While tillage in its relation to
weeds usually is practiced for the
benefit of the immediate crop it also
may serve the purpose of preventing
hosts of weeds from maturing Seed
opens the discussion in Farmers Bull
letin No. $50, weeds: How to Control
Them" This bulletin gives discus
sion of the weed problem on the farm,
dealing with prevention and eradica-
ton.
1t is possible for a farmer, espe-
oially if he follows a good rotation
system, to make his farm almost
weed-free by observing three main
principles of weed control: ID pre-
venting the weeds from going to seed
ON the farm; (2) preventing the intro
duction of weed seeds on the farm;
and (3) preventing perennial weeds
from making top growth. These
three principles are of far greater i'm
portance than the particular methods
used to carry them out. Often the
campaign against weeds is stopped
when success is in sight and the weeds
soon recover. Clearing the farm of
perennial weeds Is no easy task, re-
Quiring intelligence and persever-
ance.
The thorough preparation of the
seed bed for every crop is an impor-
tant part in the control of weeds.
After blowing the disk, spring-toothed
or spike-toothed harrow to reduce the
soil to good seed bed condition is
used. Each of these harrowings de-
stroys hosts of young. weed seed
lings. Thorough narrowing at this
period may be depended upon to kill
a large proportion Of the weeds that
appear at this season.
Kill the Weeds Early.
After planting the cultivated crop
the same object, that of attacking the
weeds when young, should be kept
in mind. To this end a drag harrow
or a spike-toothed harrow is frequent
y used, both before and after the
crop comes up. More weeds will be
killed by one dragging at this time
than by several civilizations when the
plants have become larger The weed
er is also a valuable implement for

SURVEY is ENCOURAGING
Ninety Townships Show Strong Indi-
cation of the Presence of
Iron Formation.

Madison.-It has been believed for
many years that much iron ore would
eventually be discovered in northern
Wisconsin. The last legislature pro-
vided funds for a survey. The state
geological survey will soon receive
from the state printer the first re-
port, covering a territory of over
100000 acres.
Many of the ninety townships sur
veyed show strong indications of the
presence of iron formation. There
will undoubtedly be a large amount
of drilling done in this area in the
near future.
Each township description is &C
companied by detailed map of that
township.

Compatriot Finishes Close at His
Heels, While Gil Anderson Comes In
Third With Earl Cooper in, Fourth
PIace-No Accidents During Contest.
THE FINISH.

Indianapolis, June 2.-Halpn LIE
Palma, driving one of the most spec
tacular races ever seen on any Amer
lean automobile track, won the fifth
annual revival of the International
Sweepstakes 500-mile race at Indian
apolis on Monday when he drove his
Mercedes to victory over the classiest
field which ever has been seen in the
race.
In winning the race, DePalma
clipped more than half an hour on
the old record, going the route in
5:33: $3.50, an average of 1884 miles
an hour. The old record was
SOB: $3.50, an average of 82.47 miles
an hour, made a year ago by Rene
Thomas in a Delage.
Close behind DePalma came Dario
Resta, winner of the Vanderbilt and
Grand Prix races this year. Less
than three laps separated these two
Italian rivals and the duel between
them had been in progress all day.
1t was DePalma's greater experience
and better racing brain that told the
story.
DePalma virtually ran Resta to
death on two occasions, once when he
was striving to regain a lost lead and
the other when Resta was trying to do
the same thing. On both occasions
DePalma jockeyed with his Anglicized
compatriot and on both occasions he
made Resta overstep the bounds of
safety for himself
America had to be content with
third and fourth places, Gil Anderson
taking third with a Stutz, while Earl
Cooper took fourth with another Stutz.
The Hoosier machines made a valiant
showing but they could not speed up
quite fast enough to catch the flying
German and French cars. The Stutz
entries set the pace for the first hun
dred miles of the classic, but then
they had shot their bolt and never
again seriously threatened to take the
lead away from DePalma and Resta.
The start was perfect, the best ever
obtained for the event. The cars went
over the wire in perfect line, for the
most part, only few inches apart.
Dario Resta took the lead at the end
of the first lap, but on the second
HOwdy Wilcox brought the intensely
partisan Indianapolis crowd to it's feet
by going by the Englishman in \
brush on the backstretch. Wilcox
lived up to the expectations of those
followers of the race by setting a
terrific pace from the start. Resta
challenged him, but DePalma lived up
to his promise by letting the Ameri-
can force the pace.
The first lap was run in 1:39, an
average better than ninety miles an
hour.
Three cars were forced out of the
race before the leaders had gone one
fifth IF the distance. The Purcell,
drive by Cox; the Mais, driven by
John Mais, and the Bugatti, driven by
George Hill.

Yesterday Afternoon.

John H. Hill, aged 81 years, whose
home is near Barbers pond in the
town OF Pownal, is in the North Ad-

in his left thigh and Deputy Sheriff
f. A. Wilson of North Pownal is

According to the meagre informa-
ton that it has been possible to OBJ
tain, Perham appeared at the Hill
farm late yesterday afternoon where
his mother has for several years
been the housekeeper, and after a
heated argument with the aged man
drew an old-fashioned powder and ball
revolver of 45 calibre and fired six
shots. Two of the bullets struck
Hill in the left thigh. After the
shooting Perham left the wounded
man alone with the housekeeper and
disappeared.
