their entire lives. 1t is a notable fact
that very few really know the differ
ent kinds which are most abundant
upon their farms. Sometimes the
weed is known by the right name and
the seed is not known at all. Some
times the seed is well recognized be-
cause perhaps, millers and elevator
men have refused to buy grain con.
tanning 1t at the normal price, while
the weed which produces the seed is
not recognized. It is not at all un-
common to find persons who have
been damaged for years by the growth
Of destructive weed pests, wholly un-
certain as to the possible methods the
weed may have Of reproducing itself.
One of the commonest questions that
this department has to answer is:
Does this weed grow from the root
year after year or does it grow simply
from the seed?" This is such a very
simple question that one could sus-

for an observing person to decide the
proper steps to take in cropping and
