Hughes May Come Back.


Hughes may or lay not figure again
in politics. The presidents of the SUI
preme bench are all against it, and
probably he does not expect to see
these precedents find an exception in
his particular case. He would no doubt
be glad to be the chief justice, and
there is a possibility that President
Taft will appoint him. provided there
should be a vacancy in that position
under the Taft administration.
An associate justice has never yet
been made chief justice, but that is no
reason why one should not be. provided
the president is willing. The nearest
a Dproa,i, y uas in 1899 nrhen ClAve-
land as president appointed Fuller to
be chief justice. There was a strong
demand at that time that the place. be
given to Associate Justice Field, and
at one time it looked as If Cleveland
would consent.
But whatever may happen to Hughes
on the supreme bench, he will be out Of
Roosevelfs way in New York. Wheth-
Ter Roosevelt will care to comeito the
senate in succession to Depew IS not

No county institution is of more
importance both TO the county
and the individual than the pubic
free schools. Not only do they
benefit the individual by elevating
his moral End intellectual status
but by this very process secure to
the county a better class of citi-

slTable to increase the efficiency
of such an institution than TO accu-
mulate large surplus of useless
money in the county treasury. All
these things being considered it
seems TO us plainly evident that
the duty of the Board of Super

the school funds sufficient money
to run them in the proper way
and we trust that they may see
their duty in the same manner on

this and the following months makes
the work particularly effective.
The Eradication Of Quack Grass on
Old Sod. II the grass has not been
pastured OF, NOW the grass for hay.
About July the seed is not sufficiently
mature to grow. Hence, there is no
danger ofspreading by scattering seed
in feeding farm animals. 1t is not
we'll to take chances on cutting Quack
grass for hay after the middle of July.
The seed at that time may be suffi-
ciently mature to grow, If scattered
about by handling the hay. It may al
so pass through the digestive systems
OF farm animals to which the hay is
fed and grow on the field to which the
manure from the animals is applied.
Quack grass if cut in blossom makes a
fair sort of hay. The object in re-
moving the hay is to be able to do a
better Job Of blowing. When the tall
uass 10 turned under. there is some
di@culu in doing good job; and,
even u . good job Of blowing can be

nsthods is in the depth and number

ordinary land ia none too deep-using
4 sharp plow with a jointer attached
to aid in turning the grass under COM
pletely. Disc Immediately after plow-
ing in the same direction as the fur
rows, running the disc shallow. The
idea in eradicating quack grass by this
method is to bury it, and by continual
~ keeping layer of fine, dry earth
on top, to smother the whole plant out.
Hence, the harrow should not be used
to bring the plants to the surface or
near 1t where, under the proper condi-
tions for growth--light, heat and
moisture-the plants will start to
grow vigorously. The discing should
be repeated once each week or oftener
II necessary to keep the quack grass
from showing green above ground.
The ground should be fall plowed just
before freezing up time. The second
method is much the same as the first,
except that the blowing 10 done shall
lower. The first blowing should be
about four inches deep. but all the
grass should he carefully turned un-

dor. The discing IS continued until
about Aug. Is, when the ground Is re-
plowed in the same direction as be-
fore, but about one inch deeper. The
discing should be continued after the
second blowing. II the directions as
outlined are followed carefully and per-
sistently through one season, from
July to November, the quack grass
will be killed in an ordinary season,
and the ground will be left in" good
condition to produce a good crop of
corn or potatoes the next season. The
object in planting cultivated crop
the next season is to get any stray
plants that may be left over, but plots
treated In this way near University
Farm, St. Anthony Park, Mimi, have
absolutely no living quack grass left
on them. However, to make sure,
these plots have been planted to corn
this season and are subject to inspec-
ton at any time.

attempt to eradicate all the quack on
an eighty or 160-acre farm in one sea-

infested. All the time and energy the
farmer has to devote to quack grass
eradication should be devoted to an
area Of such size-say twenty acres
more or less-that the eradication may
be entirely complete. The idea should
bo held in mind that careless cultiva-
ton at frequent intervals, or one thor
oagh cultivation at long, or irregular
A1eevals, usually helps the quack
along by giving it a chance to make
. moro vigorous growth. Thorough
work, intelligently carried out at the
hight times. should be the plan.
