Weeds Rob Farmers of Pasture Forage Each year, weeds rob many Nebraska farmers of one-half to three-quarters of the desirable forage some pastures are cap able of producing. This makes weed elimination one of the most Important steps a farmer can take toward in creasing returns from an un productive pasture, a Univer sity of Nebraska College of Ag riculture publication points out. The bulletin, Pasture Weed Control, which can be obtained at county extension offices, not es that weeds can be controlled by using chemical weed-killers, mowing, reseeding and proper management. Experimental results show 75 to 90 per cent control of most troublesome broadleaf weeds ; from early June application of one pound. One of the principal advantag. es of chemical control lies in the fact that one to two years of chemical treatment will elim inate many broadleaf weeds. It may be necessary to treat for, three or four consecutive years1 to eliminate 75 to 90 per cent of. the hard-to-kill perennial broad leaf weeds, the circular adds. ! Troublesome pasture weeds ! and recommended chemical con trol are described in detail in the circular, which was produc ed as a part of the College's continuing campaign toward; more productive pastures in the ! state. i Based on eight years of ex-! periments by the Agricultural; Research Service and the Un-; iversity of Nebraska Agricultur al Experiment Station, it is re vealed that mowing does not re- cult In ti cf i 1 i any species of perennial pasture weeds. Good management of the lay ing house is necessary this time of year to ensure production of clean eggs. Rain, snow and high moisture conditions lead to a damp laying house.
