In the Ceiteel States,
(Contributed by Ontario Dthertmest of •
Agriculture. Toroidal .
As a result of ten years' experi-
ments the following methods are re-
commended by the department or
Botany of tbe Ontario Agricultural
Collegd:
.t.0 of nape to Destroy Perennial Sow
Thistle and Twitch Grass.
Cultivate the field until about. the
middle of June, running (Peer fre-
quenUy with the cultivator /to *4 10
keep the tops down and (bus weaken
the "roots.", Then apply manure at
the rate of about tweuty tons Per
Acre (12 good -loads). Cultivate the
manure In thoroughly, and with a
double mould board plough slightly
ridge up the land, tusklug the ridges
about 21 inches apart. On the ridgei.
sow pasture rape at the rate of 1
pounds per acre. It hi important
that the right amount of thPe be
sown, for If too little is sown the
eland will not be thick enough
smother the weede, and if on the
ether hand too much is sown the
plants will be too crowded and not
grow vigorously enough to keep
ahead of the weeds. Sow tale rape
when the land is sufficiently moist to
Insure quick germination of the seed.
It the rape is slow In starting the
weeds may get • start In the rows
and thus necessitate band cultivation
there. Cultivate the rape every week
or tea days until It occupies all the
ground and makes further cultivation
impossible. IT, when the ripe is cut
or pastured, any weeds remain, the
deld should be ridged up the last
thing In the tall and, put in with •
hoed crop the following year. This
should not be necessary if a good
stand of rape is secured.
Spearing With Iron Sulphate to
Destroy Mustatd In Cereal Crops.
Iron sulphate or copperas can be
successfully used to destroy mustard
in standing Erato without injury to
the crop.
Preparation of Solution.
A 20% solution should be ap-.
piled. This can be prepared by dis-
solving 10 lbs. of Iron sulphate In
40 gallons of water. Iron sulphate ie
dissolved quite readily to cold water.
The solution should be strained
tlirough a cheese cloth. as it Is put
into the spray pump tank. This will
remove dirt and email particles that
are apt to clog the oossles.
Time to Apply. -
Apply, on a calm. clear day Just
es moon es the first few plants in the
fields show dower.. It is very Im-
portant to spray early. If the plants
are lett too long the treatment is not
aearly so effective. If a heavy rain
0040•• within Id hours after the solu-
tion is applied, It will be necessary
to spray again.
Mow to Apply the Solon/the
An ordinary hand pump barrel
sprayer, such as is employed to spray
fruit tress may be used, or • potato
sprayer eau be rigged up to do the
work. Many of the up-to-date spray-
ers hath a special broadcast attach-
ment for spraying weeds. These are
excellent tor large •reaa, as they
cover a wide strip at each round.
Care must be taknn to see that every
mustard plant Is covered with the
solution In tbe form of • fine &VW.
Iron sulphate may be obtained at any
hardware store. ---J. Howitt 0. A.
