Crop Rotation Important
Plant pathologists at University Farm are continuing their studies of the diseases of canning peas and sweet corn, in co-operation with the Minnesota Canners association which is furnishing support for a university fellowship for the purpose. Rotation of crops should be practiced as a general plant disease control measure, they say. The planting of disease-free seed is of first importance; treating seed will often increase the yield and stand. Progress has been made at the university stations in developing strains of sweet corn resistant to disease.
