Fully p per cent of the earning ca
pacity Of some farms in certain sec
tons Of Wisconsin is being lost be-
cause of weeds. Taxes, of course, are
inevitable, and regarded by many as
necessary evils, but who ever had to
nav a tax of - cents on the dollar?
Yet few persons appreciate how much
the total income of the farm is de-
creased by nOXiOus weeds, or how rap
idly these pests are being spread over
the state. Millions Of dollars can be
saved annually by the use of a few
simple methods of weed control.
For control purposes weeds are di-
yided into two classes: the ANIMALS
and biennials, plants living one or
two years and the perennials, plants
living longer than two years.
Annual and biennial weeds may, for
purposes of eradication, be treated
alike. Scattered weeds are best Grad
icated by cutting or pulling up the
roots when in full bloom. Where they
occur in large patches, thorough cult

the plants from going to seed.
Summer following. partial summer
following and smother cropping, thor
ough cultivation with q crop, smOth-
ering with tar paper or straw, and APP
plications of salt or brine are methods
which may be used in controlling sue
cessfully the perennial weeds. Two
of the most troublesome weeds in
this state are quack grass and Can
ada thistle. Whatever method will de-
stroy quack grass will also kill Can
ada thistle. Following or cultivation
without a crop is the surest method
to use on large areas, and covering

THAT it requires for an even gec-

THAT the plants are likely to be

THAT the plant makes vigorous

THAT it requires the proper bac-

from fields of lupineS, with which it
will cross-inoculate. 1t may fail if not

"That it is possible to get one good
cutting in a season, and the forage in

from bloat."
Wisconsin authorities state that
soil for serradella should be prepared
in the same manner as for clover. The
seed is drilled about May 1, or a little
later, according to the season. One
and One-half inches is the average
depth of planting, and from p to 81
pounds of seed are required for an
acre OF serradella when planted alone.

 The last important assault was car ried out on the night of May 30, and for this selected German regiments were especially trained and rehearsed behind their own lines, before they were thrown against the French lines. But they only met with disas- ter. On this occasion the first and second assaulting waves were everywhere annihilated before they were half way to the French positions. A few mer in the waves thar followed obtained a footing in the French lines and the fiercest bayonet duels ensued in which all the German assaulting forces were killed, except In one trench where a German detachment Held out until daybreak.
