combat is their great seed producing
capacity. It is not difficult to kill one
formal plant, but no sooner r. that
done than another springs up - take
its place.
Early fall blowing gets rid OF many
Of these weeds by turning them I'M
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. II the field Is
narrowed early in 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 q
cheap operation, since so many acres
can be gone over in a day. The more
times cornf1eld 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 the ground too wet, or the weeds
will be transplanted rather than killed.
In regard to the value Of narrowing
growing corn opinions differ greatly.
It 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 tho idea Of
|
part of it out. Unless the weeds are
very bad the harrow had better be
put away in the machine shed rs 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 it is ready to clay ty" viii do
much to keep the weeds in check. The
deep early CIVILIZATIONS will bring up
the seeds that have been lying dor
mant at the bottom Of the furrow
Slice These will terminate and be
killed by the later CIVILIZATIONS. Fox
tail may grow up and go to seed after
the crop gets too large to cultivate.
1t is often good plan to sow rape in
corn at the last cultivation. This will
come up quickly and shade the ground
SO completely that it will prevent the
growth Of annual weeds almost en-
tirely.
Annual weeds seldom do much dam
age in small grain. If the grain is
drilled in on properly prepared seed
bed it will get such start that most
Of the weeds will be smothered out
and die for lack of plant food and
light One annual that is sometimes
troublesome in grainfields 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 little
mustard seed in 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 its 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.
Squirreltail glass is not troublesome
in cultivated fields. but often IN
tests meadows and pastures to such
an extent as to make them almost
worthless. Moving as soon - the

In large number of the weekly ex-
changes reaching this office the list of
real estate transfers stands out as a
prominent feature. Generally the list
occupies column or more of space.
One particular paper had over two col
umns of transfers the other day. This
is indicative of unusual activity in
Iowa Iowa real estate, as most Of the
deeds of record had to do with farm
property. 1t is furthermore an index of
prosperous conditions. Men do not buy
farms at present high prices unless
they consider the investment good. On
the other hand the farm owner doesn't
sell unless he believes he is making
big money by SO doing. The ques-
ton is whether the land owner is not
really making a mistake in selling out
even at present prices, for there is
every reason to believe values will
continue to advance indefinitely
Residents Of Marshalltown thought

the press dispatches give out no par

THE VERDICT
NOT SET ASIDE

This morning City Attorney Nc
Clintock appeared in district court
and made a motion for a new trial in
the case of Celia Wilson VS.. the City
of Grand Junction. Mrs. Wilson hav-
ing been awarded judgment to the
amount of 5000 against the city for
injuries she sustained months ago as
a result of a fall on defective side
walk.
The city attorney set forth a num-
ber of reasons why he thought the
verdict of the ury should be set aside.
he declared that ths re was reason to
believe mat the jury mad awarded the
plaintiff such an amount OF damages
not because they thought the evidence
showed that she had been injured to
that extent bur because the jury was
influenced either by 'partiality or
prejudice"
The city attorney declared that the
Jury appeared TO be more Influenced
by the fact that the plaintiff was
without funds or means OF support
rather than by the evidence showing,
according to his opinion. that the
plaintiff had not been badly Injured
by the fall.
The city attorney declared that
the court had erred in several of its
rulings
The motion was argued by the city
attorney and by Attorney Fry, the
latter representing the plaintiff. The
court then overruled the motion for
new trial and refused to set aside
the verdict, The court. however.
gave the attorney thirty days time
In which to file a bill of exceptions.

of the bonds, the interest on these
bonds. probable dividends on the
Western Pacific stock, big earnings
from increased traffic and the value
of the stock itself are a few of the
things the Rio Grande treasury has
obtained through the deal.-Yester-
