Jackson County Farm Notes Compiled by County Office 0. S. C. Extension Service New Disease Moves In On Ladino, Alfalfa Fields A large number of farmers have noticed a disease that has recently moved in on ladino clo ver and alfalfa fields. The dam age to these crops is quite spot ted. The above ground vegeta tion starts to wilt, and usually turns a lighter green to yellow. The stem, leaves, and runners ap pear as a slimy rotting mass. The plant is decayed back to the crown and sometimes the surface root system is affected. This trouble has been identified as Sclerotica stem rot. There is no cure for this disease at the pres ent time. However, there are pre ventative measures. It develops most rapidly during cool wet periods and on soils that do not drain well. Greater damage is noted on those fields where sub drainage is restricted. Other fields that have a dense matted growth are also more favorable for the spread of this disease. Those fields that were grazed rather close last fall or were clipped before going into the winter have shown less damage. . Warm, dry weather usually stops the spread of the disease. Alfalfa growers have developed resistant strains. This may be ne cessary with ladino clover in case the trouble continues to spread. Clipping, grazing, and drainage of the land are the only known remedies at this time. W. B. Tucker County Extension Agent Maggot Control Method Recommended By College A new material for the control of maggots on cabbage plants and radishes is now being rec ommended by Oregon State col lege. A five per cent chlordane dust will give effective control. This is easily used by putting a teaspoonful in a circle around each of the newly set plants These maggots work on the roots of all members of the cabbage family such as cauliflower, Brus sels sprouts and broccoli. This maggot also causes severe damage on radishes. It is, of course, obviously impossible to circle each radish plant with the dust, but it has been found that practical control is obtained either by applying the dust to the seeds in the furrow when plant ing or by dusting the young plants after they have come up. Chlordane is also available as a 50 per cent wcttable powder. If you are watering in your plants when planting you can apply the maggot control at the same time by adding one round e dteasmoon of the 50 per cent powder to each gallon of water. Onion maggots can also be controlled by the use of this 50 per cent wettable powder. Stir one level teaspoon in one gallon of water. This solution should then be poured onto the onion row at the time of seeding or as soon as the young onions appear. New City Park Name Ballot (Note: Voting open io reildtnti of Medford and vicinity.

B- Cordv County Extension Agent Horticulture Cattle Should Be Kept From Pastures Until Firm Dairymen are looking over pastures these days with the idea of turning out soon, in many cases the cattle are out on pasture now. If pastures are soft, it will pay well to feed a while longer until the sod is firm enough to hold the cattle. The change from dry feed to pasture should be made gradual ly and the cows should be pro vided with plenty of good qual ity hav and their normal amount of grain to insure a good level of production. Cows on good green pasture require more salt and minerals than when they are on dry leea Provide a box containing ground salt, steamed bone meal ana ground limestone in equal parts.
