PLAN
DETERMINATION
THE CANADIAN THIS TILE TIE
PEST OF THE FARMING
COMMUNITIES.

The pest of the farming community
the Canadian thistle, is beginning to
become nuisance to the farmers in
Wapello county and concerted &C
ton toward their determination is be.
ing considered in some places.
This annoying member of the plant
life is responsible for much of the
trouble the farmer encounters in the
routine of his vocation as a tiller OF
the soil. Complaints from the farm
ers north of the city are beginning to
be heard and an effort to subdue this
pest and thereby rid the community
OF the nuisance is to be made.
1t is urged by some that if the
farmer individually rid his premises
and in like manner the roadway along
side his property of the thistle and
burn them, in great measure
the pest would be conquered. There

penalty for allowing the weed tc

SOUTHERN REDUCES
OPERATING EXPENSE

The manner in which railroads have
Curtailed their operating expenses to
meet the reduced income during the
period CT depression is shown from the
statement Of the vice president of the
Southern Railway Company.
During last July the operating ex-
penses Of the road decreased Sc42. "a. as
compared with the cost of operating in
July, 1907. This was Accomplished with
out sacrificing the efficiency or c1uiD-
ment and through it'the income OF the
road showed an increase Of sos GOO as
compared with July Of last year.
II has been cOntended that the ability
OF Southern Pacific and Urion Pacific
the Hartman roads. 70 pay dividends
and show gains in EARNINGS was through
too conservative maintenance Of their
property. Mr.. Hartman boldly denied
this theory. and now the Southern rail-
way gives the same results and holds 10
the same contention with the Western
maEnate
IN the ten-ysar period previous to 1905
the average cost Of maintenance OF the
Southern railway was $500 a mile per
snnum- Last year the amount paid was
sl,0l5 nile.
