Trang 3Dodder is an unusual and unwanted plant that attacks other plants Except for its flowers, the plant looks like spaghetti noodles Its almost leafless, thread–like stems hang down atop other plants that dodder needs to stay alive Dodder does not produce its own food Instead, it steals
it from other plants It feeds by sucking juices from the plant it is wrapped around, often
making its host very weak or even killing it
Dodder can find other plants by their smell When a dodder seedling starts growing, it follows the scent of plants it prefers, like tomato plants, potato plants, or other farm crops Unlike most plants that usually grow in the direction of light or warmth, a dodder plant will grow in the direction of, for example, tomato odor––if a tomato happens to be growing nearby
However, a young dodder plant must find a host plant quickly If it cannot catch a whiff of a
potential host within a few days, it will dry up and disappear—even if there is plenty of water around Once it finds a host, the young dodder plant will attach itself to it and start growing faster At that point, the dodder plant will drop its root
Dodder is thus a difficult weed to manage and a real headache for farmers When it does get out of hand, dodder can greatly reduce a farmer’s harvest or even destroy crops completely.
Before sowing their produce, farmers in warm parts of the world often check to make sure no unwanted dodder seeds have intermingled with their crop seeds This is a good way to stop dodder plants from sneaking their way into a crop field

Trang 5In addition to their military role, the forts of the nineteenth century provided numerous other benefits for the American West The establishment of these posts opened new roads and provided for the protection of daring adventurers and expeditions as well as established settlers Forts also served as bases where enterprising entrepreneurs could bring commerce to the West, providing supplies and refreshments to soldiers as well as to pioneers Posts like Fort Laramie provided supplies for wagon trains traveling the natural highways toward new frontiers Some posts became stations for the pony express; still others, such as Fort Davis, were stagecoach stops for weary travelers All of these functions, of course, suggest that the contributions of the forts to the civilization and development of the West extended beyond patrol duty
Through the establishment of military posts, yet other contributions were made to the development of western culture Many posts maintained libraries or reading rooms, and some – for example, Fort Davis – had schools Post chapels provided a setting for religious services
and weddings Throughout the wilderness, post bands provided entertainment and boosted
morale During the last part of the nineteenth century, to reduce expenses, gardening was encouraged at the forts, thus making experimental agriculture another activity of the military The military stationed at the various forts also played a role in civilian life by assisting in maintaining order, and civilian officials often called on the army for protection
Certainly, among other significant contributions the army made to the improvement of the conditions of life was the investigation of the relationships among health, climate, and architecture From the earliest colonial times throughout the nineteenth century, disease
ranked as the foremost problem in defense It slowed construction of forts and inhibited their
military functions Official documents from many regions contained innumerable reports of sickness that virtually incapacitated entire garrisons In response to the problems, detailed observations of architecture and climate and their relationships to the frequency of the occurrence of various diseases were recorded at various posts across the nation by military surgeons
