DEATH TO NOXIOUS WEEDS
\ Discovery That Will Make
Canadian Thistle and Other
Pests Lie Down and Die

The death knell of Canadian thistle
wild mustard and cookie burr AND
other kindred weeds has been sound
ed, if the discovery for their destruc.
ton said to have been made by Prof
R. A. Moore of the college of agri'
culture experiment station OF the
University of Wisconsin, proves
practicable.
He has just announced the results
OF a series of experiments made by
him and under his supervision by
several farmers in various parts OF
Wisconsin, and has proved by these
experiments that 10 per cent solution
OF sulphate of iron, applied at the
right time and under the proper
conditions, will kill all the wild
mustard in a field of grain without in
juring stalk of grain.
The discovery comes as the reward
of many years of research, carried on
by experts and by practical farmers
in all parts of the world, for a method
of determination which would kill the
weeds without retarding or injuring
the crop or poisoning it for the stock
to which the stalks were fed. These
experiments together with the demand
that the process shall be inexpensive,
are all met in the present discovery.
While the experiments so far made
with the sulphate of iron have had
special reference to wild mustard,
against which the farmers Of the
northwest have continual battle, re-
suits indicate that the spraying will
be an equally effective enemy of all
pests, cookie burr, smart weed,
Spanish needles, and that worst OF all
pests. the Canadian thistle.
Heretofore it has been impossible
to eradicate wild mustard, the con-
slant fight being to keep it down. If
left alone few seeds will cover many
acres inside of two years. One OF the
chief values of the discovery to the
agriculturalist is the fact that the
solution is cheap enough to be
practicable.
To spray one acre of grain requires
about 100 pounds Of iron sulphate
dissolved in fifty-four gallons of
water. Machinery for distributing
the solution over the fields will soon
be found on the market in response
to the demand.

Judge Smith Sustained.

The Judgment of Judge Frank j..
Smith, presiding in the district court
for Ada caunty in the case of John
Morris VS.. John Lemp is modified
In an opinion Of the supreme court.
Action was started by plaintiff to
collect balance on account. Judg-
ment was in favor of plaintiff and
defendant moved for new trial,
which was denied and an appeal was
then taken from the Judgment and
the order denying new trial.
The contention of the plaintiff in
this case to the motion Of defendant
for new trial was on technical
grounds. The case was in the Third
judicial district and the judge from
the Seventh district was called in to
sit. The defendant procured from
Judge Smith an order granting ex-
tension of time for filing statement
and affidavit on motion for new
trial The plaintiff contended the
motion for new trial was faulty be-
cause this statement and affidavit
was not filed within the Today per-
iod and argued that under the stat
ute no court or judge had any juris-
diction to make an order extending
the time for preparing statement and
filing affidavits except 1.-The court in
which the action is pending or a
judge thereof"
The supreme court holds that ar
gument not tenable and sys:
where judge of one judicial
district is called into another district
for the purpose of trying some par
ticular or specific case, such judge,
for the purposes of that case, has
all the power and authority of the
court within and for such judicial
district or of the Judge thereof, and
may make any and all orders proper
or necessary in granting extensions
of time for preparing and presenting
statements and bills of exceptions or
filing affidavits on motion for new
trial"
