Farmers’ Advocate—A correspondent sends the following :—Oan anyone suggest a better plan ? “ Which is the best way to exterminate wild oats ? I have been trying to kill them, but they beat me bo far, The nearest I have come is to plough the ground in the fall; harrow good in the spring, and give them a chance to grow a few inches, and then plough them under. Harrow again, and let them come p again a few inches ; plough them under again, and let them lie till they rot. That will be two batches killed. Then about the 20th of June sow about one-half bushel of buckwheat to the acre. If that comes up well there will not be many wild oats to be seen."
