WILL STOP TONIGHT IN OHIO AMERICAN GOLFERS IN LEAD WARM FIGHT DEVELOPS POULTRY WILL BE SHOWN Sulphur as a fertilizer for clover and alfalfa has been recommended for the past several years in Jos«ph- another ine county. ’ However, point in favor of sulphur has been brought out in the past 30 days, Many of the clover fields over th« county have been attacked the past 30 days with a fungus disease known as powdery tniklew, 'which spreads very rapidly, and the affected fields have a white or ashen color instead of the characteristic green. The disease was identified by H P. Baras, plant pathologist of O. A. C., when a sample was sent him by County Agent Howell, and Mr. Barat replied in part as follows: "The clover sent us yesterday proved to be affected with powdery mildew. Th.fs disease appeared in the United States about 1932 and has apparently spread with rapidity. It is supposed to be of European ori­ gin. No reports of injury to cattle or other animals have come from the eating of affected hay. Your specimen is the first record of the disease we have ever had In Oregon, This is one of the types of mildew for which dusting sulphur is the most successful specific for control, like the grape powdery mildew." An interesting point in this con­ nection is that the affected fields, as far as It has been possible to check them, are the fields to which no sul­ phur has been applied as fertiliser. This disease like the powdery mil­ dew of grapes Is controlled by the fumes given off by the sulphur and not by actual contact ot the sulphur with the disease, and thus it is with the fumes of the sulphnr, though It is very taint, given oft by the sul­ phur left in the soil from the fertil­ iser, that the trouble has been pre­ vented where used.
