NOXIOUS WEEDS.

recently toured the central part of
Oregon, show that the weed prob
lem is rapidly becoming a serious
one throughout the wheat belt. The
following general methods of COM
batting these weeds are most likely
to bring success. These methods
are based in part upon the scientific
principles underlying the growth of
these plants and in part upon
practices which have proved success
ful on Central Washington farms.
Annuals-Plants which grow from
seed only. These include such weeds
as Russian thistle, tumble weed,
tumbling Jim HilD mustard, prick
ly lettuce, wild oats, etc., etc. They
can all be killed if prevented from
going to seed by cutting off the tops
before blooming. Never pillow weed
seeds under if possible to prevent it.
Most weed seeds Will live many years
under ground and start to grow
whenever later tillage brings them
near the surface. IT weeds have gone
to seed on a piece of land, first disk
1T lightly so as to bury the seeds at
the right depth SO that they will
start to grow, wait until the seeds are
well started and then pillow them
under or kill them by cultivation.
The greatest harm done in blowing
down of undisked stubble is in bury
ing deep the weed seeds lying in the
stubbIe.
Perennials. -Plants which come up
year after year from the underground
roots and spread chiefly by the
scattering of pieces of roots through
the soil by tillage These include
such weeds as the various milk
weeds" (blue- lowered lettuce, etc.. },
the Canada thistle, the "camphor
weed" etc. No single cutting of the
tops of such weeds can be relied on
to destroy them. The underground
roots must be killed before the weed
Is eradicated. The only sure method |
for killing these underground roots
is to completely deprive them of food
or 'starve" or "bleed' them to
death. Begin by cutting them close
to the ground when they are in full
bloom as at this stage the greatest
proportion of their nourishment is in
their tops. Then never allow them
to again make any growth Of green
tops above ground. This can be done
by cutting them off, under ground,
with some form of cultivator with
knives which cut under the entire
surface. The knives must be kept
sharp and the ground cultivated often
enough, generally every fifth or sixth
day, so that no new shoots appear
above ground. When new shoots
start from the roots they draw upon
the food material of the roots until
they have opened their leaves above
ground and started new rootlets by
means of which they can secure
nourishment from the soil, digest it
in their new leaves and add it to the
main roots for reserve food. Ii each
new shoot is cut off before opening
its new leaves no new food is manu-
featured and the constant drain upon
the reserve food of the roots finally
exhausts the supply and the plant is

HARVARD WINS LONG GAME

Contest in Boston.
Try Telegraph TO The TRIBUNE. J

Boston. Jan. 27.-Harvard's hockey team
beat Cornell tonight at the Arena Rink by
q score of 3 10 . in match that extended
TO second extra period. Each team scored
in the first period and each also made an
other goal in the second.
There was no scoring in the third period

Huntington. of the Harvard seven. made a
long rush down the right hand side Of the
rink and when closely pressed by the
massed Cornell defence. passed out 10 Dun
can. who, with clear shot for the goal.
lifted the puck almost waist high and past
the Cornell goal tender, Vail.
The match was not well played, although
because of their better skating the Itha-
cans kept Harvard on the defensive most
of the time. giving many more stops to
Gardner. the Harvard net man, than Vail
had at the other end of the rink.
Cornell scored the first goal within FIVE
minutes Of play, when Hill made long
shot. sending the puck hopping along the
ice and finally over Gardner's skate into
the net. Ten minutes later Blackall OF
Harvard, by a brilliant speeding. worked
his way through tho Cornell defence and
scored without assistance from his team
mates.
In the second period Harvard broke the
tie when Huntington prettily played pass
from Duncan made from the side boards.
but before the period ended Scheu. recover
ing a long bound from the wall after Hills
