'I'like. your hust!ing spirit and con-
slant pulling for what you want. said
Gov. Hammond in Minot. When
handed a copy Of the paper contain
ing the notice of his coming to the
city, he inquired: as your city as
much metropolitan as your paper"
He was told that it was, and in re-
ply he said, If like to think Of this
state as my neighbor and always have
a good word for it whenever | ear
say it. Your city is certainly a live
one and | an told is making a strong
fight to become the second largest in
the state. You certainly deserve il,
for there is not a more enterprising
town through which | have passed on
this trip, and that is saying a good
deal, for some of them are about
the best in the entire country"
Claiming that he has discovered a
sure way to eradicate the annoying
quack grass that infests many fields
in the Northwest, p. Scully has given
his method to the public.
Late in the fall he spreads straw
10 the depth Of a foot or over
the spots on which quack grass has
obtained a foothold. He then packs
the straw down, burns it and plows
the land just about two inches deep
with a very sharp pillow which cuts
off the roots clean. AS this is done
just before cold weather, the roots
are frozen during the winter. The
next year the land is cropped in the
usual n and in the fall the plan
is repeated. Within three years he as
serts he can destroy the worst in
stances of qr,ack grass. AS this pest
infests fields all I'VE the entire north
western states, Mr.. Scully's method
may prove a great benefit to the farm
as.
