GORLipME ; I J224 East 12 South Street SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 1 " RGRIGULTURE j FIELD CROPS; Dodder. (Love Vine.) One of the worst enemies of the alfalfa plant is dodder. It seems to be a pest that is rapidly spreading over the country and clover and al falfa both suffer from the presence of this parasitic plant. Once started in a field, through dodder in the clov er or alfalfa seed, it rapidly spreads and the -small brown spots where the alfalfa dies out rapidly increase ..in size until the whole field is infect r cd and the crop spoilt before the- mis chief is appreciated and it is too late to do anything. In Pennsylvania it has spread to such am extent that the Experiment Station issued a bulletin" from which the following method of destroying the pest is taken: "It is not very often that clover dodder spreads over the entire field during the first year from -seeding, but the second year it is likely to be much more prevalent owing to the abundance of seed scattered. The small patches or single plants from which it spreads, if discovered in time, may be scraped with a hoc, clover and all, and oarricd from the field. Care rraust be exercised, however, noc to scatter any loose sprigs of dodder, as these may take hold and grow ii thcy chance to fall on green clover. If the infested patches have attained considerable size a ring eighteen inch es to two feet wide may be scraped around them to prevent further spreading, but this method docs not prevent the maturing and scattering of the seed. Sometimes the infested spots may be covered with straw or other rubbish and burned over. "Perhaps an easier way to hold these small spots in check and pre vent them from spreading further i3., to spray them with a- two or. throe per cent solution of copper sulphate. It would be desirable to dcroy the dodder and leave the clover ending but this is very difficult as the por tions of the dodder stem entwining the clover wilt not be killed and new growth will start froni them, How- ' ever, a solution of one pound of cop per sulphate to from four to six gal lons of water applied with a spray pump until the plants are thoroughly wet will' be effective, and even if the clover plants arc killed it will serve also to hold the dodder in check and I prevent it fromi spreading or seeding. a If this is done in the fall it may be necessary to repeat the application 1 again in the spring in order to pre- I vent further spread before the clover U is ready to cut. R "In case the entire ficW is affected fl two things may be done: The mea dow may be heavily pastured or the sod may be plowed under. In case I the crop is pastured the clover may be saved to the use of the stock, but at the same time viable dodder seed may remain in the soil and become ( troublesome again next year, unless the land is put in corn or some other cereal crop. If the sod is turned under this fall, the soil will) be ameli orated by the clover and the land may be planted to corn, potatoes or some grass or cereal crop next year. This latter is perhaps the surer meth od of eradicating the dodder." OUR TREES: HOW TO KNOW THEM. The Dcserct Farmer is in receipt of a splendid 'book on "Our Trees: m Hov to Know Them." The book is I profusciy illustrated and goes in some detail until one could recognize the various trees al any season of the year. Thcrc arc also notes on their characteristics, distribution, and cul ture. .The book furnishes a splendid opportunity for a more intimate ac- quaintance with our American trees, and is from the press of the J. B. Lip pincott Company of Philadelphia. The writer seldom -takes a ride along any of our public highways without a discussion comes up re- , garding some of the trees that arc found in these localities. A study of this book will give one just the in . formation he needs to intelligently discuss this subject. The pictures upon the plates have all been taken direct from nature, and they have been brought together in such a way that the unscientific reader can recog nize at a glance, either the whole tree or the leaves, flowers, fruits, or r twigs, and thus be able to identify with ease and certainty any unknown tree to which his attention may be called. ' J The book can be obtained through T the Descret Farmer at $3,00, in com- I bination with the Deseret Farmer. 1
