tiee of the Peace Walter (Tiny)

WHEN
WEEDS
ARE
WEAKEST
Most weeds are weakest when they are blooming, and if they are mowed
during this period they can be more eadl.v killed. Livestock production in Tex-
as could be vastly increased if several million acres of land, overgrown with
weeds and brush, were mowed to control them.
Production of pasture grasses can generally be increased 5C to 60 per cent
by mowing weeds where there is fertility and moisture. Your county agent can
help you decide the best time to mow.
