Gets CONTROL OF
WESTERN UNION
American Telephone Co, Buys
Stock in Telegraph Go,
MAY INCREASE CAPITALIZATION

George eould's Holdings and Outside
Interests Taken over to Make Huge
Merger Effective.
New York, Nov 1.-THE control Of
the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany passed to the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph company, and a
long step was taken toward the merg-
ing Of the telephone and telegraph
companies into a corporation with
capitalization of nearly S1,00000O,OOO.
The American Telephone and Tele-
graph company controls the Bell tele-
phone systems throughout the coun-
try.
Announcement of the requirement
OF the Western Union-for years
known as Could property-by the
American Telephone and Telegraph
company came from Boston.
From a trustworthy source it was
learned that the Western Union stock
acquired by the telephone company
was held by George J. Gould and rep
resents about 25 per cent of the total
capital of the Western Union. Stock
also acquired from other sources. it is
said. brings the total amount of West
ern Union acquired by the telephone
company up to about 2S per cent of
the outstanding capital of the Western
Union
While no official announcement IS
made as to the price paid for the
Gould shares. it is learned that the
figure was in the neighborhood Of SS5.
Omcial denial was given of reports
that R. C. Clowry, president, and J.
C. Barclay, assistant general manager,
would resign from the Western Union.
It was reported that William II. Baker,
formerly vice president and general
manager Of the Postal Telegraph COM
pany. would become general manager
of the Western Union.
The acquisition of the Western I'm
ion and the recent absorption of vari-
GUS district Bell Telephone companies
in various parts of the country indi-
Gates a large increase in the present
capitalization of the parent company.
the American Telephone and Tele-
graph company.
The present capital stock of the
American Telephone and Telegraph
company is S3OOOOO,OOO In stock and
S22S. 100000 in bonds. The Western
Union has a capitalization Of s125,00O.-
600 in stock and s4O,OOO,OOO in bonds.
Omcials of the Postal Telegraph
company state that their company will
remain on an Independent basis.

every four years or SO. They are very
fond Of the roots and stems of peren-
nial weeds, especially those Of quack
grass and morning glory, and they
win continue to root until the last
piece is brought to light and eaten.
Where all the fields are not fenced
hog tight a temporary pen may be
used. This can be moved about over
the patches Of quack grass and morn
ing glory until they are destroyed.
The weed problem is not nearly so
difficult as many people believe. The
remedy for weeds is good farming.
and when good farming becomes the
rule weeds win largely disappear. In
a way weeds are more Of a benefit
than an injury. If it were not for
them we would often be tempted to
let the cornBeld go a few days longer
before cultivating and thus fail to get
as large a crop as we might otherwise
have done. Il is the cultivation that
the presence of the weeds forces upon
us that makes plant food available
and prevents the escape Of capillary
moisture and so enables the plants to
put their best efforts into producing a
maximum yield.

combat is their great seed producing
capacity 1t is not difficult to kin one
formal plant. but no sooner is that
done than another springs up to take
its place
Early fall plowing gets rid Of many
of these weeds by turning them un-
der before the seed is ripe. Some Of
the seed which is ripe will grow up,
and the plants will be killed by the
first freezes Of winter. If the field is
narrowed early i'm the spring many Of
the remaining seed can be induced to
start. The more weeds that come up
at this time the better, since they will
be killed in the subsequent prepara
ton Of the land for planting.
There is no better implement for
killing weeds before corn comes up
than the harrow. Narrowing is a
cheap operation. since so many acres
can be gone over in day. The more
times cornheld can be gone over
with the harrow before the corn comes
up the better IN narrowing to kill
weeds care should be taken not to do
the work when the weather is cloudy
or tine ground too wet or the weeds
viii be transpiauted rather than killed.
In regard to The value of narrowing
growing corn opinions differ greatly.
1t is almost impossible. however to
harrow corn without destroying some
of it. 1t is a waste Of time to test
the seed and planter with the idea of
getting a good stand and then harrow
part of it out Unless the weeds are
very bad the harrow had better be
put away in the machine shed as soon
as the corn begins to appear above
the surface Of the ground.
Thorough cultivation from the time
the corn is two or three inches high
until 1t is ready to "lay by" will do
much to keep the weeds in check. The
deep early civilizations viii bring up
the seeds that have been lying dor
mant at the bottom of the furrow
slice. These viii germinate and be
killed by the later CIVILIZATIONS Fox
tail may grow up and 80 to seed after
the crop gets too large to cultivate.
1t is often o good plan to sow rape in
corn at the last cultivation This will
come up quickly and shade the ground
so completely that it viii prevent the
growth of annual weeds almost en-
tirely
Annual weeds seldom do much dam
ace i'm small grain. If the grain is
drilled in on a properly prepared seed
bed it viii get such a start that most
Of the weeds viii be smothered out
and die for lack of plant food and
light One annual that is sometimes
troublesome in graindelds is mustard.
Since this weed is easily killed by
cultivation It seldom goes to seed
in cornfelds. Consequently when
small grain follows corn there is littl
mustard seed i'm the soil except that
which is sown with the oats.
There is another annual. or rather
winter annual. that is much harder to
eradicate than those mentioned so far.
This is squirreltail grass. so called be-
cause Of It's fuzzy heads. The seeds
are very light and are attached to
long boards, which cause them to be
carried for considerable distances by
the wind
Squlrreltail grass is not troublesome
in cultivated fields but often In

an extent as to make them almost
worthless. Moving as soon as the

WN attempting to produce large
crops the farmer dnds that he
has many enemies working
against him. Among the worst
Of these are weeds one of the great
est problems that confront the farm
er is that of keeping his crops free
from these pests. After Il field has
been so handled and prepared that a
large amount Of plant food is in availa-
BILE form, with plenty Of moisture to
dissolve it, it is poor policy to allow
weeds to seize this food and moisture
and convert them into a worthless
product
Weeds may be divided iAtO three
general classes-annuals, biennials and
perenniaIs. Annual weeds are propo-
gated entirely by seeds and live but
one year. An exception to this is
found in the winter ANNALS. which
come up in the fall, live through the
winter as small plants and produce
seed the following spring.
Among the most troublesome annual
weeds are the foxtails These are
grasslike plants that are too common
to need any special description. The
fact that makes them so difficult to
Milford chronicle., 1909-11-19

heads appear will not kill the plant,
but if kept up throughout the season
will prevent it from producing seed.
In bad cases about the only remedy is
to plow mp the field and put it in to
some cultivated crop. Where a regu-
lar rotation which includes the mead
ows and pastures is followed this
weed can be readily kept in check. A
point that must be carefully attended
to in preventing the spread Of this as
we'll as of any other weed is to keep
the roadsides and fence corners from
raising weed seed enough each year
to keep the entire farm seeded.
Another troublesome annual in some
sections of the country is the Russian
thistle. form of umbleweed. BY
rolling across the fields after it ripeus
it scatters its numerous seeds very
widely. These weeds are usually not
so plentiful but that they can be easily
destroyed by pulling before they form
seed. BY doing this they may be kept
from becoming thick enough TO do any
serious damage.
Biennial weeds live through the first
winter ard produce seed the second
year Of their life They die as soon as
the seed is ripe The common bull and
prairie tIi le and hurdock are CON
spicuous examples of this class Of
weeds. RianuilIs are not difficult to
subdue. Tn cultivated fields they sell

trolled by cutting Off below the sur
face Of the ground just at the begin
ming of bl.~soming time Sheep and
goats VIII rid a pasture Of these and
all other troublesome weeds.
The hardest class of weeds to com
bat are the perennials. These do not
depend entirely upon seed production
to spread themselves. but are propa-
gated by means of underground
stems. These stems extend along be-
Meath the surface of the ground. send

milkweed and quack grass. These
weeds are 'ound on all parts Of the
farm-in cultivated fields, in small
grain and I'm meadows and pastures.
The only way to kin them is 10 0e-
strov the roots or starve them by pre-
venting leaf growth This is much
more easily said than done. Where
the weeds occur only in small patches
the desired result may be accomplished
by covering them with a thick layer
OF straw. In a dry season thorough
cultivation will discourage them.
though it will seldom eXterminate
them entirely When the ground is
wet cultivation will do more to spread
perennial weeds than TO kill them.
