With the farmers of Nevada about to to purchase seeds for their 1930 crops, the Nevada agricultural extension division is calling their attention, through the extension agents in the varous counties, to the menace to the ' state of unclean seeds.

Motorly Stops, eh? For repairs or on account of the police? Muslcus NOT ENOUGH IN THE FIRE Puncture vine, one of the most noxious of the weeds, has already become established in Nevada through the use of unclean seed, says Mark Menke, Elko county extension agent, and such other menacing weeds as whitetop, morning glory, bull thistle, alfalfa dodder and wild squirrel-tai- l or tickle grass are likely to become as widespread as puncture vine unless the farmer Insists upon using pure seed. Costly Practice. "Planting impare seed is costly, states Menke.

Farmers Slandered Sweet Clover Before Value Seen. Farmers of Ohio and other states really owe an apology to sweet clover. For years they slandered it as a weed, and a nuisance, while they struggled to eradicate it from their farms. Now they are finding it one of the most valuable legumes available for their crop rotations. Because the sweet clover grows persistently In practically any kind of clay, impoverished, or rich just so it contains lime, the great majority of agriculturists concluded it must be a weed, because no crop of any value would grow under such conditions and at the same time resist drouth, poor drainage and disease. "Fifteen years ago one would have traveled far to find 1,009 acres of sweet clover sown as a crop in Ohio. Today a single county has 30,000 acres and the entire state over 300,000 acres, says a bulletin on sweet clover, written by Dr. C. J. Willard, of the farm crops department of the Ohio State ' university. The bulletin is issued by the agricultural extension, service of the university. In It Doctor Willard points out that sweet clover is valuable not only because it grows anywhere, if lime is present in the soil, but because it produces enormous yields of hay and pasturage, and a crop of it is equal to the . , ,, easy-goin- g , , . - , , Farmers Warned as to Alfalfa Seed Supplies Buyers of alfalfa, clover, and sweet clover seeds are warned by C. P. Bull, in charge of the state laboratory at University farm, St. Paul, to be on their guard in buying seed supplies for next spring. He says that purchasers should examine closely all seeds of the kinds named, to make sure that they contain no red, green, or violet colored seeds. If such colors are pre nt, at least a part of the seed is from Europe, South America, or Canada and the hardiness of such seeds may be questioned. Mr. Bull calls attention to the fact that the pure seed act requires that all agricultural seeds offered for sale and samples of seed supplies which are stored elsewhere must he labeled so that the buyer may know exactly the characteristics and conditions of the supplies. Similar warnings are being sent out in other northwestern states.

Weedy crops are subject to dockage in the market, are of inferior value as stock feed and are a constant and most serious menace for seed. There is everything bad and nothing good about a weedy crop." Yield Is Larger. Clean seeds 'are slightly higher in initial cost, states the Elko agent, but they will more than pay for themselves in increased production. The business, farmer, he says, with clean seeds caa produce as much yield on fewer acres as the weedy farmer can obtain on a larger acreage. "Farmers who are awake," declares Menke, and up with the times, will not buy seeds without knowing that they are reasonably free from weed seeds and entirely free from seeds of the more noxious weeds. Seeds are tested at cost by the division of plant industry, state board of stock commissioners, Menke says. to first: Scrape out the filth and droppings.. then scrub with a solution of boiling Lye application of 20 tons of farm manure in Improvement of the soil.

Tests by the Indiana experiment station demonstrated that patches of quack grass can be eradicated by mowing and saturating a month later with sodium chlorate used at the rate of one pound per gallon of water. Best results are had when the grass is mowed and the sprouts saturated when from six to ten inches high. At least two applications are usually needed for complete eradication under farm conditions and sometimes more where the work has not been done carefully.
