404 FORAGE PLANTS AND THEIR CULTURE 



475. Disease-resistant strains. There have been but 

 few attempts made to secure strains of red clover immune 

 to disease. Bain, at the Tennessee Experiment Station, 

 has, however, thus bred a strain resistant to anthracnose 

 (Colletotrichum trifolii) by selecting plants not affected 

 by the disease. Apparently the same result was reached 

 by Clarendon Davis, in northern Alabama, by merely 

 saving the seed each year from the surviving plants.
