1t is possible that in twenty-five or

THE MUSTARD PEST.
How Farmers Get Rid of Plague
That Has Cost Millions.
From Outing.


Do results justify the tremendous ex-
penditure Of money and effort for adapt
ing science to the ends of agriculture?
Wild mustard has been and is yet the
curse of the farmers field. The old
method of dealing with the pest was
two fold, to summer fallow, plough
and harrow the infested field for a sea-
son. then when the crop was planted
the next year. If the mustard still grew,
to have the children wander through the
field plucking out the weed by the roots.
This was a waste of time and grain
for little plantlets of oats or barley
were tranpled down or derooted Tor
every mustard plant pulled up. The new
scientific method is to use no seed that
is not guaranteed. if necessary certif-
Gated and inspected. But what of the
field already infected? And what of
fields infected by other weeds quite as
noxious az mustard?
1t was in the spring of 1905 that the
American Steel and Wire Company
called attention of the agricultural ex.
perts to a by-product of their iron ana
steel mandatory. an iron sulphate So
luton. which seemed tn destroy weeds
without injuring grain. The chemists
of the company conferred with the
agronomy experts The iror sulphate
was diluted in water.
same 1t was found that it would not
work early in the morning during the
dew or after rain. for the simple rea-
son that moisture diluted it too much
Finally "A suitable spraying machine was
obtained from Germany and the IRON
sulphate was applied about the third
week in June. when mustard was In the
third leaf and previous to bloom. ana the
grain plantlets not yet high in the blade
What was the result" The weed WAS
wilted up and burnt as if by fire. The
grain blade remained a little blackened
but unhurt for new shoots came on In
fresh growth.
Now in many western states the oat
cron ranresents a yearly yield to the
farmer of from twenty to thirty million
dollars Half that destroyed by mus
tard represented loss of ten to fifteen
millions. ,
That amount is practically saved to
the farmers pocket by the discovery or
tho iron sulphate solution. Multiply
that amount by the dozen or more states
that are great Oat growers ana me
imnorrance of the discovery can be
realized
