KILLING Wild Oats.

Wild outs are one of the worst weed
pests that the Colorado farmer has to
deal with especially in the higher alti-
tutles. Where wild oats have occupied
the land for a number Of years they
usually hare left large amount of
seed on and In the soil. Quite fire.
qurntly when given crop OF wild
oats Is destroyed by cutting or plow-
ing the land will Immediately come up
thickly with wild oats. The common
impression is that the crop was not
destroyed, whereas usually the grow
ing crop was killed and the crop which
appears Is the result of the sprouting
Of seed already in the soil.
The best way to rid the land of wild
oats is to use meadow crops or cult
waited crops. If the wild oats are pre-
vented from seeding and conditions
made favorable for the sproutins of
the seed In the ground they can be
erndicated in short time. The seed
is known to have vitality enough to lie
In the soil from three to seven years
before germinating.-Alvin Keze. Colo

RANGE FOR CHICKS.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

The problem of supplying range or
green feed for chicks does not receive
sufficient attention. This is an impor-
tant side of the proper rearing of
poultry. and the farmer who has sour
skimmik or buttermilk to spare and
IL good green range has more than half
his chick problem solved.
For temporary feeding one can soak
oats overnight In water wash them
thoroughly next morning and spread
them In half inch layers In boxes or
trays. Place these trays In the shade
outdoors and sprinkle with water twice
daily. In from three to six days tile
oats will be ready for feeding. For
baby chicks feed when the sprouts are
one-half inch long. giving once daily
what the chicks will ent in about ten
minutes.
Rape may be sown and when grown

tuce mangels. beets and turnips can
also be used for green feed.-Color

the water should be soft and warm.

throughout the operation. Never put
soap directly on the fabric. and use
only the milder kinds. Make nice
suds before putting the garment in the

ENORMOUS WASTE BY WEEDS
Iowa Agricultural College Estimates a
Loss of S25,ooo, 0C0 In Iowa Alone.


Experts of the Iowa Agricultural col
lepe estimate that weeds cost Iowa
farmers not less than $25,OOO,0O0 n
year. This is huge sum. and If there
Is difficulty IN crediting the possibility
of n loss so enormous rs springlng
from this source alone there need be
small wonder. But the experts leave
no broom for doubt. They have made
careful investigation in both field and
laboratory, and they put on record the
facts that these disclosed.
Weeds. says their bulletin, are harm.
full in n good many ways. They con
sumo plant food that should so to the
agricultural crop. They rob cultivated
plants of sunlight. They take the mois
ture so essential for a crop, especially
in Il dry year. Weeds like the morning
glory pull down a crop like wheat. corn
or oats. Many of them harbor bad in.
sects.
But there is little need to waste time
giving weed bad reputation. says
the indianapolis News. That 1t has
already. and the farmer knows from
experience what weeds do to his crops
Transmitting the damage to dollars.
however, and applying the figures to
the state as whole Is likely to set
the agriculturist thinking along new
lines. 1t presents the subject from
another viewpoint.
What IL true Of Iowa. OF course, is
true In proportion in other states. Iowa
farmers are not slovenly farmers. Their
fields are MS well cultivated as the
fields of farmers elsewhere. The weed
Is no greater menace there than it Is
in Indiana, and in Indiana. also. 1t Is
causing damage amounting to milliont
Of dollars annually.
