When Rye Is a Nuisance.

Rye is an excellent crop for certain
use when grown by itself, but when
the grain becomes mixed with wheat
it is as bad as weeds and it is almost
impossible to separate them. This, of
course. lowers the quality of the
wheat, injuring the price for market
and the quality of the flour if taken to
the mill. AS rye shoots up ahead of
the wheat the heads can easily be cut
off with a sickle before they ripen.
However, wheat should be carefully
cleaned befrse it is sown because the
greatest possible care cannot prevent
more or less of the rye maturing with
the crop of wheat. ---.
