FIGHTING WEEDS.
Methods by Which They May Be
Eradicated.

A writer in the Agricultural Epito-
mist suggests the following on fight
ing weeds:
1. Practice rotation. Certain weeds
follow certain crops; when the weeds
get too strong, change crops.
2. Change the method of cultivat-
ing. Pillow deeper or shallower, or use
a different harrow or cultivator.
8. Cultivate frequently with light
surface tools.
T. Sow clean seed.
5. Don't let weeds run to seed on
the manure pile or anywhere else on
the farm.
s. Hogs and sheep will clean dip the
weeds on foul fallow land. 1t is said
that weed will not terminate after
a sheep has cropped it.

PERSONAL RIGHTS
AND PROHIBITION

The Pensacola Journal of Sunday
contained a long editorial captioned
The Question of Prohibition and
long winded for lengthy discussion,
especially az the esteemed Journal
charges its opponents % cents per
inch TO publish anti prohibition ar
tiCles. However. the whole matter
seems TO be boiled down in the fol-
lowing extract from the said article:
In the matter Of prohibition Of the
that a man shall not drink whisky.
but it does say that he shall not sell
whisky"
In other words. the prohibitionists
Dc not oppose a mans dTirking-in

a drink if ne so desires. But they do
oppose the sale of liquor.

say he shall not buy a drink. II he
has Q legal right 10 drink liquor. he
certainly has a legal right TO buy it.
and the curtailment Of such privilege.
II would seem from the Journals own
argument, is an infringement upon
personal rights.
The Journal evidently means that
it is better for a man to send away
