OATS
A BIC TAX

Wild oats N costing North Dakota
farmers a good many million dollars
a year. The grain as it ome from
the machine contains a good deal of
wild oats. This does not represent all
the wild cats grown as a large part of
them scatter before the grain is har-
vested. The space occupied by wild
oats might just as we'll be growing
grain. At the elevator the grain has
to be locked on account of the wild
oats. The wild oats are reducing the
yields, in some cases one half or more.
This is a terrible tax yet it is paid
every year on many farms.
In continuous grain growing wild
oats usually becomes worse year after
year. When crops are rotated the
wild oats have to go. To get rid of
wild oats get them to grow and then
kill them before they pro-, ice seed.
The cultivated crops and hay crops are
death to wild oats if we'll handled.
Rye is also good wild oat killer and
late sown barley on late spring low
ing riptlis about us early rs the wild
oats so that about all of them will be
in the barley. Another point in wild
oat eradication is that if any one of
the furrow slice is cleaned they may
be as bad as ever if the other side is
tara' up :he next next year. 1t has
has been found at the North Dakota
Experiment Station that wild oats
buried six inches deep for five years
will be all dead. This means that land
that has been in hay pasture ~. FIVE
years will be free from wild oats, I'M
less some blow in on it.-North Dako-
ia Experiment Station.
