WEEDS AND HOW TO CONTROL
THEM
BY e. Krauss

I DN IL ~ aAoa
In a sense farming may be called
a warfare against weeds. Some far
mers win the battle-while others
are finally OverpoWered. The impor-
tanee of keeping weeds controlled
cannot be emphasized too strongly
and it takes intelligent plannins to
overcome these enemies.
The cost of weeds to the AmeTi-
can farmer is a great many millions
of dollars yearly. Weeds materially
reduce crop yields. injure the quail
ity of the crop, increase the cost Of
harvesting and thTeshing, rob the
soil of fertility and moisture and
decrease the value of the land
Weed Control
The first and most important step
in weed control is to plant the best
possible seeds. It is important to
purchase seeds that are cleaned and
tested so that they are free from
weed seeds. Cheap seeds are often
the most expensive seeds that can
be purchased and may cause years
of work and trouble.
Prevention of weeds maturing on.
the farm is absolutely essential to
a weed elimination program. The
annual and biennial weeds II not

and the perennial plants, lacking
nOurishment from above, will also
have their root system weakened.
Tillage when plants are young,
sheep pasturing, burning
and chemical spraying are, all meth
Ods which can be used to keep
weeds from maturing. In the case
Of perennials a combination of

 drought last year might be repeat cd.
 Today the storm area extended from Texas to the DakotaS from Oklahoma to Illinois. Hundreds. of thousands of acres of fine wheat land were denuded. Other hum dreds of thousands of acres were covered with a plant-stifiing layer of dust that settled to earth as the wind subsided.
 Only rain or snow can clear the air. but no precipitation of any sort was indicated over the plains re- zion until Friday. Then showers of muddy water may fall over Mis- sOuri and Iowa. Snow is forecast for the Dakotas. Nebraska may get |scattered thunder showers.
 In Kansas and Missouri house. wives and municipalities could only await the settling of the dust before starting the seemingly hopeless task of cleaning homes and streets. Shovels displaced brooms in some communities.
 Kansas, the greatest wheat grow ing state in the world, now has the worst crop prospects since 1866, according to R. l. Throckmorton, head of the agronomy department of Kansas State College.
 United States Secretary of Agri- culture Henry A. Wallace removed all restrictions on. 1895 spring wheat planting. This emergency &C., ton in the face of a threatened wheat shortage had little bearing on Kansas and adjoining states where little spring wheat is plant ed.
 J. c. Mohler, secretary of the Kansas agriculture department. said that unless restrictions were removed on winter wheat there would be serious shortage.
 The AAA at Washington report ed the drought unabated in the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, Okla homa, Texas. Colorado, Wyoming and Montana.
 The dust pail today extended eastward to the Great Lakes re- zion. Visibility was reduced at St Louis and Chicago. Yesterday 1t blanketed Missouri moving slowly eastward.
 In western Kansas, children and adults became lost in the preter- natural night. Schools were closed, highways were blockaded. Train schedules were interrupted and airplanes grounded.
 Today the sun shone palely through the still present haze. Au- tomobile headlights gleamed weird blue-green. All colors were intensified or distorted. Skylnes which yesterday were erased today loomed as shapeless gray-blue masses.
