i] i i 1 BACK GAVE ouT. A Typical Case of Kidney Trouble and a Typical Cure. Mrs. Chloe Page of 510 8. Pitt Street, Alexandria, Va, says: “My back hurt me ter-. ribly, I had sharp, shooting pains, changing to a dull, dragging ache. I could not stand for any length of time and my back hurt me when I sat down. My feet and ankles were badly swollen every evening, and my stomach was out ef order. Doan’s Kidney Pills cured me of these troubles in 1902, and for five years I have had no return.” All dealers. 50 cents a box. Fos- ter-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y¥.

BABY IN TERRIBLE STATE, Awful Humor Eating Away Face— Body a Mass of Sores—Cuticura Cures in Two Weeks. “My little daughter broke. out .all over her body with a humor, and we used everything recommended, but without results. I called in three doc- tors, but she continued to grow worse. Her body was a mass of sores, and her little fage was being eaten away. Her ears looked as if they would drop off. Neighbors advised me to get Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and before I had used half of the cake of Soap and box of Ointment the sores had all healed, and my little one’s face and body were as clear as a new-born babe’s, I would not be without it again if it cost five dollars, instead of seventy-five cents.

Early Vigilance Is the ~TTHE DODDER PEST AND ITS “DETECTION IN THE FIELD Only Effective ‘Method of Holding It in Check, ; ooo Notwithstanding every precaution | against the introduction of dodder, seeds may find their way to the field in the seed used. The ultimate con- trol of the plants may depend upon early efforts to discover and destroy them. This is particularly true if the plants appear in few places in the field. The proper time to destroy the plants is before rapid branching en- ables them to reach many host plants. Then every. firm hold of the dodder suckers becomes a point of independ- ent growth, and the difficulty of reach- ing all of them is greatly increased. New seedings, therefore, should be carefully examined for this pest. Under favorable conditions the dod- der seeds germinate but little slower than seeds of clover or alfalfa. The young plants therefore appear at about the same time as the clover. Their discovery in the seeding at first is practically impossible. By the time the crop is six or eight inches hi: the dodder will have branched suffi- ciently, as a rule, to render its pres- ence noticeable for a short distance. This permits removal of the plants with the least loss to the stand and with the most likelihood of success. Different kinds of dodder exhibit in | the field individual habits well wor- thy of consideration in detecting their presence, such as low-growing or high- growing tendencies and their manner of spreading from plant to plat. Field dodder grows to the top ofthe host plants, throws out ‘its branches, and rapidly extends from plant to plant, often forming a dense yellow carpet of tangled branches covering and bearing down the crop, as shown is our illustration. Small-seeded al- falfa dodder, on the other hand, con- fines its growth exclusively to the lower part.of the host plant, rarely, ex- ceeding a _foot_from the ground. It spreads slowly from plant to plant, confining itself chiefly to the several branches of the individual alfalfa plant. While a.pateh of field dodder can be seen a long distance, the oth- er, when the stand is at all thick, can be observed for but a few feet. The habit of clover dodder differs from that of each of the kinds pre- viously described. Its flowering stems usually climb the host stems for a Field Dodder Covering Red Clover and Grasses.. From a photograph of an infested field. 4 ' foot or more. The vegetative stems, by means of which the plant spreads to new host plants, form a dense mat, or carpet, close to the ground, wind- ing in and out among the host stems. often completely surrounding : them, and hiding the ground. In this way the spreading of the plant is rapid and very effective. The early growth of this plant is not readily detected at a distance. ‘ The effect on the crop differs with these different habits of growth. Field dodder destroys its host plants in ir--| dodder appears likely to prove most regular patches, probably in many in- stances as much by bearing down and smothering the crop as by the with- drawal of plant food. All of the crop plants within an infested. area are likely to be attacked. Small seeded alfalfa dodder, confining its: attacks chiefly to individual resistent and naturally long-lived plants, eventually causes a general thinning of the stand through the death of scattered individual plants. Healthy, infested and nearly dead alfalfa plants thus often occur in close proximity. Clover dodder attacks every clover plant and to a greater or less extent other plants within the infested area. It destroys rapidly, and its progress from the original point of attack is so uniform that distinctly circular areas bared of living clover or alfalfa result. These circular spots of dead plants are very characteristic marks of the open habit and scattered flower sys- tem. The form and appearance of the flower clusters differ with the differ- ent kinds of dodder. Clover dodder flowers are in small compact clusters with several flowers each. The clus- ters as well as the stems are. often tinged with red. Small-seeded alfalfa dodder flowers are in similar clus- ters which are not colored. When failure to prevent the intro- duction of dodder seed occurs, the destruction of the plants becomes the final resort. The questions of suc- cess and the extent of the necessary damage to the crop at once arise. Their answers rest with the kind of destruction caused by this species. | A narrow band of living dodder stems will be found bordering the circle otf destroyed plants. Flax dodder bears down the flax plants and is therefore sometimes called “pull-down.” It also draws the tops of the plants together. Both large-seeded alfalfa dodder and Chil- ean dodder ascend to the top of the host plant. The former produces dense flower and fruiting clusters; the latter appears to have a more Field Dodder on Red Clover. (a) Flowering.

Red clover remains but two, or at most but three, years | without reseeding. If the dodder is prevented from, seeding it should be eradicated within this time, or at least should not interfere with the course of crop rotation. Alfalfa should re- main indefinitely, and if dodder re- seeds itself its control becomes much more difficult or impossible. This is the prevailing condition in the west. The fact that the small-seeded alfalfa dodder .of the west has not become established in the east is of special interest in this connection. Clover troublesome in alfalfa culture in the east. ‘ If the dodder occurs only in patches in the field it usually can be controll- ed by hand methods. If it covers the greater part or all of the field, plow- ing under the stand will probably be found necessary. It then becomes im- portant to know how far the crop can be utilized without reseeding the land to dodder. : It is first important to gain control before the plants have spread far from the point of attack; secondly, and of greater importance, they should be subdued before they pro- duce seed. Success therefore depends very largely on early discovery of the plants, followed by_immediate work in subduing them. Thoroughness invol ves the destruction of every living piece of dodder stem lying within its own length of a host plant, Cutting and burning infested plants and spraying them with copper sul- *hate or iron sulphate are methods which have been employed. Spraying has not proved successful as a rule, owing to the impossibility of thorough- ly wetting every part of the dodder stems under field conditions. The plants have appeared to be destroyed, but a sufficient number remained to continue growth: after receiving a temporary check.
