RIGHT MEASURES
 70 KILL D0DDER
Experts Say Discovery of This Parasite on Farm Is No
 Cause for Serious Alarm.
PLAN FOR ITS INTERPRETATION
Pest Does Not Cause Damage if Rem edies Are Applied Before It Gets Foothold-Prevent Seed
 From Maturing.
Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture
 If remedies to exterminate dodder- the parasitic plant infesting clover al- falfa, and some other plants-ars ap- piled before it gets foothold. the pest does not cause serious damage. If, however, dodder is permitted to de velop unmolested, radical measures will be necessary in order to control it.
 During recent years, specialists of the department say an increase in the number of complaints of dodder have been received from all parts of the United States. They add. however, that the discovery of this parasite on the farm should not be the occasion of serious alarm. but rather for the employment of well-conceived and systematic plan for its extermination.
 Starts in Small Patches.
 During the first season of infesta- ton. in clover or alfalfa, dodder usual ly occurs In small scattered areas As is the case in combating all weeds, 1t is essential that dodder should not be permitted to mature seed. and such small infested areas should be moved and the dodder removed or burned In the field to prevent the development of seed. If seed has formed. burning the patches of dodder is the only rem edy, since it kills not only the plants hut also any seeds which may be ly- ing on the surface of the soil.
 If infeStation is so great that patch treatment cannot be depended upon. 1t will be necessary, in order to free the farm of the pest, either te blow the crop under or utilize it for hay before seed has formed. In the latter case, the aftermath left on the field should be closely grazed, for which purpose sheep are especially useful. If the infeStation is general and threatens seriously to damage succeeding crops. tt may be necessary, according to the bulletin. to cut the crop. allow it to dry. and burn it in the field in order that all dodder seed may be destroyed.
 inferior Seed Blamed.
 As with all weeds, preventing intro duction on the farm is far easier than eradication after it has once gained a foothold. It is usually introduced by the use of impure seed, and a bull letin urges that farmers learn to dis tincuiSh dodder seed so that they can

DAYLIGHT SAVING

Railroads Adopt New Plan Sun
 day-Standard Time Here

Tomorrow is the day when the railroads go on daylight saving, but this city will conform to regular The factories and stores will follow the eastern standard time which it is expected will affoct the general business transactions throughout the city.
 The problem at the local post of fec has been solved by having the working force go to work one-half an hour earlier. and having the mails close one hour earlier so that the same train connections can be made. The stamp window will fol- low the regular schedule and be open from $40 in the morning 10 9 o'clock at night. The last mail at night will close at s:45 D. m. at the office The night collections will be advanced one hour. and the registry window will be open one-half an hour earlier. The office will close at II o'clock Sunday instead of 12 o'clock. The changes are due to the fact that the railroads are on daylight saving.
 Stanley Eddy. local manager of Richter and company. brokers, said this morning that the working force of his establishment would be con- trolled by the stock wire, and as New York. and consequently the stock market there was on daylight saving, it would necessitate some changes leading to earlier schedules of business. As New Britain is on eastern time. Manager Eddy is now working on a system whereby Richter and company can conform more closely to the industrial life in this city. The same schedule will prob ably ber followed out at keough and company. brokers. Judd and com pany will most likely follow the schedule of eastern time, as they deal almost exclusively in local stocks.
