"We have been fighting weeds for a long tune, and yet our noxious weed patches continue to Increase in both size and number," Profes sor J. C. Hogenson, extension agronomist agron-omist of the U. 8. A. C. extension service observes. The time and place to begin to fight weeds is at planting time and with the seed selected for planting. Many farmers plant more weed seeds with their crops than they can possibly destroy through .their weed-killing processes, Professor; Hogenson points out. The solution to the problem lies eventually only In the planting of good clean seed. Farmers In the northern section of Utah bought alfalfa seed from a trucker because they could buy It from him for 25 cents per hundred pounds chaper than they could pur chase it elsewhere. Most of the farmers planted this seed without a thought to Its purity. One farm er, however, after examining the seed realized that It did not look Just right so he called the county agent The county agent found that this particular lot of alfalfa seed had from 90 to 120 white top and wild morning glory seeds per pound! or enough to plant Crctrij 1300 to 1800 noxious weed seeds on every acre of ground where this seed was planted. These farmers saved a few dimes by purchasing this cheap seed but they have lost hundreds of dollars through the decreased value of future fu-ture crops and have made for themselves them-selves and their posterity an almost al-most endless Job of ridding their farms of the weed menace. o The Trl-Stake Lumber company was awarded the contract to furn ish the lumber to be used In the construction of forms at the new city water settling tank, at a meet ing of the dty council Monday eve ning.
