With our humid, hot, and showery
,. weathe conditions thii U the season
of the year for grass and weeds, and
woe be onto you if you let them get
ahead of. you. . , , .
What do yon know about the weeds
and grasses that give you so much
i trouble 11 recently : talked , with a
man who has gardened for' several
years but did not know the difference
between "crab grass" and "Bermuda
grass." Just in case some of the read
erg of this column are also confused,
crab grass is an annual plant, catch
ing iroot at all joints. It is a serious
, pest at this time of year but is killed
t out by'cold weather. In the garden
it muat be controlled by frequent cul
tivation and hand pulling. In the
. lawn it may be killed by special chem
' ical sprays. ,
. On the other hand, Bermuda grass
sometimes called wire grass is a
.-, perennial plant, catching root at the
joints and also sending -out many un
derground stemsby which it Spreads
ravidly and lives over" from year to
. vear. ' Freezing may kill the above
ground stem but not the underground
' "stems. Clean cultivation, and smoth
v ering it with heavy crop growth are
: about the only controls. I have kill
; ed'ifcin the garden by covering with
mulching paper..
Tnere are many other "grasses and
weeds that give us trouble in the gar
den and there are no easy methods of
control. Also, in the fall of the year
we are prone to let the weeds go in
the- portions of the garden where we
nave no crops. These weeds will ma
ture millions of seeds for future- gen
erations. Many weed seeds remain
alive for years in garden soils, be
cause .they have been buried boo deep
iy. .;' As ; soon as cultivation ." brings
them closer to the surface and con
ditions are favorable, they immediate
ly germinate. ' y

A widow, feeling she has been less
than kind during 25 year of married
life, tried to get in. touch with hen
departed husband through a medium.
"Are you happy 7" she asked. "I
am that.'-. was the reply..
"Now you're in Heaven, of course
you'll be happier than you were with
me?" -
The spirit voice replied: "I'd better
tell you straight I'm not in Heaven."
