WEEDS ARE WITH US ALWAYS; IT'S MOSTLY OUR FAULT Even the Wild Onion, so Long Consid ered a Hopeless Problem, Can Be Wiped Out, and so Can Others, if Farmers Will Follow Set Rules. Weeds have been with us since the (lay when Adam, doomped to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow be gan scraping with a stick at the piants he did niot want in order to give those he did want a chance to grow. In modern days farmers are apt to ignore weeds or to accept them as an inevit able evil. Weed Destruction Paramount The results of over 200 experiments i conducted by the United States De- 1 partment of Agriculture with various crops strongly indicate that after pre- I parming the seed bed, the main object I of cultivation is to destroy weeds.

Mod rn agricultural science has discovered nuch concerning the control and era lication of these insidious lan( I Ahieves. The wild onion, for example, was considered a hopeless problem rrom Massachusetts to Georgia, and is far west as Missouri and Arkansas intil a weed specialist in the Depart nent of Agriculture discovered that ,he plant produced two kinds of bulbs. 3ne type was soft-coated, and formed Jhe new plants during late summer Ind fall; the other was hard so that it 6vas unharmed by winter, and ready :o form the Iew plants in the spring. With this to guide them the specialis ;s proved that the wild onion can be ontrolled by plowing deeply in the ate fall to destroy the plants origi iating fro inthe'soft-coated bulbs, and by planting an intertilled crop, such is corn, the following spring to kill he plants that came up from the I-rald-coated bulbs.

The seeds are carried miles by tutomobiles, horses, and passing wag >ns, so that they become a menace to Lhe whole community. If nothing bet Ler can be done with the roadside weeds they can be mowed twice a year. This treatment, if well kept up, I will effectively check the trouble. Sometimes a roadside can be convert ud into a lawn, or it can be used for ,rops, to the pride and profit of the farmers whose land it borders. The underlying principles of weed -ontrol are shown in these rules by Lhe specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture: Use pure seed. Rotate the farn crops. Utilize pasturing animals, particul arly sheep and goats, iii keeping weeds down. Never allow weeds to mature. Mow before the seeds have ripened. Use intertilled crops, and cultivate itften. Kill weeds while they are young by means of a harrow or a weeder. Compost ma onure for two months before using if it contains weed seeds. Practice surface cultivation after the crops have been removed in the fall. Use smother crops; buckwheat, soy beans, cowpeas, velvet beans, clover, tc. Chemical poisons often are helpful. Prepare the seed beds thoroughly to give the crop a start over the 4 Weeds. Use winter cover crops. 1I1unt out the scattered weeds, aiid kill them. Now dangerous grasses and burn the dry cuttings. Small patches of perennial weeds van le killed by covering for the en tire season with building paper, boards, or other materilIs to exclude the light. Kill the roots of pernvinial Weeds by keeping the tops cut down. Grow alfalfa when practicable onI weed-infested land. Soil improvement by the use of Inme or green manure will help to con - trol the weeds. Soiling crops prevent the weeds el from reaching maturity. i When other iethitis fail, use the I bahe fallow. It is better to lose a 0 whole crop forI one year than to lose a a hrge part of the crtops every Vyar IDo not introdtuice wed seeds by S means of thrashing maichines, stock i feed, hay, st raw, chalf, etc. .
