these small ones are mere travelling
shows with an occasional lecturer of

securing guarantees they are certain

Silo Got Booty and Burned

Robert Carmichael, Dakota county
farmer, and member of the Legisla-
ture, had serious experience with
his silo.
1t was wooden silo and contained
over 200 tons of 1914 ensilage. July
Bird he discovered fire ensuing from
the top, and upon investigation found
fire all through the center from top
to bottom. Sixty neighbors, working
for "a hours, hepled him extinguish
the blaze, and it was only by wetting
down and throwing out the contents
that the fire was controlled.
''It was the most stubborn blaze
l ever saw" said Mr.. Carmichael.
IA man couldn't work in it but a
few minutes before being overcome
with fumes and reel about as though
drunk. In fact, it was really burn
ing aclohol. Advise farmers not to
keep ensilage too long, nor put wet or
green hay in a barn. Spontaneous
combustion is no myth"

Big Dose for Bugs

An army of several million potato
bugs which began another attack this
week on the fifty-acre field belonging
to N. Eckes near Morris will have a
happy time today. The second course
of an eighty-pound paris green dinner
will be served by Mr.. Eckes although
the price of paris green has mounted
to new high attitudes because CT the
war. Mr.. Eckes has a peculiar kindly
regard for his potato bugs and intends
to see to it that none of them needs
feed on potato vines alone. Paris
green imported from England and the
Scandinavian countries will be the
chief peice de resistance at the ban
quet toady.
According to reports from potato
raisers in various parts of the county,
bugs are more numerous and vora-
cious just now than they have been at
any other time for several years. The
new potato crop is coming on nicely
despite the bugs, rains and early con-
tinued cold weather. "My fields are

Pinkert's Hen Goes Limit

Ortonville Journal: When it comes
to getting fresh eggs to market, Paul
Pinkert has all the rest of the farmers
backed clear off tn map. Last Thurs
day when he came to town he
brought his champion "biddy" along
with him in the back end of the of
the buggy. He hitched his team
and proceeded with his trading at the
store and in a short time "biddy"
fluttered out and perched upon the
back part of the buggy and called out
to him that the egg was ready, and
proceeded to advertise fresh eggs to
all along the street. When it comes
to real service we believe this is 60
ing the limit.

HAS EASY WAY TO
KILL QUACK GRASS
Work Should Begin in Summer
with Flowing at Intervals till
Late in Fall

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 de-
partment.
In the eradication of any weed
which propagates by underground parts
and also by the production of seeds,
the fundamental principles to be re-
cognized are, first, to prevent the
plants from maturing seeds, and Sc
cond, to starve out the underground
parts by preventing the formation of
leaves.
The roots of quack grass growing
on sod or pasture land are much near
er the surface than where the grass
is growing in a cultivated field. For
this reason, when it is desired to clear
a field of quack grass, it is often ad-
visable to first utilize the field as a
pasture or meadow, keeping the grass
prazod or cut rather close for a year
or so before attempting TO XIII It,
The process of killing quack-grass
is not complicated nor difficult, but
REQUIRES thorough conscientious work
and perseverance. The work should
start in midsummer by blowing the
infested land only deep enough to
turn furrow containing most of the
grass roots. On sod or pasture and,
3 or 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
a disk harrow, 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 completely killed out.
In case of excessive rain fall af-
ter the land is plowed the grass
NAV start growing again to such an
extent that the harrow will n2t be
effective in killing it. Under such
circumstances..it is advisable to pillow
the second time and break the land
slight deeper than at the first plow-
ing. The following spring the land
should be plowed to a good depth, in
ordor to bury the many dead roots on
the surface. In case few sprigs of
the grass are still alive, it is adVis-
able to plant the fields in some inter-
titled 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
practicable only for very small areas
