HOW TO KILL QUACK GRASS.

The Department of Agriculture has
recently issued Farmers Bulletin No.
AGA on 1.-The Eradication of Quack
Grass Quack grass is we'll known
to most farmers all the way from the
Atlantic to the Pacific in ATTITUDES
north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers.
1t is one of the most serious weed
pests known in America. The grass
grows under great many different
names, among them couch grass, witch
grass, and twitch grass.
The author of this bulletin has
spent number of years making a
close study of the grass under field
conditions all over the northern
United States. Based on this thor
ough knowledge of the field habits of
the grass, experimental work was
started, which quickly resulted in a
complete, cheap and practical method
of eradicating the pest.
Farmers Bulletin AGA embodying
this work can be had by applying to
your Senator, Congressman or direct
ly to the Department OF Agriculture
at Washington.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1912-04-15

By Geo. Severance, Superintendent
Western Washington Experiment
Station, Puyallup, Washington.
The common cabbage root maggot
causes great loss of cabbages, radishes,
kale, cauliflower, etc. All who raise
these crops recognize the pest readily
and seek only a remedy for their
troubles.
The maggots hatch from eggs laid
about the plants by small fly. When
the eggs hatch the maggots crawls
down by the stems OF the plant and
feed on the main stem, soon destroy
ing them. A large number of rem
edies have been tried by various ex-
pertinent stations and by individuals
but none have proven effective after
the eggs have been laid.
The only remedy that has given a
considerable measure of success con-
sists in sprinkling carbolated lime
about the plants at the time of set
ting and about every ten days there
after until danger from the maggots
is past. The carbolated lime does
not kill either flies or maggots but is
said to keep the flies away from the

patch. The preparation recommended
by the entomologist of the State col
lege consists of ten pounds of lime
slaked in water and diluted to fifty
gallons adding one pint of carbolic
acid. From the above it will be seen
that if anything is to be done it must
be done early. The difficulty in ap
ply ing treatments to kill the maggots
is that anything that has been tried
that will kill the maggots will kill all
the plants.
Pastures are commonly given no
thought. The feed secured may be
double, trebled or even quadrupled
in many cases by proper care. Past
ures should be divided into three or
more sections to be pastured in turn,
moving the stock in each case before
the grass is grubbed right to the
ground. This avoids weakening the
plants like close pasturing and gives
them a chance to recuperate.
Stock should be kept off from heavy
pasture land when real wet The in.
jury to the soil amounts to more than
the value of the feed in such cases.
Land that is not in crop and that
is to be plowed late for a summer
crop should be disked early to pre-
vent the evaporation of moisture and
the baking of the soil. The soil will
pillow more easily later; will not be as
limpy and will work down better and
with less labor and will stand the
summer drouth better. This is one
of the fundamental principles of dry
land farming and applies as we'll in
Western Washington as anywhere else.
Avoid working heavy soils when too
wet. The granular structure that
gives such soils the desired porous
condition for the absorption of moist
ure, the circulation of air and the
free passage of roots is pretty apt 80
be broken down leaving the soil to
bake down in hard and impervious
mass. Haste makes aste on such
soils.

Decision in
Pauper Cases.

The law court has handed down a de-
eision in the famous Knox county paul

volving the pauper settlement OF one
George L. Barter The decision In the
rescript drawn by Associate justice
Arno w. King of Ellsworth, is in favor
of the defendant, ruling that the add
instability of a marriage record. while
presumably true, is a REPUTABLE propo-
sition. The rescript is as follows:
These actions are to recover for pau
per supplies. They We're tried together,
and the sole controversy involved was
concerning the pauper settlement of
George L. Barter.
AS tending to prove that Barter had
acquired settlement in Rockland by
having his home there for five successive
years, between 1889 and January 7 1885,
without receiving supplies as pauper
directly or indirectly, the plaintiff intro
dueed without objection the record from
the City Clerks office of Rocktand
showing Barters intentions of marriage
dated October 10, 1894. in which his resi-

cember 81 1895 under the same inten-

the marriage ceremony, called by the
defence, testified that he inserted in his
return to the City Clerk of the mar
riage, the residence of Barter as Rock
land, taking it from the certificate of
the publication in 1894. and that Barter
was not consulted about it. and did not
know that the return had been so made.
Held
l. The admissibility of the record of
the marriage was on the ground that.
since the law requires that q record of
a marriage shall be made containing
among other recitals the names and
residences of the contracting parties
there is a presumption that the Tecitas
are true, but it is REPUTABLE presump-
ton
3 The records having been admitted
il was proper for the other party to
show facts and circumstances which
would have a tendency to rebut the pre-
sumption arising from the recital there
in as to Barter's residence.

ton to the jury is held to be reversible

record that is required by law to be

For twenty years Mr.. Greet has been
prominent in England for perform
ances in which his companies have
acted each year in London, Cambridge,
Stratford- UponEAvon and other places.
Mr. Greet became known in America
several years ago through his presen-
tation of the morality play Every
man" under the management of
Charles Frohman. This was the first
time "a play was presented in America
by professional company in the
T9izabethan manner. This was later
followed by classical comedies The
Ben Greet Players gave a season in
New York of two hundred perform
ances, and have since annually had
long runs there and in all of the other
large cities in the country.
AS open air players they gave their
first performance at Columbia Univer-
sity before an audience of over three
thousand people. This was followed
by plays at Harvard, Yale, Princeton
and nearly every other large college,
and repeated annually ever since Mr..
Greet's Company was the first and
only one to give a play, by request of
the President, on the White House
grounds.
The great success of Mr.. Greet's pro-
auctions is largely due to his ability to
choose capable players and train them
to properly delineate the characters.
The plays are given in pure fashion
with the minimum stage effect. They
are real educational productions of
masterpieces of classical comedy.
Mr.. Greets Company has never be-
fore this years lyceum engagements
appeared at less than $500 prices.
That the players are popular with the
public is shown by the fact that on
June Is, 1872 at a matinee and evening
benefit performance given at the Chi-
cago Auditorium, the receipts were
over $4,000.
