A corn ' sma H grains and pastures Troublesome weeds can rob your growing crops of needed H moisture and soil fertility.

The fungus at tacks the stems and crowns, causing death of young seed lings. Older plants are not as severely attacked. In some cases the older plants are not killed outright. Instead, they are weakened, shorting the life of the stand. After it has destroyed the plants, the crown and stem rot fungus produces small, black, tough bodies about the size of wheat kernels. These kernel like bodies lie on the soil sur face and carry the fungus through the hot summer which is unfavorable for its growth. They germinate during the fall 1 when the weather is again cool) and wet. Small, toadstool-like; structures, which develop from) the kernels, produce the spores or seed of the fungus. These spores re-infect plants and start the disease off anew each year. Crown and stem rot attacks a large rfudibdf flf' JegOnfindus forage plants. Even some weeds are attacked. The disease, how ever, does not attack lepedeza, grasses and some other crops. Therefore, Wells suggests that crops such as corn, cotton, small grain and lepedeza should be grown for at least two years— and preferably three between plantings of ciover or alfalfa. In the absence of a suitable host the fungus soon perishes. “If it is necessary to follow clovers with alfalfa, or vice! versa, deep plowing is recom-l mended in preparing the seed bed,” Wells added. “Deep plow ing turns the kernel-like bodies well into the soil, making it im possible for their spores to reach the surface.” . Crown and stem rot doesn’ become a problem every year, which makes it difficult to plan control measures. Wells be lieves the severe weather, which j has just passed, nas caused the | disease to become a severe prob- I lem this year, however. They never sought in vain that sought the Lord aright. —Burns.
