The weed problem is not nearly so
difficult as many people believe. The
remedy for weeds Is good farming.
and when good farming becomes the
rule weeds will largely disappear. In
a way weeds are more of benefit
than an injury. If 1t were not for
them we would often be tempted IL
let the corraeld go few days longer
before cultivating and thus fail to get
as large crop as we might otherwise
have done. II is the cultivation that
the presence of the weeds forces upon
us that makes plant food available
and prevents the escape of capillary
moisture and SO enables the plants TO
pur their best efforts into producing a
maximum yield.

combat is their great seed producing
capacity. 1t is not difficult to kill one
formal plant, but no sooner Is that
done than another springs up to take
its place.
Early fall plowing gets rid of many
OF these weeds by turning them un-
der before the seed is ripe. Some of
the seed which is ripe will grow up,
and the plants will be killed by the
first freezes of winter. If the field is
narrowed early in the spring many of
the remaining seed can be induced to
start. The more weeds that come up
ut this time the better, since they will
be Killed IN the subsequent prepara-
tion of the land for planting.
There is no better implement for
killing weeds before corn comes up
than the harrow. Narrowing is a
cheap operation, since so many acres
can be gone over In day. The more
times corntield can be gone over
with the harrow before the corn comes
up the better. In narrowing to kill
weeds care should be taken not to do
the work when the weather Is cloudy
or the ground too wet, or the weeds
VIII be transplanted rather than killed.
In regard to the value Of narrowing
growing corn opinions differ greatly.
1t Is almost impossible, however, to
harrow corn without destroying some
or IT, 1t Is q waste Of time to test
the seed and planter with the idea Of
getting good stand and then harrow
part OF 1t out. Unless the weeds are
very bad the harrow had better be
put away In the machine shed as soon
as the corn begins TO appear above
the surface of the ground.
Thorough cultivation from the time
the corn is two or three inches high
until 1t is ready to LAY by" will do
much to keep the weeds In check. The
deep early CIVILIZATIONS viii bring up
the seeds that have been lying dor
mant at the bottom Of the furrow
slice. These will germinate and be
killed by the later civilizations. Fox
tail may grow up and go to seed after
the crop gets too large to cultivate.
II Is often good plan to sow rape In
corn at the last cultivation. This will
come up quickly and shade the ground
so completely that 1t will prevent the
growth of annual weeds almost en-
tirely.
Annual weeds seldom do much dam
age In small grain. If the grain is
drilled I'm on Droperly nrenored caad

of the weeds will be smothered out

troublesome In grainfields is mustard.
Since this weed is easily killed by

small grain follows corn there Is little
mustard seed in the soil except that
which Is sown with the oats.
There is another annual. or rather
winter annual, that Is much harder to
eradicate than those mentioned so far.
This Is squirreltaii grass, so called be-
cause OF Its fuzzy heads. The seeds
are very light and are attached to
long boards, which cause them to be
carried for considerable distances by
the wind.
Squirreltail grass is not troublesome
in cultivated fields, but often in

an extent as to make them almost

People who complain of high land

to a great extent by remembering
how cheap they could have bought
even the choicest farms few years
ago. A man who came into the val

thought he was dreaming. Yet that
land is cheap today at twice $50, and
is going higher.
And why shoIll it not go higher.
Farmers in the vicinity of Enterprise
are reluctant to lease their land TO
the sugar factory people at $40 an
acre cash rent, saying they make
more than that off it. This in spite

gar company would turn back the
land thoroughly cleaned and in bet

a few public-spilited citizens turned
over some choice acres just to en-
