James A. Troutman, commonly known
among his intimate acquaintances Jim
Troutman, is a candidate for the nomination
for state senator in the Shawnee district.
Jim Troutman is a of conceded
ability. He is of the best speakers in
the state of Kansas and I have always found
him to be a man of good judgment and
more than ordinary fairness. On the i'm
portant question of selection of United
States senator he heartily agrees to vote
for the man who shall receive the highest
preference vote among the electors of the
state regardless of his politics. This
amounts to permitting the people to choose
their own senator.
On other matters that will come up for
consideration in the legislature his wide
experience and marked ability will, I feel
certain, be of marked benefit to the people

KILLING WITCH GRASS.

Two Ways of Fighting the Pasture
Weed Distributions Is Unusual.
One spring witch grass began to
show in clover pasture. 1t was
wet season, and we couldn't keep 1t
down, says a Wisconsin correspondent
of the American Cultivator. The next
season I put some ground into cab
bage, just little cabbage along where
this quacl was, and there is one Of the
crops that will help to clean the land
by the amount of thorough cultivation
of the ground. I hoed it out all sum-
mer long, clear on up to the LIST Of Sep
TENDER, and last season put strip OF
corn again on this same ground in or
der to kill the quack out If there was
any left, but / failed to find any there
at all, and it was cleaned out just by
working it thoroughly with the cab
bage crop the year previous.
A somewhat unusual method of fight
ing witch grass was described in
Wisconsin farmers meeting. The In
tested land was heavily manured III
the winter or spring and the manure
narrowed two or three times to work
it down among the roots and stimulate
rapid growth, which brings the roots
nearer the surface. When the grass
begins to bloom is reckoned as les
weakest stage, when it is most easily
destroyed It is then plowed under,
using a chain to turn under the tops
and then carefully bury all the grass.
The field is then narrowed aud disk
narrowed, the harrow being set over So
as to slightly loosen the upper soil.
Then buckwheat is narrowed in. two
bushels per acre.
1t was found that the buckwheat will
keep down all the witch grass surviv-
ing. and the little that is left will be
killed if the field is plowed and left in
the furrow over winter. No attempt
Is made to harvest the buckwheat. but
the improvement of the soil In the de-
struction of the witch grass is consid-
cred sufficient repayment for the use
Of the land one year. Those who
would be unwilling to give ZIP their
land entirely for season could plant
a hoed crop even after the witch grass
had hloomed and was turned under.
No doubt hoed crop would more thor,
oughly kill out the grass than any 9th
er means and would afford some direct
return for the labor
