all destroyed between the rows of corn. 

 The following season run the disk over the 

 land quite frequently until the middle of 

 June. Then sow millet at the rate of one 

 bushel of seed per acre. The growth of 

 millet thus secured should smother any 

 plants of the quack grass that may have 

 survived. 



Observations. If the first method out- 

 lined is thoroughly followed out, then by 

 autumn the quack grass will be completely 

 destroyed. An infested field was very 

 thoroughly cleaned by this method in one 

 season at the Ontario Experiment Station 

 farm at Guelph in 1891, the cultivated crop 

 used being corn. It should be remarked 

 that more constant and careful cultivation 

 was given to this crop than a corn crop 

 usually receives, and this is true in respect 

 to both the horse labor and the hand labor. 

 In a wet season, however, it would scarcely 

 be possible to eradicate quack grass with- 

 out an expenditure of labor too costly for 

 such a result. Indeed, quack grass should 

 never be disturbed when the ground is wet, 

 for at such a time the growth of the grass 

 would in some respects be encouraged by 

 stirring the soil.
