A UGH care should re exercised
MI to prevent the presence Of dod-
ASA der in Alfalfa fields. once it
gets a start, the mo owing, rakins and
hauling tend to spreai and scaller the
centers of infection until the whole
field is choked out
The New York experiment station at
Geneva thus describes the results of
dodder in alfalfa:
'-Dodder is yellow, thread-libe
twining weed which is exceedingly
troublesome in alfalfa fields. It ap-
pears in circular spots to 80 feet in
diameter. At the center of the spot
the alfalfa is killed out, while around
the margin the ground is covered with
a mat of yellow threads which Irvine
closely about the stems Of the alfalfa
plants and slowly strangle them. The
spots increase in size from year 20
year. Many fields have been COM
pletely ruined by dodder. 1t is not
often injurious to other crops Except
red clover), but once established in an
alfalfa field it is very difficult to Grad
icate without killing the alfalfa"
Dodder in alfalfa is usually intro
duced with the seed, and too great care
cannot be exercised in obtaining seed
that is free from this noXiouS weed. 1t
is often true that neither the seller nor
the purchaser is sufficiently well ac
quainted with the appearance of al
falfa seed to detect the presence of foul
seeds, hence its appearance in the field
is often the first intimation the grower
has that there was dodder in his seed.
1t may be difficult to obtain clean seed
and in any case it is a wise precaution
to purchase seed by sample and have
same examined. This will be done
without charge by the botanist. A. & NJ

Mrs. Israel Grenell died Sunday after
noon at her home in the southeast part
Of our city. She has been feeble for
years, yet at times she would be quite
spry and would come up town and visit
friends, but was always subject to
heart failure. She was complaining
but few days and the end came quite
suddenly and peacefully, without suf-
fering, and now she has gone to be
with her dear husband, who died few
years ago leaving her here to battle
with the world, fortunately surrounded
by loving children and grandchildren
who were always looking after her
welfare. The funeral was held at the
family home Tuesday afternoon, with
a large circle OF sympathizing friends
present, and burial was made In Mt.
Allen cemetery beside her husband.
She had lived nearly her four score
years was devouts:hristian and ready
to go whenl the herdi called her home.
