HTKAU OK WINTKK COLD
KHOOTS KPKI.VG FROM APPAR
KXTLY DKAD PLANTS.
While large areas In Deschutes
county and other parts ot Central
Oregon were thought to have suf
fered the loss of practically all their
alfalfa as the result of lack of pro
tection from extreme winter cold.
Investigations carried on through
County Agricultural Agent R. A.
Blanchard Indicate that the loss will
not approximate nearly tbe loss at
first attributed to it. Examination
of tbe roots of plants apparently
killed during the winter, has given
a basis for the theory that a form of
funguB growth Is responsible for the
trouble.
Samples from nearly every section
have been submitted to tbe experts
at the State . Agricultural College,
but there Is a divided opinion on
the cause. Both the department ot
entomology and pathology at Cor-
vallls have made reports on the sam
ples sont to them by the county agent
and report no indication of Insect
trouble, but a large Indication of a
fungua Injury.
The pathological department re
ports au abundance ot what seems
to be a species of phoma. Whether
this fungus growth is a parasite,
causing the death of the plants, or
:- - Mni 4l

SS
MNMIZED
a saprophyte, which merely lives onof nig parent8 any one can wlthdraw
dead tissue after the plants were
killed. Is not known. Since little is
known in America of this species,
Investigation work is necessary. The
fungus will be Inoculated on healthy
plants grown in the laboratory and
a later report made. The following
words from Prof. M. B. McKay, as
sistant plant pathologist, read in
part: "I find an abundant growth
of an organism that appears to be
o species of. Phoma. In order to
learn whethor it is of a parasitic or
Saprophytic nature, inoculation
work must be done which will re
quire a few months' time. If no
other ovidences ot other Injury sep
arate from this occur, then It Is safe
to conclude that this is the cause of
the trouble."
In a great many fields Investigat
ed lately, those plants which former
ly appoared to be dead were found
to have trom three to a dozen new
shoots Btarting up.
