sprayer which maintained a good

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agricultural
The problem Of suppresslng weeds
Is a many-sided one and an important
part Of the management of the farm.
Successful crop management includes
successful weed management.
Larger Crops Mean Fewer Weeds.
Generally speaking, the larger the
crops, the fewer tire weeds present.
This is especially true with small
grain and hay, since good stands of
these crops will tend to smother out
weeds. Furthermore, pastures that
are given good care by top-dressings
and by not o~ver-grazing always con-
tain fewer weeds and more grass than
those poorly managed. .
Special Methods Of Handling Certain
Weeds.
The farmer should know the kind Of
weeds which he has to fight, because
In the case of some of them special
methods have been discovered which
greatly reduce the amount Of work
necessary. The United States depart
ment of agriculture has issued bull
letins treating individually a number
of the worst weeds and these publica-
tons may be obtained on request.
Rotations and Weeds.
An important benefit from practic-
ing a rotation is in the control Of
weeds. If land is planted to the same
crop year after year, certain weeds
have ample opportunity to make top
growth and mature their seeds, and
these weeds therefore become firmly
established but If the land is planted
to different crops in succession these
weeds do not have the opportunity to
make nearly as much Roadway. Fur
thermore, adopting a rotation usually
means the growth Of grass, clover, or
other forage crops. These crops not
Only>discourage many kinds of weeds
by their shading effect, but also give

cornmeal In Honduraa

Because Of the marked success Of
recent governmental and private eff.
forts to promote the production OF
more cereals during the period OF the
war, writes Consul Waiter f. Boyle,
Puerto COrtes, an American company
has imported and erected the first mill
for the milling Of cOrhmeal. This was
purchased In the United States and
has been erected at San Pedro, suia,
Honduras. It Is a small equipment,
but marks the beginning OF a new In
dustry.
Western liberal. (Lordsburg, N.M.) 1887-1919, 1918-06-28

weeds a poor chance to mature seeds,
as they are cut for hay before most
weeds rlpen. Again, adopting a rOta-
ton often mean growing cultivated
crops on land where such crops have
not been raised. The value of culti-
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
do not have so much chance to make
growth and to mature their seeds.
Hence, weeds become very much re-
duced. Another example is furnished
In parts of eastern New York, where
it 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 oon dlsposes 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
divldual farmers efforts are more or
Tess d~iscouraging, because where
weeds are allowed to grow undls.
turbed they produce sufficient seeds
to infest the adjacent lands. The nee
essary cooperation might be arranged
through agricultural clubs and other
farm organizations.

Mississippi Ready

jackson, Miss, Nov. 23.-Although
the Democratic primary election is
eight months off, the state campaign
in Mississippi has warmed to the
point where the political pot is be-
ginning to boil. Within another sixty
days the. contest among the candi-
dates will be in full swing.
Mississippi next year will elect all
its public officials, from governor
down to constable, with the exception
of the judges of the courts, who were
elected this year. The Democratic
primary, which is equivalent to an
election, will be held the first Tues
day in August, 1919.
Chief interest is being conferred in
the governorship, and it looks as if
the woods are full of candidates for
that office. Four avowed candidates
are in the race, with good prospects
for two or three more entries.

active in his behalf during the regu-

lature last summer and they are still
busy.
The question as to how the soldier
vote will line up in the next state
campaign seems to be worrying the
friends of all Of the possible candl-
dates for governor, with the excep-
.tion of the supporters of Colonel
Stubs. The Stubs men are posi-
tive in their opinion that the soldier
vote will go to him practically solid,
and they are predicting that he will
mop up in the first primary.
1t is estimated that Louisiana has
between 10000 and $4,000 white
men in the army and navy. This
includes the National Guard, vOlun-
teers and drafted men. If the sol
diers and sailors line up for any one
man, politicians believe he will get
the nomination. Soldiers and sailors
are exempt from the payment of poll
taxes and all of them will be qualified
to vote when they return.
