pratice it successfully.
Where We Fail


1. By assuming that seed is free
from fan weed because we cannot
easily see it there.
2. BY not making a vigorous at
tack on the first plants that appear
in new territory.
3. By careless summer-fallowing.
In practically every infested section
in Montana there are fields that ma
ture some seed before the weeds are
destroyed in early summer and fields
that have plants here and there that
escape destruction by tillage. If ten
plants are left to the acre and each
produces only 1000 seeds, there will
be an average of about one seed for
every square foot. After producing
one crop of mixed grain and fan weed,
such a field will be as bad as before
the fallow.
4. BY attempting to fight fan
weed without good surface tillage i'm
plements, such as the Acme type of
harrow, etc.
5. BY allowing some fan weed to
mature in the rows of an intertilled
crop. ..
6. By seeding to grain, grass, or
other crop without first thoroughly
destroying the weeds growing on the
ground.
z. BY not taking advantage of the
fact that alfalfa, clover, or timothy
will stand clipping and fan weed will
not,

SOME POINTS IN
FAN WEED CONTROL

Probably the greater portion of the
State is yet free from fan weed, tho
many more farms and many more
districts are affected each year. Our
further acquaintance with the plant
has but reaffirmed and accentuated the
opinion expressed in Circular IL that
this is our worst weed pest, once it
|gets firmly established on farm. Its
hardness, vigor of growth, and early
and abundant seeding habit make it
almost impossible to eradicate after
fields have become thoroughly seeded
with it. Persistent effort should be
made, therefore, to prevent this weed
from getting foothold on the farm.
Once the afrm is thoroughly infest-
ed with the seed, we do not think the
soil can be entirely freed from the
weed at any reasonable cost, provid-
ed we continue to make small grains
the main crop. Our endeavor will
have to be directed to getting the
best crop possible in spite Of the
weed, and this may compel a radical
change in farm practice. In the Gal
latin Valley the fan weed grows equal
ly we'll on dry and on irrigated land.
It first became serious in the dry-farm
section but it is now rapidly spread
ing over the irrigated farms. The
only places where it does not seem
to thrive are on closely seeded hay
land and in pasture fields with good
close sod. The weed may also be kept
out from field that is summer-fallow-
ed or one planted to cultivated crop
like corn, potatoes, roots, etc. The
final control of this weed, therefore,
must mean more hay and pasture and
more cultivated crops on the farm
and less grain.
For those districts where the weed
is just getting started the following
suggestions are offered, supplement-
ing what was given in Circular IL.
Pure Seed
Fan weed is almost always intro
duced into new territory through i'm
pure seed. 1t is absolutely unsafe to
sow on clean land seed of oats, timo-
thy, clover or alfalfa, without know
ing positively that it was produced on
|land free from the fan weed. It is
practically impossible to clean such
seed that has become infested, and
few seeds left in a bushel are
enough to give the weed start. Care
lessness on this point has been most
disastrous during the past few years.
Hand Pulling
Where only few plants have ap-
peared, it is we'll worth while to pull
them by hand. This is tedious me-
thod but it is feasible if there has
been but slight introduction, though
impracticable in large, badly infested
fields.
Infertilled Crops
Where the weed has become abund-
ant on rather small areas, it is wise
under some conditions to grow an in
fortified crop like corn or potatoes for
two or three years. It will be ne
cessary to cultivate the crop frequent
ly and to pull out by hand the fan
weed that comes up in the rows, out
of reach of the cultivator.
Summer -Fallow
In our experience on the dry farm,
the use of summer-fallow has not
been successful in eradicating this
weed. One of the difficulties is that
the plant starts it's growth so early
The Glasgow courier., 1915-09-10

OTE) have idea the other readers wish

in the season that, where the farmer
has a large area to plow or much
spring seeding to do, much of the seed
is mature before he has time to plow
under the weed crop. If the farmer
had sufficient help and power, the
work could be done early enough, but
this would entail large additional ex-
pense. Even with sufficient help and
power available, wet weather would
frequently prevent working the land
at the right time.
The proper time to plow is before
the seeds mature. Be careful to COW
er all the plants. We have found the
jointer a good attachment to use when
the plants are small. If they are large
use a chain and pull them all under
the furrow. Then pack the soil with
either packer or a disk, following
this with drag harrow.
Under favorable conditions the first
crop Of fan weed is above the ground
in two weeks after tillage. This is
the best time to destroy it. A har-
row of the Acme type or pulverizer
which will work thoroughly an inch or
two of the surface soil will destroy all
these weeds. In another two weeks
favorable moisture conditions anoth-
er crop will be ready for destruction.
However, if the season is dry, and a
surface mulch of three inches of dry
soil is formed, the weeds will not ger
inmate until the moist weather of the
fall. It is is generally advisable,
therefore, to delay seeding winter
wheat until the fall rains start anoth-
er crop of weeds which should be
cleaned off before seeding.
In some seasons continued wet
weather prevents getting over the
ground when the fan weed is just
coming through, and the plants grow
from two to six inches high before
the ground can be cultivated. The
tool we have found most effective at
this stage is the duck-foot cultivator,
which cuts the weeds off below the
surface and loosens the soil. This
should be followed by the Acme har-
row or pulverizer. We find that we
can handle this weed on summer-fal-
low much more effectively with these
tools than with the disk. In our ex-
perience summer-fallowing two years
in succession materially reduced the
number of weeds, yet in the following
grain crop the weeds were altogether
too numerous to pull or hoe out, thus
again thoroughly seeding the field.
Use of Spring-Seeded Grain Crops
Because the fan weed lives through
the winter and will grow in the spring
at lower temperature than will win
ter wheat, the weed will frequently
choke out the wheat. In some sea-
sons we have saved this crop by now
ing the field before the wheat started
to shoot up. This checks the fan
weed and permits the wheat to get
ahead of it. It is very important to
do this moving before the wheat
starts to shoot up it's stalks as other
wise the yield will be much reduced.
While it may save the crop, this me-
thod is rather expensive and wet wea-
ther may delay the moving until too
late to prevent injury to the crop.
In view of these facts many farmers
are turning to spring crops, even on
summer -fallowed land.
The fan weed should be allowed to
get start in the spring and then the
ground thoroughly cleaned of weeds
before seeding. BY this method we
have found it possible to keep the
oro;n ahead If the fan weed and so

SECRETARY OF STATE, HEBERT,
IN HOT WATER.


We briefly adverted in our last issue to
the charge made by Governor Hall against
Secretary of State, Hebert. In return for
services rendered, Mr.. Hebert was to cast
his vote for Mr.. Stewart as a member of the
Board of Appraisers which assesses the cor
porations of this state.
The evidence shows: Mr.. Hebert prom
Used to vote for Mr.. Sinai. He thereafter
promised to vote for his opponent. 1t would
seem he was about to return to Sinai when
kilograms from Mayor Behrman and Mr..
of the States, caused him to go to
New Osleans, where after comforting with
these gentlemen, he concluded to vote with
the organization" that is to say, for Mr..
Wren, the candidote of Messrs. Behrman
and Ewing.
Here we have a Reformer focking with
the bosses. This is hari kari sure enough.
The bosses will use him as long as they can
and thereafter. tie to- someone upon
whom they can depend. The Reformers
will not have him at any time. From all of
it would seem Mr.. Hebert will never
himself as Secretary of State.

lady is a stepping stone to a profession or
m%atrimony. Hundreds of city girls ostra-
else themselves for nine months a year for
the purpose of accommodating sufficient funds
to purchase a trousseau.
But still have we ever given the thought
as to whether or not teachers do not
remain in the same place more
than one year, because of the i'll treatment
on the part of the patrons of the school. Is
it not a fact that when a teacher goes into a
strange community that she is the most
talked of person; that she is readily CRITICS
ed on all parts, sometimes rudely treated.
When one takes this into consideration he
will come to the conclusion that a great per-
centage of teachers wonder about from year
to year in an endeavor to land in a hospitable
place.

INEVITABLE.

At last our section of the state 10 about
to have its dreams Of many years realized,
for drainage now seems inevitable. It may
not come to pass that St. Landry will be
thoroughly drained for the next four or five
wears, but the time is so rapidly approach
ing that we cannot refrain from looking at
the future with considerable optimism.
The fact that st. Landry is about to pur-
chase a dredge boat for drainage purposes
in this parish has aroused interest in the
minds Of the progressive jurors of our sis
ter parish, Acadia. 1t is now apparent
Acadia feels disposed to purchasing a boat
for usage in the various drainage districts
in that parish.
If Acadia buys a dredge boat and st.
Landry has one also it is easily seen how
the two parishes, which are de-
pendent one on the other for drainage, will
be the best drained section of the state
within the space of four or five years, with
an outlay Of a very small amount of money.
The Clarion is forced to believe that if
Acadia and st. L~andryswould each W and
operate dredge boats the matter of dredg-
ing out Bayou Plaquemine Brulee would be
practically solved, both as to time and f.
nance. Let one boat start at the mouth and
the other at the head Of this stream and
both parishes will save plenty Of money and
valuable time, farmers will readily de-
rive benefits from drainage and the matter
Of voting a tax will be one of secondary con-
sideration.
We believe thot both parishes have use
for dredge boats for several years to come
and if the police jurors of Acadia and st.
Landry would see fit to follow our advice
will endear themselves to their con-
stituents, who will point to this as one of
greatest deeds of modern times.

NANKEEN COTTON.

We wonder how many there are in Opel
ousas, nay in st. Landry parish, who are
aware of the fact that there is such a thing
as Nankeen Cotton raised in this section of
the state. We did not know it, for one.
Nevertheless there are some old time farm
ers in St. Landry and Evangeline who raise
this yellow cotton, for the purpose of knit
ing socks and blankets, as was done way be-
fore the war.
The Clarion has had some inquiries as
to this cotton and the editor was asked to
lend a hand in the searching party in an en-
.deavor to find this cotton. One of our sub
scribers suggests the following:
i believe there might be some practi-
cal use made of this yellow cotton. Itmight
De worth some fellows effort to see what he
could do in the way of making some of these
old blankets to sell to those who have a
taste for things unique and the money to
pay for them. As an editor, you are, or
ought to be interested in the education of
your readers on matters Of this kind. Per-
haps you might be instrumental in someone
building a new industry in your town for
the manufacture and sale of old products
made in a new or in the old way. The roy
c~rafters Of East Aurora, New York, are a
colony built entirely on the revival of old
arts in the way of bookbinding, printing
and furniture making"
The editor Of the Clarion would be
curious to see some native grown Nankeen
cotton and would pay a fancy price for any
seed which can be secured in this section of
the state. {

Thank You Mr.. Healey, Thank

Forty years g G. C. Duson, then
sheriff of this parish, for having been elect
ed five consecutive times to the office, con-
ceived the idea he would b~eautify the court
house square, then in a deplorable condition.
AS a condition precedent to the work, he
removed the old china trees and chains at
tached thereto, which served as hitching
posts for the horses upon which rode the
witnesses. This done, he planted the oaks
which now ornament the square and furnish
es its chief beauty.
In the front he placed four elms. This
was done at the instance of Judge Bailey,
whereby to remind him of those to be found
at Yale College.
