Control Measures.
The underlying principles Of weed
control are shown in these rules by
the specialists Of the United States
Departments Of Agriculture:
Use pure seed
Rotate the farm crops.
Utilize pusturing animals, particu
larry sheep and goats, in keeping
weeds down.
Never allow weeds to mature. Now
before the seed, have ripcucd.
Use mtcrtillcd crops, and cultivate
often.
Kill weeds while they are young by
means of Il harrow or weeder.
Compost manure 60" two months he.
fore usin. If it contains weed seeds.
Practice surface cultivation after
the crops have been removed in the
fan
Use smother crops; buckwheat, soy
beans, cowpcas, velvet beans, clover
etc
Chemical poisonS often are helpful
Prepare the seed beds thoroughly 10
give the crop START over the weeds.
Use winter cover crops.
Hunt out the scattered weeds, and
kill Them
Nov dangerous grasses and burn
the dry cuttings.
Small patches of perennial weeds
can be killed by covering for the en-.
tire season with building paper. boards
or other materials to exclude the light
Kill the roots of perennial weeds by
keeping the tops cut down.
Grow alfalfa, when practicable, on
weed-infcsted land.
Soil Improvement by the use of lime
or green manure will help to control
the weeds.
Soiling crops prevent the weeds from
reaching maturity.

Weeds have been with us since the
day when Adam, doomed to earn his
bread by the sweat of his brow, began
scraping with a stick NJ the plants he
did not want in order to give those he

days farmers are apt to ignore weeds
or to accept them as an inevitable evil.
Weed Destruction Paramount.
The results Of over 200 experiments
conducted by the United States De
partmcnt ur Agriculture with various
crops strongly Indicate that after pre-

of cultivation IS to destroy weeds. II
