ENEMIES OF ALFALFA
Weeds Constitute Worst Factor
Plant Has to Contend With.
Especially True in Humid Sections
Where Bulk of Rainfall Comes
During Comparatively Mild
Minters-HoW to Eradicate.
(By j. M. WESTGATE.)

Over a considerable portion of the
country weeds constitute the worst
enemy of alfalfa. This is especially
true in the humid sections and in
those parts of the west and south
west where the bulk of the rainfall
comes during the comparatively mild
winters. Witch-grass or cOuch-grass
in New York and the New England
states, crab grass in the eastern
states south of New York blue
grass in the bluegrass sections. and
the ''foxtail'' or wild millets and crab
grass in the central states are the
worst enemies in the respective sec
tiOns from the standpoint of the al
falfa plant
In the irrigated sections of the west.
especially in those sections character
lied by rainfall during the compara-
lively mild winters. the growth of
the wild barleys is a decided draw
back to the successful production OF
alfalfa They mature shortly before
the first cutting of alfalfa, and the
boards of the grass heads sometimes
ruin the first crop of hay, which is
sometimes burned to destroy the
grass seed These wild barleys are
also known as foxtail grass, squirrel
tail grass, and wall barley.
Since alfalfa is not usually a clean
cultivated crop the problem of weed
destruction is a serious one. Disking
is usually the most effective remedy
for weeds, as the alfalfa is generally
benefited by the operation, while the

Care of Orchard.

In addition to growing and turning
under clover crops and feeding the
soil with mineral fertilizers, it is
profitable to dress the orchard soil
frequently with stable manure, the
best of general fertilizers If five
or ten acres of orchard are handled
in the manner of soil treatment, and
the trees cared for in a proper man
ner, and the fruit packed and shipped
in the highest approved manner more
clear profits will be realized than
from forty to eighty acres that is
simply planted and left to take care
of itself.

REPORT GANG
INCOMPETENT
Shade Tree Board Discharges
Workmen Complaints.

~Ineficiency of its employees has
caused the Shade Tree Board to
temporarily suspend operations. A
gang of men set to work cutting
down useless trees about a week ago
were found, according to the shade
tree commissioners. to be incompet-
ent and were discharged. This az
ton was taken after about half or
fifty useless trees had been cut
down.
One OF the commissioners says
the men first engaged for the job
failed 10 do the work properly, In
that they did not exercise sufficient
~preeaution which caused damage t
property and even endangered lives
of pedestrians.
Other men will be engaged next
week and the work resumed, accord
ing to the board. There are about
fifty trees condemned that will have
to be cut down. A number of these
are. along Buckingham avenue,
where the board found shade trees
in very bad condition. Some OF the
property owners declare this is duo
to chemical action resulting from
the plant of the Perth Amboy Chem
ical Works.
