Weeds. and when to Destroy TheI-.


Weeds are only secondary to insects
in their Injurious effects to crops and soils.
Perhaps you never have thought about the
natter seriously, but useless weeds pro-
iuce a great deal of damage one way or
another in every section of our country.
Scan the pastures of our own section and
see to what extent the yield of grain is
diminished by either rag weed or horse
nettle, or dock, or jlmson weed, a cookie
bur or other weed, that stock will not eat.
Our bottom lands that should furnish mag
nifcent grazing, are absolutely overrun
with cookie bur and nettle and to such eX-
tent as to render them almost worthless.
If YOU have land infested by these weeds
BY all means do all you can right now to-
wards Kidding the soil of them. OF course
we do not refer to any weeds that may
be made useful for furnishing vegetable
matter, but only to those that are alb
solute pests and that have taken possess
sion of the pastures and meadows and
lawns and fence corners, and all those
that have sprung up about the stables
and COW yards and like places. Now be-
fore they go to seed every one ought 10
be killed. II should be as much part
Of the years work destroying weeds as
repairing fences. The three great infiu-
success are insects blight and weeds.
Their combined effects sometimes is such
as to prevent any profit to the years work.
If allowed to remain weeds do great
damage in the orchard, vineyard, pasture
and meadow. There are some few weeds
that can be made very useful, but the
majority are only fit for destruction. The
ragweed, properly utilized, may be made
to supply humus as well almost as crop
of peas. and it also makes a very fair
forage, but 1t is about the only weed that
infests our lands that can be made 10
make some return for its presence. The
dog fennils, white and yellow, are not
less noxious than the nettle cocklebur
and jimson weed. The yellow or autumn
variety is now in bloom. They should be
carefully mown and not one allowed to
perfect seeds if it is possible to prevent
it. Some sections of our county are be-
ing encroached upon so by injurious weeds
as to bring almost despair to many farm
ers who have to contend with them. The
Russian thistle in the northwest threat
ems 10 be a plague quite equal In de-
struction to army worm drought or blight.
Our coco is harmless compared to 1t and
the Canada thistle.
The southern farmer has at least
half-dozen weeds that will cause him great
damage if he does not prosecute vigor-
GUS war against them. This we should
do without further delay.
