that it cannot be seen with the naked eye is causing severe damage in many oat fields all across the province the pest which attacks the roots of oat plants has been reported in york county on several occa sions and farmers are advised to be on the lookout for it usually the nematode is pre sent for several years before it is noted and the buildup of the nematode population de pends to a great extent upon the ifrequency with which rains and particularly oals are grown on a field the oat nematode will survive and might even increase slightly on wheat and barley but it is on oats that it multiplies rap idly and causes such heavy losses in severe cases tlip oat nem atode infestation may be noted in an entire field but more fre quently it is in patches of vary ing size in infected areas the oat crop will germinate nor mally but in a week or ten days it is stunted and the grain stands very erect without the usually wavy appearance of healthy grain tips of the blades turn reddish and later yellow and withered the grain will stool little or not at all and infected areas maintain a backward appearance the roots of infected plants where the nematodes attack will be short and stubby
