The Elbert County tribune., 1913-08-08

Our experience with bind-weeds is
that spring plowt1g and persistent use
of the cultivator only serve to spread
the roots over greater areas.
The lowlands where the bind-wed
fourishes are also suitable for alfalfa.
We find that between the cuttings of
alfalfa the bind-weed has no opportu-
nifty to seed, and in a few years a
plant can hardly be found in an alfalfa
field.
The bind-weed, when once establish
ed in field. is there to stay or put
up a strenuous fight. and no halfway
methods will accomplish anything in
the way of getting rid of this pest.
When plowing or cultivating through
small spots of morning glory, it pays
to clean the plow or cultivator of all
roots to prevent the spreading of the
growth of new plants.
The use of the disk harrows and
disk cultivators will help to prevent
the spread of this pest

ERADICATION OF
MORNING GLORIES
Cutting Tops Does Little Good
and PIoW Serves to Spread
the Roots.

On our lowland farms we find four
varieties OF morning glories. The
field morning glory resembles the cult
tivated kind, and unlike the bind-weed,
g-ows only from the seed, SO the only
remedy is to prevent the seeding.
The field bind-weed is morning
glory with small flowers and vine-like
stems that ertwine closely about any
thing they reach.
The numerous roots send out plants
from every eye. These roots being
spread by the pillow or cultivator. form
new plants. until In short time the
corn field is completely covered.
They start SO early in the spring
that before the corn is large enough
to cultivate the rows are SO hidden
that they must be cleaned out with a
hoe before cultivation is begun.
Another variety called hedge bind
weed. pea vine, morning glory has
large funnel-shaped flowers and a
more slender vine than the other va
rieties.
In the central states we find still
another Of the prolific pests. This is
the wild sweet-potato or man-of-the-
earth vine. Its roots resemble in shape
the cultivated sweet potato, but are
much longer and penetrate far below
tho plowing depths.
Cutting the tops does little good. and
cutting the roots only multiplies the
number of vines. as all pieces of roots
grow the same as the edible sweet po-
tato.
The plow only serves as a means OF
spreading and transplanting the pieces
of roots which grow new plants. Gov
ering with salt or injecting sulphuric
acid into the roots are as effective as
any remedy for the weed, which. for.
tunately, is not SO common as the 9TH
er varieties of the morning glory.
Hogs are very fond of the roots,
and are great help in clearing up
badly infested ground. Flowing dur.
ing July and August prevents the
plants from growing again in the same
season. and will make them much less
plentiful next year.
Lambs also like the vines wonder
fully we'll, and few will be left in the
fall II they are turned on before the
bind-weeds 90 to seed.

Try to be patient with your colt, Mr..
Farmer. Remember that he is green
yes, as green as the grass he eats
so peacefully when you turn him out
to Craze, and the harness no longer
chafes his soft young body.
All farmers know that a four-year
colt will stand more than three-year
old. Bone and muscle are better ma
tured and generally of better size;
therefore. he is better able to stand a
days work. But when 1t comes to
that no green, unbroken colt should be
expected to do full days work in the
team of well seasoned farm or road
horses.
So many good colts have been aged
and made dull by this foolish habit
of letting them run absolutely unbrok-

or four years old, and then catching
them and putting them at hard, steady

CHECK ROW CORN
PLANTER ESSENTIAL
If Seed Is Substantially Sars
Size Machine Will Drop Same
Number of Kernels.
cBy WALTER B. LEurz)

On all farms where the fields are OF
sufficient size the check row corn ,
planter is almost a necessity. II the
seed is substantially of the same size
and shape the machine will drop pre-
cisely the same number OF kernels to
the hill. If on the other hand, the
grain from the tips and butts of the
ears is included the number of kernels
in the hill will vary considerable.
The distance between the hills and
the number of plants to the hill will
vary more or less according to the va
riety that is planted and the climate
of the locality in which the field is
being planted.
Under ordinary conditions | believe
in planting four kernels to the hill
and planting the hills about three
feet six inches apart both ways. AS
{. general rule nothing is gained by
Planting the field until the cold spring
rains are over. None but good seed
