A Bad Weed.

F. II. Hillman, of the department OF
entomology and botany, Nevada ex-
pertinent station, has issued an inter-
esting bulletin on the dodder. or love
vine. 1t is as follows:
One of the worst weeds of agricul-
ture now established within the True
kee Valley, and other parts of the state,
is dodder, or love vine. 1t is a pest of
alfalfa fields and is fast becoming a
most serious menace to profitable al
falfa production. Already certain farms
within the Truckee valley are overrun
by the weed, which seems to defy
eradication. In consideration of the
ease with which the plant spreads and
becomes esta blished, it is evident that
future immunity from it's destructive
presence will be very nearly proper
ti6nal TO the amount of effort employed
in getting rid of it where already es
tablisher1 and keeping it from fields
thus far. unaffected. This department
of the experiment station has had no
opportunity TO pursue field experiments
in the eradication of the weed in fields
already stocked. so no results along
this line can be given. However, an
account of the plants habits and the
character of its seeds may not be
wholly amisS at this season.
