Winter dormancy is broken by the various weeds in °Mnany ways, according as they are annual, biennial or perennial in life duration.. - Ordinarily au annual is a, weed that germinates In spring, grows and reproduces before winter, and then dies or is killed by frost, leaving its seed progeny to, perpetuate it, After harvest cultivation helps ex- cept, for example, when a weed like wild oats refuses to be tempted to grow until after a period of rest. Fall ploughing, drainage, ridging up for winter and promptly harrowing all bare fields in spring all tend to start and dispose of annuals. Lightly harrowing spring grain not seeded to grass may still destroy annual must- ards, Russian thistle, and other weeds of that kind. Hoed crops can also be Useful. Winter annuals differ in surviving the winter as seedlings, and may in- clude some annuals favorably situat- ed. With root systems developed they are ready to outstrip spring opera- tions and are soon too sturdy for easy up -rooting. They are early in bloom, stinkweedand shepherd's purse even going into the winter flowering at aninch or two in height. Biennials start growth. early en- ough' to provide themselves with a stout reserve tap -root, and a shelter- grow up awhile." ing rosette of leaves on the ground for the winter. Unless destroyed as seedlings in the fall, biennial weeds may have to be spudded or hand- pulled when the ground is soft the. next year. Perennial weeds, while also propa- gating by seed, maintain themselves chiefly by their root systems. No simple operation in fall or spring will suffice to kill the average perennial; it is usually best to let them spend themselves in preparation for seed production and then by timely cut- ting of hay or grain prevent this. Ploughing before the plant can re- plenish its lost stores and then keep- ing it starved underground by cultiv- ation is a good general rule, although dragging out to dry in the sun, or bodily removal, is an alternative for weeds like couch grass and dock. For general principles of weed control, and for descriptions and illustrations of the more common weeds, the bulletin "Weeds and Weed Seeds," which can be obtained from Dominion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, will be helpful. For informa- tion on recent experimental findings and how to identify unfamiliar weeds and particulars about their spread and 'habits, write to the Central Ex- perimental Farm, Ottawa. "I -low may one obtain a good pos- ture?" read one of the 'questions in. the examination. One of the students, a country lad, wrote: "Keep the cows off and let it Duplicate Monthly Stat.' !newts Wk.
