Wiconisco, Pa, April S, 1915.
DEAR SIR:

hereby announce myself a candidate for County Com
missioner on the Republican Ticket at the primaries in
September next. 1 have been Justice of the Peace in
Wiconisco Township since May, 1899, making a continuous
term of 10 years, and was also Triennial Assessor of Wico-
nisco Township from 1905 until 1914. 1 would briefly say
to the voters of Dauphin County that 1 have been very care
full during my time as Justice of the Peace in the matter of
costs by not returning cases to court whereby the county
might be liable for costs. 1 always deem this important
upon an officer to prevent making costs if he can, as we all
know that unnecessary costs mean unnecessary taxes. 1
believe in doing the best for the tax payers interest; I be-
lieve in conducting the affairs of County in an Economic
Way; I believe in just and fair dealing with all concerned.
In conclusion I would say to you who do not know me,
that I was born and resided on a farm near Berrysburg,
Dauphin County, until I was about twenty years of age.
Since that time I have been employed at the mines at Wico-
nisco, Pa. I am now hfty-two years old.
My official conduct and character as a man is open to
your investigation. If you see fit to support me at the COM
ing election upon the aforesaid principles on which I stand,
your support will be kindly appreciated.
Yours respectfully,
CHAS, H, HARTMAN.

A WAR ON WEEDS Is NEEDED ON
FARMS

Many noxious weeds are spreading
rapidly in Minnesota, says Andrew
Boss, of the Minnesota Experiment
station. Quack grass, sow thistles, and
Canada thistles are among the worst
Of these.
Where fields are badly infested, an
attempt should be made to clear the
entire field by thorough tillage.
Investigations in weed eradication
in Minnesota and in Canada indicate
that all Of these pests will yield to
good tillage ard short-term crop rota-
lions which include clover and the
grasses.
A good start can be made in eradi-
eating any of these weeds by blowing
the fields as soon as the crops are re-
moved, and the crops should be remov-
ed, if possible, in time to prevent the
weeds from going to seed. Following
the removal Of the crop, deep blowing,
preferably in the hot weather of July
and August, followed by frequent sur
face civilizations. to keep the leaves
below the ground, gives the basis for
eradication. The replowing Of badly
infested fields in the fall is advisable.
Such treatment, followed by corn
crop the next season, which in turn is
followed by thickly sown grain crop
in which timothy and clover are sown
for hay or pasture crop, will in most
cases bring the weed pests under
control. A "stitch in time saves nine'''
in weed eradication as we'll as in other
lines of work. Any one having weed
spots should do his utmost to prevent
their spreading this year.
