 All these things which are impress cd upon the observant farmer by what he sees of the invasiOns and re- treats of different weed or insect en- emies lead me. for one to wonder l whether the same rule will hold good with other similar adversaries.

 The trouble with these weed and irserr invasions is that we don't know their times and their seasons.

As theas and other comoarativeIy new weeds have come in, of late. so other weeds which used to he great luisances have fallen away. For for y years my father fought a patch of -anada missiles in a certain corner of one field. He had a special pair of pig tongs made with which he probed ieep into the soil for their tap-roots and yanked them out But the thistIes teDt right on coming. I'm lazier than ne ever was and. when it came to my urn to take charge of that thistle infested corner, I gave 'em I'D. One year l tried the old scheme of whip ping their tops off during a rain and while they were in flower As this did hem even less permanent injury than pulling them up by the roots I took off my hat to them and ba5e them sood-bye and God-speed. They flour shed finely for some years. Then hey began to peak and dwindle. all of themselves: turned yellow. with .red and wizzled: finally died out. There isn't a thistle in that corner .oday, and the old COW seems to think he grass is peculiarly sweet there.

Ffteen years ago the five acre meadow right behind a neighbor's louse was a tangle of wild 'butter Ind eggs" that weed of the snan- lragon family locally called stink weed" because of it's offensiveIy fetfd dor Nothing was ever done to fight f. The meadow has not been pIOwed n the memory of man. Yet today if as free and clear of "stinkweed' as ny other.
 Fifteen years ago there weren't hree plants of "stinkweed" on my whole farm. Now, I estimate that here are from three to thirteen mill Ions. They are coming into my pas ures and back meadows as they did nto this neighbor's meadow. As thev .esert him, they come to me. I am ;oing to treat them just as he did cave them quite alone to work their Wn ill-smelling pleasure, hoping that hey'H get disgusted over my neglect nd abandon me, as they have him.
 Same with bugs and worms, or at east with some of them For many ears cutworms have been a. serious nemy to my gardens. Last season hey cost me more in labor and loss han any other one "boche" in the 7hole bunch.
 But this year they are practically on-existent. Out of seven thousand abbage plants already set I haven't ct found four eaten off by cutworms. 'nly one pepper plant, two or three omatoes and not @ single hill of corn cucumbers have we found showing aeir work.
 Tent CaterpillaTs, too, are noticeable y reason that there aren't any to mo- leo. For many years past they have zen coming on us in annually in FeasiRg herdes, The past two sea-

The boys of the senior class of the
senior high school deem it disrespect-
full for any of the boys of the lower
classes to wear corduroy pants, or rath-
er trousers, as this distinguishing mode
of dress has been adopted as a sort of
class emblem and a means whereby
one senior may know another in the day
time as well as in the dark. Hence
the class has appointed a committee
to inform the younger generation of
school boys that they may wear any
kind of pants they prefer, just so it is
not corduroy.
