Alfalfa Wilt How many times have you heard "Why can’t we get alfalfa to last like it ones did?" One of the main reasons is alfalfa wilt which is now In most of the main growing sec tions of Eastern Oregon. It tends *n kill out stands in four years time Grimm is no mors resistant than Commcn. Many of the grassy field; with thin, scattering alfalfa are due to wilt. Much of the wilt damage is blamed on winter injury and th: effects of the two are almost iden tical. Ladak alfalfa is somewhat resist ant to the disease. It is not immune, but on wilt Infested land where Grimm and Common last only 4 or 5 years the Ladak can be depended upon to last 7 or 8. Land once infested by wilt Is al ways Infested. It Is spread from field to field by Irrigation water and by mowers, rakes, animals, etc. Cul tivation increases th? damages a great deal and no spring toothing should be done in areas where wilt is present. The wilt organism gets into the root through injuries.— Oregon Lambs and Wool. OREGON TRAIL GRANGE Notes On Hay appl T v a l l e y FOR SALE— 1937 Chevrolet pickup, driven cnly 3,000 miles.
