A great many farmers are look- ing for some easy method of killing the bindweed, and in the meantime are letting it cover the delds and festoon the trees of the orchard. They are looking for some magic "remedy" that will completely eradicate the weed with a small amount of exertion on their part. lt must be understood that such a formidable enemy as this weed I requires heroic trostnent. Other farm- ' ers have gone at the problem less hsedlessly, as in the case of a man who followed the root of a plant to the depth of four feet and than applied a large quantity of salt in the hole.

A large demand for willow is now supplied by import, and as American-grown rods are of good quality when proper care is taken in their culture there is no reason why the further development of the industry should not be possible ll .more American farmers can be con- vinced of its practlcablllty_, Of late years willow' furniture has sprung into fashion and to-day no minor industry is more prosperous than that devoted to its supply. The wages are good and the manufacturers demand a steady supply of superior willow. 'l"hls is now almost sntlrely received from France at a price which will glvi the entire trade to the American if he can equal the quality. Great care should be token ln the selection of the willow beds, Rich, per- manently moist sandy loam gives best returns, though ordinary moist sandy land often yields profitable crops of willows.

A good basket willow possesses the following characteristics: (1) Am). ity to yield an annual and uniformly Darius cron of rods: (2) flexibility; (3) productlveness-i. e., many shoots to each stool; (4) slender and branch- less rods; (6) smooth and white wood after peeling. Cuttings for plantings should be made from one-year-old shoots. The length of the slips ls regulated by the condition of the soil. The richer the soil ls the shorter the cuttings may be. Generally they are made eight inches long for moist, rich soil, and 12 inches for dry, sandy soil. Although it is generally advised to prepare cuttings just before planting, they may he made several weeks in advance and partially buried in mo`d- erately molst sand and stored in a cold barn until needed. Bury the cuttings in sand to with- ln one inch of the top. Care should be taken to have the buds point up- ward. _ Plant early in the spring, as soon as the frost is out oi' the ground. In spacing the plants the following prin- ciple holds for all willows and for all soils: The closer the cuttings are planted the more valuable~l_ e., more flexible, tough, slender and brsnchless the rods become.
