Judge Hand of San Francisco recently remarked from the
bench that if you started to bar lascivious literature from the
mails that Smollett, Swift and Dickens would have to go. While
the two first mentioned authors came under the ban, Dickens does
not. We think that Judge Hand would find it hard to point
out a single paragraph of Dickens that could be classed as las
civous. There is not a single chapter of Dickens that could not
be read in any company.

order 10 get a good crop, ! believe
it is perfectly safe to harrow flax If
the narrowing is done with a reason.
able amount Of judgment.
My advice Is about as follows; DO
not undertake to harrow flax when
very young When the plants are
about three or four inches high they
will stand a good deal Of punishment
during the heat OF tho day: The har.
rowing should be done when the
plants are almost wiltcd from heat,
when they seem to be tougher and
do not break over so easily. Pigeon.
grass is also most easily killed then.
Examine the ground carefully and
find out about how many plants you
have per inch in the drill row. If
there are three or four or more
young flax plants per inch in the
drill row il will not do a bit of harm
il the harrow cuts out a bunch Of
them, every thee or four inches.
The harrow or weeder should be run
crossways of the drill row for the
reason that it tends to thin the
plants il they are too thick and at
the same time do it evenly. Try a
samll area. say an acre or two, in the
heat of the day and then look owe
your work the next morning. Make
up your mid whethed you have killed
enough weeds to pay for the work. 1t
is my opinion that narrowing will
prove beneficial in many fields where
there are numerous growths Of
pigeon grass. Russian thistle and
other small weeds, and especially
beneficial If the flax is too thickly
seeded. There should not be ovcr an
average Of one flax plant per inch in
the drill row.
TO learn whether narrowing pays,
leave Il patch unllarrOwcd to contrast
the rcsults from day to day and tho

a splendid faith in Bismarck and her
