VOL. XXVIII. NO. 5. 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!

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.

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 liam set off their blasts. The bom bardment keeps up througout the day. Charges of TNT make the water in the harbor spout up like geysers In Yetlftwstone park and the big gun pits 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 to Satisfy Demands of the Tourists.

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.
