To Kill Coco. "A contributor "a
the Agricultural Department Of the
New Orleans Times gives the follow
ing method for the destruction Of
coco. 1t may be worthy Of = trial :
"Plow the soil as early in the spring
as possible roplow in the month d
April, and SOW the land broadcast in
peas at the rate of one buHhel per
acre. The pea vines will shade out
the COCO the first year to such an
extent thst scarcely q blade viii be
visible the following season. Should
any make it, appearance repeat the
operation. This Is the only practi-
cal method we know of to get rid d
COCO. The vines may be used foz
hay, and nothing will be lost.
