Harvest All Seed.

Tho chemicals, used nt tho rato of

When there Is only n small nunntlty

Susceptibility of Ftoot-Stocke to Win

(Prepared by itie United Btotea Depirt'

Ilermudn grass Is ouo of tho most
valiinblo as well as tho most trouble
some grasses of the Southern h tales.
This vigorous growing perennial
spreads rapidly, making n thick sod
which Is well suited for pastures and
Inwns. Tho siimo characteristics that
mnko It so valuable nlsoTender It ono
of the principal weeds tho eradication
of which Is essential to tho successful1
growing of Intertilled crops. Tho plant
has certain natural weaknesses, such
ns Us Innblllty to withstand shndo nnd
susceptibility of the root-stocks to win
terkllllng, which can easily bo made
use of In Its eradication.
Tlio most widely practiced and suc
cessful control' measures, especially In
the Southwestern states. Is n combined
attack upon these two weak points by
ulternatlng u summer shndo crop, such
as velvet beans and cowpeas, with In
tortllled crops, such as com and cot
ton, keeping tho soil occupied with
growing oats or rye, with or without
vetch, during tho winter.
Hogs nro also useful In eradicating
this grass. They nro fond of tho root
stocks, nnd they will ho aided grently
In tho good work If tho land-Is 11 rat
plowed. A good system Is to grnzo tho
land n n entlro season, contlnuo tho
grnzlng tho following season until mid
summer, then plow shallow to cxposo
tho root-stocks to tho drying nctlon of
tho sun mid tho persistent rooting of
tho hogs.
Ilormudn grass was nt ono time
looked upon solely as n post, but In

valuable for pasture, hay and lawn
purposes, tho plant has been widely
utilized throughout the cotton belrTlnd
