A lady reader writes and wants to
know how to rid her garden Of horse
radish, which, she says, has so spread
that it threatens to monopolize the
whole garden. We have never had to
tackle this proposition and can only
suggest the remedies used to get rid
of quack grass, Canada thistles and
'other pests. which. like the horse rad
ish, are propagated by suckers under
ground. If this garden lot can be put
in some crop which will permit of con-
tinuous hoeing and cultivation during
the entire growing season. never per-
hitting the horse radish shoots to get
two inches high. it will probably finish
them up. for unless a plant can grow
above ground it will not make roots
and suckers under ground. Another
plan would be to smother it out by
heavy fertiliZing and then growing a
crop of sowed corn or sorghum on the
lot We think two years of this sort
Of treatment would finish it up. There
is one other way, and that is to let the
stuff grow and start horse radish
factory. The product is always in good
demand

One of the most interesting expert
ments being conducted under the SUI
pervision of the agricultural depart
ment is connected with the improve
ment of the grade of tobacco raised in
the northern states. 1t has been DEM
onstrated both in Connecticut and Wis
consin that where the tobacco plant is
grown under canvas of light cotton
cloth the value of the product is raised
from % cents pound to 1928. The
first cost of so preparing an acre Of
ground is about $400. The conditions
of warmth and humidity thus obtained
enable the Connecticut or Wisconsin
grower to produce a grade Of leaf
which equals the finest product of Su-
matra. The financial results are so
gratifying that the plan is likely to be
carried out on large scale.

If some men with very limited cap
ital want a pointer as to how to get
into business let them go into north
ern Wisconsin or Minnesota and get a
piece of the cheap land up there and
just raise Strawberries and potatoes.
The strawberries, being raised so far
north, come into market after all the
other strawberries are gone and, raised
up there, are of the very choicest flavor
and quality, commanding high prices,
for the strawberry is the one berry
which people always want worse after
they have had them and can no longer
get them. The best potatoes in the
world are also raised on the new tim
Der lands Of that section. Go up there
and try Strawberries potatoes, cows
and chickens and make living easier
than you have ever done working at
$175 a day. Fuel is thrown in.

The coming farmer in the corn belt
will demand his silo as much as he
will his barn. Recent experiments
show that silage is very superior ra-
ton for the fattenng steer as well as
being almost indispensable as a ration
for the dairy cow. The fact is that
corn put in the silo and fed is worth
so much more and will go so much fur
Their than corn fed the old way that its
use will become almost imperative.

We are in receipt of letter from a
successful hog raiser who claims to
have always been exempt from hog
cholera and attributes his exemption
to the providing Of the best sanitary
conditions for his pigs in the matter Of
food, shelter, bedding and yards, claim
ing that hog cholera is as purely a
filth disease with the hog as is the
same disease with man. While we Sc
riously doubt if even the most immacu-
late sanitary conditions will in all
cases secure immunity from this trou-
BILE there is still so much to commend
in this method of treatment that we
give our friends antidote. The hog is
not naturally dirty animal if he is
given half a chance. The trouble is
that most men will not give him a
chance to be clean.
