KILLING WILD MORNING GLORY.

A study of the best methods of the

eradication of the bindweed, or wild morning glory, 'has been made by the department of agriculture, and the data collected have been published as

farmer's bulletin No. 368, which may be had by making request of the department. Three methods are recommended as practical for the eradication of the weed, which, like the quack grass and Canada thistle, is so serious because of Its propagation through underground root stalk sys

tems. The first method is clean cul

tivation every week or ten days with

some knife cultivator during the entire growing season of the plant, which extends from the spring to the fall frosts. The second method Is by seeding an Infested field to alfalfa. The benefit of this method lies in the

frequent cutting, which weakens the

vitality of the morning glory, while

the dense and rapid growth of the alfalfa exerts a smothering effect. A

cultivated crop should follow the alfalfa and any remaining plants killed.

A third method which has been found successful Is the fencing off of the

Infested spots and turning In a drove

of hogs, whose ration of feed should be reduced while they are at work on

the weeds. They not only browse the tops close to the ground, but if they do

not have rings In their noses will dig

deep for the roots, which taste much like the sweet potato and of which

they are very fond.

While the hogs may be turned into

morning glory fields as pasture,

quicker and more satisfactory results are obtained if the field is plowed and

the hogs then turned In. The plowing

wet years, and the condition referred

An unprecedented drought prevailed

during the early growth of the small grain and was particularly severe at

the time, the berry filled. The result is

that thousands of acres will not yield

grain enough to pay for oil for the

machinery and salt for the horses.

Whether these drought conditions are ling the dry midsummer weather it la

to prevail for several years to come no one under tho sun Is wise enough

uncertain rainfall should always plan

their operations on the basis of the

driest years, so as not to be disappointed in the calculations. Should

more rain fall than the minimum they

will be gainers by so much and have

cause for rejoicing.

By all odds the easiest way to main

In these times of excessively high prices for hay and all rough feed it becomes necessary for the farmer to determine just how he csn best save the real food values that he knows are present in corn fodder. But to get these values at their best he must be able to harvest the corn when it is ripe, to cut the fodder just at that time when it is neither too green nor too dry. And to do this he must rely upon some other methods than the old fashioned cutting by hand. The Johnston Corn Binder is the result of this demand for something that would en&ble tha farmer to harvest his corn quickly, economically and surely. It is a perfected ccm binder; it has none of the poor points that have mads other binders of uncertain value. . It is light and compactyet strongly built in every particular. The frame, the wheels and sup

porting beams are of strongest steel, it is cf

light draft and there is no neck weight to bur

den the horses. Two horses are ample for its

operation.

It is well balanced and can not tip over cn

steep side hills; its moving parts work cn roSav and brass bush bearings; it runs smoothly end

evenly. The corn is bound in an inclined position. Eith

er a horizontal or vertical position is unnatural

and can not produce the proper binding. It

has no packers to twist and tangle the corn

and knock off the ears. .

It works perfectly in tangled and down ccm; it

picks up the low-lying stalks as well as the

straight-standing ones. It has automatic conveyor fingers and automatic gates. The cut

ting apparatus consists of three knives end

one center plate; it does its work as no other

cutter ever has.

It is the machine of results, not claims; It is ths i machine that does as well in ths field as it (bes on the printed page; it is the machine that vr;i
