In the course Of his wanderings he

Gen Bumblethorp is not an active man.

Facts About Them vvhloh lSavo
Recently Been Found Out n En-
gland. S@S \.
Tne Farmers' Gazette of London re.
Gently made some practical remarks
about weeds and whence they come.
It is probable, according to this arti-
Gle, that the six most obnoxious weeds
found on arabic soil are the dock, this.
tie. nettle. charlock, the poppy, and
bind weed. A weed is defined a. any
plant out Of place. Cultivated erassel
are frequently found growing in narabls
fields, and there they are distinctly
weeds. inasmuch as they are fed upon
the food which the cultivated crop re-
qutres and occupy the space which IL
should occupy.
In answer to the question whence
weeds come there are (writes corre-
spondent of the Manchester Guardian)
''eight replies given, to one or two Of
which I may refer. It is remarked
that the seeds Of weeds are often pres
ent among the seeds which are sown,
and that especially is this the case in
grass seeds To guard against this
the farmer should 60 to seedsmen who
are known to have taken great precau-
tions in the cleaning Of their seeds.
Further, it is remarked that many
seeds are introduced with manure
which is distributed upon the land.
The wind is responsible for carrying
the seeds Of weeds both into our gar.
dens and fields. and this is the one
reason why farmers should not only
keep their fields but their hedgerows
also clean. The hedgerows are the cause
of great deal of mischief, as we'll as
the strips Of land on either side of the
high road, which nobody owns and
which few attempt to clean.
''If the farm is to be kept free from
weeds, the hedges, the bitches, and the
roadsides must be kept clean also.
Among other methods of distributing
seed, it is suggested that running sur.
face waters and streams carry them
from field to field, that seeds are drop-
ped by birds and are found in their
manure, while others are carried in
the mud on their feet Again, some
seeds cling to domestic animals and
even to the clothing of the men. 1T is
remarked that after the invasion OF
France by the Germans weeds which
had been carried by the German army
appeared in some places where they
had been practically unknown before"
