Dr. George D. fk srseth, director of the American Farm Research Bureau, claims In the magazine that weeds have their good points as well as bad. Discussing the weed question In the matter of grow corn, he lists their bad potnui us follows, In addition to the fact that It costs money to get rid of them: I. Weeds rob corn of nutrients, especially nitrogen. 2. They shade the corn plants when weeds grow too high. 1. jncy cause a lor, 01 important. corn roots to be cut off by culti vation. 4. They pump water out of the soil, robbing the corn plants. f Some weeds may take over and get out of control. These are all solid reasons for clean cultivation, chemical sprey- Ing and burning to control weeds. But Dr. Hcaraetn says mere are Hort Group Sets Meet Oregon's senior farm organiza tion, the Oregon Slate Horticultural society, will hold Its sixty-seventh annual meeting at Oregon state college November 20 and 21, soci ety president Tom Ilarper. Junction City, has announced. Carl Robertson, head, of the Eugene Fruit Growers Inc. field department, will serve as chairman of the program committee assisted by Dan Young, Eugene. Former President Ward Bpati, Medlord. has agreed to assume responsibility for engaging nationally known Industry spokesman to be featured speaker. As a preliminary measure before lining up a slate of program speak ers, the society membership has been canvassed with a request for suggestions. More than 160 have been received, according to Harper. The society, will hear a report from a nine-man committee headed by Walter Bailey, The Dalles, which Is studying the possibility ot establishing a research and schol arship committee. Its purpose would be simed toward furtherance of the Industry. many Important things which should not be lost by destroying weeds: 2. They are often vigorous feed ers and may absorb nutrients that are unavailable to corn. 3. They protect soil from erosion and teacning. 4. Some weeds can punch holes Into tight subsoil and Improve tutn. 6. They may have some benefi cial effect on certain pests, sucn as nematodes With regard to robbing the soil of nutrients, Dr. Bcarseth says Its profitable to add extra nutrients to overcome what Ihe weeds use. In an experiment he used 178 pounds of nitrogen per acre balanced with phosphate and potash to make a 12f-bushel corn crop on a very low fertility soil and It look about 50 pounds of nitrogen to feed the weed Thus, the weeds used 17 worth of nitrogen per acre, but Dr. Bcarseth felt, the cost waa Justified. To prevent weeds from shading corn, he advises starter fertilisers with complete nutrients to get corn off to a fast start. Borne weeds, especially tall ones, ire bad robbers of moisture, but where they form a shade ovct the surface or produce a mulch to cool the soil, they may actually help by conserving moisture. Cutting down on cultivations saves time and money and reduces tractor compacting of the soil. I COMFOIT COSTS SO LITTLE WIT! mrm system WHAT IS TIE MYSTEIT OF TIE TWIH GBILLES?
