| Question: | "We have about everything that grows in our rough, from white birch and apple trees down to crab-grass. This is all made ground, and as the subsoil is pure sand we can not plow it up. Any suggestions you can give us with regard to getting rid of this vegetation will be appreciated." |

| Answer/Response: | "Under ordinary conditions the best way to make good rough out of overgrown land is to scalp the land and then sow it to sheep's fescue or Canada bluegrass. The top soil scalped off may advantageously be used in making compost. If it is impossible to work on your soil by either plowing or scalping it our suggestion would be that you kill the vegetation with chemical weedkiller sprays. The use of chemical weedkillers is fully discussed in the article beginning on page 169 of THE BULLETIN of July, 1924. If you should succeed with this method we would advise you to seed the land with Canada bluegrass or sheep's fescue." |
