During the last few years and es-

receiving an increasing number OF
complaints about dOdder This weed
is often found in clover and lesped-

Dodder is rather a troublesome weed
and because of this il should not be
allowed to grow unmOlested. This is

and lives entirely on the plant. 1t is
noticed in the fields as a slender
twining plant. tough, and usually
yellow or orange in color. The tiny
flowers occur in clusters and may be
white, yellow or pink. Many seeds

during the first year of infestation,

the form of yellowish areas. If this

the entire field will be yellow in col

should be either moved and removed
before the seed natures or else
burned in the field. If seed has al

remedy.
II the infestation is so great that
patch treatment is impracticable, the

utilized for hay and the aftermath
closely grazed to prevent seed from
forming. II seed has already formed

the safest method is to cut the crop,

Dodder does not attack cereals,

BLOOMFIELD, N. j., May 81
The other 1859 guys who will shoot
for the National Open golf title at
Cleveland June 6-8 might as well
take warning now-Craig Wood,
the champion almost" man of the
golf1ng business, finally has reached
the stage OF winning an important
tournament.
Wood, 80 years old and veteran
of good many years Of pro cam
paigning, has missed more titles in
playoffs or by narrow margins than
most golfers hope to win in a life
time But there wasn't any almost"
about the way he took the Metro
politan Open crown at the Forest
Hill Field Club.
Starting with a 6-under-par for
q course and tournament record
Friday, the blond bomber followed
up with rounds of 66, SO and 66 for
a 72-hole total Of 264. This was not
the lowest four-round total ever re-
corded, but it was believed to be a
record for important competition on
a full-length course. The only better
score for a major event shown in
the record books was 262, made over
the short San Reno course in italy
by Percy Alliss when he won the
1885 Italian Open title.
Wood won by an 11-stroke margin
