Destroxinr weeds

In destroying annual weeds one
method is to disk the stubble fields
causing the weed seed to germinate
after which they can be killed by sub.
sequent cultivation or by frost Anoth-
er method is to turn live stock, espe
clally sheep into these stubble fields tc
eat up the weeds and weed seeds. The
value of cultivated crops, rotations and
summer fallows is also discussed.
The eradication of perennials is more
difficult than in the case of ANNALS
For these they tried smother crops
bare fallow, chemicals and tar paper
For small areas Of quack grass, cover
ing with tar paper was found effective
but was too costly for field applica-
ton. As quack grass is similar to Der.
muda grass in its habit of spreading.
and It equally persistent this method
may be of interest to those who wish
to kill small areas of Bermuda.
