BY co. suPT. G. II, GRACE.

Mr.. Earl Robinson VIII begin
q term of school in the Ross dis
trict on the 4th of January.
The Eastern Hand and West
ern Beadle Teachers Association
has engaged Rev. Wizard OF
Huron to deliver lecture at
Washington at their next meet
ing, which will occur Jan. 8.
This step bespeals progress for
the teachers of this association.
Miss Caroline Cook reports
her school perfect in attendance
and with no hardness. This is
ythe second report of the kind re-
ceived fromlMiss Cooks school
in three months. The school at
the present time has the best re-
cord for attendance OF any
school in the county. 1t also
ranks among the frs in grade
of work done.
Miss May McCarl. reports
perfect attendance for one
month, also.
Several teachers, and par
ticularly those lately from other
states now teaching in the coun-
ty, have made inquiry as to the
school holidays recognized by
law in the state. There are but
tour and those are Thanks
giving, Christmas, Decoration
Day, and Fourth of July.
A very serious accident occurred
at Mr.. Raffety's school last Rri-
day during the afternoon inter-
mission. It resulted from the
pld time trick which has been
played on every pupil that has
attended the public schools-yiz:
pushing from the seat by quickly
throwing the, body against that
of the one sitting at the desk.
The victim was Frances Koeck.
She fell from the, seat in such a.
manner as to strike. her head
violently on the floor. 5She was
picked up unconscious, and at
last reports had not regained
consciousness.
The practice of pushing a
Schoolmate from the seat is
tough play; and while it might
be done thousands of times with
out resulting in harm, it is some.
thing that might better be left
undone.
The Superintendent has been

ALL ABOUT WEEDS.
Bulletin Regarding Their Extermina-
ton Has Been Published.

Ames, Aug. 1.-THE weed problem
is one of the most serious which the
successful farmer must meet, Farm
ers are or should be constantly at war
with weeds. Those engaged in this
warfare will find valuable points as to
the kind, nature and best methods OF
destroying weeds in a bulletin just is
sued by the Iowa experiment station at
Ames. About half a hundred of our
common weed pests are described and
illustrated. Crab grass, morning glory,
Russian thistle, Canada thistle, wild
barley, rag weeds, smart weeds and
fox tails are among the species listed.
A considerable space is devoted to
poisonous plants, among them cow
bane, which claims a few victims al
most every year. The bulletin con-
tains 80 pages and 60 cuts. 1t is pop
ular edition of bulletin No. 70 of the
station by L. H Pammel, botanist, en-
titled, "Some Weeds of Iowa" and may
be had free upon application to Prof
G. F. Curtiss. director of the expert
ment station. 1t will be of interest to
teachers and students as a means of
becoming familiar with some of our
common plants as well as a direct help
to the farmer and gardener.

Ames, Aug. 11.-One of the most
troublesome pests which poultry grow
ers have to deal with is the chicken
mite, or chicken tick as it is more
properly called When a flock becomes
infected with this parasite the egg pro-
duction is reduced and in many in
stances the profits are seriously cur
tailed by the pest Matching hens and
young chicks are especially liable to
it's attacks. A bulletin upon this sub
ject by Dr. ]. j. Repp. veterinarian of
the Iowa experiment station , has just
been issued and may be had free by adj
dressing a request to Prof G. F. Cur
tiss, Director of Experiment Station,
Ames, Iowa. 1t contains information
that is of actual money value to those
who grow poultry either upon a large
or small scale. The information is
based upon recent experiments in COM
batting the pest. Kerosene emulsion is
recommended and full directions given
for it's preparation and application.
The emulsion may be prepared at
home at cost of about As cents per
80 gallons, this amount being sufficient
to spray the ordinary farm hen house
once. Altogether the bulletin is prac-
teal and helpful and by following its
directions owners of infested flocks
can exterminate the pests and place
the flock upon paying basis.
