their way into China, but are being
sought by the Orientals.
"The tremendous disturbances in
Europe have not failed to leave traces
In China" he said. 'In this the high
freight rates have played no small
part. China wonders why so large Il

error to think that the Chinese are

are Europeans has probably doubled

REMOVE WEEDS FROM GARDEN
Plants Rob Crops Of Food and Moisture
-Harbor Injurious Insects and
Encourage Disease.
BY ]. s. GARDNER, Missouri Agricul-
tural Experiment StatiOn)

BY J. s. GARDNER, Missouri ;Agricul-
tural Experiment Station)
If the weeds have flourished in your
garden, or in parts Of it, NOW them
down, now. If they have not gone to
seed, they can be plowed under later
to help out the stable manure you ap-
ply, but if they have, they should be
removed from the garden and thrown
on the compost heap; composing kills
weed seed.
Weeds are expensive things to have
in gardens or anywhere else; they rob
garden crops of food and moisture,
many Of them are natural food for all
kinds Of insects, which, when they
have devoured the choice parts Of
weeds, attack adjacent garden crops.
Weeds may also support plant dis
they induce mildews and rusts by re-
ducing air and sunlight around the
garden plants. These weeds are now
going to seed, and winter winds will
jar that seed out, and the chances for
heavy stand Of weeds next spring
will be quite good.
Other good things to remove now,
and as the later crops mature, are
the crop remnants, especially if there
has been disease or insect Infection.
Dead stalks are wintering-Over places
for diseases and insects.
Stalks removed had best be burned.
though if a compost pile is made, the
1nsect-infested stalks may be burned
on it. Disease spores survive the COM
posting temperature; burning is safest,

WEEDS TAKE MUCH MOISTURE
Many Plants Particularly Liberal IN
Use Of Water Intended for the
Growing Crop.

The sunaower, Russian thistle, smart
weed and many other weeds are par
ticularly liberal in using the water
supply intended for the growing crop.
1t is not only because of the water
used that weeds injure crops, but also
because they use plant food which has
been dissolved in the soil and Whlcn
should be used by the useful plants.
The shading effect Of rapidly growing
weeds likewise Injuries the young corn.

Col. E. M. House said at a dinner
in Washington:

would be more successful if it were

some diplomats treat one another, they
don't get any nearer to real, helpful
intercourse than the two celebrities
did.
"Two celebrities, one sufferer and
the other deaf, were introduced at

one had got on.
"'Oh, we got on fine,' he answered.
