KILL WEED SEEDS
BY USING A SIL0
Do Not Retain Sufficient Vitality
to terminate in Spring, Says
Missouri Expert.

That the seeCs of the common field
weeds when ensiloed with corn. peas
or any forage used as silage will not
retain sufficient vitality to terminate
in the spring when returned to the
land mixed with manure, is the be-
lief of Z. b. Hart. chief agricultural
chemist of the College of Agriculture
of the University of Wisconsin, and
A. L. Stone. state seed inspector.
While there are no experiments on
record with regard to the combined
chemical action of silage and manure
on the termination of seeds, it is
quite likely hat there is little danger
of seeding valuable fields with nox-
ious weeds in this manner AS an
added %precaution the storing Of ma
nure under a shed is. because of the
fermentation taking place in the COM
post heap. to be advocated as a sure
means of destroying any weed seeds
contained therein.

served for later feeding.

treat, and is a beneficial form of feed
Ing which should be offered occa-
sionally. Be sure that the bran or
meal offered to the COW is sweet and
good, or trouble may result.
The cornstalks may be fed once a
