Wild mustard is easily the king of all noxious weeks, and how to destroy it has long been a a vexed questicei., The mystery has at last been solved. Pref. Doherty, of the Ontario Agri- cultural College, recenbly made an ex- periment, choosing a plot of a quartet' of an acre badly infested with the mus - tar .- This he sprayed. with a two per cent solution of sulphate of copper. The.. result was entirely satisfactory. The mustard was lolled and the ewe was not at all Injured. Being an annual the mustard destroyed at this Season of the year is destroyed forever. It is ' estimated that ten cents worth of this cheadeal will spray an acre. If this test indicates an easy and effective method for the eradication of wild mustard, Prof Doherty has eertairily sworn pl isheal great things for the farm- ing community.
