ON LETTUCE CROP

DR.. Ivan c. Jaeger, United States
department of agriculture plant di-
sease specialist, has been spending
considerable time in Imperial Val
ley studying the various diseases
of lettuce, according to Farm Ad-
visor +. l.. Garthwaite who has been
cooperating with DR.. Jaeger. The
principal disease being studied by
Dir. Jaeger is the brown blight di-
sease which annually takes heavy
toll on the lettuce acreage in Imper-
ial Valley.
Or. Jaeger who has been working
on the brown blight of lettuce for
several years, discovered the cause
of the trouble. In order TO demon
strate the proper control of the di-
sease, several plots have been es-
tablished on various ranches in diff
ferent parts of the valley. These
plots, according to Farm Advisor
Garthwaite show without doubt
that DIR. Jaeger has definitely es-
tablished the cause of and remedy
