SEED Oil FARMS Farmers Should Ever Be on the Alert for Appearance of New Pernicious Plants. INTRODUCED IN MANY WAYS Important Point Regarding Control If to Oettroy All Wood Before They Have Gained H4way and Prevent Spread. tTroaa the Unlud tatea Department of Aartcuitura.) , No matter how careful a man may be in preventing weed! from going to aeed on hi land, most of bis work will be for nothing If he permits seeds to be constantly brought to his farm from the outside. Another Important point regarding weed control la to de stroy pernicious weeds before thny have irulm-d sufficient headway to do aerlons damage. Farmers should ever bo on the alert for the appearance of Dew weeds which are being Introduced and for old weeds which are develop ing noxious tendencies. When a plant show any tendency toward becoming a troublesome weed It should be called to the attention of someone In au thority and every effort made to keep It under control. Weed may be brought to the farm In various ways. The principal source of Introduction Is through seeds. Introducing Weed Seed In Crop Seeds. , Mnnv of the purchased grain, clover and gratis seeds contain weed seeds a Impnrltlex. How can the fanner jmrchiiKp clean seed? In no perma nent way will the quality of seed of fered for stile be greatly Improved ex cept by greater knowledge and al rt nens on the part of the consnnier. Firftt, tlie fanner should know what conKtltiyes good seed; second, be fliould know fairly closely what high trade seed Is worth; and, third, lis should be willing to pay a fair price for It. Laxity on one or more of theae points Is responsible for most of the farmer's trouble 7er poor seeds. Seedfcmen say that they are forced to carry ' poor seeds In stork because many farmers will not pay for the bet ter grades. Cheap seeds are really the nvwt expensive kind that can be purchased. In Improving his knowledge of what constitutes good seeds, the farmer will And the advice of the state agricultu ral experiment stations and the United Ktntes department of agriculture of great assistance. These instltotlons glndly test samples of seeds for farm ers free of charge. That test will show whether there are any weed seeds or other Impurities present and the per centage of germination of the crop reed. In purchasing seed of alfalfa and clover the most Important point to consider Is the presence of dodder seed. Clover seed should also bo ex amined for seeds of the plantains. Introducing Weed 8eed In Stock Feeds. Some kinds of stock feed are free of weed seeds, while others are not. Cottonseed meal, oil meat, brewers and distillers' grains, corn bran, mid dlings and the gluten feeds are prac tically free of weed seeds; but mo- Characteristic Root Growth of Canada Thistle, a Permanent Weed. lasses feeds, oat Chop, wheat bran and the mixed feeds are apt to contain more or less seeds of various weeds. This Is espectully true of that class of mixed feeds made from mill by-products, for the reason that such by products are partly composed of screenings. These screenings contain weed seeds resulting from the clean ing of grain. Some firms grind or beat the screenings that go Into mixed feeds, and in such cases the percen tage of live weed seed Is very low. Introducing Weed Seeds In Manure. Nearly all purchased uanure Is full of weed seeds. If It Is hauled to the farm when fresh many thousands of weed seeds are Introduced, so that the farmer Is storing up future trouble for himself. . As this manure usually has to be removed from the town In the fresh state, the only chance to com post It In order to make the weed seeds rot la after It reaches the farm. It has been found that the weed seeds In manure piles rot quickly under ordi nary conditions, so that practically all pf them have lost their vitality In two months.
