THE TIME, THE PLACE AND MAN AT HAND How Underwood Is Adding
 to His Strength IS STRICTLY BUSINESS Gives No Countenance to Rooms, But Attends Strictly to His Af-
 fairs in His Own
 Way
By WALTER HARPER

Washington, January 11.-(Special.)- Everything is in order. We have the time, the place and the man.
 They are June 9, Baltimore and Oscar Underwood. Now what is to hinder us from having real good old time! mere is to be plenty of sport, real sport or the kind that makes the blood jingle, that ouickens the brain action and gives the flavor of chance to the contest.
 Some men like poker, some like football some like baseball, some like speed triais some like aviation and looping the death trap and some like politics. Politics as game is as sporty as any of them, and the game is clean when 1t Is played right.
 The game that is scheduled for this wear. and is already laid out on the field, is real game with all the frilis ana fiuffles that the heart could desire. It mas many sides. Every sideli bristiins with interesting possibilities.
 The game in the republican party IS as live as that within the democratic narty and both will be in full swing TOT the next five months. After they are fin- ally scored in the two big conventions about the middle of June the stage will be cleared for the final act or the real big game. It matters not who is select ed as the leaders of the two great parties the contest is to be one of prime interest.
 That oscar Underwood Is to be the nom- inee of the democrats in the Baltimore convention June 25 grows more and more apparent every day
 E While charges and counter charges are being hurled back and forth between most all the other candidates in the field. Oscar Underwood stands out in the open with record and character unchallensed. The fact that he is not a candidate that he is asking the people for nothing, but Is content to pursue his way performing the duties that are before him with un- selfish purpose. is greatly to his credit, and is winning support for him. He is engaged in no scramble. He will coun- tenance no effort on the part of any of his friends to discredit the chances of any man who is in the field. While the booms of other men are booming all round his head he is content to mind his own and the peoples business and bide hls time.
 In the meantime word comes from all sections of the country that sober think

Eual thistles have merely tap and

The perennial sow thistle grows
from two to four feet high and has
conspicuous bright yellow flowers.
The seeds, when mature, have a tuft
of hair at one end which aids the
wind in distributing them. The seed

The plant contains milky substance
which is seen when it is broken. For
this reason this plant is often called
the milk thistle"
The annual SOW thistle-Sonchus

has a flower and seeds similar to the
perennial sow thistle. This plant
often grows ten feet high.
The perennial COW thistle, shown in

uniform in size. Two grades may be
made. One should contain the large
uniform berries and the other should
contain the berries that remain. If
the berries cannot be picked at the
stage suggested it is preferable to
wait until they are fully ripe. In the
first instance the berries are suited
for sauce, pies and canning; in the
latter instance they are desirable for
preserves and jam.
The early apples are being sold on
the market at this time. They are
being used for pies and cooking pur-
poses. The Duchess of Oldenburg
apples are marketable now and will
soon be followed by other summer
and fall varieties. 1t is not advisable
to market such produce at great ey-
pense or labor. 1t will pay, however.
to expend reasonable amount Of
labor in grading the apples. At least
two grades ought to be made. The
first grade ought to comprise the
large, well formed apples and the sec.
-ond grade ought to consist of the
smaller and inferior ones.
When the green apples" as they
are called, are shipped, the Slated
top bushel baskets are preferable.
They cost about IA cents each. Stat
ted bushel boxes also are used, the
cost for these being about II cents
Barrels holding two and one-haif
bushels will cost about 35 cents eaca.
When the apples are packed in boxes
and baskets but little care is ne ces-
sary. When the apples are packed in
barrels, however, two layers of fruit
should be placed at the bottom. with
the stem ends all carefully pointing
out Specimens of equally good grade
should then be poured in until the
barrel is full The barrel should be
shaken down, and the top should be
rounded off nicely.
The barrel press should then be
placed in position and the upper hoop
should be removed and permitted To
lie loosely about the top. A corrugat-
ed straw board, cut to fit. should then
be placed over the apples under the
E8ad The press should then be
serewed slowly down. When the head.
which has been carefully guided, has
shipped into place the hoop should be
reftted and fastened by mailing
through it and the stave ends into
the head. The press should then be
removed, the barrel should be turned
up and the grade, variety and grow
er's name should be stenciled on. the
bottom. The bottom thus becomes
the top, and, when the head is re-
moved at the end of the shipment. the
nicely faced fruit is exposed to the
prospective customer.
II is impossible to consider here
the ways employed to pack the differ
ent vegetables for market. Any per-
son who desires information on the
marketing of vegetables, however,
may secure it by writing to the Hort
cultural Specialist, Extension Division,
University Farm, st. Paul. The in
formation on any of the special crops

HOW TO REPLACE TIMOTHY
Will Grow Better II Drilled Than If
sown Broadcast.

Sown Broadcast.
If mixture of timothy and clover
was sown in the grain this spring.
and 1T failed to grow or was partly
killed after it had started, the stand
can be improved by sowing timothy
after the grain is removed from the
field. To obtain the best result, the
shocks should be removed as soon as
they are dry. and the timothy should
be sown at once SO that the little
plants can become firmly started be-
fore winter comes. At this time of the
year, timothy will grow better If
drilled in than if sown broadcast. The
drill places the seed down In the moist
soil and covers it. The drill should
be run as shallow as possible. IT
there is no grass seeding attachment
on the drill. the timothy seed may he
mixed with ground grain, ground corn,
or dry sawdust to regulate the amount
sown on each acre. Glover has not
generally grown very well when sown
in August--A. C. Army.

PEST OF RUSSIAN PIGwEED
introduced Into North Dakota From
Manitoba and Slowly Moving
8outhward-Action Urued.

(By L. r. wALDRON. Superintendent
Dickinson substation.)
This plant has been found only in
Cavalier and Pembina counties. It
was introduced from Manitoba and
earlier from Russia. and 10 slowly but
surely moving southwark. It is an
upright. branching annual with alter
nate green leaves with clusters Of
seed-bearing flowers near the axis Of
the leaves. The flowers are inconspicJ
uous. The seeds are about one-six-
teenth Of an inch long, fattish, gray
or mottled. and most Of them are
provided with two minute wings at
one end. The plant is a native of Rus
sia and Siberia. Because of its abun-
dant seed production and congenial
surroundings 1t takes complete posses
sion of the land. At the present time
this plant seems to favor waste
places, but there is no known reason
for its not invading grain fields, and
in fact seed barley has been examined
containing the seed Of this pest. To
all appearances this weed promises
to be as bad as the now famous
French weed that invaded the state by
the same route. II taken in hand
now this weed could be checked by q
moderate outlay of time and money.
but II left to spread, as it is doing. It
will eventually cost the farmers an
enormous sum. With an efficient weed
law. in charge Of an inspector, It
would be the business of some one to
look after the pest while now 1t is no
ones business. A matter Of this ma
ture is really just as important in its
way as an epidemic among the live
stock, and it would pay in the long
run to handle it summarily. It is be-
lieved that with the experience gained
with Russian thistle and tumbling
mustard. the farmers Of North Dakota
would welcome law that would make
1t possible to prevent the entrance OIL
such fearful pests. The time is cerJ
tainly ripe for action.
