KILLING ouAck GRASS.

Quack grass and bad habits are much
akin in that 1t Is good deal easier
10 let them get Il foothold than II is to
weed them out after they get estab-
llshed. For this reason IL Is quite safe
TO he somewhat wary of any easy"
plan which may be suggested for
stamping out this worst OF weed pests
The difficulty lies IN the fact that in
stead of being an animal having a
life period covering year only, quack
grass lives from year TO year. due TO
the fact that 1t multiplies by root stalk
as well as by seed. This fact makes
ordinary cultivation which Is death to
weeds OF the type OF pigeon grass
crab grass, plgweed and the Ike worse
than useless. for 1t results In breaking
the roots into pieces and spreading
them. having the same effect In multi
plying the pest as would u deliberate
scattering OF the seed. In view Of
this fact, other methods have 10 be re-
sorted to. The consensus of opinion
on the part OF those who have had ex-
perience with quack grass seems to
be that the only effective method is
that which results In smothering the
plant-that is. not allowing II to de
velop leaf system during one whole
season This means such weakening
of vitality of the plant system that II
dies for lack of breath and sustenance
This result may be brought about 10y "a
thorough preparation OF the soil In
May and sowing Of u dense and rapid
ly growing crop like millet or buck
wheat. which should be plowed under
TO good depth when in full blossom
and reseeded to the same crop and
plowed under again when in full bloom
The land should be given cultivated
crop the next year Even with the most
careful methods some roots Of the grass
are likely TO live through the winter,
IN which case they should be taken out
by hand root and branch. This process
OF determination or any other that Is
effective involves a considerable ex-
pendlture OF both time and money and
means not only the loss Of one seasons
crop. but the work devoted to Kidding
the field OF the pest. The best advice
that can be given Is to stamp the grass
out at the start before It gets foot
hold. and this IS effectively done by
carefully covering saall patches of It
with tar paper and keeping the grass
from getting light and air for period
OF two months. II is more than likely
that good many farms get inoculated
with quack grass before the owners
fully realize what 1t is II Is well TO
study 1t on neighbors farm rather
than ON ones own.
