WILD MORNING GT.OFY CAN BE CONTROLLED B,Y U E OF SPECIAL METHODS from The following conclusion Prof. George Stewart of the Utah experiment station in his recently published bulletin, gives hopes for controlling wild morning glories. (1) It has been possible by clean, cultivation during three months of July, August and Septem- nearly to eradicate heavy beds of morning glories. (2) Russian sunflowers were ef fective in killing about 90 per cent of the morning glory, thereby reducing the growth to such an extent as to permit the growing of a cultivated crop. In practice it would seem that frequent, shallow tillage is the best method of control. Close hand hoe- ing of small spots will apparently almost complete eradication in a single season. The weeds should be cut off just as soon as they start to come through the ground, not a few days later. Finally, there is no reason whatever for the hoplessness that prevails with respect to land contamin- ated with morning glory.

It appears to the writer, that this farmer has come as near to solving the big marketing problem as any- one in this section. He first took care of his own needs as nearly as possible by raising vegetables, fruit, honey, milk, poultry, meat, and grain in sufficient quantities to supply his own table and have a surplus for the market. He also likewise provided for his livestock. In contrast with this let me sight a Basin alfalfa seed grower who pended on his one crop. Last fall he sold his seed for $3,000.00, which advertisements In this paper mention the UINTAH BASIN FABMEB- - Ear Tags $ The beat lag on the market indoraed by prominent atockmen.
