Professor Pammel to Lecture on Nox

| ious Weeds-T alks on Subject.
Professor L. III. Pammel, of the Iowa
experiment station at Ames, was in the
| city this morning on his way to Water
| loo, where he will address a meeting
of supervisors tomorrow on the subject
of the weed investigation which is
now being carried on under official
auspices of the state. The committee
on adulteration of foods, seeds and
other products of the Iowa state de-
partment OF agriculture has selected
Professor Pammel to represent it in
this direction, and he is combining
with his investigation a PROSECUTING
movement which he hopes will have
some effect in stirring up the people
in the agricultural districts to Kidding
the state Of bad weeds. especially
quack grass.
"This quack grass, lis particularly
noxious,'' said Mr.. Pammel this morn
ing, and it is our hope that by getting
the matter we'll before the public we
can get the next legislature to enact
some law which will work toward help
ing us drive quack grass out of the
state. In my address tomorrow at Wa
terloo expect to devote particular at
tention, to this weed. There are Of
course a lot of other weed nuisances,
which include wild mustard, Canada
thistle, wild oats, sweet clover, clover
dodder, alfalfa dodder, field dodder,
COW bane, corn cookie. squirrel-taA,
marsh elder, cookie burr, curled dock,
smooth dock, horse nettle and jimson

whom I am making the investigation,
consists Of ex- Governor S. B. Pack
ard, Professor Curtiss, Of Ames, and
State Dairy Commissioner Wright,
and as we realize the Times Republic-
an to have large circulation among
the agricultural people in the state, a
little notice thru its columns would
help us considerably.
"Quack grass grows along the road
sides, and from this spreads into the
adjoining fields, and as it costs, by or
binary methods of culture, from $40 to
$40 per acre to remove it where it is
in bad patches, it is an expensive feat
ure in farming. 1t has been worst in
the northern part of the state, but we
find it is now becoming quite notice.

the fOaQS because lHe SeeuS are Scdl-

from farm to farm. We want some
legislation which will compel it's re-

vention of it's start, if practicable"
The Iowa experiment station is SENDS
ing out blanks to farmers in various
parts of the state asking them to give
information of noxious weeds and send
it to Professor Pammel, who hopes by
the time the next legislature goes into
session to- be able to furnish enough
datasto convince the state solons that
vigorous methods will be necessary to
prevent quack grass from getting into
the fields.

Cummings, who is interested in the

the way for the city, as municipal

rather put the price of your fares

Instead of the desolate stretches of swamp and tangled thicket and neglected commons there are now verdant lawns and trees and shrubbery and flowers, and, above all. walks and drives and seats where the public may view the river and the sur. roundings which have thus been ere ated.

BILLIONS IN SWAMPS.

If it was both good statesman ship and good business to annex far-Off, frozen Alaska at a cash outlay of 7 million dollars, what is to be said of a plan thatwiIl add to the very heart of the na- tiOnal domain lands that, meas ured in productive capacity, eQ- ual the combined arabic areas Of the fertile states of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois for an investment of nothing at all? If it paid to wait many years for returns upon that investment in the North west how much more profitable will it be to receive an immed- fate income of more than bii- lion d year from the home en- terprise?
 These cOnundrums have been prOpounded to the congress in the Cuise of several bills pFOVid- ing mprehensive pans for the drainage of swamp lands of the country by the national govern aent at the ultimate expense of the settlers thereon. According to the estimates of the geolo- gical survey there are 7S.4737O0 acres of sWamps and Overf.oWed lands in the United States Unof- ficially some engineers express the opinion that upon actual measurement the sWamps will be found to cover a hundred mil- ion acres.-T echnical World Magazine.

and what it meass to humanity ex. posed to such weather conditions, and that consideration is enough in their estimation to put Washington out of the question as a place where anyone would willingly spend the summer.
 At the same time it is recognized by thousands that Washington has not only many advantages as summer living place, but also that it possesses attraction. The temperature is not ignored by such, but they appreciate the fact that not all days are marked summer weather conditions. Even this year, which thus far has been hot and dry, generally speaking as compared with the weather of last year and the year before, has beer marked by periods of cool days and nights, and at times an atmosphere that had tonic quality, such as one is accustomed to experience in more northern attitudes.
 Then there is the charm of the city in it's summer garb, the most beautiful to be found in any city in the world. and that beauty not alone in the adorn- ment of one section, but in it's general extent throughout the entire area. There Is refreshment to be found in with trees whose foliage screens side- walks and even the pavement from the heat of the sun.
