It appears to be as hardy as the ordinary Norway Maple, and will figure largely in shade tree planting as ‘it becomes more known, for it is unrivalled in coloring.

WEEDS ON LAWNS

Townsfolk are justly prolld oi their lawns, but some like myself are troubled with three principal weeds, the dandelion, the plantain, and the July-flower. Onc might ‘spud’ them out, but in some cases that would be like the labours oi the mythological Sisyphus. However, I am indebted to’ Prof. J. A. Clark. for the information that. to lighten my labor, I may make a solution oi copper sulphate. 1 lb to 5_ gallons oi water, ‘and spray the lawn with it. It will destroy the broad-leaved plants, and will not kill the grass. _

Copper Sul-phate will corrode met- als, so should be first dissolved in 110i. water inta china, enamel, or woodcn vessel. and added to the water in the watering-can. ' The watering-can should after using be thoroughly washed out with clean water.

[Farming “"4 Agriculture] :-: Special) Features

Early Hay Making

John M. F. MncKensle, Dominion Esperimental Station. Fredericton, N. B. When forage is cut early the hay is more dlgsstible, contains a higher percentage of‘ proteins and is more palatable than if it is allowed to ripen before cutling. _ This is especially true of legumes because the leaves which are not only the most digesdble but are also the part oi the plant which has the high- est percentage of protein either drop oi or become so brittle when the plans are mature that 1.‘. is prac- ‘ticaly impossible to prevent their breaking off when the hay is being cured. When legumes are cut green however, the leaves are tough, and if the weather is favorable and they are not unduly exposed to the sun, only n very small pcrccmage of leaves will be lost in the drying. At the Fredericton Experimental Station it has been found difficult to save the leaves of red clover when more than cue-third of the heads were brown at the time of cutting. Alfalfa, cut when 10 to‘30 percent in bloom, retained most oi the leaves 1r carefully handled ,but practically all the leaves dropped off alfalfa which was cut in full bloom. Timothy. which is the principal grass in theMarltime Provinces. is best cut in full bloom. It matures later, and may be harvested over a longer period, however, than clover. Therefore, the best procedure is to start. cutting the clover and the fields with a large percentage of clov er first and leave the fields which are largely timothy until the last. At the Fredericton Experimental Station a fifteen year average shows 0.79 inches less rain and 15 hours more sunshine in July than a better hay 11111112113 mcri-h than August and when hay milking is started early it is often possible to avoid the severe iveathering which has always such s deleterious effect on mature forage. Director of Publicity, Dominion De- partment oi Agriculture, Ottawa.

Weeds and Weeding J. A. Clark, Superintendent, Domin- ion Expcrimcntal Station Charlotte- town, P. E. I.

Weeds cause great loss every year by reducing the yield, increasing the cost of production of farm crops and also reducing the sale valuetof farm lands. Some are poisonous to stock. others cause very objcctable flavors in dairy products, mat the ilcecesof sheep or produce painful wounds by penetrating the flesh of animals. They harbor fungous diseases and some provide a food supply for in- jurious insects.

Weeds ‘are spread by natural agen- cies such as wind. running water. birds and animals. They are brought from the cnds of the earth in grass, clover and other commercial seeds and are further scattered by rail- roads, threshing outfits and through the medium of manure from towns and cities.

It is necessary to know the nature and habit oi groivih of weeds to dc- termine the best method of controlling or destroying them. All plants have some weak period in their existence vshcn they are more easily killed. When we know that a weed is an an- nual. biennial or perennial we can decide in a general way which oi the following principles may best be ap- plied for their destruction: <1.) Prevent weeds from ripening seed. 1 (2) Destroy seedlings by frequent cul- tivatlon. <3) Induce germination in autumn so that many may be killed by frost in Winter. i4) Burn plants with mature seeds, do not plough or work them into the ground. _

(5) Use the cultivator, narrow and hoe frequently when the weeds are young and weak.

<6) Pull by hand and cut with the spud- dcr those that escape other met- hods.

i7) Adopt special short rotations for certain classes of weeds.

i8) Keep more sheep. They are the most useful domestic animals in des- troying weeds.

‘(iii Use chemical sprays when neces- sary. when properly applied, blue- sione will kill wild mustard. and sul~ phaie of ammonia a host of broad- lesved weeds.

Watch For’ The .0 CucunfikpfiBeetle

Director of a bilctty, Dontivn De- partment of Agriculture, Ottawa. One of the earliest oigarden crop enemies is the striped cumber beet,- le, a small insect i4 of_an inch in length, which feeds on such plants as cucumber, squash, pumpkins. mel- ons, etc. It is yellow in color, with a black head and ‘three longitudinal black stripes down the back. The feed on the unfolding leave?‘ which are often completely destroyed with the result that the tiny plants die quickly. ' ' - These insects have‘ already been seen in this district. and growers with large patches of any or these plants would be well advised to watch them closely for the first ap- pearance oi the cucumber beetle. It any appreciable damage is being done control measures should be taken at once. ' Q .

An effective treatment is the dust- ing oi the plants with a mixture of calcium arsenate and gypsum (lhnd plaster) 1.151113 one part of the former tu 20 piifisviby weight) ofthelstter. The young plants should be thorough ly covered, both the upper and lower surfaces of the leaves as the insects iced in both situations. Hydrated lime can be substituted for sypsum but tends to dwarf the plants and temporarily stunt their growth.

To bc successful dusting should be commenced at the ‘first appearance of the beetles as they work very fast and much damage is oiien done be- fore the rower, who is not on the look out for them. is aware oi their presence. Three 0r four application: a few days apart, depending upon the severity of the attack, are‘usually sufficient to hold the beetles in check.
