DAY OF HOPE AND PROMISE
Memorial Anniversary This Year a
Time of Special Significance for
Many Reasons.

You could not have made an English
man believe in 1916 that hatred for Ma
poleon and for France could ever die
in the heart of loyal Briton. But it
did die.
Battle smoke clouds the vision, blots
out perspective. The roar of great
guns for the moment unhinges the
mind. Seeing blood, we forget that
there has ever been aught but slaugh-
ter in the world. We do not believe
there will ever be anything but slaugh-
ter-slaughter and fierce, hot hatred.
And the fields, SCARED by trenches,
blackened by fire, with farmhouses in
ruin-will they not be forever black
and SCARED? Can the soft grass, the
billowing wheat ever grow again on
the fields sown in dragons teeth?
But there is grass on Gettysburg,
and there will be grass and trees and
grain again along the Marine.
Therefore will not we fear, though
the earth be removed, and though the
mountains be carried into the midst of
the sea.
Though the waters thereof roar and
be troubled. though the mountains
shake with the swelling thereof.
He maketh wars to cease unto the
end of the earth; he breaketh the bow,
and cutteth the spear in sunder; he
burneth the chariot in the fire"
Memorial day, 1916. A day of hope
and promise. Never was greater need
for such a day. This is its message
At the last, peace comes back to the
earth.

Reinterments at Gettysburg.

The work of reinterring the dead on
the field of Gettysburg began on the
twenty-seventh of October, 1853, and
was completed on the eighteenth of
the following March. The number re-
buried was thirty-five hundred and
seventy-hve. This does not mean that
even half the dead were found, for the
whole field was dotted with graves.
In reinterring the bodies in the GENE
terry every effort was made to discover
the identity of the men and this in
many cases was done and the relatives
of the dead soldier had his remains
taken home, the Identification being
made through articles found on his
body. An entry OF each article found
was made. These things are kept and
numbered to correspond with the num-
Der OF the gravestone Of him upon
whose body the articles were found.

record:

DRAINAGE ADDS TO PROFITS
Increase of Yield From rs to 100 Per
Cent-PhysicaI Condition of Soil
Improved.

Lands that are too wet for the most
profitable production of crops should
be drained Even uplands may often
be drained with profit, especially hill
sides subject to erosion or inclined
to be "spouty." Indeed, drainage is
profitable wherever it is necessary to
the fullest use Of the land.
1t is not uncommon for lands too
wet for cultivation to produce, when
drained, 60 or 70 bushels of corn or
oats to the acre. On much of the
drained land the increase of yield
is from 25 to 100 per cent, and by the
increased yield and the decreased cost
of cultivation the value Of the land is
often doubled
Drainage improves the physical con-
dition of the soil by making it more
porous and friable.
Health conditions are also improved
by the drainage of swamps and stand
ing water.

it unfit for farming purposes. The soil
upon which Canada thistles flourish is
apt to be of good natural fertility,
and it usually pays to reclaim thistle
infested fields.
The cause of the remarkable vital
ity of Canada thistle and the point
that distinguishes it from other prick
ly plants that are commonly mistaken
for it, is the long, cordlike, perennial
root. This root penetrates the soil
at depth of eight to fifteen inches,
or more and gives rise at frequent in
tervals to leafy shoots. Thus It will
often be found that an entire patch of
thistles is attached to one root, and
is in reality but one plant. The root
is exceedingly hardy, and can live over
winter or through prolonged drought
In a dormant condition. Pieces that
are broken off by pillow or cultiVatOr
and carried to other places will await
warm, moist period, and then begin
to send out leafy shoots, thus estab-
fishing a new patch. If the leafy
stems are cut down, others will be
sent up to take their place, and this
process may be repeated from two to
eight times before the root becomes
exhausted. In most localities the
good seeds, as the male and female
! flowers are on separate plants, and
not all of the female flowers produce
viable seeds. Nevertheless, the seeds
are frequently hidden away in straw
and hay, and are sometimes present
in grass and clover seed and in seed
oats. AS each seed is equipped with
feathery plume, a small patch of
! thistles may serve to infest a whole
neighborhood.
The point that must be kept in
mind, however, in fighting Canada
thistles is that it is the roots, rather
than the tops, that must be killed.
| Simply cutting off the tops a few
times has much the same effect as
pruning an apple tree. But if the
tops are cut off deep and frequently,
| the root must eventually suffocate
! through lack of leaves. Bearing this
in mind, any of the following meth
DDS of eradication will be found eff
| fective:
1. Summer Fallow.-Most suitable
for one-half acre or more of thorough
| ly infested land, from which little rev.
enue could be expected anyway. Pillow
deep in the fall, exposing the roots to
the frost. Harrow in the spring to
kill seedlings of annual weeds. Let
the thistle grow until the first bios
SONS appear (about June II or until
there is danger of other weeds going
to seed. Pillow shallow and from then
until frost use disk harrow often
enough to prevent thistle leaves from
making over four inches of growth.
If the thistles get over six inches high
at any time, all the previous work will
be undone. This applies to all meth
DDS. Follow during the second year
with cultivated crop, giving it a lit
tie extra cultivation and hceing out in
dividuai thistles.
2. Partial Fallow.-(D For grain
fields OF old meadows. Cut the crop
early for hay, if necessary, to prevent
thistles from seeding. Allow thistles
to grow for four to six days, then
plOw, and proceed as in for remain
| der of season.
(2) For cultivated ground-Allow
thistles to grow until first blossoms
appear. Pillow shallow. When thistles
are about three inches high disk thor

oughly and plant late smother crops.
as below.
8. Smother Characterization of
above. A good method on rich ground.
Cut grass early for hay as in 2 I'd
above. Pillow shallow four to six days
later. Leave for four to six days more
and disk thoroughly. Then SOW
smother crop of buckwheat tfour-fifthA
peck, rape broadcast six-eightns
pound), millet (three-fourths peck,
or fodder corn in check rows. After
the crop is of, keep thistles down by
disking until frost. Hemp and alfalfa
are excellent smother crops in sec
lions where they are grown. Alfalfa
may be either spring or fall sown,
according to custom, but the surface
of the ground must be clean and well
prepared before planting.
4. Cultivated Crops.-Most gener.
ally useful method. Corn in check
rows best crop. Have ground clean
before planting. Equip cultiyator with
nine-inch sweeps instead of ordinary
shoes. Keep sweeps sharp and cult
vate frequently. Hoe the corn after
laying by, and cultivate the ground
after harvest with disk harrow until
frost. Repeat second year.
S. Hoeing and Cutting-Best for
small patches. Stake out the patch
and visit regularly with sharp hoe
or scythe at least twice week.
6. Chemicals.-There is no chemical
that in reasonable quantities will kill
Canada thistles with one application,
unless applied directly to the cut root.
For spraying, use sodium arsenite Ga
violent poison), two pounds in ten gal
Ions of water; common salt, one
pound in one and a half quarts of wa
ter; or crude carbolic acid, diluted
one-half If animals are sailed on
small patch of thistles, they will final
ly disappear. Frequent spraying of
the thistle with the above chemicals
may be used instead of cutting i'll
rocky or other inconvenient places.
Z. Miscellaneous.-Sh will some
times Craze thistles to death if forced
to do so. Small patches of thistles
may be smothered by covering with
overlapping strips of tar paper or
building paper, weighing the laps
down with earth and leaving the pa
per on for eight to ten weeks during
the summer. A coating of straw or
manure one foot or more in depth will
answer the same purpose.

ada thistle is contained in Farmers

KILL OFF TH|sT[ES
Plant Abounds Throughout Gen.
trail West States.
Of Late Years Weed Has Been In
creasinsIy Troublesome in Grain
Growing Ssetions-Renders
Soil Unfit for Farming.

Qrom the United States Department of
Agriculture-)
In the states north of the Ohio
river, probably no plant bears such a
bad reputation as the so-called Canada
thistle. This marvelously prickly
plant abounds in grain fields, pastures,
and meadows throughout the central
west, and is common in the northeast
ern states. 1t is found in parts or
West Virginia, Kentucky, and Mis-
souri,, and of late years has been in
creasingly troublesome in, the grain
growing sections of the Northwest.
Canada thistle, or simply thistle, !"
has been condemned in the laws of 25
states, and at least 100 local commu-
mites. Certainly no plant is more
generally and heartily disliked, unless
it be the sand bur of the southern
coastal plain.
The unpopularity of Canada thistle
is due largely to its unsightly appear
ance and exceedingly spiny leaves, and
to it's persistent resistance to at
tempts at eradication Under ordi-
nary cropping systems and with rea-
sonable care, the thistle is at worst
a disagreeable nuisance. Generally
speaking, it does not injure the quail
ity or quantity of farm products, ex-
cepting hay, as much as do quack-
grass, wild onion, or wild mustard;
nor is it as destructive to the grass
in pastures and meadows as are a
number of almost insignificant little
weeds whose very existence is often
unsupported. When left to itself, how
ever, the thistle spreads rapidly, I'M
til in a few years it will more or less
completely occupy the land, rendering

FIELD MICE ARE INJURIOUS
Rodents Are Tenacious Of Life and
Multiply With Great Rapidly
There Are Many Species.

A circular letter from the United
States department of agriculture calls
attention to the losses to orchardists,
nurserymen and farmers from field
mice, of which there are $4,000 species
known to exist in this country, but
the farmer recognizes only two kinds,
meadow mice and pine mice. These
mice are tenacious of life, and null
tiply with great rapidity.
They cannot live without eating and
they take their choice of such food as
may be at hand. If nothing better
can be found the mice feed upon the
bark of trees or upon the roots of
grasses and shrubs, destroying grass,
cutting down grain, clover, and alfalfa,
eating the grain in shocks or grana-
ries, injuring flowers and vegetables,
and doing harm in hundreds of ways.
In one part Of Nevada the mice to-
tally ruined $4,000 acres of alfalfa.
Large blocks of nursery trees are to.
