OF COURSE FARMER

Profitable Method Of Getting Rid
Of Weeds Is to Sell Them in
Mutton at &c a Pound.

Some men we're looking over u
weedy pasture and one OF them said:
What shall | do with these weeds?-
Quick as a flash his neighbor said:

Every man knows his own business
best and can best decide what kind OF
stock will pay him the greatest profit,
but on most farms there is room for
a small flock Of sheep and at the end
OF the season the money the wool ami

PROF. Bo.LEY ON RUST
Two Kinds Of Rust and 1t Is Diff
hcuit TO Tell Them Apart

In RESPONSE to a letter of in
curry Prof. Bolicv OF the A@ricul-
tural College says:
"RcDlyin@ to yours of the 10th
Will say there are two kinds of
rust. Both are red in the first
stage and black in The second
stage. One of them is not Very
destructive while the SO called
black rust is destructive some

OF the destructive kind or not |
do not know and would hc unable

ii is quite likely To have a slight
amount. at least. as there is al
WAYS a small amount Of this rust
al his time of The year. do not
anticipate any serious damage
from this rust in the vicinity of
Fargo although there may be
some. Where the Two kinds of
rust are mixed it would he diff
cult for an ordinary person To tell
whether lac had the destructive
kind or not. In order to tell the
difference one must bn fairly we'll
trained in order to distinguish be
tween the two"
ut is true there can be no so
called black rust until The red
stage is nast as the black spores
are formed in the identical spots
from which the red spores were
produced earlier in the season.
The apDcarance of the black stage
indicates that the fungus is atsits
maNlum stage of growth. The
damage is all done bv the time
the disease has turned black.
All the spreading of the d.
sease in the early summer is BY
means of the red spores. These
by blowing about in the wind and
becoming lodged on other wheat
e'a"t to grow lherc in The same
sense that wheat sprouts i'm the
ground. The black spores that
are produced later do not grow ON
wheat which shows why rust does
not spread after the black stage
has formed. The black spores
are intended to carry lhe fungus
over winter, they having more
vitality than the rcd spores. They
will not terminate during the fall
or winter but the following spring
they @crlninate and grow on an
other plant altogether different
from Wheat-a bush called the
barberry. y ter gcrminalin.
ordinary small red postules are
formed. and from these postules
comes spores which again grow
on wheat. thus restarting the dis
ease in the wheat crop. There is
some evidence that rust starts in
the south and spreads norlhward
as the wheat crop approaches ma
turity towards the north. This
may account for The fact that rus]
always appears in the southern
part or The state sooner than il
does IN the northern part and in

"cAsAslAncA"

The boy stood on the burning deck,
Whence all but him had fled;
The flame that lit the battle wreck
Shone round him DER the dead.
Yet beautiful and bright he stood,
AS born to rule the storm;
creature OF heroic blood,
A proud, though childlike form.
The flames rolled on-he would not go
Without his fathers word;
That father, faint in death below,
His voice no longer heard
He called aloud: "say, father, say
II yet my task is DONE"
He knew not that the chieftain lay
Unconscious OF his son.
"speak. father" once again he cried,
of l may yet be gone,'
And but the booming shots replied,
And fast the flames rolled on.
Upon his brow he felt their breath,
And in his waving hair,
And looked from that lone post of death
In still, yet brave despair.
And shouted but once more aloud.
"My father, must | stay
While Ger him fast, through sail and shrout
The wreahing fires made way
They wrap the ship in splendor wild,
They caught the flag ON high.
And Strcaned above the gallant child
Like banners i'll the sky.
