Got Rid Of the Mustard.

Good news to farmers with mustard
ridden fields is contained in the results
of experiments conducted by O. c..
Gregg, superintendent of the state
farmers's institute on his farm in
Lynd, Lyon county. He says that the
experiments tried this spring estab
lished absolutely that mustard may be
killed by spraying with a solution of
sulphate of iron, and that the spray
ing will not injure the grain.
This will mean much to the farmers
of the northwest. The grain farmer
has had continual battl e with the
wild mustard. The pest spreads
rapidly and few seeds in field will,
if not kept down, cover the entire
field in a couple of years. Once
mustard taken hold Of field it has
been almost impossible to eradicate
it. Where it has not got too strong a
hold, picking is resorted to and dur
ing June some farmers spend several
days with as many women and chill
dren as possible, picking the weeds
from the fields.
But when the mustard has covered
the field picking is useless and cutting
will of course destroy the crop. Turn
ing the field into meadow or pasture
is no better, for the seeds will lie in
the ground for years, and when the
turf is plowed up again the pest will
be as prominent as ever.
Therefore the discovery will mean
much to the farmer. Mr.. Gregg says
that he sprayed fields with the sui
phate of iron solution when the grain
was about four inches high and the
mustard had about three leaves. This
destroyed the mustard and did not
injure the grain. Some people, he
said, believed that it made the grain
better, but he had not been able to
verify this from personal observation.
He says that it may be little trouble
to arrange some machinery that will
do the work of spraying satisfactorily
and economically, but there is nc
doubt that the solution does the work
If the land is titled all the seeds will
/ sprout in two or three years and the
field is redeemed Paul Pioneer

Magnificent 5000 Building on tho
55%S> Minnesota State Fair
4 ~. Grounds.

81 Although much has been said about
the new live stock amphitheater on
the Minnesota State Fair Grounds,
many people are not yet aware that
): the state is to have the largest and
finest building of it's class in the coun-
, try. OF all the great structures de-
signed for cattle shows, horse shows
and similar exhibitions, not one in
America has the capacity of the Min
nesota amphitheater and with the ex-
!: ception of the Madison Square Gar
den in New York City none has cost
as much. Other state fairs will not be
in it at all in comparison with Mime
sofa. Madison Square Garden in
New Yark has a total length of 80
feet, a total width of 1914 feet as COM
pared with $50 by 200 feet, the dimen-
sions of the Minnesota building; and
the arena is also little smaller. The
big Chicago International amphithea-
ter lacks so feet of the length of the
Minnesota building and the arena is
20 feet smaller each way.
Entirely completed the Minnesota
building will cost $4,000. The walls
are of solid brick, covered with cement
plaster and enormous steel girders or
arches carry the roof timbers on
which are laid handsome red tiles.
During the state fair, the amphi-
theater will be used for the judging of
cattle and horses, for the three great
auction sales of pure bred cattle and
for any other display purposes which
may be found desirable. On the
opening day, Monday, Sept. B, at
HOO a. m.,, the building will be dedi-
Gated in a great address by Jas. j.
Hill. During the entire week there
will be music in the amphitheater and
it will be the center OF attraction for
guests at the fair.
Half fare rates have been made on
all railroads.

P.oIIHTax law Z osted..@>:.

The poll tax law, which so many
persons persist in and in many cases
succeeded in lodging each year, was
given q test in the town of St. Johns
recently and there is at least one per-
son in that town who realized to his
sorrow that it is not a very good fnan-
cial undertaking to refuse to work
poll tax when ordered to do SO by a
road overseer who deems it his duty
to see that the law is enforced. The
person referred to is Lewis Smith, who
resides on section Is in the town of St.
Johns, and the road overseer for that
district is Robt. j. Somerville. Mr..
Somerville had notified Mr.. Smith
several times verbally to appear on
the road to work his poll tax but the
latter did not appear. He finally
resorted to written notice but with the
same result. Having tried every
available manner time and again to
get Mr.. Smith to work out his poll tax
or pay the cash for same without any
beneficial results the road overseer
grasped the idea that there was state
law that brought tax dodgers to time
and he proceeded to take advantage
.of it. Complaint was made by Over
seer Somerville before Justice w. A.
Strand, of, Pennock, and the necessary
papers were issued and placed in the
hands of constable for service. The
trial was set for Saturday July 14th,
and the parties appeared on that day.
The defend ant asked for jury trial
and a jury was drawn. The trial pro.
ceeded and after the Introduction OF
an abundance of evidence on both
sides the case went to the jury. This
noble body of twelve, men deliberated
upon the evidence adduced for some
time and finally agreed to disagree-a
rather strange coincidence. The
plaintiff at once demanded that a new
jury be drawn, but the defendant
came to the conclusion that he would
save considerable time and expense
by etfecting settlement at once and
he did so, his experience costing him
in the neighborhood of $2l.t0, or
enough to pay his poll tax for the
next fourteen years. There is an old
saying that ''experience is dear
teacher but some people are from
Missouri and you have to show them,
as in this case. 1t would be nice
thing for the cause of "good roads,
if the country had more overseers like
Mr.. Somerville, who spares no one
when it comes to working out poll tax
not even his next door neighbour

to him and the republican party two
years ago. Every pledge has been 10y
ally and splendidly redeemed. The
judgment of the people should become OF
approval and hearty good will. In this
country the people decide who shall rep
resent them i'll important positions and
decide who shall enact legislation. All
parties are not nearly good but it rests
with the people TO elect that party which
is nearer right.
The last congress of the United
States had many important questions
to Zeal with. The president recommends
ed certain questions for consideration
No ccngrcs. in the history of the coun-
try ever accomplished more than the
last one, except congresses which had
to deal with war.
Mr.. Fairbanks paid a tribute to the
members of the Minnesota delegation
i'll senate and house, stating that no
state was more ably or creditably rep
resented. iyc said that Hon. Knute Mel
soH was Il man who gave to his duties
the most careful thought and his excel
lent judgment was safe guide in mat
ters affecting national legislation. Mr..
Clapp, although a new man, has won
the confidence and respect of his asso-
ciatcs in the highest legislative body
in the world. The congressional dele
cation was praised.
The speaker referred to the rate reg
ulation bill adopted by congress. The
aim of congress Is to put a stop to
those evils which the people have long
had to contend against. : The tariff was
next touched upon.s Judging from the
prosperity hereabouts he should say
that the tariff had been doing pretty
well. The country has prospered more
in the past nine years than ever be-
fore. Are we in mood without due
deliEeration to overthrow policy which
has brought about this prosperity. The
fact that the country is great is due
to the fact that the American people
have minds. Our greatness is not due
to the natural elements but to the in
telligenee of the people. The party tina +
had the wisdom to write protection in
the national statutes will have the
courage to revise the tariff whenever
conditions demand it.

will not be beneficial to
