grass from developing seeds to the
point where they will terminate,
crops in which it is growing should
be cut not later than the last week in
June.
Young quack grass plants, attack
ed before they have formed under
ground stems, are as easily killed as
plants of wheat or other grains of
the same age.
Manure containing quack grass seed
may be applied on plowed ground be-
fore preparing the soil for cultivat-
ed crop. The seed will grow the
same season, and the young plants
will be killed in the preparation Of
the seed bed and the cultivation of
the crop.
Digging by hand and removing from
the field all portions of the plant,
smothering with tar paper and spray
ing with a solution of sodium arse
mite are best for the complete eradi-
cation of quack grass on small spots.
All methods of eradication on large
fields are based on thorough tillage.
The implements found on any well
equipped farm are all that are needed
to eradicate quack grass.
The most effective bare fallOw meth
Cd of eradication was blowing in July
three or four inches deep, replOwing
not later than Aug. ID five or six inches
deep and again in November six or
seven inches deep. The disk was used
as needed between plowings to keep
the quack grass from showing green
above ground. The cost Of the addi-
tional labor necessary for complete
eradication under this system was
$3.50 per acre. No crop was secured
from the land that season.
Complete eradication of quack grass
while following system of crop rota-
ton was found practical when more
than the ordinary amount Of tillage
was given.
Tillage given now and then when
nothing else needs immediate attention
Is largely lost effort in the eradication
Of Quack grass. To be effective there
must be well planned and carefully
carried out campaign with which other
work is not allowed to interfere. Till
age operations should injure the quack
grass as much as possible and should
be repeated often enough to make eff
fective the work that has preceded.
Eradication of quack grass on land
that has been plowed each year is more
difficult than on land that has been
undisturbed for a number Of years.
In carrying out the different rotations
a regular plan Of cleanup" to eradi-
cate the quack grass was followed on
each field with uniformly successful
results. The plan was varied on three

exceptional opportunity for the eradi-

THE LANDS FIRST NEED.

Fertility is the first word In
farming. 1t Is the first consid-
Grafton In placing value on
new lands. Ii is first mentioned
when old farms are sold. 1t Is
the first problem that confronts
the beginner as well as the ex-
pert who takes up the cultiva-
ton Of new crops on new fields.
1t Is first In a list of questions
asked by those seeking help In
farming. The solution Of the fer
tility problem makes many other
problems comparatively easy to
; solve.
The quick and easy way to get
: fertility Is to buy it. 1t can be
: had In bags In the form of COM
mercial fertilizers or by the car
: load in the form of animal
; manure.
But this method of fertilization
requires cash capital and does
: not fulfill all the needs of the
: land. Since we have learned
: that a fertile soil is a mixture
: Of mineral and vegetable sub
: stance, teeming with germ life.
: fermenting With innumerable
: minute plants and chemical
: changes, we have learned that a
; soil needs more than mere min
