TWITCH ou (notion GRA99.-W a referred fn a recent issue to tbe faot that John MoTaggart, 15th con., had Bent a sample weed found on his farm to the Biological Department of the Ontario Agl. College, Guelph, for identifiontion. Here is the reply whioh speaks for itself DEAR Snt,-Your epeoimen and letter of the 14th inst, has been reoeived. In the abeenae of Prof. Loobhead, I beg to say that the weed which you sent is what ie commonly known ae Twitch Gran or (Meets Grace (Agropyrum repents), Yon are most probably aware of the tacit that thie is one of our worst weeds, owing to the foot that its creeping root•etalks are capable of propagating it and thereby rendering its eradication difficult. I would advise you to plow every shallow some time is August during a dry spell ; then follow with the cultivator ; and tin. mediately atter with the horse rake, raking up and burning as many of the root•etelkeaspossible, Repeat the raking once or twice. Late in the Fell rib up the land as you would for turnips in drills. Leave it in ,this condition over Winter and yon will probably find, if the Winter le et all severe, that the majority of the remaining roots have, been killed with the front. Next year I would advise you to For tbleCkindow nine b purpose rape sown indrille /atoed e in June i0 probably of most service. Thin crop appears to poseeee a peculiar, faculty of smothering ont Twitoh gran. After treating in the above manner, I have little dqubt bet that the greater part of the post will have been killed, Ye are truly, A, W. DonEarr.' Gnelph, Jnly 18th.
