Agricultural Notes.

By Oscar Gunderson, County Representative
A visit to the Advent settle
ment near Clearwater Lake made
us acquainted with several in
dustrious farmers hard at work
clearing land or putting in crops.
Here we found the third silo we
have seen in the county, the prop
ertv of Mr.. M. D. House who
lives just adjoining the Academy
on the west. A meeting of farm
ers will be held in the neighbor-
hood in the near future. On Fri
day we visited the Bohemian set
Element southwest of town.
The men were busy clearing or
planting, while many ofthem are
away at work on road construc-
ton. 1t is fine settlement with
a very tasty school house in their
midst.
QUACK GRASS.
Few counties have more quack
grass than Villas county in pro-
portion to the amount of cult
waited land.
The worst part of the situa-
ton is that many do not seem to
realize how serious a situation it
is. Try to rid an acre of quack-
grass absolutely and see if it will
not cost nearly as much as to
clear new land in the first place.
Many think that a cultivated
crop like corn or potatoes will
kill quack-grass. This treatment
may kill foxtaii, pigweed, sorrell
or other weeds but it has very
little effect on quack. Summer
following with cultivation that
cuts off the stems underground
until the plant smothers, is the
only remedy. This may some
times be done in one summer but
may take two. A small patch
may be smothered with boards
or tar paper. Now nothing but
heroic measures kills quack-grass.
To raise corn, garden stuff or po-
tatoes does not kill it no matter
how much you cultivate. Be
sides, the cultivation carries the
root stocks all over the field and
spreads it over the entire field
Go after it. Remember that in
the western part ofthe state there
are farms abandoned because Of
quackgrass. This may be re-
peated here unless something is
done to check its spread.

women do not want their husbands to
go to war and are welding the veto
power bestowed upon them by the gov
eminent with such effect that in some
instances volunteer regiments have
been thinned to fifty per cent Of their
membership. This far exceeds the
governments estimate Of vetoes. A
protest against their action was made
today by Colonel Morrison, director OF
artillery.
Under certain conditions Colonel
Morrison said notably where the wife
feared she would be deserted he
thought the exercise Of the veto pow
er proper. In nearly every case, how
ever, the. government assumed care OF
the women and families left behind,
he said, and in view Of this he believed
women OF the Dominion should be
more patriotic. Married men had to
do their part, he added, closing with
an appeal to the women not to keen
their husbands at home through senti-
ment.
