KEEP FARMS CLEAN
OF NOxI0US PLANTS
Farmers Should Band Together
and Make Weed Eradication
a Common Object.
(By L. NJ. BENNINGToN.)

The farmers of every neighborhood
should band together and make weed
eradication common object. Indivfd-
ual work alone may keep a farm fair
ly free from troublesome weeds, but
the complete destroying Of weeds can
only be accomplished by concentrated,
persistent effort on the part of the
adjoining land owners
1t is useless for us 10 try to clean
our farms from Aoxious weeds II We
allow ANIMALS to mature seed, and the
perennials to extend their root-sys-
TENS, and SOW grain and grass seed
that contain weed seeds, and broad
cast it in the farm manures.
Fields that are occupied by the
same crop year after year, and where
farm stock is not fed In sufficient num-
bers and variety to compel crop rota-
ton are seldom free from Hoxious
weeds.
Crop rotations and grass growing
provide constant disturbance to nox-
ious weeds, and when REINFORCED by
q relentless war on roadside and pas
ture weeds and clean cultivation, ul-
timately drive out many of the more
troublesome varieties.
On farms where cattle, horses,
sheep and hogs are kept in large num-
bers the owner is compelled to grow a
variety Of crops and follow rotation
that will constantly disturb the weeds.
This practice will enable him to clean
up his fields from weed pests.
Different kinds Of weeds require
different treatment, but an intelligent,
persistent effort will bring q farm to
q condition so that its owner may d.
rect moro attention to certain po1-
tions OF the farm that are infected
with the more troublesome varieties
Of weeds.
Weeds thrive best when they are
not disturbed. Crop rotation and clean
constantly disturb them
and hold them In check.

SHOULU NOT
HAVE MOVED
Story Of a Man Who Was Max.
ing Good, but Rowing Fever
Got the Best of Him.

On May 4th, 1915, the st. Paul Farm.
er's Dispatch contained a very inter.
esting account Of the experiences of a
man from Staples, MINI. Realizing
that he was not making much head
way, he decided to look up home
stead in Canada. With $3.50 he and
his wife took up homestead near
Outlook, Saskatchewan. After recount
ing his experiences of few years, in
which they had undergone hardships
which were likely to be unavoidable,
with small amount Of capital, he
continues the story by stating that
In the fall after fair summers work
on his 100 acres cropped, he cleaned
up nearly all his debts, having now
four good horses, a complete set of
farm machinery including two wagons
and a "Swell" top buggy and eleven
head of cattle. He continues, How
ever, I was not satisfied. I had been
reading of the splendid homesteads
that were to be had in Montana.
Wheat was cheap and I thought it
would get cheaper, SO began to think
that homesteading as moneymaking
proposition was better than farming.
did not stop to consider that wheat
was not the only thing; as a matter
of fact had sold pork for IA cents
pound. Eggs and butter had kept us
In groceries and more, we had now
four milch cows, two heifers coming in
and more growing up. We had cream
separator, and some hogs. We had
quarter section Of land that could
raise an abundance of small grain,
roots and grass for feed, but could
not see all that; had the moving
fever, and decided to SELL
I set the price on the land at 5000
cash. could not find anyone with
that much money, however, so came
down until finally sold for 400.
We had an auction and sold the per- |
sonal property. On the sale we got !
Just about enough cash to pay the auc-
tioneer; the rest was all notes.
The horses brought about two-thirds |
what they were worth. The imple-
ments sold for hardly one-third OF
what they had cost. The cattle
brought good price.
Must Make Another Start.
We now have q homestead in Mop-
fana, but we find that after moving
here and getting settled, what money
we had did not go far. We have three
horses, about all the implements we
need. and a little better buildings
than we had on our former place. We
have no cattle, though we had to build
much fence to keep ranch stock out
OF our fields. We have about $500
worth OF honest debts.
True, we have half section In
place of quarter, but that is no good
to US, as long as we have not the
capital with which to work it.
In summarizing it all up see where
I made my mistake. It will take fully
FIVE years to get into as good circum-
stances as we were before we made
the change. It Is five years lost.
My advice to anyone contemplat-
Ing change of location is to think
twice before you act, and If your pres
snt circumstances are not too bad,

GROWERS URGED TO
IMPROVE PACKAGE
Attractive and Carefully Graded
Fruit viii Always Command
Highest Prices.
(By L. M. BENNINGToN.)

That all fruit ought to be carefully
| graded and packed is an axiom most
frequently neglected in practice. AL
though considerable advance has been
made in this respect, stimulated, no
doubt, by the advice of statesmen,
there is still room in many instances
for improvement.
A few small or specked apples, or
bruised pears, or plums lacking in ap-
pearance and color, will ruin the value
of whole package; and fruit thrown
together just as it is picked returns
only hall the price Of consignment
which is dispatched tastefully and
consistently.
An attractive and wellpacked con-
signment Of fruit will eften bring
twice the price Of aps slovenly and
indifferently packed
Not taking into account the choicest
fruit, which may be decorated with
and packed in fancy paper, shavings
and cotton wool, the ordinary paper
of commerce is suitable, but thicker
paper is required for apples and pears
to prevent bruising.
Newspapers answer admirably for
packing purposes. Wood wool, espe-
cially prepared in several qualities,
may be obtained at q reasonable
price.
Fruit growers are frequently urged
to improve their packages. but there
are difficulties which must be sur
mounted.
The grower must discover the rank
of the public and conform to their
tastes and predictions. Instead of
sending all his fruit to one market
he must use his ingenuity and energy
In dispatching his fruit where It Is
most acceptable and profitable.
In one great market there may be
! supernuity and In another an insult
acient supply Of certain kinds OF fruit.
It il the growers business to md
put these diversities and to market
his wares accordingly, and he can do
his BY the aid Of tho telegraph and
The telephone.
A grower should from time to time
attend the different markets, not only
10 learn the condition in which his
,wn fruit arrives, but to obtain infor-
mstion and hints Tor his future gut6

The bodies were carried down to
