experiments with commercial fertil-

The Regulations under the Seeds
Act were amended last autumn to
allow 100 noxious turf gras weed
acctis per ounce in Grade No. 1, 200
in Grade No. 2 and -100 in Grade
No. 3. Any lots of bent seed contain-
ing more than 400 of these seeds
per ounce are Rejected forsale in
Canada, and must seek an export
mzirket. The worst noxious turf grass
weeds which .lower the grades of
bcnt seed are common plantain.

Mr. Amos Curley has resumed hla

his Easter
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
