NARROW LEAF DOCK.
An Undesirable Weed, Which Ought to BE
Eradicated.

Eradicated.
This is an undesirable weed that finds
it's way into many moving fields. and
thus scatters its seed wherever the ma
nure of the barn is spread. When this
plant once gets good foothold on a
farm. it is no easy matter TO get rid of
it. The land may be plowed and cul-
tivated two Or even three years, and
then somehow when it is again laid
down to grass, dock roots VIII be al
most the first thing to appear; the
seeds lay in the ground waiting ia
vorable opportun. ty. are brought from
some other portion of the farm, or quite
likely may be sown with the grass
seed. and introduced in this way, as
are many other undesirable plants.
How to get good grass seed free from
sorrel, dock, wild carrot and a host of
other weed seeds is one of the important
questions of the day. The time seems to
be approaching when every farmer who
expects to keep his farm free from unde-
sirable plants will have to grow his
own grass seed; even then he will have
to fight at least seven years battle
to get rid of weeds already introduced
on his farm; but the moment he is able
to stop the introduction of any more,
it is only question of time, with clean
culture, when he will be able to con-
quer. When the farmer is determined
to get rid of the unsightly dock in his
moving fields he must make up his
mind to get rid of it at the same time
all over his farm, for it is useless to
try to get rid of it in one field while it is
perfectlng its seeds on all other parts
of the farm. To do this requires time
and patience, but as the dock is plant
that runs up quite high before it seeds,
it is readily seen even at distance. es-
pee ally if it is perm tied to stand un-
til it is in full blossom; at tn stage of
it's growth its stalk is strong enough
to pull the whole plant up. including
the entire root This is rather hard
work. but a good strong man will pull
up large number in day. AS this
is the end of them. we are inclined to
think it is the best way to get rid of
this plant.
When it is decided to do this there
should be no half way about it, but
the whole farm should be cleared, or
the labor will be lost; to simply pull
the plants from a single field and
leave the rest of the farm untouched
would be of very little use. for the
seed would blow from the other
fields SO that in two years the plants
would be just as plenty as before any
of them were pulled up.
Farmers should always be on the
watch for undesirable weeds that so
often find their way into the moving
fields; if taken when they first
appear it is not so difficult to CONQUER
them. but if neglected until they have
rtnonad THAR Saad IL ic ,,uah y,,1,.o J:a.
cult to root them out. If farmers
when they sow down a field to grass
would pull out all of the undes rable
plants before they have time to perfect
their seed, it would save much labor in
after years in keeping their farm in
good condition. Massachusetts Plou0h-
