IN attempting to produce larga crops the tanner finds that he ha* many enemies working agalnat him. Among the worst of these are weeds. One of the greateat problems that confront the farmer la that of keeping bis cropa free from tbeae pests. After a field .has been ao bandied and prepared that a large amount of plant food Is In available form, with plenty of moisture to dissolve It, It Is poor policy to allow , weeds to seise* this food and . moisture and convert them Into a worthless _ product. . Weeds may be divided Into three general elves annuals, biennials and perennials. Annual weeds are propo gated entirely by aeeds and live but one year. An excepUoD to this is I found In the winter annuals, which come up In the fall, live through the winter as small plants and produce seed the following spring. . Among the most troublesome annual weeds are the foxtails These are grasslike plants that are too common _ to need any -special description. The fact that makes them so difficult to

combat Is their great seed producing capacity. It is not difficult to kill one formal plant, but no sooner is that done th&a another springs up to take Its place. Early fall plowing gets rid of mnny " of these weeds by turning them under before the seed Is ripe. Some of the seed which is ripe will grow up, and the plants will be killed by the i first freezes of winter. If the field is harrowed early In the spring many of the reqialnlng seed can be Induced to start The more weeds that come up ' at this time the better, since they will be killed in the subsequent prepara- 1 Hon of the land for planting. ■ There is no better Implement for i killing weeds before corn comes up i than the harrow. Harrowing is a cheap operation, since so many acres 1 can be gone over in a day. The more 1 times a cornfield can be goue over with the harrow before the corn comes up the better. In harrowing to kill i weeds care should be taken not to do . the work when Che weather 1s cloudy j I or the ground too wet or the weeds i i will be transplanted rather than killed. I In regard to the value of harrowing I growing coffi opinions differ greatly. < It "Is almost impossible, however, to I harrow corn without destroying some of It It Is a waste of time to test the seed and planter with the Idea of getting a good stand and then harrow part of It out. Unless the weeds are very bad the barrovf had better be put away in the machine shed as soon as the corn begins to appear above the surface of the ground. Thorough cultivation from the time the corn Is two or three Inches high until It is ready to "lay by" will do much to keep the weeds In check. The. deep early cultivations will brtng up the seeds that have been lying dormant at the bottom of the furrow slice. These will germinate and be killed by the later cultivations. Foxtall may grow up and go to seed after the crop gets too large to cultivate. It is often a good plan to sow rape in corn at the last cultivation. This will come up quickly and shade the ground so completely that it will prevent the growth of annual weeds almost entirely.

j Annual weeds seldom do much dam- ! age In small grain. If the grain is | drilled In on a properly prepared seed bed It will get such a start that most Of the weeds will be smothered out and die for lack of plant food and light. One annual that Is sometimes troublesome In grain fields Is mustard Since tills weed is easily killed liy cultivation if seldom goes to seed in cornfields. Consequently wlvn small grain follows corn there Is little* mustard seed In the soil except that wbieh ls sown wfrh the onts. There 1» another -nmrtinl. or rather winter annual, that Is much harder t« eradicate than those mentioned so far Thls ls squlrreltnfl grass, so «nl!ed because of Its fazsy heads. The «e«1 - are very light and are uttnclied to Ipnc beards, wblcb Vnnse them to lrcarried for considerable distances by the wind.

. heads appear will not kill the plant, but If kept np throughout the season • will prevent It from producing seed. In bad coses about the only remedy la , to plow up the field am put It in te some cultivated crop. Where a rego- j 8 lor rotation which Includes the mead- , ows and pastures is followed this . weed can be readily kept in check. J Point that must be carefully attended , to In preventing the spread of this as , well as of any other weed Is to ksep j the roadsides and fence corners from raising weed seed enough each year , to keep the entire farm seeded. : Another troublesome annua] In soma sections of the country is the Russian < thistle, a fbrm of tumble weed. By ' rolling across the fields after It ripens > It scatters Its numerous seeds very > widely. These weeds are usually not ' so plentiful but that they can be easily > destroyed by' puffing before they form seed. By doing this they may bo kept 1 from becoming, thick enough to do any ' serious damage. 1 Biennial weeds live through the first winter and produce seed the second 1 year of their life. They die as soon as the seed Is ripe. The common bull and prairie thistle and burdock are conI splcuous examples of this class ol | weeds. Biennials are not difficult to ; subdue, in cultivated fields they selJ dom live long enough to produce seed. They seed so late that they hardly ever ripen seed in meadows. In permanent pastures they may be controlled by cutting off below tbe surface of the ground Just at the beginning of bldfescmlng time. Sbeep And goats will rid a pasture of these and all other troublesome weeds, i The hardest class of weeds to com- | bat are tbe perennials. These do not | depend entirely upon seed production I to spread themselves, but ore propa- ; gated by means of underground ! sterna These stems extend along be- . I neatb the surface of tbe ground, send- : lng up stalks at abort distances. They live In the soil from year to year, sending up fresh shoots every spring. ... Some of the most common and trou-" blesome perennials are tbe Canada thistle, morning glory, wild artichoke, milkweed and quack grass. These weeds are found on all parts of the farm— In cultivated fields. In small grain and in. meadows and pastures. The only, way to kill them is to destroy the roots or starve them by preventing leaf growth. This Is much more easily said than done. Where the weeds occfcr only In small patches the desired result may be accomplished by covering Them with a thick layer of straw. -In b dry season thorough cultivation ■ will discourage them, though it will seldom exterminate them entirely. When the ground ft wet cultivation will do more to spread perennial weeds than to kill them. pieces of the underground stems which stick to the shovels will grow wherever they happen to fall and thus start a new center of trouble. Of all the means of getting rid of ; perennial weeds that have been tried Is so effective as turning tbe field a hog pasture. If the fields are fenced bog tight and the rotation Includes the hog paBtnre tbe bogs will get a chance at all parts of tbe farm

every four years or ao. They are very fond of the roots and stems of perennial weeds, especially those of quack grass and morning glory, and they will continue to root until tbe lost piece Is brought to light And eaten. Where all the fields are not fenced hog tight a temporary pen may be used. This can be moved about over the patches of quack grass and morning glory until they are destroyed. The weed problem Is not nearly so difficult as many people believe. The remedy for weeds is good farming, and when good farming becomes the rule weeds will largely disappear. In a way weeds are more of a benefit than an Injury. If It were not for them we would often be tempted to let the cornfield go a few days longer before cultivating and thus fall to get as large a crop as we might otherwise hare done. It Is the mltiratlon that the presence of the weeds forces upon us that makes plant food avallablo and prevents tbe escape of capillary £ moisture and so enables the plants to Put their best efforts Into producing a maximum yield.
