JAY QUICK LIES IN HOSPITAL

Jay Quick, son Of Contractor E. w.
Quick, suffered compound fracture
of his collar bone in fall Thursday
forenoon when the scaffolding gave
way at house being built at the
Peter Berger farm near town. Young
Quick and another man were fitting in
the cornice at one end of the roof,
when the plank on which they were
standing gave way. In the fall to
the ground, he struck large timber,
the force of which badly shattered the
collar bone in two places and for the
time rendering him unconscious. On
Friday it was decided to remove the
patient from his home on Fifth street
to the hospital where an operation
was performed to place together the
splintered parts of the collar bone.
Considering the character of the acci-
dent the patient is progressing toward
a recovery quite favorably.

LANGDON FARMER TELLS
OF QUACK GRASS REMEDY
Pat SCuiIy Has Succeeded in EradiCatinq This
Weed from His farm Tells How

While in town on Monday p. Scully
told us of a means of ridding the farm
of quack grass, which he had tried
and found successful on more than one
occasion at his place east of Langdon.
In addition to its efficacy the treat
ment has the advantage that while
ridding the ground of the quack grass
the owner is right along at the same
time cropping that piece of his land,
the same as the rest of the farm Mr..
Scully's plan is that at about thresh-
ing time cover the patch of ground to
be treated to a depth OF nearly foot
with straw from the machine. Just
before freezing up, or along late in
the fall burn the straw and plow at a
depth of two or three inches, using q
sharp plow share so as to make 2
clean cut at the roots of the quack
grass. Leave the land as it was
turned over by the pillow along through
the winter and until the last week of
May or the first week in June, at
winch time ploW again, this time to a
depth of from four to six inches and
sow to barley, seeding with a peck
more barley than is sown on other
land. If this treatment is repeated
two or three seasons Mr.. Scully is
able to assure anyone that there will
be no further trouble with quack
grass. He claims that the strong I've
formed from the burnt straw, together
with the later on freezing temperature
will thoroughly kill and rot the roots
Of the grass in a much more effectual
manner than if the land had been
covered with tar paper or given some
OF the other treatments one reads of
in the farm journals.
