Ing. AS the land was rather cloddy
and no rain fell, a frog-foot roller was
used. A land leveler was then run
both ways as the field was full of dead
burrows and back burrows from prev.
ious forty years blowing. The land
leveler was followed by the peg-tooth
harrow.
About ten days later another fine
crop of weeds was double-disked and
the harrow used later. The middle Of
June the field was narrowed and rolled
again with a frogfoot roller, just pre-
yious to seeding with the grain drill.
The single disk drill loosened up the
surface sufficiently for a soil mulch.
Except in a few dead burrows which
were filled with loose, dry dirt, the
seed was PUT In moist soil about one

fact that there was not a rain of one

condition and should continue to yield
for ten years, though we will doubtless
not leave 1t down that long.

that the animal had had several
calves. A few weeks ago the purchas.

County School Notes.

Myrtle Benedict reports a per.

No. so, for the past month. That
is as it should in this county could

The city of Deadwood is putting
forth every effort to make the
teachers comfortable while there
attending the state meeting next
week.
We are planning a series of
evening lectures for rural schools
that care to take advantage of
them during the months of Nov
ember and December.
The October issue of the South
Dakota Educator has printed the
answers to the questions in Cur
rent Events as appeared in our in
stitute folder. Teachers will do
well to make use of these questions
and answers in their school work.
Al school day is five and one half
hours in length. School is to be-
gin at niue o'clock and close at
four. Any departure from this
cannot help but meet with dis
favor among the patrons.
The first library certificate for
the year was issued to Irene Los
ash, last week. !.
Bon Homme County will be well
represented on the program at the
state teachers meeting next week.
Complaint reaches this office
that teachers are not receiving the
magazines for which they sub
scribed during institute. We
hope that where such cases occur,
this Office will be fully informed
of the particulars.
We wonder how many Bon
Homme county teachers are able
to explain the meaning of 'iniative

teachers know what referred laws
are before the voters this fall.

A Firm Seed Bed Essential.

Alfalfa requires a firm seed bed. For
this 9 1t is not advisable to plow
the land Immediately before seeding,
AZ it is almost impossible to get the
soil sufficiently Arm again.
In western Kansas, herds Of cattle
are rounded up and driven over the
fields to pack the sell after blowing It.
II, In order to get the land leveled up
and in shape to seed, it is necessary to
plow Just before seeding, this blowing
should be as shallow as possible, and
packer, roller, and harrow used to
make II solid again. Before seeding,
the surface OF the field should be pro-
vided with perfect drainage by the
s of leveler, grader, and pillow.
bitches may be made broad with slop-
ing banks, SO as not to interfere with
seeding or moving. Alfalfa will not
grow where water stands and freezes
over II in winter Or gets stagnant in
summer.

RAISING HEMP TO
ERADICATE WEEDS
Results Given Of Interesting Ex.
perimentS Made by Wiscon-
sin Experts.

That Canada thistles and quack grass
can be eradicated by growing hemp is
the opinion OF A. L. Stone OF the Col.
lege of Agriculture, University OF Wis.
consin.
Experiments have been tried on the
prison farm at Waupun and on other
farms in that vicinity and the conclu.
sion drawn from these tests is that
Canada thistles can be completely de,
stroyed by one crop Of hemp and that
a field badly infested with quack grass
must be cropped with hemp for two
successive years to thoroughly destroy
the weeds.
Since hemp will grow only on very
fertile soil, heavy coats OF fertilizer
are necessary TO insure a good stand.
It is also important that the land be
plowed the preceding fall and kept free
from weeds until II freezes up. In or.
der to give the hemp a better chance
in the spring.
