Many weeds are propagated only
by seeds. Weed seeds are produced |
in large numbers along roadsides,
fence rows, and ditch banks, in vacant
fields, and in waste places, and the
seeds are scattered by wind, water,
birds and other AGENTS. By cutting
weeds before the seeds are suffi-
GENTLY mature to terminate, an enor-
nous amount Of trouble and labor
and loss could be avoided; but only !
The most progressive farmers do this.
