Better stands of alfalfa, clover, Ken- 
tucky blue grass and other small seeded 
legumes have been obtained by treating 
the seed with Arasan seed disinfectant 
before planting in tests at the DuPont 
Laboratory and at several state experi- 
ment stations. 
Summary of 1951-52. field tests by 
DuPont showed ‘mereased stands after 
tres¥iment with Arasan as follows: Al- 
falfa 32%: Red Clover 57%; Lespedeza , 
59%; Sudan 41%; mise. grasses 25%. * 
Frequently the cause of poor stands 
in pastures is an obscure and seldom 
recognized disease. It is really a phase 
of root rot, which eauses pre-emergence 
blight. Seedlings that survive that dis- 
ease often show only a little evidence 
of it. However, by digging into the soil 
or examining the old vegetation, it often 
will be found that, although the seed 
did germinate, the roots and the tops of 
the seedlings were killed before the
