The doctor said the only help for me was to go to a hospital and be operated on. I tried several remedies for months but did not get much help. During this time sores appeared which changed to a terrible itching eczema. Then I began to use Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Pills, injecting a quantity of Cuticura Ointment with a Cuticura Suppository Syringe. It took a month of this treatment to get me in a fairly healthy state and then I treated myself once a day for three months and, after that, once or twice a week.

Bolley. —____ Experiments in spraying to eradi- cate weeds in cereal grain fields have been conducted at the North Dakota experiment station from season to sea- son since 1896. Preliminary trials in 1896 with many of the worst weeds, including mustard, showed that the weeds can be destroyed in grain fields without injury to the growing grain. Since that date various experimenters have recommended either copper sulphate or iron sulphate solutions to be used for this purpose. From time to time we have given instructions in newspaper articles and in various re- ports and press bulletins regarding the possibilities of this work, As yet, Unsprayed and Sprayed Section of however, very little has been made of general application of the method by northwestern farmers. The most ap- parent reason for this seems to be lack of available machinery particu- larly suited to the work. Each spring the farmers become intensely inter- ested in this method of weed de- struction just at a time when the work should be undertaken. Though the North Dakota agricul- tural department has been advocating spraying for the destruction of mus- tard in grain fields for a number of years, and though the writer feels con- fident that this method of weed de- struction can be made an economic success, indeed of as great importance to the grain growers as the disinfec- tion of seed grain for smut and other troubles, the work lags. In other words, the farmers do not take hold of what appears to be a most important discovery bearing on cereal cropping. The work is about in the position that seed disinfection work was pre- vious to the time of the discovery of formaldehyde. The farmérs never took hold of the work of seed disinfec- tion, even though for years it was well known that smut could be prevented by various simple methods of seed treatment and at the same time the crop largely increased in yield. Even then many farmers did not make use of the treatment until their grain went rejected on the market. It would seem, in the case of many farms in the Red River valley, that the weed question has reached about this same stage. While the grain may not be rejected on the market, the yield and quality is gradually being reduced by excessive growth of weeds until the crops obtained do not pay the bills. abu w by Mie wudi wut Wetly A Ue ne sone wy sa tie Tee Extenaed experiments undertaken by the North Dakota Agricultural de- partment during the season of 1907 definitely satisfy the writer that field mustard, king-head, Red river weed and many other of the annual weeds of less importance may be completely eliminated in wheat fields without the least injury to the grain; while such destructive pests as the Canada thistle may be killed to the ground while the grain is growing without in any wise reducing the yield, thus preventing further spread. The yield of straw and grain is increased in about a di- rect proportion to the weeds eliminat- ed by the spraying. It should be remembered that a Grain ‘Fields at Cornell “University. mere sprinkling machine which throws the liquid in large drops and wastes the solution will not prove sat- isfactory. A traction sprayer with a strong pump or other device for throwing the liquid with force and in a fine spray is absolutely necessary in order to get the results demanded. The following solutions are recom- mended: Iron sulphate at the rate of 100 pounds to each 52 gallons of water, with the sprayer set to throw approx: imately one to 1% barrefs of solution per acre; this solution can be used generally throughout grain fields with. out the slightest fear of injury’ to the yield. It is especially satisfactory for use against mustard, young king-head and other soft annual weeds. Canada thistles will be blighted so as to pre vent blossoming, but will not be killed back to the ground. Copper sulphate at the rate of 12 to 15 pounds for each 52 gallons of water. This solution gives approx imately the same effect as iron sul- phate. Both iron sulphate and cop- per action, requiring two to three days’ sunshine to complete their work. Common salt at the rate of 80 to 100 pounds for each 52 gallons of wa- ter. As yet salt has not, been largely tried against mustard, but can be re lied upon as effective against king: head and to do very satisfactory work against the Canada thistle. It acts more quickly than iron or copper sul- phate, but is also more effective in the bright sunshine. Sodium arsenite at the rate of 1% to two pounds for each 52 gallons of water. This solution acts the quick- solutions, being est of any of the Spraying Grain Fields for Wild Mustard. fn this case, perhaps, the farmers are not so greatly to blame for while cul- tivation and crop rotation methods are sufficient for ordinary farming, in the regions of extensive grain culture, these means do not seem to be suffi- cient to prevent the introduction of many of the worst types of weeds. Just at this point, it may be-well to state that weed destruction by spray- ing methods will not result in clean farms unless all of the other methods of weed fighting are practiced. How- ever, the writer believes that it is a most efficient method for extensive ap- plication against weeds in cereal grain fields and that eventually it will be found of great advantage in re- ducing the weeds to a point when a profitable crop may be grown, to a point at which other ordinary methods of weed extermination can reasonably come into action. Where weeds are too thick to pull or cut without de- struction to the growing grain, by this method of spraying the farmer will be able to reduce the number to @ point at which pulling and other methods of weed elimination can become ef- fective. It will also allow one to eas- ily prevent weeds upon the roadsides and in waste places from seed produc: tion effective against king-head though a rain follows within a few even hours. The substance is extremely poisonous and should be handled with at least as much care as one exercises in handling Paris green, common arsenic, strychnine or other active poisons. Salt and sodium arsenite are much stronger herbacides than either iron sulphate or copper sulphate and each farmer should gain some personal ex- perience with the use of them before applying to large areas of grain. In most places the Canada thistle is yet grouped in large, single patches and it is of more importance that the this- tles should be destroyed than that a full crop of wheat or other grain should be grown. Most farmers will, therefore, find it advisable to use upon these patches either\salt or sodium arsenite in somewhat stronger solu- tions than is recommended for gen- eral work in grain fields. On these patches, a second or third application of the solution so aS to more thor- oughly wet the plants, may be advisa- ble. If more than 52 gallons of either the common salt or sodium arsenite solutions are used upon an acre of grain, the grain will be cacti to be in- jured. i sulphate are, however, slow of] W.
