$4,000 girl clerks OF department
stores walking New York's grim
paYements in search of work.
Elizabeth butcher of the Retail
Clerks union had this to say:
"In normal times 100000 clerks are
employed in New York city. Many
of these are idle now, as the stores
laid off hundreds of employees in No
Vember. In the union we get only the
most ambitious, intelligent girls.
Thousands of girl clerks are too in
different or too thriftless or poor to
pay union dues. In normal years in
New York 10000 extra clerks are en-
pIoyed for the holiday season. This
year only 1000 were employed, IeaV-
ing $4,000 without work"
Rose SchneideTman of the WOm-
ans Trade Union league, the fore
most figure in New York's famous
shirtwaist strike, says there are at
least 10000 unOrganized women in
New York looking vainIy for work.
Perhaps the most careful estimate
Of a situation unparalleled in the
city's history was that furnished me
by Mrs. P. J. O'Connen, superintend-
ent of the Alliance Employment Bu-
reaU, a philanthropic enterprise back
ed by Mrs. Andrew Carnegie, Mrs.
James Speyer and other notable New
York women.

many applications for work as in

Her office at "a Madison av. was
thTonged with pale, anxious, pitifuIly
young girI-wOTkers as we talked.
Here we do not place any girl in a
position until we have Investigated
it, she explained. THAT is why we
refuse to place girls in department
stores.

to believe that SIS is the average-we

ton of theft waits at her elbow; so
long as an underpaid girl may be
spoken to across the counter by any,
one, on any pretext, there is the peril
of an immoral life.
This is, even normally, a dull sea-
son. But at this season in normal
years we begin to get applications for
girls to work on straw hats. This
year we have none. In normal years
we are able to place many girls who
are good dressmakers. Beginning
with the fall season we have been I'M
able to place any.
1.-THE worst feature of the unem-
ployment situation as I see it is the
fact that the youngest workers are
the first to suffer. Owing to the short
hours prescribed by the Iaw-and Pm
glad it does prescribe them-the en-
ployer lays off the youngest workers
first-the boys and girls between IA
and Is years of age"
This seems to me the most harrow
ing fact of the unemployment crisis
as it affects women. The girls who
are the first to be discharged are pre-
ciseIy those young, impressionabIe,
fond of pretty clothes, and feeling the
call of sex at its most urgent hour.
To them Vice will offer its insidious
alternative of ease and luxury.
Vice has no dull season. 1t never
lays anybody off except for age. For
this reason the unemployment situa-
ton in this grim city is much more
critical for it's women than its men.

cuss the best ways TO develop egg
laying qualities in poultry, Some
believe strongly in trap-nesting and
others do not. One OF the advocates
of trap-nesting tells the following
story:
"Once at a poultry show met a
man who did not think the trap
nest necessary, as he had taken q
correspondence course in How TO
tell the layers and could pick 'em
out. We had a pen on exhibition
consisting OF No. 2262; No. 40, anoth-
err hen which the trap nest had
shown 10 be a very poor layer, and
a hen which had not been tested.
al at once asked him TO pick out
the best layers from that pen. and
he picked the poor layer and the
INFESTED hen as good layers. and re-
jected the 2OO-egg hens as poor lay
ers."

o 10 cure the evil. A farm can be made
almost free Of weeds by strictly OBJ
serving the following principles; az
prevent weeds from going 10
seed on the farm: (2) prevent
weed seeds being brought 10
the farm; and (3) in the
case OF perennial weeds, prevent
them from making top growth and
by so doing finally starve out the
underground parts.
The application Of the three pre-
ventive methods outlined here is
fully believed TO control the weeds.
The annual and biennial weeds
propagate themselves by seeds alone.
In dealing with them IL is neces-
sary to observe only the first two
Of the above principles.
Most perennial weeds propagate
themselves by their underground
parts as well as by their seeds. In
dealing with them, therefore, 10 is
necessary 10 observe all three Of the
above principles.
When to Begin Destroying Weeds.
Now is the accepted and best time
TO begin destroying weeds. Read
carefully the above principles and
be governed thereby. There are an
nual. biennial and perennial weeds
now on your farm that should be
destroyed for the sake OF your crops
next year.
begin destroying in the yard, as
many people have in Berea. After
all the weeds have been destroyed
in the yard move TO the garden. For
The sake Of the wife kill all in the
garden. Destroy all inside and out
side OF garden fence. After you get
through with yard and garden go
at once 10 the cultivated fields, never
rest until you have won the vic
tory there.
The weeds are smiling at us. They
are satisfied 10 Just have the edges
Of yard. garden and cultivated fields,
f,r they have no trouble in spread
i1e over the remainder OF the sur
face.

WEEDS-HOw TO CONTROL
THEM

The hottest battle Of the war is
now raging between the Weeds and
Farmers. For the last two weeks
the Weeds gained on the Farmers.
Last week Corn advanced on the
Weeds. winning the third battle.
AT the close of the week everybody
thought il was settled as far as
Corn was concerned. Since the rain
has started. Weeds made another
attack on Corn. while farmers were
helping Cowpeas and Soy Beans.
Cowpeas and Soy Beans are fighting
hard. II looks as IL they are going
to win by the help OF the Farmers.
Corn, Cowpeas, Soy Beans and In
fact all the Companies belonging to
the farm will go down in defeat II
farmers don't join in with all the
forces they can muster together and
fight the enemy. the Weeds.
So powerful are the weed enemies
in reducing crop yields, while at
the same time multiplying labor,
that the farmer should at every
turn strengthen his position against
them. He should bear these invad-
crs in mind in planning the crops he
will grow aud in deciding on the
fields where he will grow these
crops. in choosing implements he
will use. in buying his seeds, and
in many other farm activities. Lack
~ careful planning with reference
o. weeds is apparent in nearly ev-
cry community.
Here a man planned out more corn
than he could properly care for.
There a man has left his field In
meadow too many years. Here a
man did not thoroughly prepare his
land for alfalfa. There a man has
seeded clover that was full Of weed
seeds. And for just such causes
weeds not only make serious raids
on the crop yields, hut at the same
time thoroughly infest the land ana
fortify themselves against future at
tacks.

What Is a Weedl

There are many definitions, but !
believe the following is a good one
for a weed. A weed is wild plant
that has the habit Of intruding
where not wanted.
Weeds. even under adverse con-
diiions. are able 10 maintain their
existence. In doing this n variety
Of methods are used. Some weeds
produce an immense quantity OF
seeds: some mature seeds in a very
short time: some have seeds when
are difficult 10 separate from crop
seeds: some possess roots or root
stocks that live for q number OF
years. II may be seen, therefore,
that weeds persist because they are
