SUGAR BEET DISEASES.
Three .FungOus Troubles of Impol

Three .Fungous Troubles of ImpOr-
lance to Beet Growers.
Many diseases of the sugar beet are
known In the old world where sugar
beet culture has long been an important
industry, and already some diseases have
become of consequence in this country.
There are at least three in the state of
New York, to which Professor B. F.
Duggar has been devoting attention,
and under the title, "Three Important
Fungous Diseases Of the Sugar Beet"
(bulletin 1853, Cornell), he publishes the
results of his Investigations.
Beet root rot was first brought to
Professor Duggar' attention as disease
of small extent in the vicinity Of Bling
hamton. 1t was afterward reported
from several other places, but has not
yet proved common. 1t may be the
same trouble that has several times
been very destructive to the sugar beet
industry in Germany. The first evil
1ence Of an attack is manifest in the

areas The second figure shows two
beets affected in a Characteristic man
ner. In 1890 Professor Thaxter discov-
cred that potato scab is caused by the
growth on the surface of the tuber of a
fungus which he named Oospora scabies.
The remedy cannot consist in this in
stance in the treatment of the seed,
since the seed do not disseminate the
disease, nor can it consist in the treat
ment of the land. since the experiments
with lining, sulphuring, etc, have not
given satisfactory results. The only
course open, then, is the one of avoiding
for the growth of beets any soil which
during several years previous has pro-
duced scabby beets.

THE WONDERS OF ALFALFA.
AS Displayed at the New Jersey Ex-
pertinent Station.


pertinent Station.
There has been a good deal said about
alfalfa of late, and when Professor
Voorhees, of the New Jersey station said
he was almost ready to be enthusiastic
about this plant Mr.. Collingwood of
The Rural New Yorker concluded, as
be tells in that journal, that it was
time to go and see what basis Professor
Voorhees, had for the statement, the
latter being careful man and not east
ly carried away by single success with
any crop. So on May 8 Mr.. Colling
wood went down to New Brunswick to
look at the alfalfa, and this is what he
found, as reported in The New Yorker:
There it stood, a solid mat averaging
about II inches high and so thick ON
the ground that one could hardly find
even small weed in an acre of it. The
alfalfa would average at least four
inches higher than the best crimson
clover, and its immense leaf surface as
compared with clover evidently made
it better plant for feeding.
''But this 'is not alfalfa sodlf" was
my first comment, FOR the ground was
hard, heavy, well baked, not at all like
the friable, loose, open soil IN which
alfalfa is said to delight
"That is true, " said Professor Voor-
bees. 'But there is such thing as fit
ting the soil for the crop and changing
its character 50 that crops will feel
more at home in it. In the first place,
we made it clean. The great reason why
SO many people fail with alfalfa is that
| they let the weeds kill it out. The
weeds will certainly do this If you give
them chance We cleaned that soil for
two years by constant and thorough
tillage and growing clean crops upon it.
Then in the fall it was broken up and
potash and 'phosphoric acid applied, with
good coating of lime. Then it was
sQwn 70 rye. n the spring this was
oughly subsoiled. You know alfalfa is a
long, deep rooted plant. The ideal soil
for it is one with an open, porous sub
soil into which these long Boots can
easily work. By subsoiling-that is,
breaking up the earth to considerable
depth-we gave these roots a chance to
get downs into the ground, and they
most certainly went there. We sowed
about the 1st of May, using varying
quantities of seed at, the rate of 80, 40
and 80 pounds per acre"
"You can see for yourself that where
| we have used the most seed we have
the best stand and the best crop. AL
falfa cannot stand up in fight against
weeds. The weeds came up, of course,
last year after the young alfalfa, and
we clipped them off SO as to give the
latter a chance When it once got ahead
of the weeds, it staid ahead, and we
made one good cutting of alfalfa last
year within four months after sowing.
In order to make sure of carrying it
through the winter.we gave II coat
of manure last fall, and now here il is. -

blackening Of the bases Of the leaves,
and the disease soon works into the
crown and root proper, causing the in
tested parts to turn brown. This beet
root rot is found to be caused by the
same fungus which causes stem rot of
carnations and probably produces some
of'the "damping off diseases. Sixty
to 70 bushels Of air slaked lime per acre
is suggested as means Of securing a
preventive alkalinity of soil
Professor Duggars observations indi-
cate that ''leaf spot" is disease which
needs to be specially brought to the at
tention of sugar beet growers. It begins
as small brown spots, with reddish pur-
pie margin, scattered irregularly over
the leaf. In time the whole leaf Is black
and crisp. AS the leaves begin to parch
and dry they stand more nearly up
right, SO that whole field badly affect
ed with the disease shows very char
acteristic appearance. The outer or
older leaves are OF course first affected,
and after the Leafs stalks wilt these
leaves are she'd In the meantime the
plant is endeavoring to supply this def
cheney of leaves by continuing to de
velop new ones from the center or from
the bud. In consequence Of this the
crown becomes considerably elongated,
as in the first figure.
AS to remedies the author Gays For
several years experiments have been
conducted by Professor Halsted, at the
New Jersey experiment station, in the
treatment of this disease, and a. sue
cessful remedy seems to be at hand in
the we'll known bordeaux mixture. Nu-
megoqs fungicideg were experimental
upon, but the bordeaux mixture has
proved most efficient. There Is every
reason to believe that by Beginning the
sprayings early the leaf spot may be al
most entirely prevented by the use of
this fungicide. If the disease continues
so -disastrous,as it was in certain sec
tions during the past season, for sue
cess growers must expect to spray their
beets with the same regularity as has
beenafound necessary in growing pota-
toes
AS to beet scab the following are
presented among other points in the
bulletin: The smooth surface of the beet
root may often be disfgured by warty
or scabby excrescences. The texture of
these injuries is somewhat corky or
spongy, and the larger diseased areas
will show that the injury is not entirely
superficial. but to some extent alters the
tissues Immediately underlying such
