BOWLING NOTES Detecting Alfalfa Wilt Alfalfa wilt can be detected by the following signs: stunted plants, spindly stems, small leaves which are pale in color and sometimes turn yellow, and roots which are yellow just under the bark. The bacteria which cause wilt live In the soil and enter the plant through root wounds. Careful use of water is important to aid in control. Bacterial wilt and winter injury are not the only factors which shorten life of alfalfa plants and reduce yields. The stem nematode, otherwise known as an eelworm, is prevalent in some areas, and does considerable damage to alfalfa. This eelworm is different from the one which infects potatoes. In some areas water table i? a factof In reducing yields of alfalfa. Say Sulfa Drugs Cannot : Be Used Indiscriminately Sulfa drugs, though among the foremost life-saving developments of this generation, may cause serious nutritional disturbances if used indiscriminately. 4 • • C. A. Elvehjem and his associates ^ ^ at the University of Wisconsin have ! s reached that conclusion on the basis of animal experiments they have been conducting with the drugs. These men found that white rats, fed a ration on which they ordinarily thrive, stop growing and develop vitamin deficiencies when certain sulfa preparations are added to the diet for several weeks. Indications are that the drugs destroy intestinal bacteria which aid nutrition by manufacturing vitamins.
