HOW To KILL
JOHNSON GRASS

b. Youngblood, director of the state
experiment station at the A. and NJ
College, has the following to say con.
corning killing Johnson grass:
Persistent effort is the only rem.
edy. If the field is set solid to John.
son grass | would advise that 1t be
grazed closely during the spring and
early summer; that 1t then be plowed
repeatedly during the dry summer
months. and then again during the
coolest months when there is posi-.
bility of freeze. Disc il thoroughly
after each frost so that new roots may
be thrown up to be killed by freez-
ing. After this is done 1t is advis.
able to plant the land to cotton In
checks. Cultivate both ways and do
not allow the grass to make growth.
II clean cultivation Is repeated for two
or three years no difficulty will be
experienced in getting rid of the
grass.
killing out spots is a little more
difficult matter. 1t is useless to at.
tempt to dig out the roots unless the
spots are very small would advise
that the roots be left uncultivated so
that the field may be plowed during
the dry and cold months thus killing
the grass. During the cold months
repeatedly pillow and disc In order to
throw the roots up to the cold. Dur
ng the months of vigorous growth,
Keep the grass cut back to the ground
With a hoe. This plan followed con.
'istently and repeatedly for year or
wo will no doubt eliminate the spots

Furniture Casters.

Many furniture casters are made OF
leather, disks Of the required size being
cut out and cemented and compressed
to form the wheel. The wheel Ia then
put into lathe and turned rounding
on its face. Disks of metal are clamped
on each side OF the wheel to serve az
bearings for the axle that runs through
tho wheel. Such casters are made for
use on hardwood floors. Casters Of
compressed felt are also designed for
this purpose. Among other styles Of
casters may DO mentioned those OF
glass. designed to serve for purposes Of
insulation, and ball bearing casters,
one style showing no wheel, but In
stead ball which. when the furniture
is moved, revolves on a circle Of small.
or balls within the caster fitting. Then,
too, there are caster wheels made of
porcelain and of rubber, of lignum
vitae and other hard woods. Great
numbers Of casters are Of iron and
brass.-Exchange. -
