AVOID DoDDER INFEsTATloN
Farmer Should Use Plants Known to
Be immune to Attacks Of
Pestiferous Weed.

The necessity of selecting plants
immune to dOdder infestation when
cultivating newly cleared land was
emphasized by report which recently
reached the United States Department
of Agriculture concerning the destruc-
ton of an entire field Of eggplant on a
newly cleared field in Pennsylvania.
So bad was the infestation that not q
single fruit was formed on the para
sitized plants and the entire field was
destroyed. The dodder was determined
as hazel dOdder, a species not un-
common on hazel and other wild
shrubs and on tick trefoil and other
wild herbs. but never previously re-
ported on cultivated plants. The de-
partment recommends that on land
known to contain the seeds of dodder,
farmers should use plants which are
immune to attacks of the pest. The
following plants are not susceptible
to injury by dodder; corn, soy beans,
velvet beans, cowpeas, and small
grains such as oats, wheat, and rye.
Potatoes and buckwheat, crops
commonly used on newly cleared land,
are not very likely to be injured by
dodder, but truck crops should not
be planted on land known to contain
dodder seeds.

they pretended to be-old-time friends

together there for the first time by
appointment. Neither had previously
known the other. l had even detected
fear, doubt, in the expression of the
girls face.
Yet | dare not move, or attempt to
follow them. l could only sit quietly,
my eyes on the window fronting the
street. watched intently. but no
shadows passed that way-the two had
not turned down Cans street.
My mind worked rapidly as sat
there motionless, afraid to make the
slightest move lest it arouse suspicion.
Whatever the object of the meeting
might be, JAMS was more or less in
volved. He had signaled to the girl
twice, and his words. however inno-
cent they may have sounded, must
have brought warning to the man.
Beyond doubt he had questioned me
with the distinct purpose of thus dis
covering why l had drifted into the
place. | dismissed utterly his state
ment that the young woman was his
niece-her very appearance gaye that
the lie.
Something was wrong, perhaps not
criminal, perhaps in no way associated
with the affair which had brought me
into that neighborhood, and yer sus-
pieiously wrong, and l felt inexorably
driven to find out what Ii all meant.
| finished my beer slowly, and then
selected cigar from the case and lit
it deliberately. Jams leaned over the
bar. speaking confdentially, and had
to remain, although I cursed inwardly
at the delay. Yet broke away at last.
