Auto express service between
Newark and Wilmington by 9th
Widdops is the latest proof that
Newark is abreast the times. Yes
tprdav morning the new car made
its appearance on the streets. 1t
is a ton and half truck, built by
the Federal Motor Company OF De-
troit-an up-to-date car IN every
way.
Mr.. Widdoes expects to make
daily runs to Wilmington. The
exact schedule has not yet been
made.
With car such as this and the
man back Of it. Newark can be as
sured Of prompt and reliable ser
vice.
For strictly up-to-date auto SER
vice, Newark certainly leads the
parade. And this latest car Is not
the last one in line either. Aside
from express deliveries. we wager
it viii! be in demand for straw
rides during the coming season.
Headquarters and schedule Will

Progress at the College Farm
Encouraging Report Of the Director

at an early date.
The farm sales during the year
amounted to $2.617.24. $2,37S.22

but $239.02 to be applied to the
work of the fiscal year herein re-

Oh the State farm. A herd of reg
istered Guernsey cattle purchased
with the Adams fund has been
added to the live stock equipment.
This herd will consume the
lroughaee Of the farm, and the ma
nure from it will assist in no small
degree in building up the fertility
Of the land.
The peach and apple orchards
have made satisfactory growth
during the year, and are beginning
to give some evidence Of their ex-
perimental value.
The crops have been good, prov
ing the wisdom Of the commission
in their selection of a farm for the
State.
AS soon as funds will permit, it
is planned to begin to drain the
farm with tile. It is believed that
the clay soil will respond readily
to drainage, and it is expected that
by a good system of drainage the
production of the farm will be ma
terially increased.

The annual report Of the Dlrec-
tor of the Agricultural Experiment
Station has recently been publish
ed. The pamphlet reviews the
work Of the fiscal year ending June
80. 1911. The station is referred to
as "a sort Of clearing house in all
matters pertaining to agriculture
and country life. While agrlcul-
tural research is constantly going
on, and contributing facts Of I'M
portance, the influence OF the lnstl-
tuition has been extended farther
through the application Of the re-
suits of these experiments to farm
conditions than in any other way.
Evidence IN support OF the state
ment is seen in the fact that as a
whole, the chain Of Experiment
Stations that were created by an
act Of Congress in 1887, although
tridiculed by the farmers them
selves, are now supported most 10y
ally by the rank and file OF the far
mers of the country. AT no time
in the history of American Agri-
culture have the men who till the
soil and who have some apprecla-
ton of their responsibility to it.
been so willing to give hearing to
the agricultural investigators as
now. This argues well for the fu-
ture as it indicates that the time
has passed when farming was sup
posed to be vocation that required

The director urges the advlsa-
bility of separating the work Of in

siders this combination the great

from both teaching and extension

MAKING war ON
SOW THISTLE

Special to The Tribune.
GRAND FORKS, July 11.-From
many parts of North Dakota comes
complaint Of the spread of n of the
worst weeds with which our farmers
have had to contend, the Sow Thistle.
The headquarters of the North Dakota
Better Farming Association at Grand
Forks have had repeated inquiries as
to the best treatment for this pvst,
and in order to give the widest POS.
sible publicity to the method for de.
stroying these thisues, they have is
sued the following statement:
ITO be rid of the Sow Thistle, the
most persistent and careful work is
necessary. The Sow Thistle is a per.
ennial plant. II it's vigorous root is
cut into pieces there will be as many
new plants as there are joints on the
pieces. If the tops r cut off with a
scythe or mower, the vigorous root
stalks will throw out from three to
six short stalks that cling so closely
to the ground that the scythe or NOV.
err will not again touch them. The
Sow Thistle also reprpduces itself
through the production of thousands
of winged seed, as we'll as through its
creeping root stalks. 1t lives in col
Onies and If a cOlnnv 'c wv ---'-t,,
..-.. ~ ..v. completely
dug out and destroyed, 1t will spread
until a whole field or section is n
solid mat. Grain growing spreads it.
chemical sprays will not effect it, and
crop rotation to kill it is impracticable
in the northwest.
If the thistles exist in small or iso-
lated patches, the best plan is to thor.
oughly spade and dig every plant out
by the roots, being careful to destroy
all of the underground root stalks.
If a field is thoroughly infected, the
only successful plan is to carefully
summer rallow for two years, being
certain that no green tops form. Ur.
less the farmer is willing to give care.
full, painstaking, persistent attention
to any method of eradication he adopts
he had better leave the thistle undis.
turbed, except to preySxt their matur-
ing seed and thus starting the in
festation Of his neighbours land. Half
hearted or careless measures only
help to spread the trouble. II this
pest is not quickly eradfcated, 1t will
soon reduce the land to little, If any,
value.

Freedom
AMONG women
Lady Graduate Physician
Predicts Release from
Rigid Rules
Special to The Tribune.

EDMONTON, Alta, July 11.-Miss
Jessie NJ. Allyn + Edmonton, a grad
uate% physician, who has just returned
to canada on a leave OF absence from
the Canadian Baptist mission at Pith-
apurum, India, predicts that the next
quarter century will see the practical
emancipation and freedom from the
rigid rules of state among the women
Of high caste in India. This, she ad-
ded, is especially true among the To
gulus.
Already the high caste girls
their schools are coming more into
contact with other classes of people,"
Miss Allyn continued in the course
Of an interview at the home of her
parents in this city, "and they are
keen, intelligent, studiOus and eager to
learn the customs Of the world. The
men of India too are throwing aside
the observance of their caste in things
commercial, but in their homes they
still observe all the ancient rules.
"As the English language is being
taught in all the schols, as we'll as in
the missions, the younger generation
will more readily throw off the re-
straint of class distinctions, the OBJ.
servance of which has heretofore
bound them as on an iron wheel. Ma
tive women are being trained az nurs-
es and are developing rapidly in the
work.
Both Rajah and Rance of Pithapur-
UNI belong to the reform class of
India, which in religion corresponds in
some ways with the Unitarians Of the
western world, and they are deeply
Interested in the welfare Of their PEG.
pie, hence the building up Of the mis-
sion hospital and %dispensary and
home, which is only the beginning OF
a great work yet to be accomplished
for the women of the district.
AS proof of the spirit Of progress.
l might say that the Rance of Pitha'
purum graced the occasion of the lay
ing of the cornerstone of the hospital
on December IL, 1911, by her pres.
ence, as did other women of high
caste. The Rajah and other disting'
| uished natives were also present, but
were screened from the rest Of the
assembly,"

PRIESTHOOD
Celebrated
Canadian indians Assisted n
Celebrating Golden
Anniversary

| Special 70 The Tribune.
EDMONTON, Alta, July 11.-Seven
| hundred braves of the Cree and Beav
err tribes from various parts of the
north country, headed by Chief Keen
osew and Chief Mustus, CARRIED in
their gaudiest %costumery and accom-
panied by squaws and pappooses, as
sisted the clergy OF the diocese OF
Athabasca and the people Of the town
and visitors from all over Canada and
the United States in celebrating the
golden anniversary OF the priesthood
of Bishop Emile Grouard, the Oldest
active Catholic missionary In the Do
minion, at Grouard, Alta, north OF
here.
The Indians attended the reception
where addresses were delivered |
Samuel Cunningham, who vas a mem.
Der of the territorial legislature; Bish.
op J%oussard, co-adjutor of the diocese,
and Miss Kate McDermott, daughter
OF Mayor McDermott, and they also
participated in the high mass, which
was celebrated by Bishop Grouard,
Rev. Father Orcalan of Rome, preach.
ed the sermon. The services were fol.
lowed by a public banquet, at which
addresses were given in English, Cree
and French. A parade in which a
squadron of the Royal Northwest
Mounted Police took part. was the
feature of the afternoon, and in the
evening there was a presentation of
a drama, entitled Life oil Bishop
Grouard in the North" written by sis.
tiers of the church.
The Indians, who were encamped
along the northern shore of Lesser
Slave Lake, passed the rest OF the
week in sports, including horse and
pony races, cowboy, running, jump
ing and dancing contests and tugs of
war. The dances recalled the days
when the red men held full sway over
the vast northland. At the close Of
the festivities the braves and their
squaws and papooses returned to the
habitats in the woods, many of them
travelling by the most primative meth.
DDS of transportation.
Bishop Grouard is a native of Brit.
amy, born in 1910 in the town of
Setche. He left France for America
in 1860 and completed his theological
studies in a seminary at Quebec where
he was ordained a priest on June 20,
1862. Shortly afterward he was sent
to the northern missions, in the wilds
of the Athabasca country. Though
encountering many %hardships he work
ed with Protestant and Catholic alike
and did much more than any living
man in civilizing the native Indians
He befriended the pioneers and trap
pers and packers in the early days
and in return they have honored him
in the scene of his fruitful laborS.
