ADVOCATE sMOTHERING
One Magazine Devoted to Farm In
terests In Iowa Suggest This
10 the Best Method Of
Elimination.

There is almost no limit to the
hardihood of certain perennial weeds.
Their habit Of storing food supply to
the root enables them to produce
leaves and stems repeatedly, and just
as soon as leaf shows itself above
ground the process of storing up food
in the root begins all over again. Be-
cause of this. says the Iowa Home
stead, there is only one successful
plan of destroying such perennial
weeds as Canada thistle, bull nettle,
quack grass and morning glory
smothering them.
In outlining a plan for destroying
perennial weeds 1t Is an easy matter
to recommend the summer fallow plan
by which the surface is kept cult
waited during an entire growing season.
However, the average man does not
feel as though he can give up the use
OF his land for year, and therefore
some system must be sought out that
will enable him to grow a crop and at
the same time reduce his weed en-.
enies.
The. national department OF agricrl-
ture is Investigating the weed prob
lem and 1t fails to indorse the sum-
mer fallow problem plan for the rea-
son that we have mentioned. A better
method. according to the department,
is to use the land during the early
part Of the season. and to fallow it the
latter part. Thus the land may be
pastured up to midsummer, or a crop
of hay or small grain may be taken or
before starting the fallow.
FaIlow at Early Stage.
The plan has the advantage of start
ing the work of eradication by fal-
lowing at a 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 possible. The land is
plowed and then narrowed or diskei
at frequent intervals during the re-
mainder of the season to prevent too
growth. Ordinarily shallow blowing
is best in following for weed con-
troll, as this keeps the mass of weed
roots at or near the surface where
they will be more easily dried out by
the sun. Under this plan the greater
part Of the eradication is done by
large implements and without the
hindrance Of cultivated crops. Further
when the farmer is ordinarily not
pressed with other work.
AS smother crops, those most COM
monty used are alfalfa. buckwheat,
soy beans, millet. sorghum and bur
clover. Alfalfa, where 1t succeeds
well, is the most effective smother
crop, largely because it combines fire.
uuent clipping with the smothering ef-
feet. Closely allied with the smother
crops for keeping down perennials is
moving or cutting, in use on pastures,
roadsides and other uncultivated
places Pasturing with sheep, hogs or
goats is Of some value in eliminating
the perennials and has been used to
great advantage In getting rid Of such
weeds as bindweed. or wild morning
glory. While smother crops, pastur-
ing and moving may seldom be relieI
upon to completely eradicate perennial
weeds. they make much easier the
work Of weed eradication by cultiva-
ton that should follow.

le.. The flames were then burning up
from the front gable. Mr.. Schneider
called Paul Azinger, who turned in an

the hills and the character of the road.
The run was made out Concert and

to the club. The fire department re-

The cause of the fire is believed to

we're seen first coming from the gable

stronger the theory that it was a de-
fective chimney. The electric wiring
had been gone over, and everything

thought perhaps a spark from the
range had been communicated to the

CATTLE DISEASE
PUTS BAN ON CITY

The city and the county of New

yesterday by the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture. The quaran-
tine prohibits the shipment Of live
cattle into or out Of the city and

Nassau and Roslyn Kings and Queens,
be said, were free from the scourge,
and the order was part of plan TO
modify the quarantine on places not
affected.
"No livestock is kept in Manhattan"

Westchester County or Staten Island.
Conditions and prices will remain as
they have been for two months. The

GREETING
IS WORLD PEACE CALL

Though all Europe is wasted by war,
with no sign of peace in sight, Andrew
Carnegie is optimistic as ever. Friends
of the laird are receiving to-day a
folder marked "Near Years Greetings"
containing tract on universal peace,
in which he makes plans for the con-
vening of world congress as soon as
hostilities have ceased.
The Gar comes in for high praise
for his services in organizing the
Hague tribunal, and Mr.. Carnegie sug-
gests that that potentate is just the
man TO call the next one after war is
over, when linen cease to act like
savage beasts, killing each other, and
We have before us-war abolished,
peace enthroned."
as this, the most terrible, most de-
structive and most uncalled for Of
wars" Carnegie asks, "to be the last
between civilized nations? IL certainly
should be and can easily be made so,
AID the world thus cleared of its
greatest crime. Arbitration tribunals
have already pronounced righteous
judgment in no less than 627 cases, and
not one has been challenged.
-Four Of the nations now engaged
in war have resorted to arbitration be-
fore the Hague tribunal for settlement
of their disputes: France six times,
Britain five, Germany three, Russia
two and the United States three times
One OF these disputes involved no less
than twelve, another six nations, and
the verdicts of the tribunal were ac-
cepted without demur!
"When such peaceful settlement of
international disputes is already with
in reach. why should not the nations
named, inviting others to cooperate,
agree that future differences shall be
settled peacefully as these were? They
could go a step further, if necessary.
and resolve that nations refusing TO
accept such peaceful settlement shall
resort 20 war at their peril, since ar
bitration had become the guardian an
gel of world peace!
"The FIVE nations named, Britain,
France, Germany, Russia and the
United States. or substitutes for any
of the five which may decline to act,
have only 20 agree that disputes arts

be thus arbitrated and, behold, blessed

this first call; to his second call no
less than forty-four attended. May

Amendments to the bill were voted

Senator Reed offered the African ex-
