Salt will kill any vegetation, including
nut grass, but the quantity required would
vary with the depth of the soil tilled vyith
the grass nuts. Moreover, the salt would
not kill the nuts in the sod until tiiey
vegetate. The most reliable method we
think is to siiaue out Hie nut grass by
seeding heavily in outs in the tali; follow
the oats with two bushels ol cow- peas to
tile acre; make hay of the cowpea crop,
und immediately turn under the stubbie
and sow in oujs or rye, and follow the
outs or rye with cow peas again, if but
a small plot of the infes.ed soil, you may
possibly destroy the grass with salt; but
more certa.nly by hoeing it up as often
as it appears, nut less than every other
day.
