Washington.-Van GheH Geldemees-
ter, sou of the religious adviser to
Queen Wilhelmina of Holland, has by
a brief visit to Washington, after con-
ferences in Berlin with high German
officials, set in motion much specula-

Europe
Mr. Geldemeester, it became known

after the Lusitania was sunk and re-
ceived certain impressions concerning
the German attitude toward the war
and the ultimate making of peace

with the authority of the German Of

the hope that informally he could por-

German ambassador. The latter, learn

foreign office, gave his visitor letter

forth.
While in Washington the visitor
from The Netherlands gave the i'm
preston to those with whom he talked
that there was q peace party OF some
Importance in Great Britain, as well
as in Germany, and that what was
most needed at present was a contin-

friends that he feared his own coun-
ry-Holland-might even be drawn
into the conflict if it continued, but
was hopeful that efforts by neutrals to
mediate, If begun now, would be sue.

Most significant of the Impressions
which Mr.. Geldemeester brought from
Berlin, it was said, was that large
section of the populace and an import

While tillage in its relation to
weeds usually is practiced for the
benefit of the immediate crop 1t also
may serve the purpose of preventing
hosts Of weeds from maturing seed"
opens the discussion in Farmers Bull
letin No. $50, Weeds: How to Control
Them" This bulletin gives discus
sion of the weed problem on the farm,
dealing with prevention and eradica-
ton.
1t is possible for a farmer, espe-
cially If he follows a good rotation
system, to make his farm almost
Weed-free by observing three main
principles of weed control: ~ pre-
venting the weeds from going to seed
on the farm; CD preventing the intro
iuction of weed seeds on the farm
and go preventing perennial weeds
from making top growth. These
three principles are of far greater inn
portance than the particular methods
used to carry them out. Often the
campaign against weeds is stopped
when success is in sight and the weeds
soon recover Clearing the farm of
perennial weeds is no easy task, re-
curing intelligence and persever-
ance.
The thorough preparation of the
seed bed for every crop is an impor-
tant part in the control of weeds.
After blowing the disk, sprirNy-toothed
or spike-toothed harrow to reduce the
soil to good seed bed condition is
used. Each Of these borrowings de-
stroys hosts of young weed seed
lings. Thorough narrowing at this
period may be depended upon to kill
a large proportion of the weeds that
appear at this season.
XIII the Weeds Early.
After planting the cultivated crop
the same object, that of attacking the
weeds when young, should be kept
in mind. To this end a drag harrow
or spike-toothed harrow is frequent
ly used, both before and after the
crop comes up. More weeds will be
killed by one dragging at this time
than by several civilizations when the
plants have become larger. The weed
