Wild Mustard is one of the most 

 troublesome weeds the Canadian farmer 

 has to destroy, because it grows up and 

 ripens with his grain crop and can only 

 be got rid of by pulling it out one stalk 

 at a time. Doherty, of O. A. C, Guelph, 

 has tried spraying with different strengths 

 of iron sulphate and those of copper 

 sulphate on six plots. The application 

 of 2 per cent, copper sulphate was en- 

 tirely satisfactory, completely destroying 

 the mustard and not injuring the oat 

 crop in which it was growing.
