FIGHTING WEEDS.

An Ohio Farmer Tells How He Did 1t
With FIattering Success.
/ fought weeds and grasses thirty
years, or more on the Ohio farm, and L
learned some things that may be of ben
eft to the young farmer.
One is that there is seldom a case
where it is worth while to fight them
with hand work. / once had the task
.of extirpating several rows of black
!berries from lot which l wished tor
other crops. I spent great deal nf
time pulling them up by the roots to the
last rootlet no larger than a wheat
straw, but they came up ten times as
thick us before. / found ultimately
that. beyond pulling out few malH
roots, it was not worth while to bother
with hand work; that repeated thorough
blowing, turning every thing under as
soon as it showed itself, was the most
ef1icaeious method.
So with wild mornin g-glory, which is
a great pest in rich river meadows, fire.
quently binding the sw;ath together so
that it can be lifted entirely a red long
or more. My father found himself
obliged 30 pillow up thess meadows oc-
casiOnalIy, IN an effort to get rid If this
and of plantain. sour dock. etc. l used
to spend days when ! was a boy, pick
ING cut morning-glory roofs from the
burrows and throwing them in heaps to
dry. Later in life | founS that thor
ough cultivation of ahe grorERd in sosle
hoed crop. especially some late crop, as
turnips, would accomplish the same OF
iect much better and with nauch less
work.
In fact, this is general principle,
that blowing and cultivation in mid
Summer or in the fall are more eifectual
in destroying most weeds, bushes and
grass. than the same in kind and amount
would be in the spring. This is, | sup
pose. because in the spring vegetation |
is full of vigor and recuperative power; ]
while later in the season it is somewhat !
spent, and if moved off or plowed under |
lust before the. seed is ripe enough to
grow, it receives a severe blow.

other weeds have given me a GREAT deal
OF trouble at different times I learned
that 1t was waste of time and labor
generally to NOW them off The best
way is to turn them under ten inches
deep or more before their seeds are
formed, make the soil very mellow with
ale cultiyator and harrow, then firm
with the roller, and grow crop OF tur-
nips on It, followed by clover in the
spring. The clover seed should be sown
thick, say six quarts per acre-seven or
eight would be still better-to cover the
ground completely and smother every
thing else
Another way equally as good is to
sow wheat and clover-the latter in the
spring, of course-and then NOW the
clover the next summer, four. five or
5 X weeks after harvest, according to
the season and the growth. Of course
there Will be lot of bleached wheat
Sfubbie III the hay. but the sheep will
sort out the Glove: thoroughly and be
glad to do it: while the wheat and the
clover will have subdued the weeds, and
the ground will be nicely cleaned for
next summers moving.
Sheep will kill ironweed effectually,
and no other stock will.
L have fifty acres of river bottom,
fourth plateau, sand and gravel, on
which sorrel used to trouble me a good
deal; also on the ground and third
plateaus, Il light sandy alluvium
Leached wood ashes, thickly scattered
on the ground for several years, finally
eXterminated the sorrel on the latter
class of SOil-not only that, but restored
the timothy to complete ascendancy-
but l had enough ashes to dress only
about one acre year. was satisfied
the ashes did it, because in the fence
row where none was applied, the sorre
run the timothy entirely out and held
the fort.
Where l had no ashes to apply, | ha,
to depend on thorough cultivation and
manure. There is one prominent ridge,
particularly. third and fourth plateaus
combined, consisting partly of sand and
gravel, partly of a sandy yellow allu-
vium. The Gsorrel was very trouble.
some there. Finally / emptied three
big sheep houses on it, and plowed it
ten inches deep. That did the business
for the sorrel and the corn grew so high
a man could hardly hang his hat on
some of the ears.-!Stephep PoWers, IN
