ELIMINATION OF WEEDS.

AT this season of the year attention
should be given to the eradication of
weeds. In many sections of the coun-
ty weeds are doing great injury to
the farmers. In the north half many
grain fields are so foul with mustard
it is almost impossible to harvest the
crops.
Commissioner Green says that on the
average farm CT Okanogan county the
damage done annually by weeds eX-
ceeds the amount paid out in county
and state taxes.
Perhaps the most obnoxious weed
in this section of the state is Cisym
brium Altissimum commonly known
at the tumbling mustard, or the Jim
Hill mustard.
When mature, this round, brushy
plant is very light; breaking off ut
the stem it is blown about by the wind
and scatters it's tiny seeds rs it goes
! They are also dissimated by the use
of improperly cleaned and foul grain
seed, by the manure Of animals which
have eaten them in hay or pasture,
and very frequently they are scattered
by the use of an unclean separator, or
the use of second hand grain sacks
When covered lightly these tiny seed
Immediately begin to grow, but II
II lowed under deeDiv they lie dormant
u1til brought near the surface They
retain their vitality for a number 81
yta"a Tumbling mustard can be ron
trC ''ed by disking lightly Immediately
AFTER harvesting the grain. tho fell
rains will bring the young plants =
all they can be easily destroyed by 4.
! second cultivation.
| If spring grain is to be grown thi
land should be disked as early in the
spring as possible. In two or three
weeks the young plants will have ap
peared and can be destroyed by beins
ployed under just before seeding tn,
grain
II In an infested section, if thes,
methods are followed, and by follow
ing winter grain with spring grain
the mustard can be eradicated
III A common and erroneous method 0
many farmers is to pull up the weeds
and throw them aside, thinking tn,
sun Will kill them. In many instances
. this happens, but to often there ar,
pods of immature seed which ripeI
by using the food that is already stor
ed in the plant. Such piles of weeds
should be burned as soon as they be
come dry.
In order to keep the fields free from
/: mustard the lands and corners mus
be kept clean. This can be done b!
burning all dead weeds, and by fire
quently using the mower.
One thing which makes it hard t
combat the tumbling mustard is thu
! fact that it can grow with astoundins
rapidity on places almost devoid o
soil or moisture as we'll as in the fer
tile fields. And enc wee, blowing
across field will scatter thousands o
,ccd over vast area.
If the farmers would regard thi
pest as they would a cholera-infestet
. hog, many sections would soon b,
free from them.
