METHOD TO COMPLETELY
ERADICATE THE BINDWEED
Tbls Injurious Plunt May Be Exterminated in Any Field
or Orchard if Proper Effort Made—
By H. R. Cox.
The only successful methods for the
eradication of bindweed must be based
on (he suppression of all top growth,
In order to starve out the underground
parts. A great many farmers are look
ing for some easy method of killing
the bindweed, and in the meantime are
letting it rover the fields and festoon
the trees of the orchard. They as*
looking for some magic "remedy" that
will completely eradicate the weed
with a small amount of exertion on
their part. It must be understood that
such a formidable enemy as this weed
requires heroic treament. Other farm
ers have gone at the problem less
heedlessly, as In the case of a man
who followed the root of a plant to the
depth of four feet and then applied
a large quantity of salt in the hole.
Various methods have been tried
to keep down the top growth, and

hence starve out the underground
parts. There are three methods that j
have given satisfactory results, name
ly, clean cultivation, alfalfa growing !
and hog pasturing. There are other |
methods that have been tried, but not
with a large measure of success.
These include the placing of building
paper, beet pulp, apple pomace, straw
or manure on the ground to smother
the weed growth, and also the appli
cation of chemicals. Conditions in ir
rigated regions are complicated by the
fact that bindweed is often allowed
to grow along irrigation ditches, the

PROFITS IN
BASKET WILLOW!
_____ i
American Soli 'Well Adapted to
Tree and Wide Opportunities
for Articles Made from It
-By W. F. Hubbard.
Willow growing gives an uncom
monly high margin of profit. 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
if more American farmers can be con
vinced of its practicability.
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.
This is now almost entirely received
from France at a price which will give
the entire trade to the American if he
can equal the quality.
Great care should be taken in 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.
Poor soils produce paying crops
where there is a market for short
rods. Avoid land on which water is
stagnant during the summer. If by
drainage the water level on such land
can be lowered at least, six feet be
low the surface the situation may be
considered appropriate.
Do not plant, willows in localities
where early frosts occur. The tender
shoots are easily injured by the
cold.
Plow term, or twelve inches deep in
the fall, prior to planting the follow
ing spring. This turns the top layer
uf the soil so deep that weed seeds
cannot spring up.
If rain is insufficient, irrigate the wil
low bed if possible, but thorough
drainage must be provided, as water
must not stand on the surface. It is
best also to keep the land well
drained during the winter.
Returns depend very largely upon
the method of culture, but more upon
the variety of the willow planted, be
cause the shoots of even the best va
rieties and in the most suitable soil
grew brittle after the stools become
old.

lows are mret generally planted. The
rods of the former peel readily, split

flood times, is also a factor in distribu
ting the seeds and roots to other land.
Bindweed can be eradicated by
clean cultivation if thorough and per
sistent. The case requires going over
the land once every week or ten days
during the entire growing season of
the weed, which is between the spring
and fall frosts. Two years of this
treatment will accomplish the result
in most cases, and it is probable that
one year will suffice where the plant
does not root too deeply. The diffi
culty Is that many farmers will not
cultivate as thoroughly as Is neces
sary. Even a small ton growth is
enough to form some new under
ground growth and rejuvenate the old
roots or root stocks, thereby carry
ing the plant over to the next season.
Cultivation has the further advantage
of inducing a rapid germination of all
seeds of the weed which are in the
soil, the young seedlings being prompt
ly destroyed by the subsequent tillage.
Conditions ir orchard lands are such
as to offer a favorable opportunity
to get rid of this weed, or at least so
reduce it that it does not do much
| damage. Many orchards use a typa
of Implement that has been found
very successful in the control of the
weeds. It consists of a beam resting
on the ground, varying in width from
i eight to 12 feet, with a series of
knives below, all inclined inward. Its
draft is light, it makes a wide cut,
it can be worked close to the trees
and is comparatively inexpensive.
They have a tendency to branch,
, however, and unless the stools are
I planted close together a large percent
j age of the rods branch so much that
■ they are often unfit for peeled stock.
A good basket willow possesses the
i following characteristics: (l) Abil
ity to yield an annual and uniformly
paying crop of rods; (2) flexibility;
C 5) productiveness—l. e., many shoots
to each stool; (4) slender and branch
less rods; (5) smooth and white wood
after peeling.
Cuttings for plantings should be
j made from one-year-old shoots. The
length of the slips is regulated by the
condition of the soil. The richer the
soil is 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 be ruado several weeks in
Mvance and partially burled in mod
t.-ately moist snnd and stored in a
cold barn until needed.
Dury the cuttings in sand to with
in 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 of 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—i. e., more
flexible, tough, slender and branchless
the rods become. On the other hand,
they must not be planted so close that
the soil In and between the rows can
not be cultivated.
Poultry In the Orchard.
Poultry may often with advantage
be kept in the orchard. This makes
it possible to engage in poultry keep
ing on a considerable scale without
any cost for land, writes James Dry
den In Farm Press. In other words,
a double use of the land may be
made. The trees afford shade to the
fowls in warm weather. It will be
necessary to furnish them ample
green food at all times, especially
when the apples are on the ground.
If no other green food is available
they are liable to eat an injurious
amount of apples. On the other hand,
poultry Is a decided advantage to the
orchard as an aid in the warfare on
insect enemies.
Pay for Stock Destroyed.
The legislature of New York has
• been asked to levy an appropriation
for the commissioner of agriculture of
• • $25,000 to pay one-third of the full ap
i praised value of live stock destroyed
on account of foot and mouth disease
i and for the expense of suppressing
and eradicating that disnase.
FINE RECIPE FOR COLDS.

The Concentrated pine is a special
