CLASSES 0F WEEDS All weeds may be placed under]

three classes:

Annuals, those mat live but one year; Biennlals, those that live two

ears: and perennials. those that ive from year to year.

Annual weeds are those weeds that start from seed, make their full growth, produce seed. and die in one year. In this class we find such common weeds at 9180011 grass, lambs uarter, wild cats, mustard. wild uckwheet. ragweed. etc. To Eradlcnie Annual Weed we must keep weed seeds out of the soil and prevent the weeds that now in the field from producing seed. Use only clean seed: that is. do not plant the weed seeds. Plant the land to cultivated crops such as corn or potatoes. once or twice in every three to five years, so that it may be cultivated and the weeds killed in that way. In other words clean reed and crops will mnke it easy to control annual weeds.

Biennial weeds. The first year they start frcm seed and make part of thclr growth. They live over winter. then the second year com- ‘plete their growth. produce teed and die. There are but two common biennial weeds, bull thistle and burdock. They are found in old pastures rmd in waste places.
