One Of the serious drawbacks to the

kinds. There are both winter as well

growing Of this very valuable hay

and other common weeds must be

caution has Deen taken. And it is only
by persistent effort that all the fields
are not overcome by them.
1t is now being generally recognized
that the best way to keep weeds under
control is by narrowing or cultivating
