The Cost OF Weeds.
Country Gentleman

Weeds have been described as plants
a field occupied by another as a crop
makes the intruder a weed. Crab grass in
a cotton field is a pest that consumes much
of the time of the cotton cultivator; and
yet the planter declares thar 1t makes ex-
cellent hay. A list of weeds gathered from
experiment stations enumerateS about e50
different plants, and this list includes crab
clover. quack grass, pawpaw, tulip mint and
many others that may have their uses in
their proper place. which arc a positive
nuisance when they interfere with a growth
desired by the cultivator.
And yet this list. large as 1t Is, does not
include the Russian thistle. a new impor-
tatiOn, which is rapidly oyerrunning the
Dakotas; and 1t is claimed, whether accu-
rately or not, that in an area of $4,000
suffer q loss of five bushels per acre. IL this
is SO, the lowest possible estimate of value
per bushel would make the loss more than
q million dollars. Truly an expensive i'm
portation. All Imports withdraw their
value from domestic resources, but most Of
them render in some form a quid pro quo.
These foreign acceSSionS not only cause
great present loss but threaten to increase
and Overrun the country, choking out use
full production TO the extent OF many mill
lions annually. If taken in hand a few years
ago this pest could have been stamped out
with comparative ease. Now it is a difficult
problem for which farmers are beginning
TO seek a solution seriously. Already 4 Da-
kota member of Congress has introduced a
bill. appropriating a million dollars for it's
extlrpation. II Congress cannot cOnStitu-
tionally or equitably vote money to aid in
the extinction of the gypsy moth in Massa-
chusetts, | scarcely see how legislators can
consistently make appropriations toward
stamping out the Russian thistle in Dako-
Ia Practical common sense might suggest
a solution of such economic questions in
two ways: First, in the fact that in each
district there is likely to be some weed or
insect or disease affecting animal or vege-
table life with which the individual cannot
cope, and which dcfies State jurisdiction by
crossing incontinently State lines, and, sec
ond, that though now a limited area is
affected. there is danger of devastation of
the whole country. In the consideration
of such questions breadth and comprehen-
SivenesS of view, as well as practical sense
and just reason, are requisite.

Ships Named Resolution.

No fewer than four warships named
Resolution have come to an untimely end
by battle, fire or wreck. The first bore
the flag Of Blake in his great victory off
the North Foreland over Van Tromp
Sept %, 1859, and in Monks equally
great success off the same headland July
IS, 1865, she was burned by flreship, the
only one lost, as against 20 sail taken or
sunk. Forty years later the Resolution
engaged squadron Of six ships off the
Spanish coast and was run ashore and
burned by Captain Mordaunt, son of the
famous Earl of Peterborough, to save her
from falling into the hands of the enemy.
Only four years afterward, 1910, near
the same spot, off Barcelona, a third ship
of the name was driven ashore by storm
and became a total wreck. Finally, in
Hawkes. great victory off Quiberon, when
the French lost four ships of the line de-
stroyed and two taken, the Resolution
and Essex ran upon a sand bank and were
lost, together with portion of their crews.
We should, however, put to the credit of
the name the success that attended her
under Captain Cooks command on his
