————— 

URLED DOCK (Rumex crispus) or Yellow Dock as it is sometimes 
called is another introduced perennial weed that may grow in most any 
soil and any crop although it is most persistent in moist locations. It is a com- 
mon weed of moist pastures. The long curly leaves and brown top when ripe 
are familiar to most people. The yellow spindle shaped tap root may pene- 
trate 2 or 3 feet into the soil and is difficult to remove except in spring 
when the soil is soft and wet. Its only means of spread is its seeds. These 
three-sided brown parts about the size of a millet seed are common in most 
clover, alfalfa and millet crop seed and are difficult to remove. The first step 
in trying to control this weed is to drain the soil if necessary, so that a good 
job of tillage can be performed. Intertilled crops which permit a long season 
of thorough cultivations and hoeing offer the best means of eradication. In 
wet seasons many of the roots can be easily pulled. Seeds of this plant are 
very long lived and will germinate for 50 or more years after being produced 
if buried in the soil.
