The approaching session Of the legis-
lature will be of ninety days duration.
The constitutional amendment voted up
on at the recent election having been car
ried, proclamation to that effect will
be issued by the governor, as provided
by the act submitting the amendment.
This amendment, while it extends the
session of the legislature thirty days,
provides that no bill shall be introduced
during the last twenty days unless upon
the written request of the governor.
Those members who have bills to rush
through at the end of the session will no
doubt make demands upon the governor
for his request, but the intent of the law
seems to be that only bills of public i'm
portance are to be saved by the interior
ence of the governor.

The Bandanna of French Origin.

The habit of using red bandanna
was begotten years ago by Allen G
Thurman from association with En-.

taught the Ohio statesman how to
speak "the polite language" and use
highly-colored handkerchief. Thus
in a remote way France was respon-

Helpful Hints on Killing Weeds

/. Plants cannot live indefinitely
deprived of their leaves. Hence pre-,
venting their appearance above the
surface will kill them sooner or lat
er.
3. Plants have greater need for
their leaves and can be more easily
killed in the growing season than
when partially dormant
8. Cultivation in dry time is
most injurious to weeds and beneii-
cial to crops.
4. Avoid the introduction of weeds
in manure or litter from weedy sur
roundings. Some gardeners use no
stable manure on grounds they de.
sire to keep especially clean, relying
on commercial fertilizers and the
blowing under of green crops.
5. After summer crop has ripen-
ened, instead of allowing the land to
grow up to weeds it is often well to
SOW rye or some other crop to cover
the ground and keep them down.
6. Give every part of the farm
clean cultivation every few years
either with a hoed crop or, if nee
essary, with fallow. 2
s. If the ground is kept well oecu'
pied with other crops weeds viii give
much less trouble. Keep meadows
and roadsides well seeded and pillow
land cultivated, except when shaded
by crops.
