and bronze grass (Bron


inernis). These grasses all have
stEe- common points CT similarity t.
cuack grass, but still are different IL
many respects. Figure shows tht
heads of each of the four grasses. I
can at once be seen that the head
bronze grass is in no way similar tt
that of quack grass. Slender whea
grass and blue joint grass heads are
somewhat similar, but still differences
exist One Of the most common dif
ferences in these three heads is II
the number Of seeds found in each
spikelet. Fig. 8 shows that the head
of slender wheat is the most narrow
and that blue joint is the widest. II
the heads of each are closely ex
anained it will be found that the spike
lets of slender wheat have from three
to five seeds when mature; those OF
Guack grass have from five to seven
while those of blue joint have from
seven to thirteen seeds. The head
of slender wheat is much longer than
quack, and the head of blue joint is
somewhat wider.
These four plants differ in other re-
spects. The following are some OF
the differences and similarities:
l. All are perennial grasses and
with the exception of slender wheat
have long underground stems or root
The Sauk Centre herald., 1912-06-20

stalks. The underground stems of
blue joint are not as extensive as
those of quack grass. Slender wheat
grass has a fibrous root system.
2. Bronze grass has a much wider
leaf than either of the other three
grasses and it is of a darker green
color.
8. Blue joint grass is very blue in
color and is easily detected when
growing with other grasses.
4. Slender wheat grass grows more
or less in punches and grows some
what taller than quack grass. (See
Fig. 2.)
auack and blue joint are very similar
In appearance The seeds of slender
wheat grass are easily shelled out,
while those Of quack grass and blue
Joint are hard to shell out.
6. Slender wheat and blue joint
ripen seeds sooner than quack grass.
Z. All of these grasses are good
forage grasses, though quack grass
can hardly be recommended for that
purpose. The seeds of bronze grass
and slender wheat grass (called West
ern rye grass) can be purchased at
most any seed house.
Quack grass should be recognized
by farmers, so that methods of eTadi-
cation can be started before the pest
gets too much of a hold on the land.
1t is hoped that this article will enable
some to know quack grass when they
see it growing in the field.
The division of botany and plant
pathology at the Minnesota Expert
ment Station will gladly make deter
limitations of all weeds sent in. If
you think you have quack grass on

These are very handy instruments for
spraying small trees and bushes, al
though little more awkward to carry
around. When purchasing a bucket
pump it is wise to get the double act

How to Know
Quack Grass.
BY w. L. OSWALD, Assistant

!. !. :. !. X :: = j. :. = = X + :. :. !


Many persons are familiar with the
fact that Quack grass is one OF TIE
worst weed pests farmer has TO con
tend with; and still many are unable
to tell the grass when they see it
growing.
Quack grass (Agropyron repens)
has many different common names il
different localities. Some Of the com.
mon names are couch grass, twitcb
grass, quitch grass, witch grass.
scutch grass and quake grass.
Quack grass is perennial plant,
living from year to year, dying to the
ground each winter, but coming up
the following spring. 1t has very
wide spreading underground stems OF
root stalks, commonly but improperly
called roots" These underground
stems very seldom appear more thar
six inches below the surface of the
earth; and sometimes in very rich
soil, they are only about three inches
beneath the surface. At short inter
walls on the underground stem, buds
appear which develop into new plants.
A small portion of this underground
stem is capable of producing new
plant. A cross section of the under.
ground stem of quack grass shows
that generally it is solid throughout.
The roots which come from the un.
derground stem are fine and fiDrous,
like those of other grasses. TIE

MEAT AS BAIT FOR FLY TRAPS
Found Very Successful in Early Part
of Summer.

Mr.. F D. Nichols, executive officer
Of land company in the famous Bit
ter Root valley, Montana, when talk
ing over conditions in the valley with
some friends in ST. Paul recently, re-
marked to one who had last year visit
ed his orchards: You remember we
had no flies" "Yes," was the answer.
"But you had lots of traps" Mr..
Nichols replied that this year they
would have several large traps only,
and these so placed as to be out of
view of the guests at his company's
clubhouse.
He then stated that the first flies of
the season do not care for molasseS
and sweets, but are simply looking for
a place to deposit their eggs; and that
one of the places most attractive to
them, for such deposits, is in fresh
meat Therefore, they baited the
traps with fresh meat, and not only
caught the fly, but the deposit of eggs
as well. He said second arrival of
flies comes from the timber, but traps
thus baited were successful in abso-
lutely eliminating the fly nuisance;
and he believed the matter could be
kept under control by the use of large
traps placed at the garbage recepta-
cles, in the kitchen, at the dumps,
etc.
If our Minnesota flies are of the
same species as those to which Mr.
Nichols refers there would appear 10
be no reason why the meat baited
trap should not be equally efficacious
