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.
