Witch gross or quack gross (Agro pyron rcpons) Is oiro of the worst woods, by many deemed the worst, found In Vermont tillago areas. Tint combat therewith Is dlillcult, but nut Impossible. It la costly, but less so than to permit tho unrestricted growth of tho weed. Tho Vermont agricul tural experiment station learned that a Windsor county farmer had suc ceeded In practically eradicating It from his farm by tho employment of a cpoclnl system of soli tillage br cul tivation which was essentially the product of his own observations. A season's work by the station resulted In almost annihilating the pest on the trial plots and In producing enough corn over and nbovo that grown on the untreated areas to pay In Borne cases the entlro cost of the extra la bor Involved. The complete eradica tion of the weed often Involves two successive seasons' work, the second of which is of tho samo character as the JkI OOO D VOn KILLIN'0 WBEUH.

The following Is a summary of the methods pursued: Itldglug the rows Just before the corn sprouts, using a disk hoe or any other tool which makes a ridge over the row. Cultivating three days luter with a tfvo toothed cultivator or a heavy two horso hoe, carrying side hoes, such as potato hilling hoes turned backward (see the cut), drawing the soil away from the Bldo3 of the ridges previous ly inado so that the subsequent har rowing can more effectively level them. Harrowing or weeding (preferably tho former) the samo duy. Cultivating twice thoroughly a week or ten days later. Weeding the same day, still further leveling the ridges uud Improving the soil mulch. , Cultivating thoroughly nnd shullow every week or ten days thereafter, ho long as It can bo doue without Injur ing tho crop, tbo oftener the better. Hand hoeing In mid-July. PARSNIPS IN COLD WEATHER. Let Them Remain In the Bed During Winter and Freeie. Parsnips require no attention what ever during the winter. In fact, best results are obtulued by leaving them tu the bed during the winter and allow ing them to freeze. The grouud should bo cleared of weeds in the fall. After tho last hurd freeze throw a few forkfuls of straw over the tops and leave till tho ground thaws out in tho spring. Tho mulch prevents freez ing nnd thawing If the winter is an open one. Where the roots are desired during tho winter they should be dug or pulled und stored in the vegetable cellur.

Many Uiea Found For Thla Type of Motor Driven Vehlole. Although tho ordinary tonncau type of automobile is rapidly coming Into general use on the farm and has proved its value for servleo as well ns pleas ure, there Is one form of recent de velopment, tho auto truck, that has not received from farmers tho atten tion it descrres, says the Farm and Ranch. This form of car is rapidly earning u placo for Itself In the cities ns u general delivery and hauling wagon and is destined to become ns widely and favorably known on tbo farm, for it is an ideal general pur poso car and has many advantages that recommend it for everyday farm use. A car in daily uso on a COO aero Matagorda county (Tex.) farm is a light auto truck that has proved Itself to be one of the most useful pieces of equipment on the farm. The car In question is a two cylinder, twenty-two horsepower model, with engine nnd working parts Identical in all respects with thoso of the usual tonncau type. Tho tonncau, however, Is replaced by an express wagon body about 7 feet 4 Photo by Long Island agricultural experi ment station. NUNNINCI A FARM AUTO TRUCK. by 4, and fitted in this way the car will carry loads of up to a ton in weight over the average country dirt road at a speed of from three to twen ty miles an hour. Its added hauling capacity in no way Interferes with Its use as n pleasure car, as it can bo very easily converted by the addition of n couple of surrey seats built to fit on to the body and which can be put on or taken off In a moment llko tho ordinary hack seat. So rigged tho truck can enrry six or eight persons comfortably, covering as much ground lu n day's run as the average road car. The truck is used for all the hauling vxcept the very heaviest, and the work Is done so much more rapidly than by team that there Is a very marked sav ing in time, than which no other item on u farm runs more quickly Into mon ey. In addition to the direct saving in time an important feature in the use of the motor Is the fact that in busy seasons all of the mules cau be used exclusively for field work and there Is no necessity for breaking Into the reg ular plowlug, cultivating or harvesting outflts just when they are most need ed lu order to get teams to do the va rious hauling Jobs that are always coming up at such inconvenient times or to make unavoidable trips to town for freight, supplies, repair parts, etc. Make Every Straw Count, It Is possible for careless help to leave a considerable portion df the grain crop In the field by neglecting to gather up scntterlngs, loose bundles, etc., nnd by hauling grain on open bottom racks. From a few pounds to a few bushels of grain may be saved every day, during stacking, by using a tight bottom rack or a can vas over the rack that will catch all of tho gruln that is shattered out' of tho heads.
