coming from seeds, cultivate the
ground weekly during the growing
season and do not permit the weeds
to go to seed, or, if this is too COSTLY.
let the weeds have their own wav ex-
cept during the early growth of cult
waited crops. Frequent cultivation is
necessary to first class yield.
To Kill Weeds in a Lawn.
IN case of weeds in lawn, most of
them may be kept in check by enrich
ing the ground literally, enabling the
better grasses to thrive by "driving
the weeds to the WALL" Right here it
might be we'll to suggest that nitrate
OF soda at the rate of $50 pounds per
acre, applied to the lawn just before
sprlnkllng or before a rain hastens
the growth Of grass and gives it a
dark color. 1t is we'll to apply two or
three times during the summer.
How to Deal With Quack Grass.
Quack grass (Agropyron repens) is
probably the worst week in this local
lty. 1t is because it holds it's own
we'll and spreads whenever there is
a chance, and chiefly because it is
not recognized until it is scattered
far and wide. It is carried by the
plow, harrow and cultivator from one
end of the field to the other. To have
a farm or garden we'll seeded to this
grass is calamity to be avoided.
! All that is needed to exterminate
a field of quack grass is the right
kind of man who will carefully OBJ
serve and study the plant, fighting
with method and thoroughness.
Plants of this sort can not gain an,
if the green leaves are not allowed t,
appear. The nourishment stored in tn,
white root stocks underground will ali
the plant to send up slender leave
and if these remain, the plants gail
and recruit, but if the leaves start I'm
foreground and are cut off before com
ing to the light, these white roo
stocks are drawn on again to furnis1
food to start more leaves and thus
IN time become exhausted. Keep al
green leaves from showing them
selves. Do not delay to see gree
leaves.
1t is very difficult to eradicat
quack grass by summer-fallowin
during a dry year. A good deal of
will remain dormant and grow the fo1
2 lowing spring.
Salt has proven a failure in the dc
, struction of quack grass.
Tarred building paper applied owe
5 small areas so as to completely e,
: clude every ray of light for about tw
: months during the hot part of tn
summer has proven effective in riddin
y the ground of the weed.
The Spraying With Chemicals

WEED ERADICATION.
(By Prof. P. L. JOhnsrud.

The great mass of farmers and
gardeners think t okill weed some
royal easy process, such as moving in
a certain phase of the moon or GER
tain definite period in the year, or by
once or twice cultivating. After the
cultivation he waits until the leaves
are several inches high before making
the next effort. Such person will
always have the company of weed

MANY STRAY DOGS
 SEEN ON STREETS
None Will Be Taken Up Until Limit for Paying
 Tax Expires

Since the temporary abolishment of T
 city dog catcher. considerable numbers of
 complaints have come to city officials re-
 few weeks these complaints have become
 in some cases serious.
 Through the lack of system there has
 been much confusion. but it was officially stated yesterday that the correct place to report a stray dog, a mad dog or a sus- picious dog was to the office of License Collector James Boggan, at the city hall,
 the present quarters of Dog Commissioner Kelly. In the last day or two complaints regarding dogs ha"s usually resulted in confusion. One lady on the Southside has
 been very much frightened by very
 poor. emaciated dog, acting peculiarly.
 which has been lettering in the neighbor- hood She called the police department, which referred her to the humane society;
 the latter referred her to the health de- pertinent. and the health department re- ferred her back to the police department.
 When the complaint was taken directly
 to Judge Lane, however, he ordered an immediate investigation. Dog Comnis-
 sioner Kelly explained yesterday that until the dog tax collection had been closed, which will be about the first of
 next month. no stray dogs are being cap tured except upon complaint. He said all complaints should be telephoned to Mr. Boggan's office where he would receive them.
 Within the next week or two. 1t is planned to begin offering a reward for every stray dog without a license 1 him and in this way it is believed the ! town will be cleaned up of stray dogs
 Mir. Kelly estimates that there are fully 250O0 dogs in the city and that about one | third of them only are being properly l looked after by owners.

"The county ought to have the benefit of the revenue of the sheriff's office over and above req sonable compensation paid to him." ''The fee system will not be abol- ished. Costs in criminal cases will still be collected from convicted criminals. It is the disposition of these fees. which now go to the officers of the law, which will be changed"
