The Chief Weeds in Clover and
Timothy.
The Herald wishes its
readers t1 merry Xmas and
a Happy =�; ew Year, andtrtl is that the year 1.904 xray
be evenmore prosperous
with thein then the year '03
which i:• now fast nearing
its close.
The spread' of noxious weeds can
be attributed to no single cause.
They seem to be naturally adopted
to rapid spreading, and besides
there are various natural and. arti-
fioial agencies which aid in their
dissemination. • Not the least im-
portant anion; • these agencies is
the seed grain trade. Almost
every fanner purchases yearly seed
of grain or grasses and clovers with
thought of introducing weed seeds
in this way. As a matter of fact
however, he seldom gets seed per-
fectly free from weed seeds of some
kind. Oeeassionttlly these are not
particularly injurious, but not fre-
quently they are most undesirable,
and being introduced unconsciously
gain a strong foothold befogo their -
presence is suspected. In this con-
nection some particulars of the
analysis of seeds from the Depart-
ment of Agriculture at Ottawa
should be of interest as they show
to what extent these conditions
prevail
()Eover I:wo hundred. samples of
Timothy analysed during 1:103 only
four had no weed seeds in thorn ;
in the others over thirty different
kinds of weed seeds %ere repre-
sented. (.)f these Cinquefoil, Pep-

Dodder was present in twelve

rate of 418 seeds per poun8. ; this is
cansidrrablo more than the cage tL

more seed being imported from the
