FARMERS START CAMPAIGN
Farmers in Several Communities
Start Campaign to Eradicate
Kale and Wild Mustard
from Grain Fields.
Bloomington Forms Spray Ring.
Other Communities Interested

| Inasmuch as oats and other grains
are the most natural crops for Or
I leans county, where the winters are
usually very cold and the growing
season short, it is decidedly impor-
tant that every effort possible should
be put forth to grow the crop eff
GENTLY. Farmers cannot longer con-
tinue to grow crops of grain, large
portion of which is kale or wild mus
tard, and expect, to make a profit on
that crop. Not only do these weeds
decrease the oat and straw yields, but
they grow new seed to be transferred
to other fields through the straw and
grain. Moreover, the new seeding is
greatly hampered, and seldom, if
ever, is a good ~stand of grass har-
vested on piece where there was an
abundance 70 kale in the previous
crop.
KALE ELIMINATED BY SPRAY
ING
That kale and wild mustard can be
almost totally eradicated by spray
ing, has been we'll demonstrated in
many sections of New England. The
cost of such a spraying is very slight
and unless something unusual hap
pens ought not to exceed $3.50 per
acre this season, which includes the
cost of the iron sulphate and it's appli-
cation. The machine used for spray
ing grain may be any sprayer, nor
mally used for field crops, but must
develop a nozzle pressure of from Is
to 100 pounds.
BROWNLNGTON FORMS SPRAY
RING
Determined to eradicate kale from
their grain fields, nine farmers of
Bloomington have organized a spray
ring, and ordered enough iron sui
plate through the Farm Bureau to
spray upwards of 35 acres of grain
A sprayer has been arranged for and
a man secured to run it, all of which
points to more efficient production of
grain in the town of Bloomington this
season.
OTHER COMMUNITIES CONTEM-
PLATE SIMILAR ACTION
Several other communities of the
county are also considering spray
rings similar to the one organized in
, Bloomington. Two farmers in South
Albany have already purchased
enough iron sulphate to spray 10
acres of grain.
Glover and West Glover Farm Bu-
reau members are considering the
work for these communities, and some
Unconstitutional work at least, will
be done in Glover this year.
A few farmers in Lowell are consid-
ering various types of sprayers and
some definite action is expected in the
near future.
