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.
