MacLeod, weed expert, Ontario Dept. of Agriculture, Toronto. The weed is propagated by mean-s of seed and slender, creeping, under- ground rootstalks. The stems are clustered, with wood at the base, and one to two feet high; leaves, without stems, are, opposite; flow- ers, yellow in loose clusters, the petals having black dots on the margin. No difficulty is experienced with ‘8‘; John’s Wort on land which is thoroughly cultivated and which is kept under a short rotatiOn of crops. Break any Ibad'ly infested [pasture fields and cultivate thor- oughly. Do not reseed to any cro-p until this weed‘ has been eradicatâ€" ed, advises Mr. MacLeod. Prevent seed production by smud- ding scatteredl plants or mowing or spraying. Experience has proven that this weed will spread rapidly and smother out all other vegeta- tion. Insist on h‘aving adjoining [property and roadsides cleaned up. Spraying with chemicals has proven effective. Weedv inspectors will give information on the proper use of chemicals.
