Modes of Eradication. 



The following are the modes of eradica- 

 tion that have been found most successful 

 in dealing with the wild carrot : 



/. In cultivated fields. Give the arable 

 portions of the farm good cultivation. If 

 this be done, the wild carrot will soon cease 

 to appear in them. 



2. In permanent pastures, lanes, zvasfe 

 places, etc. In pastures and waste places 

 keep the plants cut down during the second 

 year of their growth, cutting them off- with 

 the scythe as often as they attempt to 

 mature their seeds. If this be done thor- 

 oughly, at the end of two years all the 

 plants will be destroyed. 



J. Using the spud. Where the plants 

 are not too numerous, they may be destroy- 

 ed with the spud by cutting them off below 

 the crown at any stage of their growth.
