Weeds.


With the many war gardens there
will be more weeds to pull up this
season than ever before. Oddly
enough the mere pulling up of the
weed is not the chief difficulty. One
may pull up each weed as 1t appears
or one may wait till all the weeds arc
up and then do the pulling. Weeds
grow for no other purpose than to be
pulled and most OF them may be pulled
several times. The great difficulty Of
the amateur gardener who has vege-
tables here and there among his weeds
Is to make sure which is the weed and
which is the vegetable. Many garden
crs make the mistake of sitting down
to consider this point and while they
are puzzling over 1t as many more
weeds have appeared. 1t has been
proved upon experiment that weeds
can be pulled faster than they grow,
although this point has been hotly de-
batcd. In distinguishing the vcgeta bles
from the weeds the simplest method Is
the best. Pull UP everything in the
garden. Those that come up again are
weeds.
