ABOUT WEEDS.

july ana August are Jne mOnIns
when weeds spring up on every
available space, and the danger Is
that the efforts for their destruction
may be relaxed as soon as the crops
are we'll started, says the Philadel-
phia Record. Too much depend
ence is placed on crops to keep
down weeds, and it does happen
that thrifty and quick-growing
crop will give weeds but a small
chance to live, but there are many
kinds of weeds that it will be diff
cult to escape them, as the condi-
tons that are unsuita BILE for some
kinds are very favorable for others.
There are farmers who follow reg
ular routine of work. They cult
vate their corn a certain number oil
times, giving it two or three "work-
ings" until it is Laid bv," and will
not 90 on the field again with Gull
tivator under any circumstances.
1t is on such farms that the stock
Of weeds are propogated, from which
seeds are scattered over the adjOin-
ing farms. 1t should be instilled
into the minds of such farmers that
there is no time for 'laying bv" the
corn if there are even but a few
weeds among the rows. A single
weed left standing may cause a
thousand to spring up next season
The seeds of most of the weed
family retain their vitality for years,
and if buried this year by the pillow
may be brought to the surface wher
the land is again plowed. The va
cant lots of cities and towns con-
tribute largely to the supply OF
weeds, the light seeds not only be-
ing carried to great distances by
the winds, but also by the tops OF
the railroad cars, which distribute
them hundreds of miles aloug the
railroads. The seeds of vegetables
and of wheat, clover and grass, pur-
chased and brought on the farm.
too frequently contain the seeds OF
weeds, because it is impossible tc
detect them or remove them from
the seeds intended for crop. The
manure heap is also a receptacle
fo~ matured weeds, the seeds being
distributed over the fields when
spreading manure; and the fence
corners and other locations contrib
ute their share in keeping the far
mer busy the greater portion of the
growing season in the effort of de-
stroying weeds and saving his crops.
In all communities will be found
at least one or two farmers less pro-
gressive than their neighbors, who
will not completely destroy weeds,
and if they damaged none but them
selves, all would be we'll, but they
entail hundreds of dollars loss on
others and make farming a very
disagreeable occupation to some.
Laws would, no doubt, prevent this
condition of affairs to some extent
if properly enforced, but the most
reliance should be placed on or
gained effort for the complete de-
struction of weeds. Nearly all of
the familiar weeds are ANIMALS, and
can, be kept down and exterminated
when young, and in many cases
where the mower can be used, the
work is easy. The most profitable
plan is to grow crops that require
the hoe, harrow and cultivator, and
not to omit cultivation until the

Editor HERALD:-In last week S
issue Of the tribune there appeared
very insulting and brainless ar
tcle entitled Say Nothing-Saw

father of this article because the off
spring claims the honor Of writing
it hims If; We will be fair and ac-
knowledge that he might have
waitten it. We have frequently
heard that editors had devils on
their staff, but we did not think
they would permit an ignominious,
degraded ass to usurp the local col
umns of their paper, This miscar-
riage of human intelligence has
acknowledged to some of our citi-
zens that he is known as tramp
printer" and he further stated that
he imbibed freely Of corn juice be-
fore going into the "populist joint
mentioned in his article. The meet
ing was composed of some Of the
best citizens of our city and vicin-
itv. 1t is true that the labor Gle
ment was we'll represented. Now,
Mr.. Editor, | ask you in all fair
ness, which is the most desirable as
citizen, an honest laboring man
or low down, drunken cigarette
fend? The writer of the article in
question says that the laboring men
had better stop talking politics, and
cultivate the soil instead of the air.
This is good advice we will admit
if this were true. The men whom
he seeks to abuse are all busily en-
ploved III some way. We would
like to remind this self-appOinted
Judge of laboring mems affairs of
the old saying, nothing needs re-
forming 50 much as The habits of
our acquaintance" and we would
suggest further that labor is respec-
Ted. and is the foundation of all
nealth, and our greatest men once
donned the overallS and jumper,
but in no case did they ever allow
themselves to become the tool or
mouth-piece of plutocracy. He
claims that he could see or hear
nothing but kickers and repudia-
tors, and then winds up his article
oy what he is pleased to term ad-
vice. We would like to remind this
gentleman that wise men change
Cheir minds, but fools never"
In conclusion allow me to give
this young man little advice

Editor HERALD:-While the city

books in search of a mares nest"
would it not be conducive to public
health for them also to Investigate"

Would it not be we'll to expend
little of their surplus funds in re-
moving that stagnant pond which
meets the eye ofvisitors to tho coll
eye, and menaces the health of the
city? Two of the councilmen pass
it daily, but perhaps it has not been
suggested to them that its removal
is a part Of their duty. And while

PREACHING ABOUT SIN.

Probably America contains no
greater thinker than President J.
Stanley Hall, of Clark University.
Johns-Hopklns had him as her
professor of psychology, but Clark
with her millions captured him.
DIR. Hall for many years has occu-
pied "advanced' ground as a re-
ligious thinker. Imagine our sur
prise, therefore, when we heard
him say lately that preachers
should preach more about sin than
they do. He said that not only is
there total depravity, but teetotal
depravity. Men, said he, have not
evoluted upward, but devoluted
downward. Sin today is carried
into art, into literature and should
be attacked from every quartz.
Good for President Hall! The
older he gets he more clearly sees
that many men have sucked the
orange of life and found it's taste
rather nasty" Many of these are
young men who do not think it
good form to be pious. In the
rather vulgar though expressive
phrase of Matthew Arnold, they
have learned to turn up their
noses before they have learned to
keep them clean. There is no
strategy that will meet this condi-
ton of affairs. What is needed,
as DR.. Hall says, is for the preach
ers to talk more about sin. A
bold, impetuous change all along
the lines would rout the enemy
now.

DOES ADVERTISING PAY

1t certainly does when you use
the STAR as the medium. A few
weeks ago we advertised two
houses for rent Both were rented
in a few days. Last week we ad-
vertised a COW for sale and we
could have sold her dozen times.
We advertised boarders wanted at
a private boarding house-they
have the boarders. In fact, it will
pay you every time to advertise in
the STAR.
