Modes of Eradication. 



The following are the modes ei eradica- 

 tion that have been found most successful 

 in dealing with the ox-eye daisy: 



1. Modifying the rotation. Drop meadow 

 out of the rotation until the infested fields 

 have been dealt with. 



2. August plozving, follozved by zvinjer 

 rye cut early, and this again by a cultivated 

 crop. Grow a crop of rye followed by a 

 cultivated crop, as described in section 3 

 above, wdiere we treated of the methods of 

 destroying the Canada thistle. The plow- 

 ing in June will turn under the daisies that 

 may have been in the rye, and the stirring 

 of the soil necessary to the cultivation of 

 the crop will be favorable to the germina- 

 tion of the seeds of the weed that may be 

 lying in the soil dormant. 



J. Plozving up ineadozv land and plant- 

 ing to a cultivated crop. In the case of 

 meadow land which is infested wit-h the 

 wee\i, pasture it until the middle of June ; 

 then plow it deeply and plant to some culti- 

 vated crop, taking pains to cultivate it with 

 sufficient care. The daisies are thus turned 

 under before they have had an opportunity
