extremely important. the weeds now
in the fields should be given even
more attention. The exact procedure
advisable depends largely on the cir
cumstances. When the habits of the
particular weeds present are under
stood, methods usually suggest them
selves.
Cultivation a Remedy.
THE important thing is to carry out
good methods carefully and persistent
ly. Since the annual and biennial
weeds reproduce only from seeds, any
method most convenient to prevent
seed formation is practicable; such as
repeated cutting. or better still very
thorough cultivation in hoed crops or,
in some cases, hand pulling or digging.
Smother crops are are also helpful,
these to be followed by clean cultiva-
ton in hoed crops. The cultivation
and cutting should continue late in the
season to prevent the late seeding of
weeds, which is SO common in corn
wheat stubble after harvest All early
cultivation should be requentl and
thorough, and the hoe used literally
where needed in the hoed crops. Catch
the weeds while they are small and
keep them down. Many perennials are
controlled by the same methods as
are the ANIMALS and the biennials, but
those like Canada thistle. quack-grass
etc, with running root stocks require
more persistent attention and some.
times special treatments, which can
not be taken up at this. time.
The perennials as well as the an
nuals and biennials, should, of course
in every case be prevented from seed
ing. as far as possible. The old trite
saying. which is all too true. should
never be forgotten, that: "Oone years
seeding is nine years wedding
The killing of weeds by the use OF
chemical sprays offers possibilities in
being tried out on certain Indiana
weeds by the experiment station.
May Require Years of Work.
ITO fight weeds successfully, then
requires a broad general plan taking
in all the factors concerned and such a
plan carefully and peristently carried
out for a series of years; all sources
of weed seed introduction should be
avoided as far as possible, and the
weeds and perennial roots in the sol
killed by painstaking attention. Be
sides this the sol! must be brought t.
a high state of fertility and proper con
dition generally so as to favor the bes
growth of the desired crops, if the
weed problem is to be met to the bes
advantage.
The botanical department of the
Purdue experimental station is anxious
to assist in every way possible in 6
better understanding of farm weeds il
the state. Inquiries should be accom-
