Disease of Beets Controlled
By Crop Rotation

recent years and is still on the in
crease. In many localities where only
small number of cases were OBJ
served few years ago there are now
thousands of beets affected with the
disease every year, especially if a
beet crop has been followed by beet
crop for several years in the same
field. The disease has been observed
i'm practically all beet-growing states,
from Michigan and Ohio to Montana,
Idaho, Utah. and Colorado.
Beets Have "TumOrs' and "Tubercu-
lOsis."
The disease assumes two kinds of
forms which scientists have termed
"tumors' and tuberculosis" A pro-
tuberance like wart appears at any
point from the top of the beet to the
extreme tip of the root but generally
only near the surface of the ground.
Observers in former years looked
upon the warts or gals as curiosities.
Later when the destructive effects of
these growths were learned, measures
were at once sought for their proven
ton.
Both kinds of the disease usually
manifest themselves at first with a
smooth exterior, but if the beet has
tuberculosis" the protuberances final
ly become very rough, cracked, and
dark, decay sets in and the beet it
self rots. The tumor variety of gall
remains quite smooth and does not
usually decay; however, it lowers the
quality of the roots. The growths do
not usually appear on the beet until
it is one-quarter to one-haf grown,
that is until midsummer. From that
time on they may appear at any time
until the beet is harvested.
Mechanical injuries to plants offer
favorable seats for the infection, and
are usually more numerous near the
ends of the rows where they are pro-
duced by the horse and cultivator in
turning. As far as the size of the
beet is concerned the gals do not
seem to have any marked effect upon
it, consequently the tonnage or yield
per acre does not seem to be particu-
larly affected by the disease in case
it is the tumor type of the disease.
If the beet roots have decayed as a
result of the tuberculosis infection the
tonnage will, of course, be less.

Field Badly Infested With Grown
Gall May be Freed by Growing
Oats, Corn, or Sorghum for Sew
eral Years Before Return
to Beets.

Washington, ID. C.-To be rid of the
disease known as CROWN gall" the
sugar beet farmer has simply TO
adopt system of wise crop rotation,
planting oats, corn, kafir, milo, or sor-
ghum in the infested field. Even a
beet field badly infested with the
crownbgall may be freed by the grow
ing ofsome one of these crops in that
field for two or more years before re-
turning to sugar beets.
The above advice is contained in a
new professional paper, Bulletin No.

Of Agriculture, entitled Field Studies
Of the Crown-Gall of Sugar Beets.
