Overview

Excerpt from Quack Grass Eradication, Prepared Especially for Farmers Desirous of Destroying This Dangerous Pest For many years thinking agriculturists have been watching with great apprehension the rapidly increasing growth and spread of the Weed known as quack grass. A few years ago this pest was only found in scattered sections of the northern part of the United States, and on isolated farms, but today there are whole town ships and counties that are almost totally in fested with the weed. When quack grass takes possession of land, the growing of profitable crops is almost out of the question. T o acquaint those farmers, who are unfamiliar with quack grass, with the seriousness of this pest and to offer suggestions as to its eradication, is the purpose of this booklet. We know of just one man in the United States who has completely and absolutely killed, at will, any considerable quantity of quack grass. We say absolutely killed for the reason that there are many experimenters who have been partiallysuccessful along this line. That man is Mr. P. B. Crane of Long Lake, Minn. The result of his work has been carefully scrutinized by competent agricultural experts who have given the result of his work unqualified approval. Up until this time, however, his process has been unknown, Mr. Crane having formerly made it a practice to contract eradication of quack grass and to sell information concerning the process. For the benefit of those farmers who have quack-infested farms at this time, we have persuaded Mr. Crane to publish in book form the results of his in vestigations, combining with his experience all other known information about the weed.
