riaisy, and the tendency in the trade t.ow11rds a demand for plnntain-free seed, Growers who desire the high- est prices for their seed must either clean their weedy madows or sow clean bent seed on clean land.

There are several means of keep-

ing weeds in check on bent grass mcnd1;ws. ' Heavy pasturing with sheep every second season. or light pasturlng every season. give fairly good results. In New Zealand, special grassland harrows. which hold with- out bouncing. are used on the close- ly-grazed pasture in early autumn or just as growth starts in early spring; and where tho soil is poor, the harrowing is accompanied by a light application of commercial fer- tilizer-about 'I5 lbs. sulphate of am- monia, 150 lbs. aupn-phosphate, and 50 lbs. murlatecf pctqgh pq- gm-gg Bent ax-uses will stand severe har- _ rowing, if followed by a heavy 1-pug; and a shower cf rain.

When the spring growth be. tween the furrows has assumed the appearance Ot a colt’s mane. the furrow ridges are harrowed flown lightly to smooth the surface and to mulch but not smother the gi-ass, and commercial fertilizzer is ap- plied as indicated in the preceding paragraph. The potash may be oin- mitted, except on light sandy` soils which are frequently deficient in this plant food material. The acid reaction of sulphate of ammonia and superphosphato tends to keep some of tho weds in check, winie these plant foods encourage bent grass and make it better able to combat weeds.

Old meadows which are badly in-

fected with weeds should be closely grazed this spring, surn_mer-plowed and cultivated throughout the aut- umn to destroy weed growth. A cleaning crop such as buckwheat. rape or potatoes. might be grown with fertilizer next year, and bent could be seeded with oats as a. nurse crop in 1931. Fairly clean fields could be seeded with oats in'i930. with application of fertilizer-about 100 lbs. sulphate of ammonia. 250 lbs. of superphosphate and '75 lbs. muriate of potash. Only Grade. N0. 1 of bent as free as possible from common plnntain and mouse-var chickweed. and well-cleaned oats, should be used in seeding. N0i more than three bushels of banner oats and about five pounds of Brownwp is s suitable rate of seed- ing per acre. The Browntop bein! very fine seed requires only a veri' thin covering oi’ soil, not more than a shallow stirring, with a light har- row, and rolling to compact the soil around the seed. _Velvet .Bcnt requires the same treatment as Browntop/ but the seed being still finer and more expensive. two pounds of Grade No. 1 is a B004 rate per acre. Even distributions of this small quantity can be obtained by suing a blowing machine, or by mixing the seed with fine dri' #Oil or road-dust and brouicestiris bi' hand.
