PROFITS in
BASKET WILLOW
American Soil Well Adapted to
Tree and Wide Opportunities
for Articles Made from 1t
BY w. T. Hubbard.

Willow growing gives an uncom-
monty high margin of profit. A large
demand for willow is now supplied by
import, and as American-grown rods
are of good quality when proper care
is taken in their culture there is no
reason why the further development
of the industry should not be possible
If more American farmers can be con-
vinced of its practiGability.
OF late years willow furniture has
sprung into fashion and to-day no
minor industry is more prosperous
than that devoted to its supply The
wages are good and the manufacturers
demand a steady supply Of superior
willow.
This is now almost entirely received
from France at price which will give
the entire trade to the American II he
can equal the quality.
Great care should be taken in the
selection of the willow beds. Rich, per-
manently moist sandy loan gives best
returns, though ordinary moist sandy
land often yields profitable crops Of
willows.
Poor soils produce paying crops
where there is market for short
rods. Avoid land on which water is
stagnant during the summer. II by
drainage the water level on such land
can be lowered at least six feet be-
low the surface the situation may be
considered appropriate.
Do not plant willows In localities
where early frosts occur. The tender
shoots are easily injured by the
cold.
Plow tens or twelve inches deep in
the fall, prior to planting the follow
ing spring. This turns the top layer
of the soil so deep that weed seeds
cannot spring up
If rain is insufficient. irrigate the will
low bed if possible, but thorough
drainage must be provided, as water
must not stand on the surface. 1t is
best also to keep the land well
drained during the winter
Returns depend very largely upon
the method of culture, but more upon
the variety of the willow planted, be-
cause the shoots of even the best va
rieties and in the most suitable soil
grow brittle after the stools become
old.
The American green and Welsh viii
lows are most generally planted. The
rods of the former peel readily, split

and heavy. y

METHOD TO COMPLETELY
ERADICATE THE BINDWEED
This Injurious Plant May Differentiated In Any Field
Orchard Proper Effort Made


The only successful methods for the
eradication of bindweed must be based
on the suppression of all top growth,
in order to starve out the underground
parts. a great many farmers are look
ing for some easy method of killing
the bindweed, and in the meantime are
letting it cover the fields and festoon
the trees of the orchard. They arc
looking for some magic remedy" that
will completely eradicate the weed
with a small amount of exertion on
their part. 1t must be understood that
such formidable enemy as this weed
requires heroic treament Other farm
ers have gone at the problem less
heedlessly, as in the case of a man
who followed the root of plant to the
depth of four feet and then applied
a large quantity of salt in the hole.
Various methods have been tried
to keep down the top growth, and
