Destroying Quack Grass.
Getting rid of quack grass by cleat)
cultivating is an old story to Ontario
farmers, but getting rid of it with-
out losing a crop is •mmewhat uncom-
mon.
A Wisennein farmer nccomplished
it so successfully in 1917 that not one.
of the fanners who visited his field
recently could find a blade of the.;
grass.
After the. hay was off last year, the
field was plowed. Instead of plowing'
deep, which would leave enotigh ,oil'
on the roots that they might grow;
again, the plow was set shallow. This 't
cut the roots close to the surfeve and
exposed them to the hot sun of late'
summer,. The field was plowed with
a tractor three times, harrowed sev-;'
eral times --lin fart, worked thorough-'
ly all the rest of the fall.
In the spring, the ground was again
worked well and the field wrns planted,
to potatoes. \Ulnen the potatoes•
were inspected by a group or femora, •
not ono sign of quaelc grass tvns
found, nithnugh the owner made no
claim to completely destroying- the
pest.
