Destroying johnson Grass

d. NJ. p, Blacksburg, Va, writes
Please advise me IL there is any practical
method for the eradication of Johnson
grass. Ny land is situated in the lowe
grounds of the James river and very fer
tile, subject to overflow about once
every 1--WE years. Would it be advisable
to give it the necessary treatment and
sow it down heavy with alfalfa?
Johnson grass is an exceedingly difficult
plant to eradicate when once it has be-
come well established, and particularly is
this true on rich alluvial lands. The best
method Of procedure is about as follows:
Craze the land as closely as possible with
cattle and hogs. Where Johnson grass
occurs in scattered spots throughout the
field and hogs can be penned on the land
they will often clean it out. Exercise
great care to prevent the grass from
blossoming and to be sure that you have
prevented its seeding, you will find II nee
essary to cut 1t several times during the
year. Where the sod has remained undis-
turbed for a while, plow shallow, harrow
out the root stalks and burn. This had
best be done in the late summer or early
fall Hoes crops should then be plant
ed on the land and extra care and culti-
walton given Chemical methods of de-
stroying Johnson grass have proven i'm
practicable, and these suggestions are
about the best that can be offered under
the circumstances. The results attained
in controlling this pest will depend vey
lagely on he persistence, skill and effort
displayed in the work. We would not
think it a'isable to attempt to grow al
falfa on field partially infested with
johnson ass. We would certainly make
IN effort to eradicate II first, because in
Jur experience alfalfa has never succeed
ed in choking out Johnson grass, and we
think an attempt to seed 1t would only
result in an imperfect stand and dissat-
sfaction.

says. ITS the biggest thing the town
ever pulled for. This and the music fes-

~ for future generations to read.
such a good roads contest and auto-
mobile reliability run as The Atlanta

launched will affect us wonderfully right

Grafton of the almost incredible benefit IL
will bring to the intervening country be-
tween New York and Atlanta Tt win
bring many thousands of new people,
monied people, to our city. and win draw
the eyes of the whole nation to Atlanta.
Not alone that It will attract 10 US and
our city the attention OF the old country
as well, for we will stand at one end OF
such a highway as the world has never
known since the greatest glory OF the
Roman empire. The old Appian Way has
lived through ages of history and -
famous as one of the greatest enEfn-
eering feats scored by the old eTnperors.
But it was only $50 miles long, from
Brandusium to Rome. and was just 10
feet wide. Today, two thousand years
after it was begun, IT is still pointed cut
to tourists.
What, then, will be the New Tork-At-
lanta highway, over 1000 miles long and
a boulevard of generous width. It's
something magnificent in its conception.

automobilist, unhesitatingly declares
that the great New York-Atlanta auto
mobile reliability and bodybuilding con-
test, which, is being arranged by The At

is a movement which marks an era in the
development of the country.

will take hold of it with zeal and de-
Termination that will brook no failure"
said Colonel Peel Tuesday morning.
There is no doubt in my mind that
county and state officials along the route
will hasten to join hands in connecting
up the chain of public roads into a great
national highway Such a highway will
be a powerful incentive to good roao

is blazed there will be a constant stream

all the towns along the route will profit.
People of leisure and means will make
frequent excursions to southern territory
