UNLIKE THE WARS OF OLD.
Modern BattIefields Present No Pic
lures at All Comparable to Those
of the Past.

Every now and then one hears from
a man fresh from the front some little
incident that makes one realize the
horrors of this war more wildly than
does a long article written expressly
for that purpose, says the London
mail.
A young clerk in the employ Of a.
well-known London business man who
enlisted six or seven months ago got
to the front recently. Within three
weeks he was back in London, badly
wounded in the leg. He was able to-
leave the hospital couple of days
ago and called to see his employer,
who naturally asked him to tell him
what he thought of the war.
"Well, sir" said the young fellow,
II only saw about forty yards of It.
and that. only for part of day. The
first and only job had was to go to
trench with a party Of men. We
took with us a hand donkey engine
and ropes. When we got to the
trench I saw what the donkey en-
CINE was for. The soldiers In that
trench were In thick, gluey mud that
reached up to their ribs. They were
crying like children and asked US to
shoot them.

them was quite smooth owing to their

weed and foxtail, start to mature
seeds soon after harvest, so that care
must be taken to turn the plants I'M
der before the seeds approach matur-
ity. Flowing without the preliminary
disking would turn under millions OF
weed seeds to make trouble in future
years.
Moving to Prevent Seed Scattering.
Moving Is another way of prevent
ing weeds from going to seed. AS a
rule, it Is best to NOW when weeds
have reached the full-bloom stage.
When there are patches In grain fields
thick with weeds, it will pay to cut
them, grain and all, before the weeds
start to go to seed.
1t pays to cut a hay crop early, in
order to prevent weeds from going
to seed as well as to secure better
quality of hay After a grain crop is
removed, a crop of weeds, such as
ragweed or foxtail, usually follows,
which, if not disturbed, not only re-
seeds the land for further crops of
weeds, but may do much damage to
a young seeding of clover or grass.
Moving these weeds will prevent
most of them from going to seed, and.
further, the clippings will be Of value
as mulch for the young grass.
More or less hand work is neces-
sary in preventing the growth and
spread of weeds on the farm. They
often occur in scattered places about
the fields and can be removed by hand
with a little work, whereas if they are
allowed to mature they will thorough
ly seed the land and make trouble for
the future. Such weeds may be pre-
vented from seeding, either by hand
pulling or digging them out with a
mattock, hoe or spud so far below
the surface that new top growth will
not spring up and mature seeds. The
annual and biennial weeds will make
no further appearance If pulled or
cut off when they are In full blossom
One OF the best tools for disposing
of weeds with thick roots is the spud,
a tool with long handle and chisel-
like blade at one end. These are
particularly effective with bull thistle,
MULLEN, and chicory. By digging the
weeds when they are in full blossom
it is sometimes not difficult to clear

ment Of Agriculture.)
while tillage in its relation to
weeds usually is practiced for the
benefit of the immediate crop 1t also
may serve the purpose of preventing
hosts of weeds from maturing seed"
opens the discussion in Farmers Bull
letin No. $50, Weeds: How to Control
Them" This bulletin gives a discus
sion of the weed problem on the farm,
dealing with prevention and eradica-
ton.
1t is possible for a farmer, espe-
cially if he follows a good rotation
system, to make his farm almost
weed-free by observing three main
principles Of weed control: % pre-
venting the weeds from going to seed
on the farm; (2) preventing the intro
duction of weed seeds on the farm;
and CD preventing perennial weeds
from making top growth. These
three principles are of far greater i'm
portance than the particular methods
used to carry them out. Often the
campaign against weeds is stopped
when success is in sight and the weeds
soon recover. Clearing the farm Of
perennial weeds is no easy task, re-
quiring intelligence and persever-
ance
The thorough preparation of the
seed bed for every crop is an impor-
tant part in the control of weeds.
After blowing the disk, spring-toothed
or spike-toothed harrow to reduce the
soil to good seed bed condition is
used. Each of these borrowings de-
stroys hosts of young weed seed
lings. Thorough narrowing at this
period may be depended upon to kill
a large proportion of the weeds that
appear at this season.
Kill the Weeds Early.
After planting the cultivated crop
the same object, that of attacking the
weeds when young, should be kept
In mind. To this end drag harrow
or a spike-toothed harrow is frequent
Iy used, both before and after the
crop comes up. More weeds will be
killed by one dragging at this time
than by several civilizations when the
plants have become larger. The weed
er is also a valuable implement Tor

use at this stage. BY removing some
of the teeth of this tool 1t can be
used In corn until the crop is nearly
waist high. Indeed, some excellent
crops of corn have been grown by the
use of the weeder only.
The drag harrow and weeder may
also be used to advantage with pota-
toes. cotton and other cultivated
crops. After the crops have become
SO large that these implements can
no longer be used, the tillage is per
formed with cultivators. Intercultural
tillage is especially effective in con-
trolling weeds If the crop has been
planted in checkrows SO as to permit
the implement to work in two direc-
lions. Cultivated crops, therefore, Of

they are rightly termed cleaning
CROPS" Besides the usual cultivated
crops. small-grain crops can also some
times be cultivated to advantage in
the spring with spike-tooth harrow
or weeder.
After the small-grain crop is har-
vested it is often good practice IN the
northern states to harrow or disk the
!stubble to encourage the termination
.of the weed seeds that are at or near
the soil surface. The seedlings are
killed by the fall blowing or by cold
weather. Some weeds. such as rag
