A single swollen stem or sprout may contain hundreds of eelworms, each deriving its food from the plant Finally the nema todes become so abundant as to completely kill the plant They then leave it and migrate into the soil, ready to attack other plants which they may be able to reach. This eelworm is distinctly differ ent from the one which causes root-knot In a wide variety of plants and abnormal swellings on potatoes and other tuberous crops. The al falfa eelworm occurs only in the aerial parts of the plants. Manner of Spread. The organisms may be carried long distances by irrigation water or by hay. Waste water from in fested fields carries the organisms by the millions. (The nematode has been known to live as long as 25 years in dried hay, reviving in a few hours when put in water, ac cording to Mr. Smith. It has laso been known to have been carried bv trash in seed.) It may empty into a ditch that does duty lower down on the same farm or on an adjacent farm, or it may go back into a large lateral ditch or even a river, and thus be carried to an other irrigation project miles away In hay the organisms show their remarkable resistance to drying. Infested hay, therefore is an important carrier of the disease. The spread over shorter distances may be accomplished by farm im plements, which probably play a great part in carrying infection to all parts of a farm from small cen- tes of infection, or by animals, birds, man, or wind, any one of which may carry a bit of soil or mud or bits of diseased plants con taining many eelworms or their eggs. Means of Control. In this case an ounce of prevention is worth a ton of cure. It is worth any effort to prevent the first in fection from occurring. Avoiding the various means of spread men tioned above is one way to do this. Some of the means, such as trans mission by wind or birds, can not be controlled. The safest way, es pecially from the point of view of the owners of the millions of acres that are free from the disease, is to eradicate the disease wherever it occures. This will involve plow ing up the affected fields and de voting them to other crops for at least three years. This gives suf ficient time to starve the organisms completely. The removal of alfalfa must be complete, however; other wise enough of the organisms will be held over alive to bring about new centers of infection when al falfa is again planted. Not only must all volunteer alfalfa plants appearing in the field after the plowing be grubbed out, but those on the ditch banks and fence rows must be destroyed as well. After doing the work of eradica tion of alfalfa in an effected field, all tools and implements should be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Hot water or a direct flaming with a torch of some kind, momentarily applied, is the surest way to kill any nematodes or their eggs that may be sticking to the implements. If this is done, the tools may be used anywhere without fear of car rying the disease. It must be kept in mind that fields that had diseas ed alfalfa contain the living organ isms in the soil. Consequently, spread from such fields by imple ments or use of waste water must be guarded against for two years or more. It is recognized that difficulties are involved in putting these sug gestions into practice. They can, however, be carried out, and these are the only methods which are now regarded as effective. Further investigations of methods of eradi cation are needed and are in pro gress. The direct sterilization of the soil by the application of chem icals or heat may be practicable in very limited infestations, but ex perience gained in work on the potato wart indicates that such treatment is highly expensive and of doubtful efficacy when applied to large areas. The nematode which attacks al falfa is different from the one at tacking clover, according to Mr Smith, and neither of the two will attack the other plant, except pos sibly under very favorable condi tions.
