By Brncs' Thornton, j Associate"'AtfeihMMi'* Colorado Agricultural College. WNU Service. - An "exceptional opportunity tot' farmers to control harmful weeds Is offered in the removal of large acreages of land from wheat and corn under the government's plan of'controlled production. " 6 Such weeds as field bindweed or wild morning glory, white weetl or perennial peppefgrass, poverty weeds, Canada thistle and Russian -knapweed maiy be controlled or eradicated by cultivating often, enough to prevent any green growth appearing above the surface of th£ ground. Clean cultivation is the cheapest method of eradication available at present. This usually requires . cultivating once a week ^or two consecutive years, Blthough cultivations may be less frequent as the plants are weakened. One year of clean cultivation has produced desired results under some conditions, weakening weeds so that a heavy Sowing of alfalfa lias smothered them out completely. However, there Vs always a chance that some plants, will survive under thte method. These weed pests defy ordinary con troj methods because of . the hpge 8mounts of food materials held in reserve in their extensive, creejiing root systems. Usual cultural practices, where care is not taken to keep green growth from appearing, often increases rather than decreases the growth and spread of the weeds. , Clean cultivation has been hindered In the past by the hesitancy to take land out of production, although crops produced in weedy areas usually are of poor quality and low yield. Now that farmers are being paid rentals "by the government to keep land out of corn and wheat, or the production of any crop competing with any basic commodity, an unusual opportunity presents itself for eradicating injurious weeds by clean cultivation. Weed eradication will increase th^ value of the land and remove a soured of possible further damage. " • Jacket EnsemM* Quail, Farmers' Friend, Must Have Food Supply Among the chief causes for lack of quail and .uplsftid birds on farms may be scarcity of necessary food and cover. Failure to supply substitute "patches" when natural feeding ground has been destroyM and neglect to pre serve the natural cover for the bobwhite's habitat, are among the chief causes of gradual reduction, says thf •Missouri Farmer. Many measures maybe taken on the average farm to increase or Improve the food for quail, and .help bring about an increase In their numbers.

Once started lespedeza volunteers year after year, unless killed out by burning the land over after the seed germinates in the spring. When harvesting grain a few rows on the outside near cover may be advantageously left for the birds. Quail at times do much work on the farm by destroying serious Insect pests^and are considered one of the farmer's best allies and deserve the serious consideration on any man's farm. : ' Bees Are in Demand Were It not that honey producing, is profitable enough to induce people to keep bees, it would be necessary to raise some type of insect solely for the purpose of pollenation, says Dr. E. F. Phillips, professor of entomology at Cornell university, in his recent'address to the Empire State Honey Pw dueers' association. So necessary is the service that bees render to the fruit growers of New York state that 800 colonies of them were Imported last year to aid in pollenization in Niagara bounty alone, and In other counties throughout the fruit-growing region i growers are renting colonies, of bees for the purpose. \Not only do bees produce a $2,000,000 honey crop annually in New York state but they pollinate more than one-third of the $10,000,000 apple crop as Along the Furrows Consumers in this country ate more than 15,000,000,000 pounds of neat in 1933.
