URGES VALUE OF SPANISH

Former Gov. Benton McMillin of
Tennessee. now minister to Peru, who
is In the United States for a brief stay,
believes that Spanish Is the most i'm

that 1t ought to be taught In all the

Spanish is the most universally
used language" said Minister McMillin.
Every one Of the 20 republics Of South

American republics and the United

weeds a poor chance to mature seeds,
as they are cut for hay before most
weeds ripen. Again, adopting a rota-
ton often means growing cultivated
crops on land where such crops have
not been raised. The value of cult
waited crops in cleaning land of weeds
has already been emphasized.
Demonstrations of the value of a
rotation in controlling weeds are avail
able in many localities. For example.
In western Kansas wheat Is usually
grown continuously, and when this is
the case weeds are very troublesome
but when a rotation, including a cul-
tivated crop and a forage crop. Is
adopted, the weeds that are so COM
mon under continuous wheat growing
growth and to mature their seeds.
Hence, weeds become very much re-
duced. Another example Is furnished
In parts of eastern New York, where
1t is customary to keep land In mead
Ow for many years. These meadows
become foul with orange hawkweed,
Ox-eye daisy, wild carrot, and other
weeds. Introducing a cultivated crop
and a grain crop soon disposes of most
Of these weeds.
Cooperation In Controlling Weeds.
Probably no feature of weed control
Is more important than cooperation
among those concerned. Weed con-
troll Is a community problem rather
than one for the individual farmer to
solve. and without the cooperation of
his neighbors the results Of the in
dividual farmers efforts are more or
less discouraging. because where
weeds are allowed to grow undis.
turbed they produce sufhcient seeds
to infest the adjacent lands. The nee
essary cooperation might be arranged
through agricultural clubs and other
farm organizations.
