HANDLING QUACK-GRASs.
Prevent Seed From Maturing and
Starve Out Underground Parts.

The methods advocated for the con-
troll or eradication of quackgrass are
more or less similar for all sections
according to data from the various
State experiment stations and the
department.
In the eradication of any weed which
propagates by underground parts and
also by the production of seeds, the
fundamental principles to be recognized
are, first to prevent the plants from
maturing seeds, and second, to starve
out the underground parts by prevent
ing the formation of leaves.
The roots of quack-grass growing on
sod or pasture land are much nearer the
surface than where the grass is grow.
ing in a cultivated field. For this req.
son, when it is desired to clear a field
of quackgrass, it is often advisable
to first utilize tho field as pasture or
meadow, keeping he grass grazed or
cut rather close for year or so before
attempting to kill it.
The process of killing quack- grass is
not complicated nor difficult, but re-
quires thorough, conscientious work and
perseverance. The work should start in
midsummer by blowing the infested
iahd ohiy dCCp cnouSH 10 TURN over
furrow containing most of the grass
roots. On sod or pasture and, 3 to 4
inches is usually the proper depth. On
land which has not been in hay or
pasture, the blowing should usually be
slightly deeper. Ten days or two weeks
after blowing, this sod should be
thoroughly pulverized with risk har-
row, which will destroy any growth the
plants may have made. Repeat this
narrowing every 10 days or two weeks
until fall, when the grass will be COM
pletely killed out.
In case of excessive rainfall after
the land is plowed the grass may start
growing again to such an extent that
the harrow will not be effective in kill
ing it. Under such circumstances it is
advisable to pillow the second time and
break the land slightly deeper than at
the first blowing. The following
spring the land should be plowed to
good depth, in order to bury the many
dead roots on the surface. In case few
sprigs of the grass are still alive, it is
advisable to plant the fields in some
lntertilled crop, as corn or potatoes, or
to sow some smother crop, as buckwheat
or millet.
On very small areas, the grass may
be destroyed by digging out all parts of
the plant by hand or by smothering
with tar paper. This, however, is prac-
tieable only for very small areas

The people of Lewiston are going ahead
and building the roads, they are not
asking the appropriation of the federal
government or the state of idaho. They
have got to point where they see that
the good roads help every one in the
state. Every citizen of the state is
benefited by the construction of every
good road in the state. Now we come
here with the understanding that we
were to organize for the building of
the north and south highway. / be-
lieve the reason is because this is one
which the state highway department
has approved, one on which the survey
has been made. 1t is proposed to con-
struct this road through Idaho and
make state highway of it. Now l
want to say that if this is done other
highways to all parts of the state will
be more easily secured l believe we
will have more than one outlet to the
river and that road will be construct
ed to all portions of tn state. We must
do our part or we will be left behind
in the great wave of progress which Is
now going over the country. We in
Grangeville and. in Idaho county will
promise that we will do our part to-
w
and south highway
A motion was offered by G.. G. Pen
nell of Nezperce that the chair appoint
a committee to meet and formulate some
plan If procedure. This committe to be
composed of representative from
every outside point represented and by
a representative from Lewiston.
Mr.. Brown of Grangeville offered an
amendment that the committee be
composed of five men from each
county, instead of one from every out
side point.
DR.. Perkins appointed the following
committee from Idaho county:-A. F..
Parker, F. E. Quist, N. B. Pettibone,
w. w. Brown, j. A. Bushue.
Among the delegates from Idaho
county were the following:
Cottonwood-P. A. Gaul, Frank 4.

JOIN IN MOVE FOR NORTH AND
SOUTH HIGHWAY.
Continued from page y

| CONTINUED from page
that the entire plan mapped out should
be a harmonious one and that the entire
northern part of Idaho should cooperate
in bringing the proper legislation about
to secure the construction of north
and south Idaho state highway He
felt that now was the opportune time to
accomplish this great achievement and
said he felt that he spoke for all of
Idaho county when he stated that they
were ready and eager to support any
movement made at this time to con-
struct the north and south highway.
Mr.. Parker states that the reason that
southern Idaho was building splendid
highways and three million dollar
capitol buildings was because they were
organized and brought the proper force
to bear in the Legislature to get what
they went after.
Others addressed the meeting and
among those who represented Idaho
county the following was reported in
the Lewiston Tribune:
w. b. Hussman, of Cottonwood,
stated he came as booster for good
roads and believed we should concen-
trate our efforts to the north and south
Idaho highway.
w. w. Brown, of Grangeville, stated
he felt that the north and south high
way being an inter county proposition
was the proper object of cooperation
here. He said that local roads in diff
ferent counties really had no part or
place in this organization, that the local
affairs should be taken care of at home,
but that the north and south highway
is what we are here for and it is pro-
position which we can afford to organ
ize and cooperate for. We all known
that that is state project and is of
vast interest to all. Most of the state
has a lively interest in this north and
south road and if we are properly or
ganized there will be no question in
regard to securing appropriations for it.
He stated that the citizens of Idaho
county had held a mass meeting at Cot
tonwood week ago and that the plan
adopted at that time was to raise $780,
900 for the north and south road and
in that manner interest other sections
of the county, and an additional $780,
600 for other roads in the county
j. b. Leeper, of Sites, stated that
in regard to the call of this meeting
he felt there was no question and that
as resident of Sites he would like to
have a word. He stated that Sites
would be ready and willing to support |
any movement this meeting mi ght take |
for the construction of a highway to |
serve the best interests of northern |
Idaho, and that Sites was looking for
ward to the time when local highw Tvs |
IN their district would unite them with
The other rich districts of this state.

Measures of Reform introduced.

The introduction of any measure so
nearly allied to the people and whose
growth has been so surprisingly rapid
must naturally be attended with more or
less imperfeetion, which only practical
inquiry into operation could fully dis
close, If this practical inquiry care
fully made, developed Irregularities
which needed correction and the appli-
cation of the just and equitable rules
of proper administration, temporarily
inconvenience some and perhaps gave
rise to criticism in others, it was but
an incident to all reformatory pro
eesses and could be expected to disap
pear when the wider benefits sought
and the greater advantages to be OBJ
tanned made the object and the purpose
clear and justified the wisdom of the
action taken. For instance, if, by the
change of conveyance and the rear
rangement of routes, more and better
service could be given, should it not
be done9 Whenever and wherever such
changes have been made it has been
found possible to extend service to ad-
ditional patrons heretofore denied this
eommodation-from 500 to 1000 in
number. Surely the slight delay it
might occasion to one or several pa
irons should meet with little or no OBJ
lection when it was shown that this
had been the means of obliging many
others with at least a single delivery
who previously had none whatever.
In the nature of things, the great de-
sire of the people to obtain benefit
which its Government could provide
and the willingness of the Government
to give it and give it rapidly, condi-
tions would develop which demanded
both attention and consideration. IF,
therefore, it became evident in opera
ton that by careful inquiry more could
be accomplished than was being rem
dered, it was clearly the duty of those
in control to investigate conditions
with view to possible betterment.
"The greatest good to the greatest
M st ever be the motto of |
wise and successful administration, and |
can only hope to win public

POTENTIAL RUSSIA BY Richard wsshburn
CALc. +. 7. Dutton Go.
The great Russian retreat Of the
summer and autumn of last year, with
its ruthless destruction of everything
that could be Of use and service to the
advancing Germans, forms perhaps the
most tragic chapter Of this war of end
less tragedies. IL was not the enemy,
but Russian military policy, which
turned Polish and Russian farms, ham,
lets, villages, towns into smoking ruins,
which laid waste fertile fields and
green forests, which killed cattle and
draught animals that could not be re-
moved. and which drove before it mill
ions of old men, women and children
without food or shelter on the way,
without destination or succor at the
end of their headlong, frantic flight.
How many of these victims OF their
country's traditional military policy
there were at the beginning Of their
flight. how many fell by the wayside,
none will ever know. The figures, mere
guesses, vary from 100000 TO r.
0OO,OOO-more than the population of
all Canada. The Russian journalist
Doroschevtch has described the hor-
rors Of this exodus in THE Way of the
Cross" published some time ago by the
Messrs. Putnam. He has laid the re-
sponsibility for the sufferngs, the trag
edies, the deaths of the feeble, the old
and the immature upon the shoulders
of a muddling bureaucracy, which
neither foresaw the possibility Of a re-
treat nor made provision for its conse-
quences when il came. What aid and
comfort the fugitives had they gave "a
each othc' with a humanity so fine and
unselfish that the horror of il all wears
an aureole of impressive beauty.
Miss Thurstan's book is chiefly con
cerned with an account of what has
already been done and continues to be
done for the survivors. She describes

Anything can happen in a Central
American republic, and the things that
do happen in Caracuna in this story
are far from improbable. We Ameri-
cans are apt TO look upon such hap
penings in a musical comedy spirit,
and not without reason. but in the
present case there are below the
humors of Caracunan conditions Of life
and methods of government some
grisly facts. That is why the un-
speakable Perk is there. His secret is
the authors until he sees fit to reveal
it at the proper time in the story. But
there is Miss Polly Brewster, and there
are her father and his yacht-and his
concessions-and there is the attache

at all friendly to US, and there is an

the biggest boy in Dame Columbia's
school, is the chief actor IN the para
bic, just because he refuses TO take
part in the new fight across the sea
Sam, indeed, has always been an un-
willing, laggard scholar in a school
which, frankly speaking, is inferior n
equipment TO that Of Dame Europa. ne
has laughed at Miss Experience, the
wisest of all teachers, and refused 70
listen to Professor Efficiency ana
Doctor Thoroughness. They have asked
too much application of him-he has
disliked their discipline. And so ne
has played hockey and put his faith
in that false teacher Of economies
Brightness, who has given him an un-
abridged dictionary full of beautiful
sounding words. Though the Dig
gest boy in the school, he cannot even
keep Pedro, his next door nelghoor, IN
order, and from across the water
Junker Hans throws pebbles in his
face.
So Sam opens his unabridged die
tionary and begins TO use long, sonor-
Gus words. "Watchful waiting he
says 10 Pedro, who grins and throws
another stone. And "too proud TO
fight ne says 10 JunkeT mans VIM
ties another frecracker to the tail Of
his coat. Does Sam begin to prepare
for a fight himself? Not bit Of 1t!
He sells his catapults and slingshots
and clubs as fast as he can make them,
and takes a new word out Of that
beautiful unabridged dictionary-"Pac-
ihsm."
All the boys in Dame Europa's school
dislike him almost as mucn as they
hate each other-and they have dis
covered that he is not big and strong,
but big and the weakest of them all.
And in Dame Asia's school there IS
an amazingly apt pupil, called Fugi
Yama. So Sam has recourse once more
to his unabridged dictionary, and pro
duces the phrase "waitful watching"
and uneasy waiting and watching for
the future it Is.
Il is all here-the whole interna-
tional situation Of to-day and to-mor-
row in a nutshell. If Mr.. Ford does
not spare that bad, conceited, ignorant
scholar Sam, he is equally frank about
the shortcomings of Sans cousin John
over there in Dame Europa's school.
But at least John has protited by eX-
perience and is doing his best. A
clever, amusing little book. with q
serious message and warning.
