underground stems as we'll as seeds.
and these stems are often scattered
on the hoofs of horses or by ma
chinery used in cultivation. The weed
grows in many kinds of soil, but
thrives best in rich soil. Its seeds
occur in wheat, rye, barley. clover,
and timothy and bronze grass.
Smothering by blowing and thor
ough bare culture is the best means
OF eradicating quack grass. The best
results will follow when the treatment
is given in hot, dry weather after the
root systems have been somewhat ex-
haused by the growth of plants. The
seed should not be allowed to mature,
however. or II mature, the grass
should be cut and burned.
Where a field is badly infested, it
should be plowed deeply from five
to eight or more inches, as soon as the
hay or grain crop is removed. The
blowing must be we'll done and all
portions of the plants turned under
completely. A %jointer on the pillow
will aid in turning the grass under
perfectly. The plow should be fol-
lowed within a very few days by a
disc harrow. with discs set nearly
straight to aroid inverting the sod.
The purpose is to fill the spaces be-
tween the furrow slices, thus stopping
the free circulation of air. Following
the first discing the Rand should be
double disced frequently enough to
prevent the appearance above the
surface Of any quack grass leaves.
This will be twice a week in warm,
moist seasons and once a week when
the weather is dryer. The discing
should be continued until growth
ceases, usually from six TO eight
weeks. The following spring cultiva-
ton should begin very early.
Short crop rotations are useful in
keeping quack grass under control,
and, when arranged so as to provide
an opportunity to attack the quack
grass at seasonable times, they will
permit eradication of the weed with
out losing the use of the land.

ONE OF WORST WEEDS
Quack Grass Is Propagated by
Stems and Seeds.
s%mothering BY Flowing and Thour-
oueh. Bare Cultivation Is Best
Means Of Graduating Pest
Thrives In Rich Soil.

Farmers should study weeds. learn
how they should grow. when they ma
ture seed. whether they come from
the seeds or from roots each year. In
what soil they thrive best, and many
similar feature Of weeds. Then the
question of eradication would be
easily solved. A weed Is most com
monty known when it il in flower or
in fruit. Very few persons know
weeds when they first come up. Know
the weeds at every stage and condt
ton. Start with a few of the worst
kind and gradually extend your &C.
quaintance. When you know the
weeds, learn the methods of eradica-
ton.
Quack grass, which Is one of the
worst seed pests. flowers during the
latter part of June and ripens its
seeds In July. 1t is propagated by
