Corn blight has now been reported in 36 Kentucky counties, pausing damage in several cytoplasm corn fields and in bicndedorn7TheT cytoplasm and blends with low percentage normal cytoplasm were the ones that suffered most severely in 1970 from blight in- fection. Development of the blight has been rapid during the past two weeks in susceptible varieties, according to Dr. A.S.

Williams, UK College of Agriculture Extension plant pathologist. He emphasizes, however, that in "spite of several outbreaks here in Kentucky, our statewide corn crop situation still looks good. USDA plant pathologists tell us that corn blight is a much less serious problem in the south than it was this time a year ago probably as a result of so much resistant seed being planted, and because we had a cold, dry spring. At cording to USDA figures released last week, the blight has been reported in 422 counties of 26 states. That dangerous corn leaf fungus that caused grief and economic setback to so many Kentucky farmers last summer can be a persistant and hardy enemy.

It did overwinter, just as many canny farmers and pathologists were; afraid it might. The few traces found earlier this season were in volunteer corn raising its blighted head in in the stubble of fields that suffered heavy damage last year. But, as Williams points out, that picture has changed, and it's no longer just trace amounts showing up in volunteer corn. Corn: blight thrives on hot, humid conditions in which the dew lasts late into the morning, We have a long, hot summer aheati, and the t' epidemic poteritialls still 'with tis.) If Vou see tell-tale signs, of the me in your fence, r. blight in your own crop, or neiglfxir's corn across the fence, Williams' advice is to contact your county extention agent right away.

Many leaf spots haye turned out not td '1e Might, so makg' sure spots are really blight-caused before taking additional steps.
