Mr. Boeen’s beat looking piece of winter wheat is on the land that produced this corn last year. He has no summer fallow this year,and intends to grow 150 acres of corn next year. He intends also to get a corn binder, which will enable him to cut and bind 10 acree per day. A number of Sherman county farmers are growing field peas suc cessfully, using the same for hay or hog feed, the latter being turned in when the peas become too hard for cooking purpose«. Peas would be a profitable crop to raise for the seed market. During his study of wheat grow ing in the Columbia basin last year Mr. Hunter gave the weed problem considerable attention. Sherman county lias two very noxious weeds: Russian th stle and tumble must ard. The latter grows by a single stalk, has a bushy top with yellow flower. Between Grass valley and Moro this weed is plentiful. The owner of one field mowed an area of land that was badly infested with the weed, thinking, perhaps that he ,could destroy it, in that way. These feat weeds have now dried up and are blowing over the country. „ Mr. Hunter says that an examination of the seed shows that they are quite well matured, and that little has been accomplished by mowing the field. In order to prevent this weed from seeding the country at this date, Mr. Hunter says it is nec essary to cut the plants and pile and burn them, for it is so far ad vanced that much of the seed ma tures. The weed law should be thoroughly inforced in thia county, regarding these weeds, for in many localites in Eastern Washington they were so bad last year that the grain could not be harvested, and thia year it will be worse than it waa last. There is no necessity for multi plying w*>rds upon this topic, pru dent peopltfwill be governed by tbe advjce given by Tbe Observer last last week, and those of the don’t care stripe should be pinched.
