A CORRECTION

Owing to mistake of the makeup
man in last weeks issue of the Sheaf,
IA two line announcement of the
Dreamland theater was accident.ly
added to the notice of the Swedish
mission church. Everybody could
easily see that it was mistake, pure
al simple and wholly unintentional
e the two notices had nothing in
common. We always aim to publish
everything correct, but mistakes will
sometimes occur in the best regulated
families. A private person can make
mistakes everyday in his life. and no.
body will know it but thousands of
eyes watch the newspaper for mis-
takes. And yet when one considers
how easy it is to make a mistake in
print, the wonder is that there are
not more Of them. Every person, we
care not how perfect he is, is liable
to make mistake once in a while
and not even ministers are free from
this common failing. We have heard
ministers themselves make far more
ludicrous mistakes in announcing
their services then have ever appear
ed in print. 81 s Is. d. :5....

ERADICATION OF QUACK GRASS

Numerous inquiries received at the
Northwest Experiment Farm regard
ing quack grass indicates that it is be-
coming a serous. problem in some sec.
lions of Northwestern Minnesota.
Prof. F. L. Kennard, Station Agron-
omist, states that it can be extermin-
ated and this has been demonstrated
very frequently both by farmers and
experiment stations. He goes on to
say that the principal requisite is a
firm resolve to rid the farm of the
pest. After this is made the work
will be comparatively easy.
The weed reproduces both from
seed and underground root stalks. It
may be brought onto a farm in the
form, Of seed but the spread is usual
" brought about by scattering the
root stocks about with the harrow or
other farm implement.
Two methods of attack are recon-
nended growing cultural crop and
summer following.
Where the land is badly infested
the former will REQUIRES a great deal
Of hard labor. If the pest is to be ex-
terminated, no green portion must be
allowed to show itself and that means
eternal vigilance on the part of the
farmer. None of the grass must be
permitted to grow in the hills. Two
years Of this treatment is recommend
ed.
When land is practically occupied,
the summer fallow method is prob
ably most economical. One crop is
lost but the additional yield the sue
ceeding year will usually offset this
when we consider the low cost Of cul-
Jivating fallow land as compared with
q corn crop. The field should be
plowed in the fall and again in the
spring to depth Of or inches. A
good mulch 3 inches deep should be
prepared with disk and harrow and
this, mulch kept cultivated with suf-
Hcient frequency to prevent any
growth above the surface of the
ground This is very essential as all
plant food is elaborated thru the veg
etative portion of a plant and by pre-
venting this portion from developing
the roots are simply starved to death.
Thorough work will totally destroy
the pests in one season. It is useless
TO attempt the eradication unless the
work can be done well. Indifferent or
careless attempts will simply cult
vate and increase the pest.

A Night Of Adventure.

A Night Of Adventure.
The federal government agreed to
say nothing. to put no obstacles in the
way of the Russian agent, provided he
could abduct his trio without serious,
ly clashing with the New York police
authorities It was a recognized fact
that the local police force wanted the
newspaper glory which would attend
the crushing of the Black Hundred.
It would be an exploit. But their glory
was nil; nor did Servan take his trio
back with him to Russia.
Many strange things happened that
night, the night of the final adven,
ture.
Florence sat in her room reading.
The book was "Oliver Twist" not the
pleasantest sort Of book to read un,

where Fagin overheard Nancy's con-
fession-she fancied she heard doors
closing softly, but credited 1t to her
Imagination. Poor Nancy, who want
ed to be good but did not find time to
be! Florence possessed a habit fa-
miliar to most of us; the need of ap-
pies or candy when we are reading.
SO she rang the bell for her maid,
intending to ask her to bring up some
apples. She turned to her reading,
presently to break off and strike the
bell again Where was that maid? She
waited perhaps five minutes, then laid
down the book and began to investi-
gate.
There was not a servant to be found
In the entire house! What in the
world could that mean? Used as she
was to heartrending suspense, she was
none the less terrified. Something had
