Less Dodder In Alfalfa.

There Is much less dodder in alfalfa
seed grown In the Northwest states
now than formerly. The number of
samples examined containing dodder
at the Oregon Agricultural college has
decreased from almost one-half, three
years ago, to about one-fourth at the
present time. The tests also showed
that the decrease In the number Of
dodder seeds In one pound Of alfalfa
seed Is fully as great. The marked
improvement In the purity Of the al
falfa seed is due TO the extensive tests
that have been made and the rejection
OF infested seed by dealers and farm
ers, according TO Miss Norma waddle,
expert tester Of the cooperative labo-
ratory. Miss Waddle also calls atten-
tion to the fact that the new state
pure-seed law prohibits the sale of
dodder-infested alfalfa seed. Chill
dren are being taught that when dod-
der has been eradicated from the fields
homegrown seeds will be bought more
largely by the farmers. This will be
great advantage TO the farmers who
grow the seed for sale and 10 the
farmers who wish to buy seed to SOW.

sor c. I. Lewis, horticulturist of the
Agricultural college. Jonathans are

parts Of the country, which tends to

About one-third of all apples sold by

boxes. There were about 5000 boxes
Of mixed sorts, almost 5000 boxes of
Winesaps, and varying quantities of

Arkansas Blacks brought $1.64 a

Hotbeds Are Valuable
in Every Farm Garden

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis-Hotbeds are artificial means of
giving seed and young plants the ben
eft of summer weather in early
spring. Aside from their aid in grow
ing crops that would not come to ma
turity otherwise, they have real eco
nomic value. By their means enough
plants for the home garden and some
to sell to the neighbors can be grown
at slight cost. As designed by the
garden specialist at the Oregon Agri-
cultural college, their construction is
simple and inexpensive. After the
first season there will be not further
money cost, as the glass may be stored
and kept for years. All other mater
ial and all labor are supplied by the
resources of the average farm.
The pit may be made by excavating
foot or two below the surface. The
sash is three feet by six feet, and the
frame is made to suit these dimen-
sions, rising eight inches above the
ground in front and twelve inches
above at the back, or north side. If
the pit Is made 18 inches deep it
should be filled Ia inches with manure
and six inches with good loan or other
garden soil. After the soil has cooled
to safe temperature the seeds are
sown. For early green food, let
tuce, radishes, and bunch onions are
good. These and other similar vege-
tables may be thus grown early in the
spring and late in the fall, greatly
lengthening the growing season.
