WAY or SOLVING THE WEED PROBLEM
without n cultivated crop growing on
the land. Many farmers have eradi
Gated perennial weeds by giving thor.
ough cultivation to n crop. Cultiva-
ton Is especially effective IL the crop
has been planted in check rows, 80 as
to permit working Ia two directions.
/ The ordinary shovel and tooth culti-
yators permit many weed stems to slip
through unframed. II Is often best,
therefore, to -eultiyators of the
sweep or weed knife type. These
sweeps skim along under the surface
of the soil and cut of all weed stems.
On many OF the modern cultiyators
sweeps nine to eighteen inches wide
may be attached In place OF the shov.
els.
No matter how thoroughly the tops
have been kept down during the period
of cultivation, most well established
perennials will continue to send up
tops after cultivation stops. This stu
alton may be met by frequent chop
pings with hoe. Hand hoeing In
such cases Is not as tedious as 1t may
seem. since most perennials do not oc-
cupy the land soidly, but occur IN
patches. II the top growth is thus thor
oughly kept down one year Is usually
sufficient 10 eradicate even the worst
OF our perennials. This plan is espe
cially effective against Canada thistle.
bull nettie and uindweed
Perennials may often be attacked
most effectively by clean cultivation
without growing a cultivated crop-in
other words, by bare fallow. 1t Is
seldom advisab bic TO fallow for an en-
tire year, since this does not permit
the farmer to get any use of his land.
A better plan Is to use the land during
the early part OF the season and to fal-
low it the latter part. For instance.
the land may be pastured up till mid
summer. or a crop of hay or small
grain may be taken OFF before starting
the faIlow. This plan has the add
tional advantage of starting the work
of eradication by following at Il period
when nearly all weeds are In their
most susceptible stage. Under this
plan the work of following should be
started as soon after harvest as posi-
Bile. The land should be plowed and
then narrowed or disked at frequent
intervals during the remainder OF the
season to prevent top growth.
Thick stands and vigorous growth OF
smother crops mag be depended on TO
keep down the top growth OF peren-
mails The most commonly used smoth-
err crops are alfalfa, buckwheat. soy
beans, millet. sorghum ana bur clover.
Some weeds are more susceptible to
this treatment than Others. Nut grass
may be eradicated by continuous
succession Of smother crops. including
soy beans or cowpeas In the summer
and bur clover or winter grains for a
winter crop.
Cutting on repeatedly the tops OF per-
ennial weeds with mower. scythe or
other tool may sometimes be used to
advantage This Is of most use on pas
lures. roadsides and other uncuitivated
places. 1t has been found that now
ing twice year for two years win
eradicate the fern brake. one Of tbs
bad weeds Of pastures In New England
and New York.

BRITISH PUBLICATION
 OF CONFIDENTIAL REPORTS.
May Call For Rebuke From the
 Washington Government

Washington, Nov 22-If it develops that the British government gave out for publication the contents of re- port made by American Ambassador Gerard at Berlin regarding the alleged cruel treatment of British war pris- oners in German prison camps, the United States may determine that such publication is embarrassing and make representations to prevent the publication of any similar report Tho state department feels that a report of such a nature, made by an Ameri- can diplomat acting for Great Britain, should not be given out for publica- ton.
 Officials pointed out today that the making public of such reports, ob- viously of a more or less conf1den- tia1 character, tended to embarrass diplomatic representatives and might seriously hamper them in their work. They recalled the recent publication in London of reports from the Ameri- can legation at Brussels regarding the execution of Miss Edith Caven.
 Tonight the state department had not received copy of the report said to have been made by Ambassador erard nor was it known officially that the British government had given out the published excerpts.

FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD
 WANTS DECISION ON POWERS. Whether It is Authorized to Reduce
 the Number of Reserve Districts.

Washington, Nov. P. Attorney General Gregory will be asked by the federal reserve board to interpret the provisions of the federal reserve act and determine whether in his opinion the board has authority to reduce the number of reserve districts. This de- cision was reached onight after the board had considered the question for several hours in connection with ap- Deals now before it for changes in the location of reserve banks and re- aiigrment : the boundaries of reserve districts.
 ing the receipt of MT. Gregorv's opinion the appeals now pending win not he decided The subject proba- bly, will not be taken up again for several weeks
 Counsel for the board has held that 1t has no right to reduce the number of districts, out attorneys for appeal ing banks take the other view, It
 has been understood that three or four of the seven members of the board hold that it has the power but
 the decisic~ of the attorney probably will settle the question.
 The appeals now before the board include that of Baltimore to be desig- mated as a reserve bank c1y in place of Richmond: that of Pittsburgh to replace Cleveland In me same capacl- | ty: that of banks in southern Wis
 consin to be shifted from the Min
 neapolis to the Chicago district; that of banks in western Connecticut tc he shifted to the New York from the l Boston district and that of banks ir 1 Louisiana to be included in the Dal- las district instead of the Atlanta dis | trict-
 Action will be deferred on these ap- peals because, in the view of mem | bers, a decision unfolding the boards powers to reduce the number of re- serve districts might lead to realign- | ment of district boundaries whicf | which would settle several of the problems presented without direcf action on the petitions.

London, Nov. p, 1920 p. m.-No definite news has been received here of Greeces. reply to the entente allies demands for guarantees for the safety of the Anglo-French forces landed at aSaloniki or for that of the Serbians who might be forced over the Greek frontier One despatch from Athens, however, says the Greek cabinet is dis posed to accept the conditions laid down by the entente powers except the condition requiring Greece to partici- pate in the war, and that solution Of the whole difficulty may be expected immediately.
 Blockade of Greek Commerce.
 Meanwhile the blockade of Greek commerce has commenced, and Italy, it is reported, is participating in the measures of restraint decided upon. This, with the news that the Serbians have won victory over the Bulgari- ans northeast of Pristina, that the Bulgarians have delayed their march on Honastir, and that the Austro- Ger mans are laboring under difficulties as a result of the wintry weather, has created a more hopeful feeling in the capitals of the entente allies. The British and French forces daily are being strengthened by men and guns landed at fSaloniki and part of the re- inforeements are being sent to Monas- ,tir where the Serbians also are re- ported to be concentrating ana thfea1-9 ening the Bulgarians at Prilep.
 Rumania in Same Position as Greece. Rumania finds herself in much the anne position as Greece, with both the antente allies and the central powers bringing pressure to bear upon her. The Germans, it is said, are asking Rumania to give assurances of her continued neutrality and also are of- fering her concessions if she inter venes in the war on the side of the Teutonic allies. With a big Russian army in Bessarabia, however, it is be- lieved in military circles here to be hardly likely that Rumania will ac- cept the second alternative. On the whole. it is expected here that the firm attitude of the entente powers toward Greece will clear the Balkan situation before very long.
 Little News from Battiefieids.
 There is little news of importance from any of the other fronts. The Italians by their continued offensive are strengthening their positions around Gorizia, which, it is believed, cannot hold out much longer. On the western front the British and French artillery has become more active in Flanders and Champagne, which on previous occasions has been the signal for offensive movements. The Rus yians, since tFey regained the. ground they lost along the Styr river, have been inactive. except for minor attacks E the Dvinsk region. The Petrogfad correspondents, however, predict that more important events are impending
 Another f1otilla of British submarines is reported to have arrived in the Baltic.
