legally use their frog-stickers.
Miller, the Indian first sacker, had
crouch on his Pa. He evidently
likes the soon-to-be champs, for he oc-
cupied our bench during their turn at
bat. Then last night he was heard to
make the remark. He'll get nothing
out of me (meaning Belt), and l will
work for him no longer. He claims
to have an opportunity to go to the
Pacific Coast league, and says Belt
has been offered $500 for him. His
idea is that Belt should add that
amount to the Keokuk Golfer and
send him west Miller is a good man,
but Pa says he isn't too fast for this
league yet.
Gard was getting them all, any
where and everywhere, yesterday. He
got several high ones in the vicinity
of the. plate. and went after one that
missed the grand stand but few
inches in falling. Some catching,
"Toots.'
Collins continues to cavort around
the short field in good style, and the
general agreement is that he is a
sure huff star.
1t Is reported that the Indians left
fielder, Ochs, belongs to Mi Egan,
and the Ottumwa manager is to call
him in. He was formerly a member OF
the Northern association bunch, but
Ned owned him then, and evidently
thinks him worth while adding to his
own bunch. The Packers already
have five outfielders, and where Ochs
will be placed is a conundrum.
Bill Donahue still has each batter
spotted, and when batter steps to
the platter Bill shifts to different
part of the outer garden Cavanaugh
almost fooled him yesterday, however,
as after having sent the first one to
right center where Bill was camped
he smote the next into deep center.
Bill made a great catch, however,
and shows he doesn't need to be very
close to get under them.

TO KILL .QUACK GRASS
Experience of An Expert In Getting
Rid Of This Pest OF
The Farmer

G. O. Nichols, of Mortified, has out.
lined his method of destroying quack
grass in Farmers Institute Annual
No. q. His method, where large
fields are to be treated, is to cover
the ground heavily in the winter OF
spring. After the grass has started
he harrows the manure two or three
times so that it will work down
among the roots of the plant and
and stimulate the rapid growth of the
plant, his theory being that the ranke1
it grows the nearer it's roots approach
the surface. He then let's the grass
alone until it heads out and begins to
blossom.
At this stage the plant is putting
forth all its energy, and most of the
vitality is In the stalk and head,
which is regarded both by Mr.. Nichols
and the Experiment. Station as the
most feasible time for destroying it.
He then plows using chain SO adj
justed as to tnrn under the tops, turns
over the ground for depth of six OF
seven inches, using extreme care to
turn under all the grass. He then
rolls the ground and gees over it with
disc harrow, using the discs nearly
straight, so as to slightly loosen the
upper soil. Then buckwheat is sown
at the rate of two bushels per acre,
and narrowed with slant tooth har-
row. The crop shades the ground and
chokes down the quack that subse-
quently. grows. The ground is not
plowed again until just before freez.
ing in the fall, when the few roots left
will have hard work to exist through
the winter. Mr.. Nichols does not ex.
pect to harvest any buckwheat, being
satisfied to devote one year to the
eradication of the pest. Aside from
sowing crop of buckwheat, where
the Experiment Station recommend
using a hoed crop, there is little diff
ference between Mr.. Nichols expert.
ment and that tried at University
farm.

WANTS TO KNOW.
Congressman ChdS. A. Iindbergh
Calls for Information
ABOUT UNFAIR RATES
Letters from Constituents Desired
to Enable Him to Get a
Square Deal

WASHINGTON, d. G. April Is : fol-
probably three or more weeks congress
will consider the Interstate commerce
bill, which is by far the most i'm.
portant bill to be considered during
this session. Iwish persons who have
any specific or special knowledge OF
unfair freight or express rules, re.
gulations, and charges being made to
them or in their respective localities
and who feel an interest in the pro-
posed legislation, would write me the
"details.
The kind of Determinations that
are made against the patrons of rail
ways and express companies in the
Sixth District are probably made
against people of all rural districts
under like circumstances, and it il
hoped to get the bill in shape tx
remedy as many of the present Difficult
ties as possible. / can make use o.
letters, dealing with actual condition:
to good advantage in talking ovel
the provisions of the bill with othel
Members of Congress who represent
districts with like conditions. The
conditions now in the house present
better opportunities for amendments
than heretofore, and I wish to get ar
expression of conditions so as to be in
position to know what amendments
ought to be made and supported.
The letters should be sent as soon
as possible, because public opinion
helps very much, as it should, in
shaping legislation, and letters that
state facts and experiences ofshippers
and people who deal with railway;
and express companies will have
weight. / would like to make free
use of the letters with other members
but any person who wishes his not
to be used in that way may indicate
that his letter is personal, and in sucf
case the letters will be treated az
confidential and will not be shown.
