Says There Is Less Dodder in ' Alfalfa Which Aids Grower, - (Brwrliil to Th Jonrnal.) Oregon Agricultural College, Corval 1U. Or., Feb. 28. On 6t the moat en. couraglng things that 1 can be taught snhoo! children during alfalfa week la the urgent need of purity of alfalfa seed. It is highly justifying to be able to tell them In this connection that there Is much leas dodder In the al falfa seed grown In Oregon and other northwest states now than formerly. According to the, seed tests conducted by the seed expert of the Oregon agri cultural college cooperative seed labor atory, Miss Norma Waddle, the de- crease In the percentage of alfalfa seed that la ' dodder-lnfestd Is about equal to the decrease In the percentage of dodder In the infested seed. Concern ing this great Improvement In the pur ity of alfalfa seed grown la the north, west,' Miss Waddle ways: "Probably no more discouraging problem confronts the alfalfa grower '. and seedman in the northwest than ' that of obtaining alfalfa seed free from dodder. We can readily understand - this when we consider that the dodder vine growing parasltically on the al- ;folfa plant Is very difficult to eradi- j cate, that It produces seed proiusely throughout the summer, and that it Is almost Impossible to separate these teds from the alfalfa st-ed. ' S odder Is Eliminated "Farmers and seeds men who are familiar with the dodder situation in the northwost will undoubtedly be ln . terestod In learning' that there has been a notable decrease this year In the amount of dodder seed present In the samples -of alfalfa tested In the Co operative Seed Testing laboratory , at the" Oregon Agricultural college. In 1911-1912 4 per cent of the alfalfa samples tested for purity contained 1 dodder, in 1912-1913. 41 per cent, and In 1913-1914 only 27 per cent. This is still a very large percentage trtit a marked Improvement. "Not only has there been a decrease In the i ; il.tr of alfalfa samples con- " talnlng doil lpd, but also In the amoun of dodder In these samples. Last year alfalfa sample's averaged 606 dodder seods per pound, this year 185. Last year samples contained as many as 24,300 dodder seeds per pound, and this .year the largest amount In any sample was 8771 seed per pound. . "The 'enforcement of pure seed laws in many states, and the work of the seed testing laboratories are .'largely responsible for these Improved condi tions. Oregon is Just now beginning- to ; put her new pure sed law Into opera tion. This law prohibits the sale in Oregon of seed containing dodder. Besd Imported Trom Abroad. "The market for alfalfa seed grow ers In the middle west, has been very seriously affected by the presence of dodder In such large quantities. Some of the large seed houses have prac tically given up buying alfalfa seed grown in certain middle western states because of the difficult. If not impos sible of obtaining seed free from dod der. These' seed houses are importing alfalfa seed from abroad because it is .dodder free. This is bad for the north- t west farmer for two reasons it de prives him of a market for his seed, and It Introduces an Inferior train of 'alfalfa Into fields, since much of the .imported alfalfa is nut as hardy and well adapted to northwest conditions tas home grown seed. "The outlook Is much more hopeful now that the farmers have the oppor tunity of having seeds tested free of charge by United States and state lab. .oratories, and now that the states are requiring seed to be of a certain stand- 1 ard of purity, and are prohibiting the sale of seed containing dodder. Un der these conditions that quality of agricultural seeds Is bound to improve and the market for such seed will lm , prove correspondingly." CD0,S SETTLERS MAY GET LAND CLAIMS Marshfield. Or., Feb. 28. Twenty or more Coos county men will be a-j fectcd by a recent decision of the in- ! terlor department regarding the Hyde i Benson alleged fraudulent forest lieu ' selections. The department in one case , decided in favor of actual settlers con testing such land and holds that such actual settlers are entitled to prefer ence lights of entry of the tracts in volved after the cancellation of the selections! A year or mor ago a number of j Marshfield men and others from dif ferent parts of the county filed on these claims, which are located mostly in the southern pert of the county. In almost every case; the men who filed have become actual settlers, and have built cabins and otherwise improved their claims. On account of the de cision of the interior department the Coos county men are hopeful of win ning the land. The land In question Is highly valuable because of the tlm- . ber. -f- 0REG0N l?0WER CO.
