Methods for Subduing Oxeye Daisies and Tomato Classification

The Country Gentleman lists five methods to control the oxeye daisy across seasons, with a sixth fallow option noted but criticized for lack of thoroughness. It argues drills and heavy plow work are often preferred, citing labor costs and desired crops. A separate note discusses whether the tomato is a fruit or vegetable, citing conflicting views from American Cultivator and Prairie Farmer and referencing a U S court decision on a New York port tariff case from February 4, 1887.
