Crops losses aggregating millions
~ dollars occur annually throughout
the United States due to lack Oh GIN
Gent weed control. Immense areas
are infected with weeds to an extent
that makes it very advisable to carry
on a determined warfare to eraulcale
them. For many years those inter
ested in scientific and permanent agrl-
culture have considered the menace OF
weeds and have issued warnings
against them. This early Work oeal1
almost wholly with preventive meas
ures, largely along the line of seed IN
spection to insure clean seed.
Farmers on the virgin soils or the
United states where weeds were not
numeroas were inclined to ridicule the
idea that they could ever become serl-
ously troublesome. The fears OF the
scientists have been realized, now
ever, and there are now many farms
in this country which have been aDan-
doned because the weeds have multi
piled AID spread so rapidly that the
farmer mas become discouraged and
given up in despair. Noxious weeds
are spreading at a rate which has
alarmed those who are acquainted
with the seriousness of the situation.
There are many farms where 70 per
cent. Of the crop producing capacity
has been destroyed by weeds. There
is a great necessity OF some con-
certed action for weed control and
n of
most widespread and serious weed
pests.
The Worst Weeds.
While there are many weeds which
are proving troublesome on farms,
there are two which are pre-eminently
noxious, particularly in Wisconsin
and the north central states, viz:
Quack grass and Canada thistles.
These weeds are extremely difficult to
eradicate because of their peculiar
nature and habits.
Wild mustard has become a serious
pest in the grain fields Of many
states, and in some sections is get
ting beyond the control of farmers
using ordinary methods Of eradication.
Land values have deteriorated where
the fields have become thickly seeded
to mustard Considerable effort has
been expended by farmers in pulling
the mustard plants when in full bloom
at a time when the weed could be
easily recognized in the grain fields,
but when fields became badly infested
this was a laborious task, and often
was done at the expense Of one-haK
or more of the crop.
Other weeds which are especially
obnoxious are the Sow thistle, Star
thistle, English plantain, Ox-eye daisy,
Toad fax, Dodder and Velvet leaf,
and in many sections other weeds are
serious.
Quack Grass Serious Foe.
Quack grass is a perean5a; Plant llv-

vented by some unusual circum-

England, was proclaimed there, and in
1888 Queen Elizabeth attended in
state at a thanksgiving service for the
defeat Of the Spanish armada. Eight
years later, while the lord mayor was
at service there, he received an order
from the queen to raise 1000 men to
aid the French in the defense OF
Calais. Before eight o'clock that eve
ming the men had been recruited and
were marching on the road to Dover.
Among those who did penance at
the cross was Jane Shore, the ia
vorite of Edward W, while a still
more remarkable case was that OF
Lady Markham, wife of Sir Griffin
Markham, who in 1917 stood at the
cross in a white sheet and was fined
$4,000 for marrying one of her serV-
ants while her husband was alive.
This was the spot chosen, too,
when anything had to be denounced,
and consequently the bull of Pope
Paul H. was read from, threatening
all shoemakers who put peaks OF
more than two inches long on the
SuOC0 IhCy AhelOC1 SbAAS1 N~H
well, all, whether shoemakers or not,
who went to fair on Sunday.
These are but few of the things
which took place at what was, in old
time, the center of the public life, not
only of the city, but also of the union,
for it was at once the exchange, the
club, and the meeting place of Lon
don. Here heralds proclaimed the
news of victories by sea and land;
here, we are told, men threw up their
bonnets when they heard of Crecy
and Agincourt; here it was that
a sovereign brought his new-made
wife to show her to his faithful sub
iects: and last. but not least, it was
here that the wives and daughters of
the citizens gathered for their little
gossips and f1irtations.
It was doomed to destruction. The
last sermon was preached there in
May 80, 1880, before King Charles L.,
and in 1913 the cross was demolished
by order of the long parliament.
The new cross is built in accord
ance with a bequest of the late H. c.
Richards. who left $4,000 for the pur-
pose. It consists of a Doric column
on the top of which is bronze figure
of ST. Paul, nine feet high

NEW FEDERAL JUDGE NAMED

The recent appointment by Presi,
deEt Taft of Representative Walter
fugleWOod Smith of Iowa to be a
judge of the eighth circuit of the fed,
eral court to succeed Judge Van De,
vaIter, promoted to the supreme court
bench, has created considerable stir
in political circles.
One of the principal reasons for
political interest in the appointment
of Judge Smith is connected with the
fact that a candidate presented by
progressives for the same position
was Representative George w. Nor
ris of Nebraska insurgent leader, who
directed the revolution last March
which resulted in the busting of Speak
err Cannon from the rules committee.
Judge Smith has been in congress
since 1900.
Judge Smith was born in Council
Bluffs, July 10, 1862. He received a
common school education, studied law,

T0GA FOR TENNESSEE EDITOR

Luke Lea, practical owner Of the
Nashville esseean-American, and
youngest leading politician iq Tennes-
see, has been named by the general
assembly to succeed to the seat in
the United States senate held by
James B. Frazier. His election is
the last echo of the tragedy in which
ex-United States Senator Carmack
was killed.
At the time Carmack was shot he
was editor-in-chief of the Tennessee
an. Lea is generally spoken of as
the man who made Governor Patter-
son" in the first place, and the one
who contributed more subsequently
than any other in defeating him, alter
he had pardoned Colonel Cooper, inn
prisoned for the Carmack killing.
Lea is 50 years of age, a graduate
of the University of the South at Sc
vance. and is the second Luke Lea to
attain prominence in the politics OF

POLICE JUDGE A SOLOMON

The author of the famous Pollard
Pledge Is William ]. Pollard. He was
magistrate of the Dayton Street DO
ice court in st. Louis, when one day
man was brought before him ON the
charge Of having beaten his wife. The
case against him was clear and he was
sentenced to six months to the work,
house. Then the wife began to cry
and to plead for the man she had
brought before the court.
He is the sole support of my six
children and myself" she said. IF
you send him to Jail, Judge, we will
starve. l would rather take his beat
ings and have food for my little ones.
Please, judge, let him CO."
Judge Pollard was in a uuandary.
He looked at the brutal face of the
prisoner, and he gazed at the fearful
wife. He picked up his pen and
wrote few lines on sheet of paper.

which you promise to abstain COM

FRENCH FLEET IS
READY FOR ACTION
President FaIIleTes Reviews In
posing Array Of WarshIps.

Toulon, Sept. 5. - President Fal
Heres and the members of the cabi
net on board the battleship Massen,
reviewed an imposing array OF war
ships here yesterday. The entire
French fleet in home waters maneu.
vered before the president and his
ministers.
There were 9S vessels OF all descrlp-
tions in the line and their total dis.
placement was $4,000 tons, which is
greater than that of the German home
fleet, which recently assembled at
Kiel. There were in the parade IS
battleships, 9 armored cruisers and Il
other vessels.
NJ. Theophile Delcasse, the minister
of marine, who was in a group OF oIIi-
clal guests, told his listeners that the
ships which they had seen were ready
for battle. They were all coalel and
each vessel had her hold filled with
ammunition. They could be mobilized
at once.
There was one slight accident dur
ing the review. The battleship Bren-
nus ran down a pleasure boat crowd
ed with eXcursionists, but there were
no casualties.
