ontario question j jeh york last summer our grain was full of mustard although this has not been a bad weed in our neighborhood for many years what can i do to clean it out answer owing to the great vitalitj of the seed mustard is a very hard weed to eradicate the seeds once in tho ground live for years and continue to germinate as they are brought near the surface hence i takes patience a great deal of la bor and a long lime to get rid of the weed when it once gets possession of the land when present only in small amounts handpuliing is the best method providing the pulling is done before seeds have formed and as persons pulling in a hurry cannot wait to examine for seed it is best to put the weeds as they are pulled in bundles where they can be burned when dry when fields are overrun with the weed it is best lo proceed as with boucher this season royals are still the class of the montreal senior group they have gone 13 games without a defeat and are now- leading the parade bert
