M. B.; Will you please tell me if

cut and fed to stock, will come up
where the raaeure is spread? This
lield ha* been seeded to alfalfa for five
years and I never saw wild oats there
until last year. do not know where
Answer: I do not think that wild
oats cut green and fed to horses will
spread. Vital seeds that have gone
through the digestive tract of animals
are unknown as far as I know. Be

sure, however, that the wild .oets are
f earned.
