are annualS, WHICH pIOuuSe oeeu
the same year in which they ger
inmate. Biennials, for instance
burdocks and some kinds Of
thistles, produce seed the second
year. Perennials, such as morn
ing glory, bind weed, Canada
thistles and quack grass, grow
mainly from the root and some
of them altogether, producing
seed sparingly or not at all. An
nuals are bountiful seed pro-
ducers, this being the only way
they can perpetuate their kind.
Cockleburs will make their APP
pearance in the corn fields after
the corn is laid by, and the only
way to handle them is to pull
them out or hoe them out by
hand. They will make their APP
pearance in the subtle fields and
in new sown clover, and the only
thing to do with them is to NOW
them off when in full bloom and
before seed has had time to ma
ture. The boy with a mower
can do more damage to the cock
leburs in infested fields in one
day than he can do with the
corn plow in a week.
Then again, our fields are
likely to be overspread with rag
weed, even the blue grass pas
lures; and the only thing to do is
to take mower and NOW these
fields before the seed is ripe.
We are quite we'll aware that
the farmer has a good deal to do
at that time besides moving the
ragweed in his blue grass pas
lures or in the stubble fields. He
has something to do which will
be of more immediate benefit
than riding a mower. None the
less, he cannot afford to have
his land seeded with ragweed al
this time of the year.
By moving the ragweed he
takes the shade away from his
blue grass and gets a more Wig
orous growth. Then if he will
take his disk drill next spring,
when the frost is going out, and
reseed his blue grass land to clo'
yer, he will not be much troubled
with ragweed in time to come.
There are weed seeds enough
lin our soils, and sometimes farm
|ers get discouraged and feel as
though the weed is to stay with
them forever. 1t will stay with
them a long time, but there is nc
use in allowing weeds to &c
ahead and perpetuate themselves,
to give trouble in the future.
By persistent warfare against
these ANNALS we can have in
time a reasonably clean farm.
By neglect we can have the farm
so we'll stocked with weeds that
we will have trouble for years tc
come. Therefore, it is we'll tc
take advantage of the weakness:
of the plant that is putting forth
its best energies to produce seed
and prevent it.
We have no patience with the
farmer who allows his stubbls
fields to grow up with cookie
burs and other annual weeds
We are talking now of the farm
er who owns his own land and
the tenant who expects to re-
main on the farm where he il
for a number of years. For this
growth of weeds in the stubblt
proclaims him to all passersby
as a poor farmer. Better ne

yourself against an oversupplJ
