WEEDS After Harvest Cultivation Cheap and Effective Method of Control Says John D. MacLeod. After harvest cultivation is one of the cheapest, most practical and ef­ fective methods of eradicating weeds, says John D. MacLeod, Crops and Weeds Branch, Ont, Dept, of Agricul­ ture, Toronto. Weeds at their weakest stage right now, and this is the time to put the finishing touch on them. Weeds have to be fought accord­ ing to the nature of their growth. To control “annuals,” shallow plo-vving, discing or cultivation is recommended. By following this plan, seeds are not buried too deeply and are brought to the surface where air, heat and moist- ling plants, lhe use of the one way disc or tiller combine is specially rec­ ommended for control of annual weeds by Mr. MacLeod. Deep plowing with a sharp share is needed for control of biennial or perennial weeds with deep tap roots,, such as Chicory, Bladder Campion, and Wild Carrot. This must be fol­ lowed by thorough cultivation using wide shares which overlap in order to cut off and bring to the surface any roots which may remain. The disc harrow is not so effective with these weeds. Fields containing weeds with under­ ground root stocks such as Perennial Sow Thitsle, Field Bindweed and Twitch Grass, should be plowed deep enough to get under the roots. This, will require very deep plowing for Sow Thistle and Bindweed and shal­ lower plowing for Twitch. The field ^hoMd be left in the rough stage as long as dry wearther prevails, to dry out the root stocks. No green growth should be permitted when fighting per­ ennials, so keep the cultivator busy. Remember, patches of perennials should be worked separately to avoid infesting clean parts of the field. All root stocks should be removed from, implements after the job has been completed.
