PEPPERGRASS HAS BECOME SERIOUS PEST, EXPERT SAYS Field peppergrass (Lepidium cam- pestre) is becoming a weed pest Pennsylvania, Dr. E. M. Gres botanist, Bureau of Paltn ,Ind Dennsllvania Department of A ture, said to-doy. The abundance this weed in many places seems to be a mystery to many property owners, Dr. Gress adds. So quickly does it make its appearance and so complet does it cover a field that farmers are as- tounded and are likely to conclude that the seedsman has sold seeds con. taining peppergrass. The appearance of pep suddenly in such great abu difficult to explain, acordi botanist, for it. 6 seldom is founc clover, alfalfa and timothy seeds, and | if so, in only smal amounts. The sud- | den appearance seems usua to fol-| lowthe plowing of a field that I b n| in sod for several year refore I to be |} the plausible explanation that the pepperg: which produces seeds abundantly, was in the field [or several years and while not in quan- tity to be very noticeable, was ma- turing and scattering seed each year until the soil became rather hea- vily polluted. When the field was plow- ed and conditions were favorable for its growth the peppergras made its ap- pearance so abundantly as to crowd out all other growth. Peppergrass is an annual or win- ter annual plant and therefroe is pro- pagated only by seeds. Afterit flowers and matures its seeds the root dies. In order to eradicate it, one must be careful not to allow it to mature seed. OED) EE CED) CRED TD OSB) SS) HT SHED SE.) co ca CTI 0) EE SH) TED CNA.) ATO SE.) ESN) CH ETD.
