Fortunately, no one was hurt, but all were more or less shaken up. The car had been standing in front of the Rockville house on Park street, wait ing for power. The air tank became exhausted. so that the air brake ceased to hold. and the car, starting on a down grade into Market street. gained great momentum.

KEEP SEEDS FROM RIPENING
Avoid All Sources Of Weed introduce
tlon, Such az weedy Barnyards,
Roadsides and Waste Places.

In fighting weeds II is not only i'm
portant to avoid introducing their
seeds into the fields with seed grain,
but II is important as well to avoid
other sources OF weed introduction
such as weedy barnyards. fence rows,
roads les. bitches and waste places In
general. The weeds should be kept
well cut throughout the season as far
as possible and thus prevented from
ripening seeds to be carried to the
fields by wind. water and animals. As
fast as possible these places should be
cleared and cleaned up and a good
clean grass sod established. Weed
seed-infested manure is another
source OF weed introduction that
should be guarded against. Such ma
nure should be well composted be-
fore being applied to the fields in or
der that the weed seeds In II may be
