Keeping the Farm clear OF weeds.

Keeping the Farm Clear OF Weeds.
The government agricultural depart
ment is trying to impress upon the
farmers of this country the truth Of
the familiar maxim, God helps those
who help themselves" The direct loss
in crops, the damage to machinery
and stock and the decrease in the
value of land due to weeds in this
country, is estimated ut tens of mil
lions Of dollars a year. This loss ID
sustained almost wholly hy the farm.
ers. A gcvs1nment report urges the
cooperation of the whole agricultural
community on this question. In many
cases weeds cannot be exterminated,
and their reduction to a state Of com
parative harmlessness is all that can
be looked for. Land owners should be
on the watch for new plants, and
learn their character, If possible, be-
fore they become established as az
gressive weeds on farms. This is prac-
tically the only possible means Of ex
termination, unless public sentiment
is aroused to a more vigorous and uni
versal destruction of weeds. The OIL
ciel bulletin on the subject insists that
any species can be subdued and CON
trOlled within the limits Of an ordinary
farm, and unless the value of land u
low from other causes this work can
be profitably undertaken. Prevention
of seed production is cases of ANNALS
will gradually reduce the quantity Of
weeds and prevent further spreading.
This is accomplished in cultivated
fields by burning over to destroy az
many as possible of the seeds on the
surface, and successive blowing is re.
quired. Broken lands should not be
permitted to remain idle, and moving
or cutting of the main stems of weeds
ls deprecated as multiplying the stalks.
They should be cut below the crown
and killed.
