PREVENT SPREAD OF WEEDS.
Seed Readily Carried Everywhere by
the Wind-lncrease Amazingly.

Seed Readily Carried Everywhere by
the Wind-Inerease Amazingly.
Farmers striving to keep their lands
practically clean need law compelling
each one to take care of the most trou.
blesome weeds. Legislation is espe-
cially needed to prevent the growing
and spreading of all weeds. the seed
of which is readily carried everywhere
by the wind. This applies particular
ly to wild carrot, devils paint brush.
etc. In some localities fields are prac-
tically abandoned to weeds. Pastures
often produce many noXious plants
and fence rows abound with brush and
weeds. If such weeds could be kept
in check when grown, only a moderate
damage would be done, but If they
are not destroyed or moved off the
wind often scatters their seed widely.
In recent years in many sections
weeds have increased amazingly. and
it is now impossible for any farmer
alone to maintain clean farm. Many
good farmers do not try any longer to
keep weeds in check. because others
pay no attention to the matter. \ law
exists in some states and is quite gen
orally enforced, requiring all noXious
weeds along the highway to he cut
twice annually. If such a law could
be extended to the fields it would help
matters materially, although a much
more stringent law is desired.
Such law would make it possible
for careful farmers to raise clean seed,
both for home use and for sale to other
farmers. This in grass seed alone
would soon result in great improve
ment. Less weed seed would be sown,
thereby decreasing the abundant crop.
Legislation affecting the care of a
mans farm and the crops he grows
may he difficult to enforce, but 1t Is
no more so than some of the existing
laws regarding fruit trees, etc Such
laws as can be rigidly enforced regard
ing weeds will eventually benefit al
farmers. making their land more at
tractive. more productive and decided
ly more profitable.

A Strict Dram attic Censor.

Vienna once possessed the strictest
dramatic censor ever known In the
person of Franz HOegelin. who held
that post In the Austrian capital at
the beginning of the last century.
Hoegelin published manual for the
guidance of censOrs. "A pair of lovers
should never be allowed to appear ON
the stage alone. They must always
be accompanied by Il third person of
mature years." Marriages out of ones
class were also strictly forbidden by
Hoegelin on the stage, and he quotes
an instance of a play which he re-
fused to pass because the author made
the hero, Count Valdemar, marry a
gardeners daughter. such misalli-
ances have unfortunately been known
to occur In real life, but that Is no
reason why they should be allowed ON
the stage" he said.

LIME FOR LEGUMES.
How Good Yields of Glover Have Been

when County Agent Lacy began

found the county almost destitute of
leguminous crops reads recent rec
ord in the files of the United States de-

was the only one with which the farm

so frequently in attempting TO grow it
that there was much disbursement.

with almost uniform failure. Protein
was purchased in the form of concen.

Warm and moist or rainy weather Is
especially favorable to the spread and
development of anthracnose, and for
this reason it was more prevalent than
usual last season. The losses were
particularly severe in some districts
where melons are grown on large
scale for carload shipments.
The department of agriculture has
found that the disease can be con-
trollcd by spraying with bordeaux
mixture and trials of this treatment
are recommended. The methods to be
employed are substantially those In use
for potatoes, cucumbers and other truck
crops. The following points should he
observed to insure success:
Use fresh homemade bordeaux mix
ture. In preparing it follow directions
exactly. as much depends on the way
the ingredients are combined. Use a
good spray pump, operated at pres
sure Of 100 pounds or more. Spray
thoroughly. The time of application
depends ON the weather and the de-
velOpment OF the crop. The disease
usually appears when the fruit is near
~ grown Watch carefully for the
leaf spot and spray as soon as any ap-
pears. In any case, make an applica-
ton two weeks before maturity and q
second week later.

pounds: quicklime. four pounds; water
to make fifty gallons.
Prepare the copper sulphate by sus-
pending it in gunny sack just below
the surface of several gallons of wa
ter in a clean barrel. When the sui
plate is dissolved. which requires three
or four hours. remove the sack and
stir into the barrel enough additional
water to make exactly twenty-five gal
Ions of the copper solution.
Prepare the lime by shaking 1t slowly
and thoroughly in a clean barrel, strain
and add enough additional water to
make exactly twenty-five gallons Of
lime milk. Stir thoroughly.
Pour the two ingredients together
into another barrel or, better, directly
into the spray tank, If 1t will hold If

stir the mixture very thoroughly and
to strain both ingredients before they
are combined. as otherwise clogging
of the spray noZzles might result. Use
copper or bronze wire strainer Of
eighteen meshes to the inch. Do not
put copper sulphate or bordeaux mix
ture into tin or iron vessels. Use wood
or copper containers. Mix the bor-
deaux as needed and apply at once.
