OMMON PEPPER GRASS (Lepidium apetalum).—This rather common _ 
summer annual and winter annual is a foreigner that has become widely 
spread throughout the United States in light, sandy, or dry soils, where it 
sometimes grows to the almost complete lack of other plants. It grows in 
fields, meadows, pastures, and waste places. Where the soil is fertile and suf- 
ficient moisture is present, it rarely competes seriously with crops other than 
in pastures and perennial meadows. Most of the seeds germinate in the fall 
and the resulting plants live over winter to resume growth, bloom and ripen 
seeds before other plants can compete and before the hot dry weather of 
summer arrives. The flowers are rather inconspicuous as they have no 
corolla and are small. The flat circular pod has two seeds. These may live in 
the soil many years. The seed is sometimes put into birdseed mixtures. The 
control of this weed, where possible, is by irrigation, improving the physical 
condition and fertility of the soil and by growing intertilled and small grain 
crops rather than hay and pasture plants.
