..THE COST OF WEEDS
.The importance of keeping weeds
in' subjection - cannot; be emphasized
too strongly, i It Is ;idiff icutt to es
timate the damage they" do,'' but it
Is probable that they cost the Amer
ican farmer several hundred million
dollars, every year. In a sense,
farming might be : called a welfare
against weeds. t Some farmers em
erge from - the ' struggle victorious,
while others go down to defeat. . So
powerful are weed enimies in reduc
ing crop ' yields, that the farmer
should at every turn, strengthen his
position) against them: . Bear, these
invaders in mind in planning tffe crop
and in deciding on the fields to grow
these crops, in choosing the imple
ments, in buying seed, and in many
other farm activities. Lack of care
ful planning with reference to veeds
is apparent in nearly every commu
nity. ;; ! -:::::. '
It has been shown in experiments
with corn made by the United states
Department of Agriculture that weed
eradication is the principle, if not
tho only, ' beneficial result of culti
vating this : crop after planting.
This means that in cultivating the
'corn crop the implements usetd
should 'be designed primarily ffor
accomplishing the destruction of
weeds- in the easiest' and cheapest
i way. It seems . to indicate further,
that as weed control becomes more
tharaugh, intercultural tillage of
ing crops may be accordingly de
creased. While there are various definitions
a weed may be said to be a wildjalant
that has a habit of intruding where
it is not wanted. Some weeds pro
duce immense quantities of seeds.
Some mature seeds in a . very short
time. Some have seeds difficult to
separate from seed crops. Some
have roots 'or rootstalks that live for
a number of years. They persist be
cause well equipped by nature to
hold ' their . own. Weeds, however,
are not always useless. Sometimes
they are principle means by which
prganis matter is restored" to the soil
and, generally speaking, a soil is
productive in porportion to the quan
tity of organic matter it contains.
Turning farm land out to rest mere
ly means , that weeds are permitted
to grow on it for several years.
Weds are also useful at times in
preventing soil erosion, especially
during the winter months, and serve
ve a useful purpose in collecting and
holding the nitrates and other solu
ble salts during period r when crops
are now Deing grown, thus prevent
ing these valuable nutrients from
being washed out of the soil. Ordin
arily, however, all these benefits may
be realized through proper rotations,
in which case it is a serious mistake,
to allow weeds to grow.
The full reason why weeds reduce
yields is not definitely known. It is
well recognized that weeds deprive
crops of moisture, plant food, and
sunlight, and by these means cause
decreased yields. Experiments have
shown, however, that even where
there is a supply of moisture and
plant food sufficient for the need of
both the weeds'and the crop, weeds
still exert a detrimental effect. This
may be due in part to the weed roots
giving off substances which are
poisonous to crops. The fact that
weeds do harm in more ways than
has been supposed is all the more
reason why -farmers should destroy
these invaders. Land that should
produce 60 bushels of corn may yield
no more than 20 bushel if weeds
are not kept down by adequate culti
vation. Wheat containing wild
onion bulblets is sometimes docked
as much as 50 per cent, and in some
cases there is no sale for such wheat
The agricultural experiment station
of Minnesota estimates that in that
state alone the damage to wheat due
to weed seed amounts to two and a
half million dollars yearly.
It is possible for a farmer especial
ly if he follows a good rotation,' to
clear his farm of weeds, but quits
too soon. Often the campaign is
stopped when success is in sight;
but the weeds soon recover. Clear
ing a farm of weeds, especially per
ennials, is no easy ysk; it requires
more than average intelligence and
perseverence. If, however, one out
lines a plan of attack and faithfully
sees this plan through to a finish, he
can practically rid his farm of
weeds without a great amount of
labor and expense.
