WORD PAINTING A LOST ART?

United Press Day Service)

Washington, April 4.-Word paint
ing a lost art in congress? Highbrow
literary effort only memory of the
days of John Wesley Gaines of Ten
nessee? Perish the thought.
Representative Andrew Vollmer,
new member from Iowa, has rescued
the English language from the grasp
of word assassins who use it only as
a weapon against adversaries. Maxi
ing his maiden speech" in the house
a short time ago, he pictured his own
fair state as the garden of the Lord
and got the following poetic touch
out of his system:
"The rolling prairie between the
fortieth and forty-fifth parallels OF
north latitude which is folded in the
loving embrace by the limpid silver
of the Father of Waters on the east
and the tawny gold of the Big Mud
DIV on our western slope is gar
den of the Lord, which in the liquid
music of the Indian tongue, appro-
priately was named Iowa, beautiful
land From the day when the first
meadow lark intones her song OF
spring, which no Mendelssohn, no Mo
zart, no Greig, or other inspired hu-
man genius, can approach in its glo-
rious motif of the ever recurring mi
racle of the re-birth of nature, till
that perfect season in the middle west
known as Indian summer, when the
frost is on the pumpkin and the fod-
der's in the shock the 10000 square
miles of Iowa soil are one vast work
shop for the production of the corn,
the royal corn,' which has within its
yellow heart enough Of food and
wealth for all nations"
Shades of Robert G. Ingersoll, word

REMOVING MORNING GLORY PEST

P. P. X. Of Hutchinson County in
quires as follows:
Il have a small garden Of about n
acre. This land is run over with
morning glories so bad that we can
not raise anything on it any more.
What could be done to rid this ground
Of the morning glories?"
Reply by A. N. Hume. ~Agronomist:
For such a small area 1t might be
practicable to pillow the land. then go
over it by hand or with a pitch fork,
and pull up and pile all the root stalks
that can be found near the surface.
Let them dry and burn them. Then
after planting, give the plant an espe-
cial amount OF cultivation SO that no
morning glory plants will be able to
make any leaves above ground.
IF this is not possible, pillow the
land first and go over the field. every
week. with a sharp disc, keeping the
plants entirely below the ground. II
the morning glories by this method,
are kept under SO completely that they
will be smothered to death, the
method will be effective.
"Knrsk millet, sown thickly over
the ground will be effective in partly
smothering them. Millet may be fol-
lowed by rye. The rye may be pas
tured in the fall and spring and the
millet and rye may be repeated the
second season. After that, the land
may be put into a cultivated crop,
and If kept especially clean the morn
Ing glories will die. The gist of the
matter is to smother the weeds by not
permitting them to form leaves above
the surface, and whatever method is
used must be thoroughly attended to,
otherwise little will be accomplished
