Why Weeds Are Dangerous

Weeds are everlasting enemies to all
growing crops, and this includes not
only the annual growing crops like
corn, cotton, truck crops, etc, but fruit
treesas well. Weeds are more accus-
toned to knocking" for themselves
so to speak, than are the highly bred,
cultivated crops. 1t is therefore, no
wonder that our ordinary field and
garden crops cannot win out in a
''free-fOr-all' battle with them.
1t takes forty pounds of water to
produce one pound of weeds. There
fore, If an acre of ground produces
1000 pounds of weeds, these pests have
utilized 10000 pounds of water or ap-
proximately 5000 gallons. During a
wet season, the loss of this amount Of
moisture may not mean a whole lot,
but the chances are ten to one that
during the growth of a crop there will
be a time when this water can be very
profitably utilized by the crops. There
fore, even from the standpoint of mois-
ture alone, it will pay to keep the
weeds down.
1t should also be remembered that
while taking up this large amount Of
water, the weeds are also taking up
plant food. Let's keep these facts in
mind and fight weeds vigorously in the
garden, field and orchard. The hard
er they are fought now before they
produce seed, the less we will have to
fight next year, and the more plant
food and moisture will be left for the
growing ps.-Progressive Farmer.
