looking Up Silo Prospects
WHEN ONCE ESTABLISHED
Field bindweed, decidedly the
most dangerous weed in Kansas, is
getting a good start in parts of Ore
gon, especially in the dry farming
wheat districts where the summer
fallow gives it just the chance it
needs to spread and establish it
self. Seed of this weed pest is pre
sent In samples from different parts
of the state, which reach the seed
testing laboratory at the agricultur
al college.
In addition to it being a most
dangerous weed. Mrs. E. G. Harking,
in charge of the seed testing labor-
atory at the Kansas Agricultural
college, says that a small patch,
unless controlled. can overrun the
whole farm in 10 or 15 years, mak
ing it agriculturally worthless. *
Clean summer cultivation is the
best method of control. Great care
must be taken not to drag broken
root stocks into uninfested areas,
or they will spread the plant more
rapidly.
Mr. Skirving, auditor and sales
man for the Tum-A-Lum Lumber
Co., accompanied by Mr. Brownson,
local manager of that concern, made
a trip the fore part of the > week
through the project in the interest
of the Tum-A-Lum silo. They ro
port the outlook bright for the erec
tion of several silos here in the fall
as the acreage in corn is increasing
each year.
