Stubble of Melilotus alba. 
These plants, which were cut 12 inches above the ground during rainy weather, had made a 40 to 42 inch 
growth. The stubble became infected at the top and the light-colored portions of them were killed by 
disease, thus checking the water supply to the growing branches above the infection.
