This survey was made for the pur.
pose Of finding ways of improving anc

The fact that farmers are crying for
relief from the weed pest and that the
government is trying to aid them, Is
one Of the encouraging signs of the
day.
To rid the country of noxious weeds
would put agriculture forward most in
calculably.
An enormous amount of labor is in
volved every year in the extermina-
ton Of weeds. Not only are these
weeds troublesome to cultivated agri-
cultural crops, but they are trouble
some in meadows and pastures. The
cornfields and cultivated crops gener-
ally, must be kept clean II a crop Is
to be produced. or course, the farmer
would want to till his soil whether
weeds occurred or not. A soil that is
not cultivated would not produce re-
munerative crop. But the weeds have
come to stay, and the farmer must till
the soil to keep the weeds in subjec-
ton.
1t is, therefore, important that every
farmer should know something Of the
best methods of DISCRIMINATING these
weeds, and thus make it possible TO
produce better crops.
The most common weed Is the
pigeon grass, or the various types of
foxtail grasses. The common door
yard plantain, ragweed, and other
seeds, are found in considerable guam

KEEP FARMS CLEAN
OF N0XIOUS PLANTS
Farmers Should Band Together
and Make Weed Eradic cation
a Common Object.
(By L. NJ. BENNINGTON)

The farmers Of every neighborhood
should band together and make weed
eradication a common object. Individ-
ual work alone may keep q 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 to try to clean
our farms from noxious weeds IL we
allow ANNALS 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 1t 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 noxious
weeds.
Crop rotations and grass growing
provide constant disturbance to nox-
ious weeds, and when REINFORCED by
a 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
variety of crops and follow a 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 a farm to
a condition so that it's owner may d.
rect more attention to certain por-
tons 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
cultivation constantly disturb them
and hold them in check.

GROWERS URGED TO
IMPROVE PACKAGE
Attractive and Carefully Graded
Fruit viii Always Command
Highest Prices.
Ry L. M. BENNINGTON.l

That all fruit ought to be carefully
graded and psaaed 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 half the price Of consignment
which is dispatched tastefully and
consistently.
An attractive and well-packed con-
signment of fruit will often bring
twice the price OF one slovenly and
indifferently packed.
Not taking into account the choicest
fruit, which may be decorated wiz
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 a 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 10 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 1t is
most acceptable and profitable.
In one great market there may be
a superhuity and in another an insult
ficient supply of certain kinds of fruit.
1t is the growers business to find
out these diversities and to market
his wares accordingly. and he can do
this by the aid of the telegraph and
the telephone.
A grower should from time to time
attend the different markets, not only
to learn the condition in which his
own fruit arrives, but to obtain infor-
nation and hints for his future guild
ance and benefit

ing Good, but Rowing Fever
Got the Best of Him.

On May 4th, 1915, the st. Paul Farm
ers Dispatch contained a very inter.
esting account Of the experiences of .
man from Staples, MINI. Realizing
that he was not making much head
way, he decided to look up q home
stead In Canada. With $3.50 he and
his wife took up a 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, q complete set of
farm machinery including two wagons
and Swell top buggy and eleven
head Of cattle. He continues, How
ever, was not satisfied. had been

that were to be had in Montana.

that homesteading as q moneymaking

that much money, however. so came
down until finally sold for $1,400.
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 nipple
ments sold for hardly one-third of
what they had cost. The cattle
brought a good price.
Must Make Another start.
We now have a homestead In Mon.
tana, but we find that after moving
here and getting settled what money
we had did not 90 far. We have three
horses, about all the implements we
need, and 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 a 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 1t.
In summarizing it all up see where
| made my mistake. 1t will take fully
five years to get into as good circum.
stances as We were before we made
the change. 1t is five years lost
My advice to anyone contemplate
ing a change Of location is to think
twice before you act, and II your pres
ent circumstances are not too bad
