Weed Seeds Among Corn Fodder.


To the average Eastern farmer tina
feeding of corn fodder, whether cut
and dried Or put in the silo, would
seem the best guarantee against intro
duciHg weed seeds into the manEe
pile. But the Western methods Of
growing corn allow many weeds Is
grow, and wien these are established
in the rows where no cultivator can
reach them they ripen their seeds. In
cutting the, corn some of these mature
seeds are carried along with the fod-
der, and their seeds are left to fall OH
the manure pile. 1t is quite certain
that the injury to Western land by al
lowing weeds to so to seed among
corn is greater by far than would have
been the cost of always giving the crop
such thorough cultivation as to prevent
the weeds from reaching maturity
