Weeds are always a proposition to the
farmer. The eradication of them forms
a study which was taken up at the
Tri- state Grain e. Stock Growers con-
vention today, Prof Fl. L. Bolley of the
N. ID. A. c., discussing the subject in
a thorough paper. In full Professor
Bolley said:
Usually weeds and plant diseases are
not discussed under one heading. 1t
will, however, be seen after a little
thought, that these subjects are more
closely associated in farm work than
commonly supposed. A feM corps
under ordinary farming conditions
must compete with various types of
plants are thus spoken of as weeds.
There is no fixed line between a weed
which only, occupies so much ground
and draws nourishment away from the
roots of cultivated plants, and the type
of plant which more or less directly
attacks the cultivated plants in such a
manner as to draw nourishment direct
ly from its tissues. All Of the infec-
tious diseases which attack farm crops
Nre due to the action of minute plants
Or animals, in most casesl. plants.
Plants which are large enough to d.
Fectly compete with our cultivated
plants are called weeds while A1he
plants of smaller order which8 fefe
spoken of as parasites, disease pro-
nucers. Some of these are extremely
minute and attack the crop by way of
wind, water, soil and seed borne par
ticles which are spoken of as germs
or spores. There are, however, some
real parasites which produce seeds and
grow to a considerable size For ex-
ample dodder on clover or alfalfa
Some call dodder a disease. Others
would call II a weed. AS the defin-
ltion for weed is simply plant out
Of place with references to cultivation,
and as 1t usually implies more or less
useless charactsR associated with the
ability to injure farm crops, 1t will
be seen that the minute parasite plants
which cause such diseases as smut,
blight, wilt and rot, are after all, well
rlassed with weeds. Many of the
methods of farming which facilitate
the distribution of weeds also facilitate
the distribution and destruction that
may be caused by various parasitic
disease producers. Thus a proper
handling Of land and crops with ref
renee of the one may often largely
Influence the occurrence of the other.
The number of plants which cause
destruction in farm crops are legion
and each one has it's own specific
characteristics. The specific fight
which is waged by the farmer against
one type of weed with success in con-
trolling 1t and in increasing the yield
of one particular kind of farm crop may
not always be expected to prove sue
cessful against another sort of weed
In another cultivated crop, or indeed
against another sort OF weed in the
same crop. This may likewise be said
to be true with regard to any partic-
ular type Of fungus parasite or disease
producing plant which attacks our Gull
tivated plants. For example, the
method OF controlling sinking smut OF

grass, holygrass and numerous other
plants produce heavy f1eshy under
ground parts which are intended to
tide the plant over hard times. These
underground parts contain mucn food
material and thus resist drying and
other conditions, and as they also sup
port. buds or may produce them, any
one Of the broken parts readily pro-
duces new plant, the ordinary meth
DDS of field culture simply distribute
such parts generally throughout the
soil until the whole area becomes a
mass of roots. Such plants are also
often great, seed producers and If al
lowed to produce seed on the roadsides
and waste places, or If sold in seed
grain, feed-stuffs, forage, hay. straw,
ETC., the fight for control of such pests
In thee cultivated fields will not mater
tally progress. 1t must particularly be
understood that the cut parts of the
underground stems develop new plants
In the same sense that a potato tuber
produces new hills when pieces are cut
and planted. Absolutely bare culture
or smothering methods are the only
successful methods of eradication.
The Delayed termination Habit.
In our cultivated plants the seeds
are apt to be quite non-resistant to
decay. They either terminate as soon
as they have opportunity or soon lose
that power by termination and decay.
Not so with the seeds of the wild plant.
Long years of selection in combat with
natural conditions have allowed only
those to survive whose seeds are very
persistent and those which are resist
ant to decay. For example. II ia wen
known that the seeds of any member of
the mustard family may rest for wears
In the soil, If buried below the point
where sufficient air supply is available.
1t is not even necessary that thew
be buried in dry soil for they survive
in heavy much and mire in MANY
cases, but readily terminate when
brought to the surface after MANY
years. In the case of some weed seeds
1t is even necessary for them Ia resi-
for period in such wet decay prodnc-
ing soil in order that they NAV nre-
pare for termination There are vet
other plants which produce seeds which
exhibit delayed termination when an
parently the most favorable conditions

For The Protection of Game
IN. o. Daily States.)


In 1908 there was greater and
moro important legislation enac-
ted for the protection of game than
in any previous or subsequent
year. A wave of sentiment had
swept over the country and thirty
States. as result of it, made i'm
portant changes and additions to
their fish and game laws. That
this reform sentiment is still alive
is evident from the many effective
amendments to the existing game
laws which were recently adodted
by the New York legislature and
approved by Governor Hughes.
These amendments shorten the
deer season by two weeks; the
days bag Of rabbits is limited to
ten per day, and spring duck
shooting has been practically pro-
hibited as result of the curtail-
mont of the brsnt season, and
closed season for pheasants has
been continued until 1914. The
Massachusetts law, which made
game refugees of the State park and
forest reservations also has been
adopted, and the establishment of
game bird refugees is made posi-

The Beast And The Ballots.

Denver held a municipal cleo
ton the other day and when the
ballots had been counted it was
feared that the people had deci-
dedy

For the initiative and referen-
dunn.
For the recall.
Against certain fake" amend
meuts introduced to puzzle the
voters.
Against the renewal of the wa.
ter company's franchise.
Against local prohibition.
This was perhaps the most sign
ificant municipal election ever held
in America. 1t was a finish fight
between Privilege and the People.
On thu side of Privilege were ar
rayed all the powers that Prey
the Democratic machine, the pub
lie corporations, even the city adj
ministration. On tho other side
were Judge Ben Lindsay and his
co-workers, the League for Honest
Elections and as the tally shows,
the people.
No stone was loft unturned in
the endeavor to defeat the popular
will. Mondey was spent lavisLly
with view to corrupting the cleo
torate. Men and women were
hired to "boost" the water fran
chise on the streets and on street
cars.
Women were hired to canvass
the city, and then authorized to
offer men S. down and 5 more if
the franchise carried to act as
their assistants" on election day
with nothing to do.
The Democratic mayor called
the recall measure a vicious in.
strument and denounced direct le-
gislation as psrnicious. The Rep
ublican boss said the same thing.
There we're two issues before
the people-a real one and a fake
one.
The real one was whether or not
the water company should not be

The fake one was the saloon
question.
