SEED IMPURIrY.
Clover Dodder Comes Largely From
European Grown Seed.

industry.
The dangerous character of dodder
plants as pests of fax and leguminous
crops. together with their wide distrf-
button throughout the regions which
have long grown these crops. especial
ly in Europe. has caused them to be
looked upon with dread by farmers.
As result of its unpopularity seed
containing dodder is practically I'M
salable in the domestic trade of most
of the European countries 1t is owing
to this adverse sentiment in Europe
regarding dodder infested seed and the
absence in this country of national
law prohibiting the importatiGe and
sale of such seed that so much dodder
is annually distributed throughout the
United States
Dodder, especially as menace to
clover and alfalfa culture. is becoming
more and more prevalent throughout
this country and is everywhere COM
handing attention from farmers who
are observant of conditions affecting
their crops.
Dodder is a parasitic plant depend

pieces of stems permitted to come in

tablished, makes rapid growth, branch

AN ILL FATED SHIP.
Mystery and Tragedy That Encom-
passed the Great Eastern.


There was a mystery about that i'll
fated ship. Nothing went right with
her. She stuck at the launch, and it
cost an extra S350.000 over and above
the sum set aside for the purpose to
get her into the water. On her trial
trip her boilers burst, killing some of
the stokers. Then she ran aground
and carried on so outrageously that
her crew thought her surely bewitched
She had started badly. While she was
building pay clerk sent by one OF
the contractors with $1,000 in wages
for the men disappeared. 1t was not
unnaturally assumed that he had bolt
ed with the money His wife and
family We're left unprovided for, with
the stigma of his supposed crime upon
them.
Thi~.y years after her launch the
Great Eastern went into the cemetery
at Birkenhead to be broken up. While
she was being taken to pieces the ship
breakers discovered between her inner
and outer castings of steel the skeleton
VI u maH. dpeio WHICH Hdu ldllen
from his clothes enabled his identity
to be traced 1t was the skeleton of
the pay clerk who thirty years before
had disappeared. There was no mon
ey; that was never recovered.
The superstition is that the poor fell
low on going on to the ship was pounc-
ed upon by workmen who knew that
he had the money with him; that they
stunned him and, having small place
in the side of the vessel to complete.
crammed his body in and built him up
in it. No reward would have induced
sailor to sail in that vessel had he
known of the terrible secret sealed up
in her walls.-Chicago News.

forming a tangled mass of threadlike
filaments. The total growth soon be-
comes very conspicuous and difficult
TO control.
The dodder plant is devoid of leaves
as well as of roots and usually devoid
of the green color common to other
plants. Dodder plants are to be distin-
guished by their slender, threadlike
stems, which are lemon yellow, or
ange or pink. There are several kinds
of dodder.
Climatic and weather conditions
strongly influence the growth and pro-
ductiveness of the dodders. Thus
small seeded alfalfa dodder so COM
mon In the west, appears to be I'M
known in the eastern states, and clo-
yer dodder produces so little seed in
this country that its seed rarely IL
ever is found in American grown red
clover seed or alfalfa seed.
Dodder seeds are very common
impurity of clover, alfalfa and flax
seed In the trade. Certain kinds are
more commonly found in domestic
than in foreign seed, while the con-
trary is true of other kinds. Low
grade seed imported from Europe gen.
orally contains dodder.
Dodder seeds can readily be distin-
guished from crop seeds by scotsman
or farmer using magnifying glass.
Certain kinds of dodder seeds can be
thoroughly cleaned from the best grade
of farm seed. Other kinds cannot be
wholly separated from the seed which
carries them

complaints from five families who

seems, are sensitive about that. There
are certain streets in town-those near
churches where many funerals are held
and those leading to the various Gene

funeral parties. Houses in those
streets are becoming poor investment.
There is more moving from those

was not committed to IL. Both sides
tried to land his vote, but up to the
time the roll was called there was no
certainty which way he would go.
II is charged that Cassidy's vote
against the bill was obtained by the
insertion OF the word mot" in tele-
gram sent to Cassidy by Congress-
man Fosetti and Dwight just before
the vote was taken. The telegram, as
filed read: John and | urge you to
