To Destroy ThistIes.
~NON-NONN.NN~~


Salt or kerosene, applied after the
clump of thistles is cut down, will de-
stroy them, but such method Is slow
and costly where the field is in posses
sion of the pest. Many other methods
have been suggested for their appll-
cation. A piece Of root stock an inch
long IL left in the soil will make a
foundation for new crop. A piece
2 inches long will grow to 10 feet
in six months, and weigh or a pounds,
and from each small piece from forty
to fifty heads will grow An old rule
Us to 'plow the land in June, drag
twice in July, plow 2 or 3 inches deep
two or three times In August and har.
row each time" Any tool that will
cut off the tops In August or early In
September will destroy them, as they
cannot live If the tops are cut down.
Experiments made at the Illinois sta
tion succeeded in completely exterml-
mating them by observing the follow
ing rules: % Cut the thistles when
in full bloom, as close to the ground
as possible, and then plow inches
deep, sowing millet or Hungarian grass
seeding heavily, and then harrow. (2)
In September pillow the mlllet under
and then seed heavily with rye. Plow
the rye under in May and again seet
to millet or Hungarian grass (or plant
a hoe crop, such as cabbages or pota
toes). (3) Continue the close cult

Frank Andrews of the United StateB
Agricultural Department, writes: "In
hauling products from farms in wagons
there are opportunities for saving
in cost In many regions in the United
States the Improvement of road, or
a short, rough section of a road, would
allow much larger loads to be hauled
than at present. If it were possible
to Increase the average weight of a
wagon load of cotton in the United
States from three bales, as it now Is, to
four bales, without increasing the cost
of hauling the load, the saving on the
crop equal to the one picked in 1905
would amount to 100000; and if the
average load of wheat, now fifty-five
bushels, were increased by twenty
bushels. the saving increased in hauling
Il crop like that Of 1903 would be more
than SSOOO,O00."

TURNER RECITAL ENJOYED
Appreciative Audience Heard Well
Known St Paul Bass0 Last
Evening.

A quite large and appreciative au-
dience filled the auditorium of the
Presbyterian church last evening. on
the occasion of the appearance Of Mr..
E. r. Turner of st. Paul, in song re-
cital, given as previously advertised,
under the auspices of the Young Peo-
pies Christian Endeavor society of the
Presbyterian chuch.
The program, being diversified, was
especially pleasing. It consisted OF
vocal solos, readings and recitations.
Mr.. Turner has a deep, well-toneo
voice and in his several selections
showed thorough training and sub
tilty Of expression rarely found in q
heavy voice. Mrs. Vanderhoef's ac-
compartments were of their usual
standard of perfection.
Miss Patterson gave two readings,
and the encores showed a deep appre-
citation Of talent unalloyed. The vocal
duet by Miss Williams and Miss De-
Camp, brought out once again the fact
that Grand Forks has singers of rare
ability. Their voices blended harmoni-
Ously, and they received hearty en-
cores. Miss Pauline Allen also favor
ed the company with a vocal selection,
in which attracted the genuine ad-
miration of those present. Her Sc
lections have a freshness which finds
ready response in the human heart.
Mrs. Irish presided at the Baldwin for
the vocal duet, which Mrs. Allen Of
ficiated during the last number.
