RIGHT MEASURES
TO KILL DODDER
Experts Say Discovery of This
Parasite on Farm Is No
Cause for Serious Alarm.
PUN FOR ITS EXTERMINATION
Pert Doee Not Cause Damage If Rem.
edies Are Applied Before It Gets
Foothold—Prevent Seed
From Maturing.
Prepared by the United States Depert
inent of Agriculture.
If remedies to exterminate dodder—
the parasitic plant infesting closer, al
falfa, and some other plants—are ap
plied before It gets a foothold, the
pert does not cause serious damage.
If, however, dodder la permitted to de
velop unmolested, radical measures
will be necessary In order to control It,
During recent years, specialists of
the department say, an Increase In the
number of complaints of dodder have
hpen received from all parts of the
United KfSites. They add, however,
that the discovery of this parasite on
the farm should not be the occasion
of serious alarm, but rather for the
employment of a well-conceived and
systematic plan for Its extermination.
Starts In Small Patches.
During the first season of fnfesfa
tlon, In clover or alfalfa, dodder
!.v occurs In small scattered areas. As
Is the case in combating all weeds, It
Is essential that dodder should not be
permitted to mature seed, and such
small Infested areas should be mowed
and the dodder removed or burned In
the field to prevent the development
of seed. If seed has formed, burning
the patches of dodder Is the only rem
edy, since It kills not only the plants
hut also any seeds which may be ly
ing on the surface ef the soH.
It Infestation IS so great that patch
treatment cannot be depended upon, ft
will be necessary, In order to free the
farm of the pest, either to plow the
crop under or utilise It for hay before
seed has formed. In the latter case,
the aftermath left on the field should
be closely grazed, for which purpose
sheep are especially useful. If the
Infestation is general and threatens
Bert oV,sly to damage succeeding crops.
It may be necessary, according to the
bulletin, to cut the crop, allow It to
dry, and burn It In the field In order
that all dodder seed may be destroyed.
LOGICAL ADVICE!
Strike at the root of weak
ness is logical advice to
those rundown in vitality.

As with all weeds, preventing Intro
duction on the farm Is far easier than
eradication after It has once gained a
foothold. It Is usually introduced by
the use ot Impure seed, and a bul

recognise It when they are purchasing
clover and alfalfa seed. For adequate
examination, a magnifying glass is
necessary. There is a wide range in
size of dodder seed, but in general
they are usually dull-coated with
roughened or minutely pitted sur
faces, and usually have two or three
flat surfaces, while the seeds of clover
are usually smooth, rounded, and pos
sess a certain luster. Furthermore,''
the scar on dodder seed usually Is
vtery inconspicuous, whereas the scar
on leguminous seeds Is dearly evident,
When animals are allowed to graze
where dodder grows, they should not
have access to fields not Infested,
since they are likely to spread the
weed by means of pieces of stems ad
hering to their coats and hoofs. On
land which contains the seeds of dod
der, the bullettn suggests the use of a
flve-year cropping system consisting
of plants which are not damaged by
the pest, and recommends the follow
ing plants: Corn, soy beans, velvet
beans, cow-pons, and small grains such
as oats, wheat, and rye. Sugar beets,
onions, flax, and a few other cultivat
ed plants are subject to dodder In
festation, but clover and alfalfa are Its
Important hosts.

There nre two absolutely basic qual

Continuous Blasting In
Big German Fortress Sounds
Like Celebration.
Helgoland, Germany.—Every day is
a Fourth of July celebration on this
little rocky island. And not a “safe
and sane” celebration at that.
At sunrise the 1,000 German work
men who are dynamiting the pet fort
ress and naval hurbor of Kaiser Wil

bardment keeps up througout the day.
Charges of TNT make the water in

on the summit of the rocky cliff give
an occasional roar like Vesuvius and
belch great clouds of black smoke
and pulverized concrete.
For two years more the work of de
vastation will continue. It took the
kaiser eight years to build the great
fortress and harbor which defended
the Kiel canal and afforded Germany’s
navy a base close to England. It
cost Germany 60,000,000 -marks ($12,-
500,000). The cost of dismantling,
which Germany also must bear In ac
cordance with the terms of the Ver
sailles treaty, will probably be about
4,000,000 gold marks ($1,000,000).
FRANCE AGAIN ADMITS BOOZE
Lets Down Bart to Whisky and Qln

the Tourists.
Paris.—The French government has
been compelled to permit the importa
tion Into France of a limited amount
of whisky and gin so as to satisfy
the demands of the tourists here from
foreign countries. Such Imports had
been prohibited since the war and, as
a result, the prices of cocktails and
higballs soared In proportion as the
supply of gin and w'hisky diminished.
Foreigners residing here have made
desperate efforts to obtain good whisky
from England and Scotland and have
been compelled to pay extremely high
prices for it. Reports of a great
amount 4 of smuggling Indicate that
the foreigners have about as much
difficulty obtaining their farorita
brand of whisky as they do In
America.
