Favor Cultural Method
for Eradicating Garlic

The cultural method for the eradl.
cation Of Wild garlic that is advocated
by the Purdue University Agricultural
Extension department has been used
with marked success by Walter Land
ers, Indiana.
At recent field meeting called BY
County Agent Horace Copeland, Mr.
Landers explained the method to the
farmers present. The meeting was
held in a field heavily Infested with
gariic a year ago. According to
Landers. he plowed the field Inc No
vember being careful to turn the tips
of the garlic plants completely under
in order to XIII the tops During early
April he plowed again and planted the
field 10 corn. BY this mems he has re-
duced the amount Of garlic about rs
per cent.
Three years Of blowing and cult
walton are necessary TO eradicate the
garlic but the results secured BY Land
ers ere very striking.
