after all, Georges little perplexity

stages of the disease may be found
The first external sign of the disease
is Following of the plant, which soon
after withers and dies On pulling up
a dead or dying plant the roots will be
found to be covered with a violet or
brownish-red mat of fungus strands or
hyphae The infected area spreads
from three to twenty feet in all direc-
tons in a season The dying is most
rapid during the hot months of sum-
mer The fungus threads grow into
the bark of the roots as far as the
cambium layer. which they kill The
plant is thus girdled and will there
fore soon die. This fungus forms dark
knot-like tubers. which are said by
Prunet to live in the ground two or
three years. He therefore recon-
mends that badly diseased fields should
not be cropped to clover or alfalfa for
several years
A thoroughly practical means OF con-
trolling this disease is not known
