Weeds may gain entrance to the farm | or be dispersed over a wider area in '(ne of the following ways: (3) In Stable Manure and Feeding Stuffs. Hay and feeding stuffs oftâ€" en â€" contain â€" weed seeds, some of which are liable to find their way into the manure heap and eventually on to the land.. Some seeds can pass through the bodies of animals and afterwards germinate. (4) By the Action‘ of the Wind Many seeds, such as those of dande lion and thistle, are furnished with a tuft of hairs which enables them to boat in the air for long distances. In other cases,. the seeds or even the whole plant may be blown over the frozen surface of the snow. (51 By the Agency of Animals. The seeds, or those parts of plants which contain the seeds, as in the case of blue bur or burdock,, are proâ€" vided with hooks hy means of which they become attached to the wnol of sheep or the elothing of workers on the farm and in this way may be earâ€" ried into fields where formerly they did not exist (6) By _ Cultivation. In â€" some plants. especially those with creepâ€" ing underground stems. such as quack grass, the broken pieces may be carâ€" rled all over the field by farm imple: ments and thus dispersed over a much wider area than the parent plants originally occupied. j the useful seeds and thus the wea‘s may, quite unknown to the carmor, ga‘n an entrance on to his land.

Great corporations, companâ€" ies, and merchant bouses, and those whose staple industries are derived from _ raw materials produced from the soil, are intimately concerned in the practical encouragement of the \study. Another manufacturer, Mr. Tunniâ€" cliife. asserted that Nottingham proâ€" duced lace poor in design and fabric, and lacking curable qualities, "Swiss, French and Germans have kept their eves on old lace models, and have richly endowed their art schools, bringing them into vital conâ€" tact with their factories." "The majority of Nottingham lace manufacturers and merchants," he said, "are not lacemen at all. They know nothing of the artistic possibiliâ€" ties of their craft. For them improvâ€" ed production should be much more important than increased production. Mr. Charles Vickers, himself a lace manufacturer, severely criticsed Engâ€" lish methods. He declaerd that the reason why Nottingham did not proâ€" duce lace as beautiful as that of Caâ€" lais and Lyons was that it was too busy making money out of rubbish. A debate on this subject at the spring meeting of the Textile Instiâ€" tute at Nottingham, produced some vBry outspoken comments. Makers Say Nottingham Is Beaten by Calais and Lyons, France.
