grass from developing seeds to the
point where they will terminate,
crops in which it is growing should
be cut not later than the last week in
June.
Young Quack grass plants, attack
ed before they have formed under
ground stems. are as easily killed as
plants Of wheat or other grains of
the same age.
Manure containing Quack grass seed
may be applied on plowed ground be-
fore preparing the soil for cultivat-
ed crop. The seed will grow the
same season, and the young plants
will be killed in the preparation Of
the seed bed and the cultivation of
the crop.
Digging by hand and removing from
the field all portions of the plant.
smothering with tar paper and spray
ing with a solution of sodium arse
mite are best for the complete eradi-
cation of quack grass on small spots.
All methods Of eradication on large
fields are based on thorough tillage.
The implements found on any well
equipped farm are all that are needed
to eradicate quack grass.
The most effective bare fallow meth
Cd Of eradication was blowing in July
three or four inches deep, repowing
not later than Aug. Is five or six inches
deep and again in November six or
seven inches deep. The disk was used
as needed between plowings to keep
the quack grass from showing green
above ground. The cost of the add1-
tional labor necessary for complete
eradication under this system was
$500 per acre. No crop was secured
from the land that season.
Complete eradication Of quack grass
while following a system Of crop rota-
ton was found practical when more
than the ordinary amount Of tillage
was given.
Tillage given now and then when
nothing else needs immediate attention
Is largely lost effort in the eradication
Of quack grass. TO be effective there
must be a we'll planned and carefully
carried out campaign with which other
work is not allowed to interfere. TILL
age operations should injure the quack
grass as much as possible and should
be repeated often enough to make ef-
fective the work that has preceded.
Eradication Of quack grass on land
that has been plowed each year Is more
difficult than on land that has been
undisturbed for number of years.
In carrying out the different rotations
a regular plan of cleanup" to eradi-
cate the quack grass was followed on
each field with uniformly successful
results. The plan was varied on three
Of the fields to secure additional data.
A four year rotation on four fields
each one in turn having in successive
years grain, hay, corn, and corn, gives
exceptional opportunity for the eradl'
cation of quack grass. This rotation
can be followed to advantage, especial
" on fields where quack grass Is very
vigorous or when weather conditions
make the eradication unusually dim
cult. p.

NAVAL BATTLE GREATEST
IN WORLDS HISTORY.

The world s greatest sea battle
occurred last Wednesday when
the British and German high sea
fleets met off the coast OF Jut-
land, ii the North Sea, and en-
gagged IN a battle which cOntinu-
ed throughout the afternoon
and into the might. When the
battle ended, thousands Of men
and many ships the pride Of the
two great nayics -- had gone
down.
II revised British reports are
accepted, their losses in ships are,
rs follows:
British Three battle cruisers f..
Queen Mary, lndefatigabIe, In
ymclble Three armored cruis-
crs Defcnsr, Black Prince. War.
Nor About a dozen destroyels
and one submarine.
German: Two battleships:
Westialen and Pommern. Two
battle cruisers lunmmcd.) -Four
hight cruisers, including WIesba-
den, Eibing, Fraueniob Six de
,tlOyers and submarines.
The British Admiralty IN add
ton has admitted that the battle
ship marlborough was struck by
torpedo, but declares she was
tuwed safely 10 port.
Il denies the German claim
that the drcaduaught Wasprite
was sunk, although conoedlng She
WAS damaged by gun fire.
II is plain By the comparison
.oi the losses oi the two fleet,
that Germany won a decided we
.to.! over the prw,rll armada
of the Mistress OF the Seas. This
WIS the first time thu German and.
British naval forces had really
matched strength and strategy
IN tine present war and was un
douhtedly the greatest naval BAT
lie IN an history. That the Brit
Sh ilcct, regarded by all the
world AS practically inyirible,
the British fleet which has kept
the German fleets blockaded III
their ports for over two yearN,
should have come ont Of the en-
counter beaten IS no doubt a sur-
prise 20 the entire world, Ger
many included. As 10 England,
u must have created a veritable
panic there English sea power
IS the pride and boast Of every
EngIiShnan, it Is the staff he
leans upon and the giyer Of his
reStfm dreams. On her fleet
Englnd has s,aked her chief de-
pendence in the present war, and
there is no telling what far
reaching effect on British morale
the loss of this North Set battle
may be.
