How About the Weeds

On numerous farms weeds of all
descriptions are permitted to grow.
This is disgraceful sight and not
only that it is an imposition on the
man who takes a pride in his farm
and tries to keep it free from weeds.
Farmers tell us that it is mostly
on the vacant farms that the noxious
weeds are permitted to go to seed and
be scattered broad cast by the fall
winds.
AS matter of fact the man hold
ing vacant property many times
hording it merely for speculation
is not entitled to any exemption of
being permitted to allow the same to
become a menace to a community and
his neighbors need not hesitate to
take steps to force noxious weeds
destroyed even tho they grow on
"A friends farm" Now is the time
and a wholesale slaughter of weeds
before the seeds mature will mean
much to the farmers.

Some Good Advice

Hang on to your North Dakota
soil, says a state exchange. There is
no better soil in the world, all things
considered, and North Dakota is one
of the best states in the union. 1t
gets pretty cold here sometimes in
the winter, but our people have mon
ey with which to buy fuel, and they
need not be scant in its use 1t may
be too hot for comfort sometimes in
the summer, but our ice crop never
fails, and the nights are always cool.
Our soil produces the stuff that
brings the money and keep the stom-
ach supplied with food. Hang on to
your North Dakota land. If you think
that you must leave the state, you had
better keep enough or it's soil to in
sure you against want. The chances
are that you will come back.

A. G.. Short Talks No. 20

Late seeded fax Is gamble, and
should be INDUCED in only when you
pcan afford to lose the seed, the labor,
and the crop.
In order to do the most good sum-
.mer fallow must be finished before
the weed seeds mature.
The best and most profitable sum-
:aer fallow is that which produces a
crop at the same time that 1t de-
-stroys the weeds and cultivates the
soil.
A bare summer fa1low should be
narrowed to start the weeds and later
on disced in order to prevent their
going to seed.
Machinery put in order now for the
seasons run will save time and ex-
ipense little later on.
The horses like grass pasture, but
do not depend too largely upon it.
Harvest time will call for the best
there is in your teams.
Keep the corn plows going as late
in the season as possible, and run
the sh. vels as Shall" as you can.
Deep cultivation cuts off a large per-
centage of the surface feeding roots
that will be needed during the later
part of the season if the crop is to be
brought to maturity.
The sow and little pigs should have
a cool shady place where they can
rest from the heat OF the sun.
Accustom the colt to staying IN the
barn or the paddock during the time
that the mare is working In the held.
There is no time so good as that
from the present until harvest to
make note of the places in the field
that need drainage, fertilizer, or diff
ferent crop rotation. Note down the
color and condition of the crop, and
later on in the season plan out a crop
rotation for the farm that shall give
to each field in turn clover crop,
cultivated crop, and manure. These,
worked into grain rotation, Will
build up the land and increase the
yields.

the farmers who put the extra time

crops expert of the A. C. went around

the trip were the excellent showing
made by our variety test corn which
is now larger than that at the Min
nesota station, and the relative val
use of the clover ,alsike, and mammoth
clover grown side Nv side. The red
clover, sown last year Is making a
splendid showing. It was seeded as
nearly as possible at the rate of IL
of seed to the acre, and will soon cut
a magnificent crop. The alsike clover
was seeded at the rete of 6 IL per
acre, which, on account of the smaller
seed, is really thicker sowing than
the red clover. 1t will probably be
the middle of July before it is ready
for cutting, and the mammoth clover,
seeded at the same rate as the red
will be ready for the mower about
the first. of August. The mammoth
clover will probably lodge before it is
ready to cut. The red is like the
corn, ahead of the Minnesota station
clover.
A little alfalfa has already been cut
and the rest is in excellent condition.
1t stands on a we'll drained part of
the farm, and under good drainage
conditions is making an excellent
showing. A patch of bromo that has
been in seed since 1902 was split into
two parts in 1908, and since that year
one part has received a top dressing
of manure, applied just after cutting,
at the rate of about twenty loads per
acre, each year. This part of the
field is exceedingly rank, most of it
being lodged at the present time, and
the seed is free from all appearances
Of being bound On the contrary,
that part which was left without man
ure during the past years is badly
sod bound, and Is making a very
Door showing as hay crop. The
fields last year on the two plots were,
for the MANFRED plo, 2.99 tons, and
for the unmanured 1.24 tons. This
year the difference will be more
marked.
