' Curled, Sour, or Yellow Dock is i deep-rooted \ perennial introduced from Europe, and now common around buildings, in neglected lanes, in pastures, and m cultivated land. The docks are among the few plants whose roots have the power of producing adventitious buds. When cut up each piece of dock root is capable of sending forth a shoot, and thus behaves like an under- groimd stem. Cutting below the crown, which will destroy most jx-rennial or biennial plants, is of no avail with the docks. They must be pulled up and removed completely ; or the roots plowed up and the pieces carefully collected and taken off the land. vSeeding should be prevented, and everv pre- caution taken to secure pure seeds of the grasses and clovers sown on the farm, as the latter often contain dock seeds. He- cause of the size and weight of the latter, it is prac- tically impossible to separate them from Red Clover seeds. In most cases this weed can be kept in check bv the frequent introduction of well-cared-for hoe- crops m to the rotation. The shorter the rotation, the better. The later sown hoe-crops, especiallv rape, are tnore effective than those sown earlier i
