HAS 100 KINDS OF WEEDS
And SIN Kansas IL Growing
Wheat


Kansas has nearly hundred var
ieties Of weeds, according to a hulle-
tin by II. r. Roberts Of the Kansas
Agricultural Experiment Station. A
Few of the most nOxiOus are John
son grass, bindweed, quick grass,
Canadian thistle, iron weed, Russian
thistle, cookie bur and fOxtail.
Johnson and bindweed are declared
to be the Kansas farmers worst
weed enemies.
Discussing the principal weeds
and methods Cor their eradication
the bulletin says:
johnson grass or wild sorghum,
as It is called in central Kansas, is
often mixed with the seed OF Sudan
grass. The seeds Of the two plants
can scarcely be distinguished. john
son grass propagates not only by
seed but by underground feshy
stems. When the root stock is cut
in ordinary farming operations every
piece that bears bud will develop
a sturdy plant. For eradication the
roots should be compelled. to grow
as near the surface as possible. Con-
tinued moving or pasturing will
weaken the plant so that the root
stock will penetrate to depth of
only three to six inches. Then In
about two years the field should
have shallow blowing in order
that the roots may be exposed TO
the extreme changes of weather.
Where possible, hogs on light feed
should be turned into the field.
