Agricultural Clubs

The principal objects to be attained
through the promotion OF boys asrl-
cultural clubs, as defined by those IN
charge of this work. are:
/, To encourage and train boys
along the lines Of the activities OF
country life.
2. To put into practice the facts OF
scientific agriculture obtained from
books, bulletins, etc.
8. To bring the school lie OF tho
bow into closer relationship to his
home life.
4. To assist in the development OF
the spirit of cooperation in the fam
lily and in the community.
8. To dignity and magnify the vo-
cation Of the farmer by demonstrating
the returns which may be secured
from farming when it is properly con-
Quoted
6. To enlarge the vision Of the boy
and to give him definite purposes at
an important period in his life.
7. To furnish to the aggressive.
progressive rural school-teacher an
opportunity to vitalize the work of the
school by correlating the teaching OF
agriculture with actual practice:
The aim of the boys club work Is
the same as that among men-viz.. to
secure the adoption of better methods
of farming and greater yields at less
cost. Many of the boys in the clubs
who begin to study agriculture in this
way will continue the study in the ag-
ricultural colleges; others will con-
tinue such efforts on their farms, and
all of them will make more useful and
more efficient citizens. From the
pleasant and profitable experience OF
owning and managing their small
plats, they will develop into 'independ-
ent, intelligent farmers.

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
almost intellectually.
An enormous amount Of labor Is in
volved every year in the determination
of weeds. Not only are these weeds
troublesome to cultivated agricultural
crops, but they are troublesome in
meadows and pastures. The corn
fields and cultivated crops gener-
ally must be kept clean if a crop Is
to be produced. OF 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, ana 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 exterminating
these weeds and thus make it possible
to produce larger and better crops !
Successful measures in destroying
weeds are founded upon a knowledge
of the life Of the weed and the man
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1916-08-01
quickly.

Persis tence by simple methods will
be more effective than spasmodic eff
forts and oftentimes more expensive
processes. While these direct meth
DDS may often be effective, the most
successful will be those having to do
with the conditions of agriculture and
the methods of tilage and increase the
produttiveness of the soil.
Weeds grow where they can find
room to grow. Some crops then per-
NIT certain weeds to grow with them,
while another weed may find congen-
ial conditions with another crop. Thus
cookie and cheat have grown with
wheat perhaps as long as wheat has
been cultivated.
Purslane and pigweeds are always
found In gardens, Whistles and mulleins
In pastures, white-top in meadows.

THIS COUNTRY NEEDS AN INCREASE in ITS BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY

Beet sugar Is a comparatively recent
product Of this country, and can
scarcely be said to have existed 20
years ago. The production during the
twelfth census year IS99) amounted
to S1,729 short tons, while the 1912
product aggregated 100000 short tons.
valued at s73,0O0,0O0. The growth Of
this industry and the plans for its in
crease indicate that beet raising for
sugar purposes is much desired by
farmers for profit and cultural benefit
to the land.
There are now in operation Sc fac
tories in II States, which used during
the past season 5,062,333 tons of beets
produced on 473.S77 acres, and the in
dustry has become one of the main
stays and chief supports of agricul-
ture under irrigation In the semi-arid
States, Yet this industry produces
practically only one-eighth of the
home consumption. The importation
from entirely foreign territory now
approximates 100000 short tons an
nually. A home beet sugar produce
ton sufficient to cut off this produc-
ton would not affect the home cane
sugar industry adversely, because that
has SO nearly reached its limit that
any possible growth it may have from
now on will not equal the annual in
crease in the countrys' consumption,
which has consderab bly, more than
doubled in the past % years, and now
is greater per capita than any other
country except England.
With our present low average Of
IN short tons of beet sugar per acre,
1t would require 100000 acres to
produce the 100000 short tons now
imported: or, according to the acre
age harvested the last year, it would
need the production of 100000 acres
under beets to equal the entire home
demand a condition to- which for
m ore than 80 years economists have
, looked forward.

Wild garlic escaped from the gardens
of the early Germantown settlers,
where 1t was used for flavoring.
Purslane was cultivated for green's
in Massachusetts and later taken to
Michigan, where 1t was grown for the
same purpose. Wild carrot, morning
glory, poppy and others have escaped
from the old vegeta BILE and flower gar
dens and in many cases have become
serious pests.
Black mustard is tall, coarse,
much branched annual, two to five
feet high; leaves variously divided. or
only deeply cut, the terminal lobe the
largest, sharply toothed. The upper
leaves small, simple, as rule linear.
Leaves generally not smooth. but
somewhat bristly, at least on the
veins Flowers yellow, smaller than
in charlock. Pods smooth, about one
half inch long, four-cornered, tipped
with slender beak. Seeds black or
reddish brown, smaller than charlock.
