IX. Weeds and How to Combat Them

N attempting to produce larre
crops the farmer Duds that he
has many enemies
working j
against him. Among the wont
of these are weeds. One of the great
est problems that confront the farm
er is that of keeping bis cto free

weeds to K''U-e this food aud moisture
and coii vert them into a worthless
product.
Weeds may be divided iuto three
general classes annuals, biennials and
l ...-ii... nutttint KcCua a. c -r -
gated entirely by seeds and live but
cue year. An exception to this is
found in the winter annuals, which
come up In the fall, lire through the
J winter as small plants and produce
seed the following spring,
j Among the most troublesome annual
weeds are the foxtails. These are
i grasslike plants that are too common
! to need any special description. The
fact that makes them
difficult to
FIQ. XVTI A BUSS IAS THISTLE,
combat is their great seed producing
capacity. It is not difficult to kill one
formnl nlant. hut no snnnpr la flint
done than another Bnrlugs ui to take
jta paCe.
Early fall plowing gets rid of mr.ny
of these weeds by turning them un
der before the seed is ripe. Some of
the seed which is ripe will grow up,
and the plants will be killed by the
first freezes of whiter. If the field is
harrowed early in the spring many of
the remaining seed can be induced to
start The more weeds that come up
nt this time the better, since they will
be killed in the subsequent prepara
tion of the land for planting.
There is no better implement for
killing weeds before corn comes up
than the harrow. Ban-owing is a
cheap operation, since so many acres
can be gone over In a day. The more
times a cornfield can be gone over
with the harrow before the corn comes
up the better. In harrowing to kill
weeds care should be taken not to do
! the work when the weather Is cloudy
or the ground too wet, or the weeds
will be transplanted rather than killed.
In regard to the value of harrowing
growing corn opinions differ greatly.
It is almost impossible, however, to
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 barrow
part of It out Unless the weeds are
very bad the barrow bad better be
put away in the machine shed ns 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
I deep early cultivations will bring up
, the seeds that have byen lying dor
mant at the bottom of the furrow
' slice. These will germinate and be
; killed by the later cultivations. Fox
' tall may grow up and go to seed after
. the crop gets too lante to cultivate.
It Is often a good plan to sow rape In
corn at the last cultivation. This will
; come up quickly and Rhnde the ground
' so completely that It will prevent the
growth of annual weeds almost en
tirely. Annual weeds seldom do much dam
age in small grain. If the grain is
drilled in on a properly prepared seed
i 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 gralnfields is mustard.
Since this weed Is easily killed by
cultivation it seldom goes to seed
In cornfields. Consequently when
' small grain follows corn there is little
mustard seed in the soli except that
which Is sown with the oats.
There Is another annual, or rather
winter annual, that Is much harder to
, eradiate than those mentioned so far.
, This is squirreltall grass, so called be
cause of its fuzzy beads. The seeds
: are very ll-ht and are attached to
: Ions beards, which cause them to be
; carried for considerable distances by
j the wind.
Squirreltall grass Is not troublesome
j in cultivated fields, bat often ln
: fests meadows and pastures to such
j nn extent as to make them almost
worthless. Mowing as soon as the
80
11 W5 1
bends nppenr will not kill the plant,
but if kept up throughout the season
will prevent it from producing need.
In bad cases nliout the only remedy is
to plow no the field and put it in to
some cultivated crop. Where a reiru-;
lur rotation -which includes the me:id- j
ows and pastures is followed this

well as of any other weed is to keep
the roadsides nud fence corners from
raising weed seed enough eavh year
to keep the eutire farm seeded.
Another troublesome annual in some
sections of the country Is the Russian
thistle, a form of tumbleweed. By
rolling across the fields after it ripens
It scatters its numerous seeds very
widely. Those weeds are usually not below its average level. The great

Biennial weeds live through the first
winter and produce seed the second
year of their life. They die ns soon ns
the seed is rljie. The common bull nud
I prairie thistle nud burdock are con-
splcuous examples of this class of
weeds. Biennials are not difficult to
subdue. In cultivated fields they sol-
J dom live long enough to produce seed.
They seed so late that they hardly
ever ripen seed iu meadows. In jht
manent pastures they may be con
trolled by cutting off below the sur
face of the ground Just nt the begin
ning of blossoming time. Sheep and
goats will rid a pnsture of these and
all other troublesome weeds.
The hardest class of weeds to com
bat are the perennials. These du not
depend entirely upon seed production
to spread themselves, but are propa
gated by means of underground
stems. These stems extend along be
neath the surface of the ground, send
ing up stalks at short distances. They
live In the soil from yenr to year, send
ing up fresh shoots every spring.
Some of the most common nud trou-
! blesome
ncrcnnlals are the 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 de
stroy the roots or starve them by pre
venting leaf growth. This Is much
more easily snld than done. Where
the weeds occur only in small patches
the desired result may be accomplished
by covering them with a thick layer i
of straw. In a dry season thorough j
cultivation will discourage them. I
though it will seldom exterminate 1
them entirely. When the ground Is j
wet cultivation will do more to spread I
pereuulul weeds than to kill them.
The pieces of the underground stems j
which stick -to the shovels will grow ,
wherever they happen to fall and thus j
start a new center of trouble. I
Of all the means of getting rid of
perennial weeds that hnve been tried
none is so effective as turning the field
into a hog pasture. If the fields are
fenced hog tiht nnd the rotation in
cludes the hog pasture the hogs will

every four years or so. They nre very
fond of the roots nnd stems of peren
nial weeds, especially those of quack
grass and uioruing glory, and they
will continue to root until the last
piece Is brought to light and eaten.

the patches of quack grass and morn-1

The weed problem Is not nearly so !
difficult ns many people believe. The j
remedy for weeds Is good farming, j
and when good farming becomes the !
rule weeds will largely disappear. In I
a way weeds are more of a benefit
tuuu nu utjuij. n ii were not lor
them we would often be tempted to
let the coreaeld go a few days longer
before cultivating snd thus fail to get
as large a crop as we might otherwise
have dope. It Is the cultivation that
the presence of the weeds forces upon
ns that makes plant food available
and prevents the escape of capillary
mo'iture and so enables the plants to
pm their best efforts Into producing a
maximum yield.
