wise enough seed will be formed in
the hills to seed the land. Another
plan would be to put the land down

of the oats will grow at the end Of
that time. The mustard will be very
little affected by the three-year wait,
but you could use the iron sulphate
spray and destroy It by that means.
Any Of these plans will put your land

tility to the soil except the growing Of
grass for pasture or for meadow, If
mixed with clover.

Of Fargo's new public library.
At the laying Of this corner stone
he gave short address, in which he
said:
II want to tell you people how glad
am to be here in Fargo tonight"
said Colonel Roosevelt. Thirty years
ago, when l first saw Fargo, it was q
much different type of city than that
Of today. 1t was twenty-seven years
ago that l passed through Fargo on
my way to Medora, in the western
part Of your state, where I spent the
happiest and most profitable years OF
my entire life.
II owe to that experience my knowl-
edge Of the western people. One can
not come to know people until you
have ben with them, until you have
worked with them.
"You people of North Dakota are
peculiarly responsible for me-" ho
continued, and following heavy ap-
plause, he added, II am glad to know
that you do not feel bad about it. II
it had not been for what I learned
during those years that l spent here
in North Dakota, never in the world
would have been president of the
United States. So now feel keen
gratitude toward North Dakota and

that am back home again.

which seemed to please the ex-presi-

U. C. T. we're jovial bunch and
Roosevelt seemed especially pleased
with them. When the wagon arrived

jamestown FARMER A NUMBER
OF WAYS IN WHICH WEEDS
MAY BE ERADlCATED

The following question and the an
swer ma be of interest to others. The
advice given is the result OF long
years of experience.
jamestown, N. D., Aug. 8, 1910.
Pres. J. H. Worst, Agricultural Col
lege, Fargo, N. D. II
Dear Sir: We have quite a serious
problem confronting US at the present
time and we hope that we are not Inn
posing upon your good will by asking
you to help us with a little informa-
ton at this time. Il
The situation Is this. We have the
above described section which has
about 400 acres under cultivation.
This has been under cultivation for
number of years and has been very
poorly farmed, the former owners not
being particular as to seed have got
ten it very foul, there being mainly
yellow mustard and q few, wild oats
and I understand considerable French
Tweed. The information which we
would be pleased to receive from your
Office is at least two or three of the
plans which you would follow out to
the best advantage to get rid Of the
foul seed and put the land in the best
possible condition In the shortest
time, and at the same time IL possible
to be handled in such wav that we
may realize reasonable revenue from
the land. The land is rented by US
to a German farmer and he does not
have any stock outside Of his horses.
This Is really a diversified farm. It
Is watered the whole length BY run
ming creek and has one or two springs
near the buildings. and the bottom
land Is level and has good black
sandy loam with clay sub-soil and the
higher land is more Of . black loan
with clay sub-soil. in fact, the whole
Of the land is very good. At the pres
ent the land is not fenced.
We desire two or three views Of
your method Of putting this land in a
higher state Of cultivation in a short
time as above stated.
Thanking you In advance for your
ideas on this subject, we remain,
Yours truly,

early as you can, to q depth Of six or
seven inches and harrow 1t immedi.

l would not plow It more than an inch
deeper than it has ever been plowed
as too much dirt which has never
