chase and use of dodder-free seed
can not be too strongly urged.
Clean seed, however, can not always
be secured, and therefore, cleaning
the seed is often necessary.
Frequently neither the purchaser
nor the seed dealer knows dodder
seed, and consequently in many cases
the first proof of its introduction is
the appearance in the field of the
weed itself.
In view of these facts, the New

20 by 20 mesh steelwire cloth.
This quantity of wire cloth ought
not to cost more than 15 or 20 cents.
1t is important that the wire cloth
used be exactly 20 by 20 mesh, which
may be determined by placing ruler
on the sieve or cloth and counting
the number of spaces to the inch.
With a sieve Of this kind it is esti
mated that a man can clean from
three to seven bushels of alfalfa seed
per day.
From one-fourth to one-half pound
Of seed, and no more, should be put
into the sieve at time and vigorous
ly shaken for one-half minute.
To make the work uniformly
thorough the use of cup holding not
over half a pound Of seed and careful
timing OF the sitting is recommended.
II the seed contains but little dod-
der one sitting may do, but when
much dodder is present and particu-
larly If it is of the large-seed variety,
two siftings, both made strictly as
directed, are advised.

Alfalfa seed is larger than dodder
seed and advantage was taken of this
fact by the station to perfect
method by which commercial alfalfa
seed may be made practically free
from dodder and safe to SOW.
1t was found that dodder seeds are
readily removed by sitting through a
wire sieve having 20 meshes to the
inch.
