TELLS HOW TO KILL
NOXIOUS WEED
Says the Only Way to Eradi-
cate Witch Grass Is to
Dig 1t Up
BY Charles Sughroe
a. V.,,,,, Nt...s,n., Io.,

(By NJ. Y. Barnes, County AGENT
Some of the most annoying things
with which farmer has to conterd
with are weeds and of these quack
or witch grass is probably the great
est nuisance. As witch grass spreads
by means of underground stems and
by seed, all attempt to eradicate it
must be either by preventing IS
going to seed or by starving out and
killing the underground stems. The
first is easy. The crop in which it
grows should be cut Just before the
witch grass seed is formed and anV
manure or litter containing the seed
should only be applied in the spring
on plowed ground before preparing
the soil for a cultivated crop. Any
seedlings may then be easily des-
troyed by cultivation.
The best time to kill the root stalks
o. underground stems is in mid sum
mer after haying or harvesting ard
the easiest place to attack the g.ass
is in a meadow or pasture that has
been down several years. The longer
the land has been in sod the ncarei
the cots are to the surface, usually
within 2-3 inches. To kill these blow
shallow, cutting Just under the turf
OF roots. A Scotch bottom pillow with
d very sloping mouldboard will do
this work very nicely. After this is
done, the ground should be disked
every ten days or so until late fail.
This is necessary as witch grass
grows very rapidly in the fall TIL
next spring the surface working
should be continued until time to pillow
for the crop and then the 1cGd roots
should be turned under deeply
The crop to be put on the ground
should be cultivated one like CON
which can be we'll cared for.
In case there is some doubt as to
he roots being all dead, the surface
working should be continued instead
If blowing, and then buckwheat or
ndia wheat sown thickly.
Witch grass which has been well /,
established in a cultivated field is
.lmoSt impossible to get rid of Deep
flowing only makes looSer soil for
he roots to grow in. and they are
iot slow in takin~ advantage of it.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
The lambing season Is the time for
particular care of the mothers of the
flock, and precautions against any Ill
ness or injury either to ewes or
lambs.
The eve should have a quiet, dry,
sufficiently warm place in which to
bring forth her young, should be in
sured against molestation by other
sheep, and should be guarded against
possible mishap.
Avoid Heavy Feeding.
Care should be taken before lamb
ing time, specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture adj
wise, to see that the eve is not fed
too heavily, as heavy feeding is likely
to cause udder trouble. The wool
should be clipped from around the
teats, to enable the lamb to find them
readily.
Just before lambing time, the eve
will become restless aud show sunken
places in front Of the hips. She should
be placed in separate pen, which can
be made of two panels of board fenc-
ing about four feet high, hinged to-
gether at right angle and hooked or
otherwise fastened to the walls of the
sheep shed. These panels permit the
eve to see the other sheep, thus pre-
venting her from getting excited and
nervous. At the same time, they pro-
tect the lamb from trampling, give the
eve opportunity to get acquanteJl
with her offspring and reduce the dan
ger Of disowning later.
The lamb that Is born strong and
vigorous will need little care. If con-
dltions are not so favorable, first-aid
measures will be necessary. In cold
weather lambs become chilled and die,
unless prompt remedies are used.
Wrapping the lamb In hot flannel
cloths, which are renewed as often as
necessary. Is an excellent method OF
warming 1t. Another method Is to
place the lamb for a few minutes In
water as hot as the hand will bear;
then dry with cloths and wrap for an
hour or two In fresh cloths or sheep
