Dr. H. M. Tysdal, associate
agronomist, division of forage
crops and diseases in the United
States department of agriculture,
who has been stationed at the
University of Nebraska college of
agriculture for a number of years,
is leaving for California to inspect
alfalfa breeding plants.
Alfalfa plants that have been
growing in California during the
past months will be brought to
Nebraska and transplanted. The
purpose of the procedure is to
save time, the plants being grown
in a warm climate during our
winter months and in Nebraska
during the regular growing
season.
As a result of six years' work
on the selection of alfalfa for wilt
and cold resistance, a number of
strains have been isolated which
are sufficiently resistant for this
region. It now remains to test
these for commercial production.
Seedlings have been started In
California during the winter and
transplanted to Nebraska in the
spring.
