The manner In which weeds, are
known to Improve soil forms a remark
able scientific discovery. Their roots
extend lut the stirrer and more com
pact subsoil, where-too ordinary plant
can reach, and after loosening and open
ing it up so that air and water can have
action upon tt, suck up from below
great quantities of potash salts and
phosphoric acid. When these weeds are
plowed under or die, these salts and
acids are left near the surface, where
tbey can be utilised by the cereals and
root crops which live upon them. For
instance, wheat and potatoes flourish
well where these weeds have gone be
fore and done the work of getting the
necessary food for them from the sub
soil and the air.
"Much land Is of no value until these
weeds come In and make It so. This Is
particularly true of sandy soils and re
claimed marsh lands, which are defi
cient In potash, a thing necessary In
all farming laud. On these the deeper
rooted legumes, such as gorse, broom,
alfalfa, lupines, sulla and the perennial
beans are, of great value. Their roots
not only reach down very deep and
bring up potash from the subsoil In the
manner described, but their leaves take
great duiintities of nitrogen from the
air. Now, when a soil is rich in pot
ash and nitrogen it Is good soil, and as
these plants die and leave their gath
ered potash ami nitrogen on the surface
the sandy and marshy soils become
good hind. All the farmer has to do Is
plow these rotting weeds under and he
has good land cm which he can raise
cereals, -root crops mid tobacco that
hardiest and most wearing plant upon
soil. , ,, . ., . . -
'The government lias induced farm
ers to try Florida beggar weed. One
experimenter reported that by planting
it in his held and plowing under the an
nual crops for uvo successive years
the soil hud been completely changed
In texture and color. Another farm
er discovered that a crop of beggar
weed turned under will, when decom
posed, rein In near the surface in ready
reach of the roots of succeeding crops
not only all the nitrogen that it took
out of the atmosphere, but also what
ever fertilizers were subsequently ap
plied. A third reported that all hia
tiehls produced more luxurious crops
after having lieen given over ouc sea
son to a rank growth of this weed.
"To find out how much chop ilea I val
ue this weed really takes from tbe'tiir
and the subsoil, the government plant
ed n sandy field (bare of any of the
qualities on which ordinary cereals and
vegetables thrive) with lieggar weed,
and when the crop was at its height
harvested it, root and all. The' crop
was then reduced to ashes and the re
sult analyzed. It was found that every
ton of beggar weed ashes contained riHS
pounds of lime, pounds of phos
phoric acid and 4S2 pounds of otiisli.
Twenty or twenty-rive ions or Iteggiir
weed bay were required to make one
ton of ashes, but every acre yielded four
tons of lieggar weed. It was figured
nut that u four-ton yield 'per" acre,
which is an average, one acre of beg
gar weed would yield pounds of ni
