PREVENT SEED FROM MATURING
AND STARVE OUT UNDER
> GROUND PARTS.

:. The methods advocated for the
control or eradication of quack-grass
are more less similar for all sections,
according to data from the various State
experiment stations and the department.
In the eradication Of any weed which
propagates by underground parts and
also by the production of seeds, the
fundamental principles to be recognized
are, first, to prevent the plants from
maturing seeds, and second, to starve
out the underground parts by preventing
the formation of leaves.
The roots of quack-grass growing on
sod or pasture land are much nearer the
surface than where the grass is growing
in a cultivated field. For this reason,
when it is desired to clear field of quack-
grass, it IS often advisable to first utilize
the field as pasture or meadow. keeping
the grass grazed or cut rather close for a
year so or before attempting to kill it.
The process of killing quack-grass is
not complicated nor difficult, but re-
Qutres thorough, conscientious work and
perseverance. The work should start
in midsummer by blowing the infested
land only deep enough to turn over a
fnrow containing most Of the grass
roots On sod OF pasture land, 8 or 4
inches IS usually the proper depth, On
land which has not been hay OF pasture,
the blowing should usually be slightly
deeper. Ten days or two weeks after
blowing, this sod should be thoroughly
putverized with a disk harrow, which
will destroy any growth the plants may
have made. Repeat this narrowing
every 10 days or two weeks until fall,
when the grass will be completely killed
out.
In case of excessive rainfall after the
land is plowed the grass may start
growing again to such an extent that
the harrow will not be effective in killing
it. Under such circumstances it is adj
visable to plow the second time and
break the land slightly deeper than at
the first blowing. The following spring
the land should be plowed to a good
depth, in order to bury the many dead
roots on the surface. In case few sprigs
of the grass are still alive. it is advisable
to plant the fields in some intertilled
crop, as corn or potatoes, or to SOW some
smother crop, as buckwheat or millet.
On very small areas, the grass may be
destroyed by digging out all parts of the
plant by hand or by smothering with tar
paper. This, however, is practicable
only for very small areas.

GRAVEL GOES GLIMMERINC
CORTLAND Gravel Bank Scattered
Clear Across State In Two u.
Months Time.

The operations of the Northwestern
Railway on their big gravel pit at Court
land for the past two months have COM
pletely knocked the bottom out of the
pit as we'll as taking off the top and
scattering it clear across the state OF
Minnesota.
For about nine weeks the big steam
shovel has been eating away at the
gravel and scooping out upward of a
hundred cars of fine gravel day. Each
car holds about twenty-four cubic yards
of dirt and so without going to the labor
of computing the actual amount or ask
ing how long it would take one armed
man to shovel it out with tablespoon
it is safe to assume that a whole COB lot
OF gravel has been taken out.
The gravel has been spread along the
the track Of the Northwestern line all
the way from Rochester west to the
state line. Seven train crews have
been engaged in the work and the long
string of gondola cars, about twenty
five to thirty, have become a familiar
sight to those travelling along the lines
of the Northwestern system.
The system of handling the gravel
is interesting from the time it is scooped
from the pit till it is tamped down as
ballast on the right Of way. The
gondola side dump style OF car is used
as about twice the amount Of gravel
can be hauled in car Of this design
as on the old-style fat-car. The gravel
is unloaded by an ingenious labor
saving device called the Ledgerwood
spreader and pillow. This is operated
from the locomotive and simply begins
at one end of a line of cars and makes a
clean sweep to the other end. The train
is kept in slow motion all the time in
order to get an even distribution of
the gravel along the road bed. The
gravel is deposited in an even ribbon at
each side of the track and will be placed
between the rails and surfaced" during
the summer. It will keep many section
crews busy from now till winter sets in
to properly distribute the gravel. But
the road. bed will then be graveled for
twenty years to come as the company
has put on an, extra heavy coat.
