WILD BARLEY OR SQUIRREL TAIL
HARBoRs RUST.

WIND barley or squirrel tail grass /!
not only one of the most common
weeds but it is becoming one of tn,
most annoying. Not only does it inter
fere with the production of crops, bur
1t Injuries domestic animals, like hors
es, sheep and cattle. H..
tits One of the mose common hosts
of the common stem rust of wheat and
If for no other reason than this il
should be exterminated.
The character of the weed should be
well understood. Dr. L. H. Pammel
botanist of the Iowa Experiment sta,
ton says on this point!
1T is an annual or winter annual
from six inches to two feet high. 1t
has fibrous roots, which form solid
compact lunches and rather short
leaves, not unlike those of bluegrass,
only paper IN color, from two to four
inches long, with rough margins, flow
ers in dense spike from two to four
inches long and pale green or purplish
in color; when in fruit the plant has
a bushy top and spreading awns,
which give it a bristly appearance.
"At maturity the head breaks up in
to joints and these separate parts are
scattered by the wind. Each head pro-
duces from IS to 60 seeds. ..
The plant is wonderful stooler, as
many as 40 stalks coming from a sin
gle seed. A single cluster Of the plant,
therefore, produces from 300 to 1000
seeds. This weed is common on the
roadside and the seed" produced
along the roadside are sufficient to
SOW a good part of a farm quite thick
ly. Hr ,aF ...a
Squirrel tail grass is not difficult
to exterminate where the field is plow-
ed. A single blowing followed with the
harrow will destroy the weed. The
weed is most common in the pasture
and the best way to deal with it there
is to cut it at the time of blooming to
prevent the formation of seed This
will not however, Kill the plant, but
simply prevents the formation of seed,
AS soon as possible this meadow OF
pasture should be brought under cul-
aviation. ,. ta.s .fs..- ...s. ....
Because squirrel tail grass harbors
stem rust, it is the patriotic duty of
township trustees and road supervis-
ors to prevent the formation of seeds
of this weed on highways that being
the source from which the seeds
spread to the adjacent farms.

CONSERVE CROPS.

Mahaska county threshers have
bsen organized into food administra-

Township chairman of the grain

ply with their orders or refusing to
observe their directions will be re,
ported to federal authority. .. ..

4. See that the ground and place
where threshing is. done is cleaned upI
we'll after the job is completed. Do not
leave any grain upon the ground with
the understanding that it will be eat

grain, is too precious at the present
time to use for such purposes. ......
The threshers will also keep a rec.
ord of the grain threshed for whom.
and when threshed, and the same will
be turned in at the end of the eason
