It is not too early to begin to select cockerels for next year's breeding pens. A common error among poultrymen is to sell the largest and quickest maturing cockerels on the broiler market and keep the later maturing birds for breeders. Such a practice may mean a few extra dollars now, but in reality it is a very short-sighted policy. Poultrymen who do not pedigree should keep a large number of the early hatched cockerels. Remember it is essential to retain a relatively large number to insure a good selection later in the year. Sej lection should be based on large body size and early sexual maturity. The poultry-man who practices pedigree breeding should retain three or four of the best cockerels from each female breeder. It will be impossible to determine "the best families until the sisters of these breeders have been laying at least three months. For those who want to reduce the number of cockerels to be held over the summer, the only sensible basis of culling at this date would be hatchability of the dam and livability to date of brothers and sisters. < . . Roads Bureau Reports on Ways to Kill Weeds A recent report by the bureau of public roads of the United States Department of Agriculture describes methods used by state highway departments in eradicating weeds along roadsides. Machine mowing, most generally used, often must be supplemented by hand cutting or by use of chemicals to kill weeds not reached by the mower. Highways of modern design, with slopes that can be reached easily by mowers and side ditches that can be mowed over, make machine mowing more effective. < Burning is used mostly to dispose of cut or killed weeds. Various chemicals are particularly adaptable for use along guardrails, around culvert headwalls, and in other places not readily accessible for cutting. Improvements undoubtedly will of weed control and new methods will be dis»1*" covered, say highway engineers, but; effective control is possible with th« methods now used. Regardless of methods used, they say it is important that eradication be thorough, for small patches of undamaged weeds may reseed large areat and offset work done. Besides being unsightly, roadside weeds may hide highway warning, signs, shorten vision, and hinder drainage. Control of roadside weed* directly benefits farmers. Seeds from uncontrolled roadside weed* are carried to adjacent fields bywind, water and birds. Passing automobiles carry seed to distant' points to infest new areas. The bureau of public roads regards Weed destruction as part o#, < ,-.-n . "y McHenry, 111.
