or the plant will quickly send forth

Cut Before FIowering.
Another point which may mark the
difference between success and failure
in your weed campaign is to cut just
before Towering While the plant is
growing it is storing away vitality to-
ward the time when it shall need it for
fruit production. When it begins TO
produce fruit, it draws on this surplus
stock. When it has budded it has used
large part of this stored vitality and
is weaker than at any other time ex.
cept when IT is very young. New is the
time to cut. The seeds will not be
formed enough to live on to maturity,
the plant is at its weakest and is more
readily killed. II in addition. the
weather is hot and dry, it is practically
certain the root win die.

Method for Perenniafs.
To eradicate perenniaIs, the same

FIND VOLCANO IN MINDANAO
tenant DonnelIy Says of the
Discovery.

MindanaO has new volcano, accord
ing to the MindanaO Herald Lieuten-
ant Donnelly, while on hike into the
interior of Lanao province. discovered
an active volcano in the Piagayungan
range of mountains, which heretofore
was not known to exist Lieutenant
Donnelly says of his discovery in the
following report;
June 5, 1916. the undersigned, in
command of q combined detachment
of the First Cotabato company. and
the First General Service company, on
reconnaissance patrol from Kapaad
northwest through the Piagayunan
mountain range. came in sight of an
active volcano which from all indica-
tions had recently erupted a discharge
of volcanic ash and either smoke or
flame
From the fact that foliage in the
forest on the mountain sides three
miles TO the southeast had been
scorched as though by flame, hot
smoke or toxic gas, and that ground
vegetation of scrub grass and weeds
had been partially destroyed, leaving
the stalks intact and the scorched
leaves retaining their form, it was
thought that the eruption had been
recent. At all events, so recent that
the wind had not blown away nor de
stroyed the fragile remnants OF the
burned foliage"

BRINGS BOOM TO BOLIVIA
Finding of Rich Deposits Of Tungsten
Has Aroused Great Excite
ment.

Mining for tungsten or wolfram has
brought prosperity to Bolivia. Accord
ing to FL Diario of La Paz, the boom
at the mining center of Oururo can
scarcely be exaggerated.
Daily the miners and workmen
focked into the town from the outly-
ing districts, carrying the fruit of their
labors The camps were full of nerv-
GUS energy.
individuals pass through the streets
Of 0ururo with faces burned by the
wind and sun. They are the miners
who have come to offer the exporting
houses lets of wolfram, varying be-
tween 100 and 1000 pounds. The
amount of this sale, 5000 to $1,000, is
considerable in view of the modest con-
dition Of the miners, of whom the ma
1Ority are Indians. The proceeds of
the sale are deposited in the banks at
sight, and the miner, happy and con-
tented with the certificate of his CAPT
tai, returns to the Cordillera to bring
down new treasures.
In nearly all the mineral districts of
the department of Oururo there are
rich deposits of wolfram. Motor cars
have been rapidly springing into popu-
larity for use in visiting the mining re-
gions, and many cars have recently been
ordered from the United States.
Tungsten and tin ores are found at
attitudes between 1850 and 1880
feet above sea level Men, mules and
hamas can Gimp up and down, but the
slopes are too steep for working and
handling of ore. Aerial ropeways are

Impure seed does not necessarily
mean seed which has been willfully
adulterated. Don't think just because
you grew the seed yourself and did not
put any weed seeds into it that it is
any better than that which you might
buy If you or your neighbors allow
weeds to flourish, there are chances
that your seed viii bear large pro-
portion of weed seed.
Weed Remedies.
The problem is how to get rid Of
weeds and keep them out.
First, rotate the crops; screen all
seed; cultivate frequently and thor
oughly; cut the weeds before they go
to seed, use smother crops; pasture
with sheep; and finally keep everlast-
ingly after them.
If your wheat field is weedy, seed it
TO clover and blue grass; NOW the an
nuals and biennials before they seed,
pasture with sheen or hogs to keep
down the perennials; follow by cult
waited crop to kill any lingering weeds,
and you will have disposed of most
varieties
Rotate, Pasture, Cultivate.
Avoid sowing weed seed. Fan and
grade all seed.
Prevent leaves forming. Cut just
under the crown and repeat the opera
ton as often as the leaves appear.
Plants cannot live long in the growing
season unless the leaves develop. If
no leaves are allowed to form, the
plant root will starve.
Generally in dealing with biennials,
it is necessary to cut below the crown.

CCVKTHAT Margaret sees in that girl 1
w can't understand" Mrs. Calkins
was saying, when the talk was of the
difficulty of getting suitable compan-
ions for the children. And Mrs. Cal
kins was quite right. Nobody can un-
derstand exactly. It's just as great a
mystery as the one that keeps your
friend guessing why you married your
husband, or wife, as the case may be.
Johnny and his friend were chums
for many years because they had the
same birthday; and Grace and Ger
| trude found each other through writ
ing the initial G in the same way. But
another little girl with tlaXen hair and
pale eyes selected her friend because
| the latter had such nice dark hair and
skin and eyes. You may not be so SEN
sitive to color; yet it was the wearing
of a red apron that gave Mabel Hen
dersOn a lifelong friend. Not that she
wore the red apron all her life-that
only started the friendship. The fact
is that Margaret herself could not
have told why she was 50 attached to
her friend.
1t takes only a trifle to start an as
SociatiOn-a casual meeting on the
street corner waiting for a favorable
opportunity to cross, being admitted
to school on the same day, or being
fascinated by gap in anOther's row
of teeth. But after the beginning is
made almost any two children can
learn to like each other fairly well, and
the longer they associate the better
they como to understand each other,
the more accustomed they become to
each others ways, the harder will it be
for them to give each other up. Chill
dren's friendships are not deliberate,
calculated selections they are haphaz-
ard growths They can therefore not
be reasoned about to any purpose by
the parents, and much less by the chill
dren themselves.
If they are accidental in their begin
nings and habtual in their continuance,
these childhood friendships are never
theless source of grave concern to
many parents. Margarets mother could
see in the girls friend many things
that Margaret herself could not see,
and many of them were Of a kind that
she would rather not have in her
