growth. 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.
