QOACK GRASS.
A Dangerous Weed Widely Distrib-
ntcd EmNt md Mrst.

A Dangerous Wred widely Distrib-
utcd En>t aud West.
Qu3ek grass. together with The wheat
GRASSES, which very nearly resemble it,
is found in most parts If Iowa, east
ern North America and the Rocky
mountains. Tie Western wheat grass,
which is the most valuable of these
grasses. ranges from the EASTERN slopes
of The Rockies into western Iowa.
Some of these quack and wheat
grasses are considered of value rs tod-
der. hut in the majority Of cases they
are looked upon us dangerous weeds,
the fact being that they are of value
in pasture land. but are very undesira-
BILE in mixed farming and on arabic
land. In all parts of Iowa farmers are
viewing with considerable apprehen-
sion the steady increase of the weed
generally known as quaek grass.
What II Is.
INQUIRIES as to the nature of quack
grass and the best means OF getting
rid of it are frequent, and for this
reason information in regard 10 THIS
grass has been issued in recent bulle-
tin by Professor Pammel OF the state
experiment station. Quack grass is
stated TO be a perennial, and its most
impressive and important feature is
many jointed, creeping root stock
which makes it very tenacious OF IRE
and extremely hard TO destroy, 1t mas
long been known as a troublesome
weed in Europe and eastern North
America. and has probably been COM
mon in the eastern part of the United
States for Il century Quaek grass IS
commonly and widely distributed from
Manitoba, Minnesota and western
Iowa to Arkansas aud Texas.
How to Exterminnte.
Ouack grass, considered as a weed,
can be exterminated by proper meth
DDS of cultivation. Henry Hatch
saws: This grass grows from the
roots as well as from the seed, and
as the roots get a start very quickly
IN wet weather lleN SHoAib " 40
turbed only during a dry spell. NO
matter how small or short the root
may be. it Is sure to grow If torn loose
from the parent plant and deposited IN
moist soil Pillow the field rather shall
low, then harrow 1t thoroughly with
common lever harrow or spring tooth
tool If one is handy This will then
leave a large share of the roots lying
on the surface, and after few drying
DAYS they can be raked Into windows
and burned. If the work does not
seem to be through in the spring pillow
again and q little deeper than before,
then harrow, rake and burn as before.
Probably few roots will escape and
possibly q few seeds will yet be In the
soil. so, II 1t can be done. some cult
waited crop had better be grown In the
field following this treatment and all
plants that survive cultivation be de-
stroyed with hoes. This grass Is as
hard to destroy as almost anything
that grows and the only way to do it
Is to take everything out OF the soil in
the way of roots, seeds, etc, and com
pletely destroy them by burning or rot
ting away In pile

ST. KlLDA ISLAND.
The Natives Have Colds Only When
Visited by Foreigners.

visited by Foreigners.
There are many places where it IS
impossible to catch cold because there
is no cold to catch. There is st. Kilda,
that lonely rocky island which was
visited by Dr. Johnson when he and
Boswell were making their famous
tour of the Hebrfdes. There are about
a hundred inhabitants on the island
The coasts are so precipitous that for
eight months In the year 1t is prac-
tically inaccessible Several vessels
from the mainland call there during
the summer. And, strange to say
whenever q ship reaches the island
from the mainland every inhabitant,
even to the infants, is seized with
cold. This fact has been known for
more than 200 years and was of great
interest to DR. Johnson, who was skep-
teal concerning it.
The question of this st. kilda cold
long puzzled men, who never dreamed
that 1t was an infectious disease and
that without the possibility of infec-
ton 1t is impossible to catch it, no mat
ter what the exposure may be. That Is
to say, ii is due u u micro organism,
and without the presence of this micro
organism the disease cannot be con-
tracted.-New York Herald

who are obliged to get their plants

II they can get plants near by or grow

Why not take time by the forelock

in the fall, when you have plenty Of
time, even if you do not wish to fruit
them until a year later? l am sure it
would be better to place the plants
where you want them to grow in the
fall, where they will spring into growth
as soon as the frost is out of the
ground, instead Of digging and setting
the plants in the spring just at a time
when they wish to grow. Try 1t and

THE BOURBON NEWS.
SWIFT CHAMP, EDITOR AND OWNER.
Entered at the Paris, KY, postofice as
Second-class Mail Matter.
Complaint of Conditions in Paris.

Under the above heading the Lex
ington Herald publishes communi-
cation from Paris signed ''X. Y. H."
The article contained clipping from
THE NEWS that appeared recently
about the proper precaution not taken
by our citizens to prevent burglars
from entering their homes, etc. Fhe
article further says:
son every Saturday night since
February, 1904, houses have been en-
tered in Paris, KY, and to date not
one arrest made by policemen OF
Paris.
"Such excuses are given as en-
closed. No paper in Paris has had as
much to say of it as citizens think
should be said. What do you think
of it? Stir us up, one year is long
time. Simply state the case, your re-
marks will benefit Paris"
Houses in Paris may have been en-
tered every Saturday night since 1904,
but tx. Y. H." is not posted in re-
gard to the number OF arrests that
have made since that time. We know
of fifteen arrests made by the officers
in the past year for burglary in this
city, and eleven of that number con-
victed and two are awaiting trial.
There may be more on record, for we
have not Investigated. The writer
seems to criticise the Paris papers for
not saying more on this subject.
what's the use? We have time and
again asked our "city fathers to
take some action in regard to the re-
organization of the police force, to
open a night Office and put more men
on the force, to have some police
regulations, etc. There is no interest
taken in the police force by the
Mayor, the head of the force, or by
the City Council.
The four members of the force are
as good officers as can be found in
any city in Kentucky, but it is simply
an impossibility for four men to
patrol town as large as Paris the
way it should be patroled. We have
two men on the day force and two on
the night force. Our Chief, Geo. M.
Hill, is as efficient as a Chief could
be. Don't blame the police force, but
put it where it belongs-on the Mayor
and Board of Council.
We do not need the Lexington
Herald to stir US up on the "Condi-
lions of Paris" We can attend to
the stirring up down here, let the
Herald attend to the Lexington bur-
ela,.ios and horrible murders that are
constantly occurring in that city, and
we will do our best to attend to this
end of the line.
The condition of things in Paris
has just reached a stage where the
people must act or let things remain
where they are and have been for
several years.
