We read in Grecian mythology of a contest between Hercules and the giant Antaeus. son ot mother Earth. and famed lor his strength and skill in wrestling. Although Hercules was able to throw his antagonist to the ground, from each fall Antaeus would rise from mother Earth stronger than before. Hercules finally killed him by lifting him tram the ground and squeezing him to death. The struggle ot the farmer to "ree his fields from the domination of noxious weeds has been appropriately likened to that of the Greek table. Everyone who is interest- ed in agriculture knows well the great extent to which weeds exist in our cultivated lands. Hitherto our farmers have been about as suecesslul in their futht against weeds as Hercules was in the earlier stages of his coth with Antaeus. They have been fighting sway blindly, treating all kinds ot weeduin the same way. with the re- sult that some weeds are killed, some are merely kept in check. and some flourish and increase. If they are ever to beeradicated entirely, their habits of growth, their strong and weak points, must be studied by the cultivn- tors ofthe soil, even as Hercules studied _ the weakness of his adversary. Daring the last year or two a great deal has been done by the agricultural departments through the medium of newspapers. bulletins. and agricultural meetings to disseminate information on this subject. The proceu of education. however, is necessarily slow. and it seems to be the general opinion of progressive termcrs, as revealed by the farmers’ institute meetings all over the country. that the time has come when a herculeen effort must be made to lift this giant of " weed domination" from the earth and dean-0y it.
