A study of the eradication OF any
perennial weed should begin with a
consideration of its underground
parts When the character of its IN
dergronnd growth is determined the
next step is to devise a method of
eradication based on its habits Hedge
and field bindweed will be considered
in this article.
The hedge bindweed may start
growth in the spring from near the
top of the root stock sent to the sur
face during the preceding year. or the
top growth may come from any part
OF the preceding years underground
growth. This underground stem forms
buds. from which new root stocks
grow. Furthermore. new root stocks
may grow from any of the buds along
the old root stock. An individual root
stock may retain its vitality Tor two
or more years if left undistarbed.
The field bindweed is pfopagated by
roots instead of root stocks. These
roots extend in a more or less hort
zontal direction from several inches
to several feet below the surface At
any point along the root an ADVENT

Tests Made With Many Varieties by

The Georgia State College of Agri-

have been introduced from time to

does not embrace so long a time.
The best results obtained during
the seyen-year tests have been from

The tests for five years show an av-
erage of 1926 bushels per acre for
Bats Prolific; 3S2S bushels for Abe

College Cross yielded $3.50 bushels

COOPERATION is BEST PLAN
Latest Report of Success Comes From
Wheat Belt of kansas-Farmers
Organize Company.

by JAMES PIERCE. In Iowa Home
steady
am a firm believer in cooperation
among farmers Ends can be attained
by organized effort which are abso-
lutely impossible by individual and
spasmodie effort. Therefore. whenever
see notable examples of cooperative
success | propose to tell you about
them. That I will have ready hearers
| do not doubt, for nowhere has the
cooperative movement made greater
Roadway than here in the grain belt.
Wisconsin has the honor to lead all
the states in the number and strength
of its cooperative activities, furnish
ing an example which other states
might well afford to follow.
The latest report of cooperative
success comes from the heart of the
wheat belt in Kansas, where farmers
who have organized a stock and grain
company have not only realized 10 per
cent en- their investment. but the prof
its have been sufficiently large to en-
able them TO declare a dividend of
one cent a bushel on all the grain han
died in the last year. The fact that
since June. 1915. the company has
handled more than 105, 600 bushels of
corn and wheat and "a carloads of
stock shows the eXtensiVeness of the
operations The greater part of this
105 900 bushels of grain handled was
sold by farmers who were not stock
holders of the company Many of them
came for long distances, even pass
ing other elevators on the way. Here
is splendid refutation of the charge
sometimes made that farmers cannot
and will not hold together in an or
ganization such as this.
The farmers organization thus so
signally successful was formed eight
years ago to buck one of the old-line
elevator concerns. and 1t was only
few years until the old-line company
was glad to sell out and leave the
farmers in complete control Origi-
nally the concern was capitalized at
$4,000. but last June the capital stock
was doubled the membership being
Increased to 80. In 1914 the company
had Z43 grain customers anu last year

OUTLINE OF SAFE FARMING"
Program Recommended by Govern
ment Specialists to Secure Safety
In the Cotton Belt

The history of agriculture in the
South, 1t has been said. has been one
of lean years and fat years. Short
crops and high prices have almost in
variably been followed by big crops
and low prices and in consequence.
the farmer has experienced much dis
tress. The increased attention which
has recently been given to supporting
the people upon the land has already
resulted in much good, but there Is
some danger, it is pointed out. that,
with the price of cotton rising, there
will be a tendency for farmers to re-
turn to the oldeystem of gambling on
cotton. If the people of the South
produced their own living. the circular
points out, it would steady the whole
system and keep the boat from rock
ing. The safety measures recommend
ed are as follows:
First-Produce a home garden for
every family on the farm. the year
round. paying special attention to
plot of Irish or sweet potatoes sutii-
cient to supply the family with food
of this character. Where feasible,
have a patch of sorghum or other
cane to produce strip for the family.
Second-Produce the corn necessary
to support all of the people on the
farm and the live stock, with absolute
safety
Third-Produce the necessary oats
and ether small grain to supplement
the corn as food. Pay attention to
winter grazing.
Fourth-Produce hay and forage
from some forage crop, sufficient to
supply all of the live stock on the
farm Use legumes such as clover.
cowpeas, velvet beans, soy beans and
alfalfa for the production of hay and
to enrich the soil with nitrogen and
humus
Fifth-Produce the meat necessary
to suppl. the people, through in
creased attention to poultry and hogs
especially Plan to increase gradually
the number of cattle and other live
stock so as to have sufficient mum
Der to consume the waste products OF
the farm and make the waste lands
productive.
Sixth-After all of the things
have been amply provided for, pro-
duce cotton for the market.

EFFICIENCY OF FARM LABOR
to Do More Work Than Two Men
and Four Horses.

Efficiency of farm labor is often as
important as it's distribution. Two
young men were blowing clover sod.
Each had two horses hitched to a Ia
inch walking pillow. 1t was heavy
blowing, and each team was barely
able to pillow l y acres a day
One morning the men decided to try
three horses on one pillow. They did
so. and to their great surprise one man
and three horses easily plowed three
acres per day. They plowed as much
as two men and four horses had pre-
viously done and did it much more
easily.
It was even easier for the driver. be-
cause it is always easier to drive
team that is not overloaded. The new
arrangement released one man and
one horse for other work.
