Weeds and Good Farmir,.

Occasionally a farmer is heard to ask
how the weeds can be killed, but he
does not realize that If by some rapid
process they could all be dispatched
new legions would fill their places at
once if the conditions which they enjoy
remain. What farmers need to compre-
hend is that without some radical mis-
take in the management of their land
the daisies would never have gained
such foothold. All plants, including
weeds, settle and thrive where the COM
petition for life is such that they can
enter into 1t and prosper. A good stand
OF grass leaves no room nor any hope
for weeds. 1t is not in well titled fields
that Canada thistles flourish. but in
neglected pastures and by the roadsides.
In the contest with the best agricultural
practice they cannot prevail. The rem
e'lN for weeds is to keep the land busy
with good crop on it, and this means
That the farmers must give persistent
ana connected thought to his business.
III the daisies crowd out the grass, it is
because the meadow has been neglected
and the grass has begun to fail, and
wherever there is a vacancy by the
failure of the grass every enterprisins
weed finds a rightful opportunity to es-
tablish itself. If the farmer asks, there.
fore. what will kill the daisies there is
one answer: better farming.
