Rambler chassis of the Model Forty
five style, equipped with a special
body, has been in use in that city.
The car has been in active service
every day and on one occasion eigh-
teen people including four officers
and fourteen prisoners were carried
after raid on a gambling outfit
three miles outside of the city, AS
a result the driver was censured by
the chief Of police who explained
that the car was only built to carry
but ten passengers.
The vehicle is electrically lighted
and is equipped with the Rambler
spare wheel.
A duplicate of this car will be pur-
chased from Thomas B. Jeffrey &
Co., makers of the Rambler, by the

QuaCk Grass Investigations.

Prof. Andrew Boss, in charge of
the agricultural division at the Col
lege Of Agriculture, University of
Minnesota. is making some impor-
tant Investigations of the quack
grass problem that is interesting so
many farmers throughout the
Northwest. That quack grass has
spread very rapidly during the last
two or three years cannot be denied
The spread has been particularly
rapid on account of the abundant
rainfall of the past few summers
and the fact that there has been
carelessness in cleaning farm seeds.
Steps have been taken to secure
for period of five years the use Of
one of the worst quack grass farms
in the state. This farm is valuable
for experimental purposes for it
grows, in fact, nothing bu. quack
grass. For experimentation, it will
be divided into small fields, and a
number of different experiments
will be tried to discover if possible
the best means of exterminating the
quack grass. Studies will be made
of the comparative cost of different
methods of eradication and those adj
vised which involve the least labor
and the least loss of use of land,
combined with greatest efficiency in
eradication.
Thousands Of farmers will watch
the results of this experiment with
great interest. To aid in gathering
data from parts of the country hav-
ing different soils and different con-
ditions, all farmers having had ex-
perience with this grass are invited
to write of their experience to Prof.
Boss.
