While tillage in its relation to
weeds usually is practiced for the
benefit of the immediate crop it also
may serve the purpose of preventing
hosts of weeds from maturing seed"
opens the discussion in Farmers Bull.
letin No. ego, Weeds How to Control
Them" This bulletin gives 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: "a pre-
venting the weeds from going to seed
on the farm; (2) preventing the intro
duction of weed seeds on the farm;
and (3) 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 q spike-toothed harrow is frequent
ly 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
or is also q valuable implement for

and many other weeds by little hand
work.
Sheep are useful In preventing
weeds from seeding In a pasture
where sheep are running It IL usually
much more free OF weeds than In
pastures where cattle am horses are
running. Another method of prevent
ing the spread OF weeds sometimes
used. is burning them, culling. spoil.
ing or turning over the standing weed
crop. This is often useful In killing
weed seeds both In connection with
the weeds cut green and allowed to
dry. and with matured weeds. Care
should be taken not to fork or disturb
piles while drying, as this might scat.

the objects OF burning.

weed and foxtail, start to mature
seeds soon after harvest, SO that caro-
must be taken to turn the plants un-
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
rule, it is best to NOV 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 we'll as to secure better
quality of hay. After a grain crop is
removed, 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 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
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 II 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.
tool with a long handle and chisel-
like blade at one end. These are
particularly effective with bull thistle.
