Weeds Abundant

L. A. Norland, of the La lara State
Bank, In q letter 70 the agricultural
department of the Colorado State
Bankers association, writes an inter
esting letter to the secretary in
which he refers TO weeds. Just think
of weeds being a subject for bankers
TO talk about. hut nevertheless 1t Ia
vital subject In some sections OF the
country, and IL one that commands
some attention 10 this county. First
lie speaks Of stlus, and u portion Of
his letter follows:
Silos have been built and are being
filled with our great crop OF pea vine
fodder, vines and peas alike free from
mildew and which we believe fur
nishes the sweetest and most nutri-
tious silage 10 the world.
Cattle and sheep were never in bet
ter condition for market or the feed
lots than they will be this fall, for
our .rich mountain summer ranges
have produced abundantly the great.
est pasturaxe ever known.
Is there no discordant note then
in Its symphony OF rejoicing? Yes.
We may w we'll mention it--one small
word tells the story-WEEDS
{ Twenty-Five per cent of our farm
areas produce u large thrifty crop Of
weeds year by year. Weeds can by
proper tillsge be subdued and even
eradicated. The extensive rainfall
Of the past spring and summer pro-
duced rank growth Of weeds and
moreover terminated all dormant
seeds. which our best farmers have
plowed on their fallOw ground tefOre
this years seed ripened, thus supply
ing next years crop with much need
ed humps Under such tillage weeds
are Indeed an asset.
