Chicago is not so slow. In fact Chi
cago is so rapid that, If Mrs. Eleanor
McAdoo, wife of the Secretary of the
Treasury and daughter of the President
puts in a serious claim for honors as
the worlds fastest dresser, this city
stands ready to contest the election, and
produce champions to make Mrs. Nc
Adoo's record look like the statistics
in a molasses drawing contest.
Mrs. McAdoo announced to newspaper
reporters in Dallas, Tex. yesterday that
she had just set a worlds record by
dressing in twenty minutes.
To-day Mrs. Carter H. Harrison, Jr.
young North Side society matron, step
ped up and nonchalantly recollectine
a few statistics of her own, shattered
Mrs. McAdoo's mark beyond recognition
as follows:
"Once on a time, said Mrs. Harrison
"I bathed and dressed in thirteen min

but 1 did it once. Thirty minutes Is
a good average period for dressing In

LOW UNDER WEEDS
AND GRASS
By M. F. Miller, Missouri Agri-
cultural Experiment Sta
ton.

EA0AAa
The large amount Of rainfall
last season resulted in an ex-
cessive growth of weeds and fall
grasses in many parts OF the
country and farmers are now
confronted with the problem Of
turning under this large growth
of dry material. The difficult
ties encountered will undoubted-
ly lead a good many of them to
resort to burning. The great
need of most cornbelt soils for
organic matter makes it highly
undesirable to burn off anything
where it can be avoided, except
occasionally on local areas for
controlling insects. Organic mat
ter is the great need of many
soils, as shown by analysis made
at the Missouri Agricultural
Experiment Station, and if
this large growth could be sat
isfactorily turned under at this
time it would be of great value
to the land.
The difficulties in blowing I'M
der are two; first, where the
covering is mainly of grass
which lies close to the ground
the soil dries out so slowly as to
throw blowing late. Second, it
is very difficult to turn under
this material and incorporate it
thoroly with the soil. There is
no entirely satisfactory way of
drying out the land if the soil is
very heavy and the layer of dry
grass is very thick except by
burning it off but it should be
understood that burning is the
last resort. 1t might even pay
better in such cases to pillow late
and seed to soybeans or cow
peas rather than attempt to
prepare the land for corn. The
problem of turning under this
material can largely be solved
by thoro disking as soon as the
land is dry enough. There are
doubtless extreme cases where
this cannot we'll be done, but as
a general rule the use Of a sharp
weighted disk will aid very great
ly in preparing this material
for blowing under. Farmers are
using the disk before blowing
and this is a case where its use
becomes Of greater Importance
than usual.
In case the land does not dry
early enough to allow the blowing
under of this material before the
latter part of April in central
Missouri the disk must certainly
be used to aid in Incorporating
. the organic matter with the
soil. A large amount of dry
material plowed into land late
v would be injurious to the i'm
RI mediate crop, in spite of the
fact that it might be beneficial
to the soil in the long run. BY
the use of a sharp disk one
4 should be able to save this or
!. ganic material for the soil and
70 at the same time prepare a
l. thoro seed bed for the immediate
d, crop, except in the most extreme
cases.

N. B.
The tax submitted for school pur-
poses is not an increase over the
amount of last year. but is an increase
over the amount that may be levied
by the School Board without the vote
of taxpayers being had. Under the
law the School Board can only levy
up to 40 cents On the 500 without
such vote. The levy this year is the
same levy that has been voted for the
past few years, and if the proposition
carries, the rate Of taxation for school
purposes will be the same as in 1916.
