HOW TO KILL DODDERS

Dodders are parasitic plants
that live on clovers, alfalfa and
flax. They grow from seeds
which mature just about the
same time of the host plants
maturity. Thus, the seeds, about
the size of alsyke clover seeds,
are easily transported from one
field or farm or community or
state to another.
When planted with the host
plant seeds, the dodder seeds
grow. The young plant sways
about until coming in contact
with it's host. It twines about
it and fastens tiny sucker-like
branches to the clover, alfalfa,
or flax. When thus well attached
it dies off at the ground and lives
on the juices of the host plant.
The dodders are ANIMALS, twining,
much branched and practically
without leaves. The stems are
pale pink or reddish in color,
nearly round and about the size
of a cotton wrapping cord. It
is easily noticeable when present
in field. To locate it, however,
it is necessary to walk back and
forth through the field. A stick
or lath will mark the spot until
it is destroyed. When present
only in an occasional spot the
plants may be killed by moving
close to the ground and about
three feet beyond the apparent
limit of dodder growth. The hay
may be burned on the spot, care
fully raked up and fed or hauled
off and destroyed. Revisit the
spots in about a week and see if
any of the second growth has
dodder attached. Sprinkling with
kerosene, gasoline or iron sui
plate will also kill it. A gallon
to the square rod will do the job.
If it is scattered all through the
field, cut the crop for hay just
before the clover comes into
bloom. Then there will be no
dodder seeds formed and the hay
will contain no seeds. After the
clover is in bloom there is dan
ger of dodder seeds being in the
hay. A four year rotation with
corn or potatoes or both once
In the four year cycle is recon-
mended. The corn or potato
cultivation must be thorough to
keep any possible clover and
dodder from coming up in the
hills. Cut the corn close to the
ground. Don't pillow, but disk
the land in the spring. Thus, no
old dodder seeds to the surface.
Plant grain and disk the stubble
thoroughly after harvest. Plow
early and this will induce the
seeds to terminate if brought to
the surface. Repeat the rotation.
In 8 years there should be no
more danger, unless foul seed is
again sown.
This weed and dodder question
is serious in view of the annual
increase of alfalfa, sweet clover
and flax being sown. Your town
chairman is the local weed in
spector. Help him do the work
that becomes his duty according
to the law and by virtue of his
office.
