Thistles in South Idaho.

The Russian thistle. is without
doubt the widest distributed weed IN
southern Idaho. 1t has become so
widely distributed In the irrigated
regions that 1t is commonly looked
upon BY the farmers as an evil which
must be endured, says o. NJ. Osborne
Of the Idaho experiment station. It
is exceedingly unfortunate. that such
view Of the Russian thistle has been
taken, for 1t is not difficult weed to
eradicate providing community effort
can be secured. Without com muoity
effort, however, its eradication Is
quite hopeless. The reason fo,' this
is that the weed propagates itself
solely by the seeds which are scattered
by the thousands over vast areas by
means OF the wind which sends the
ripened plant tumbling over the
prairies for many miles. Clean land
can thus become infested from very
distant sources.
The Russian thistle ia an annual
and the average plant produces about
25, 900 seeds. Fortunately the see0s
seldom retain their vitality longer
than two years. Any cultivated
crops. then, that can be introduced
into the rotation for period OF two
or more years will entirely eradicate
this weed from an infested field pro
viding other weeds of the same kind
are not allowed to tumble oyer the
field during this period. Hence the
Importance OF community effort Il
evident. 1t is often advisable Il
fence off fields that are to be cleaned
up, with woven wire anti cement
posts. Then in case the Russian
thistles pile up against the fence II

prevented from getting into I he field

DEMOCRATS NAME TICKET
Wilson and Marshall Nominated at
Baltimore.

Governor Woodrow Wilson o
New Jersey for president, and
Governor Thomas r. Marshall o
Indiana for vice president, is the
ticket named by the democratic
national convention at Baltimore
The convention assembled June
IS. Champ Clark was in the lead
on the first ballot, and made q
strong effort to secure the nomina-
ton, going to Baltimore and tak.
ing charge of his campaign in per
son. A fight was precipitated
between the reactionary and pro-
gressive elements, and the sup
port of Tammany Hall and the
New York delegation being thrown
to Clark, put him in a bad light
with the progressives led by w. j.
Bryan. The influence of Bryan,
who opposed the nomination OF
any man wanted by Tammany
Hall, gradually changed the voting
from Clark to Wilson, the latter
finally winning the nomination,
July 2, on the 46th ballot. Wilson
received 9oo votes to 81 for Clark.
Much bitterness was engendered
during the contest. Bryan insisted
on the nomination of a man who
could not be controlled by the
predatory interests, and Clark, de-
Tending himself, denounced the
Nebraskan for "casting veiled as
persions upon his character" and
implying that he was not a pro-
gressive, and Stanchheld, a New
York delegate, in bitter attack on
Bryan, denounced him as "mon-
ey grabbing, publicity seeking
marplot." t
The platform adopted declares
for immediate downward revision
Of the tariff.

PROTECTING THE FORESTS
Precautions Taken to Prevent
1912 Fires.
"A REAssuRINC BULLETIN
No Loss Of Merchantable Timber
in Idaho Yet.

bulletins on the forest fire risk at
the beginning of July have been
received by the Western Forestry
& Conservation Association from
practically all state, government
and private protective agencies in
the Pacific northwest. The most
prominent feature Of the situation
is the perfected preparation all are
making, especially in more sys-
tematized cooperation between
the several forces than has existed
in former years. There have been
no serious fires since the abnormal
dry spell in May. Although June
rains have removed immediate
hazard, the authorities caution
against any relaxation of care fer
this year all rains seem to be fol-
lowed by unusually hot windy
weather quickly restoring danger
Gus conditions.
Western Oregon shows great
advance in timber owners patrol
associations, five new ones added
this year making chain from the
Columbia to the California line.
No timber has been lost since the
May fires.
The Washington Forest Fire
Association has nearly 100 men
, out now and is working up further
corporation with the State and
Government which will give still
fuller patrol. Five lives and some
timber were lost in May, but none
in June.
Idaho reports no loss : of
merchantable timber, slashinEs

weather conditions. Full patrol is
not established, but the co-operat-
i've associations have about rs men
watching slashing fires and build

expenditure is being made for
telephones and lookout stations.
Idaho also expects to benefit from
the Weeks law, and the railroad
companies are cooperating both
by clearing rights of way and Ivy
contributing toward patrol.
