well maintained. Yields are low-

Perennial Weed Control
When the infestation of peren-
nial yeeds has spread over a large
area, cultural and cropping meth-
ods have to ire relied upon tor
their eradtleation. It is advisable
however, to use sodium chlorate
for the eradication or small patches
of perennials.
The latter half of the growls
season is a good time to make an
attack on petenn0al weeds. 'There
is not quite the same rush of work
then, as In the spring of tha yeal.
and the weather is nst1a,iy more
favourable, particularly mien
grass. The roots of this weed are
killed by a few days' exposure
during dry warm weather and
since couch guasta is a allalloly-
rooted weed, a large percoatagc
of 115 roots can be brought to the
surface by cultivation.
Another advantage in favour of
killing weeds in the latter half of
the growing season, is that it per
mils the growth of an early crop
such as hay or oats cut for g' -en
reed, before the treatment cam•
