Seeds and Weeds.

Unclean seed has more to do with
the distribution of weeds than all
other causes combined These are
brought upon our farm from garden
and field seeds from foreign countries
Russian faXseed is responsible for the
introduction Of the Russian thistle,
which first appeared upon a single
farm, and now covers over 10000
square miles of the United States. AL
falfa, beet, turnip and other field and
garden seeds imported from Europe
are the potent cause of the contamina-
ton of our lands with farm weeds.
Nor are the farmers of this country
at all particular in saving their seeds,
fields containing weeds often being set
aside for a seed crop, insuring the
foulest seeds in many cases. And then,
in the purchase of seeds, the farmer
is not careful to buy pure seed only,
but plants whatever some dealer offers
him. Until these methods are done
away with we must expect to have new
pernicious weeds constantly appearing
among our crops.

after a rain or while the cabbages are
wet with dew sift sulphur over them,
we'll down among the leaves, two or
three times a week. If there is neither
rains nor dew, wet the cabbage with a
watering pot or sprinkle with whisk
broom and pail of water, as the cab
bages must be wet so the sulphur will
adhere to them. 1t destroys the eggs,
also the worms. We never failed to
