you grew the seed yourself and did not
put any weed seeds into it that it is
any better than that which you might

weeds to flourish, there are chances

Wire worms injure corn and pota-
toes most but. feed freely on wheat
and oats. They thrive best in sod
ground and may be controlled by
crop rotation, fall blowing and good
cultivation. So MAJ the grub-worm.

Shallow, early cultivation is needed
for corn that was planted in a thor

method that best kills the weeds and

YASS CITY
Will Get Five Cents Per Name Which
VIII be Donated to School
Library This Year

Boys and girls of the civics depart
ment of the Moscow high school, un-
der direction of their instruction, N
w. Morse, this week completed the
taking of the school census which has
formerly been taken by persons EN-
ployed by the school board, at a
charge of five cents per name. This
year the money raised by the boys aad
girls will go to the library fund. Com
plete returns on the census have not
been made, as yet, by Superintendent
Henry who is working with Mr.. Morse
in tabulating the results, but it is
thought the number of young people
of school age in the district has de-
creased considerably since last year.
The city was divided into nine dis
tricts and captain placed over eacn
district who was made responsible for
the accuracy of his crew in getting
the results. A little confusion was
experienced by the young people in de-
filming the boundaries of their dis
tricts, but otherwise their work was
done efficiently and creditably, and
they are to be commended for their
fine spirit and their desire to help the
school library.
The names of all children between
the ages of and 20, inclusive, were
taken. The following captains, assist
ed by others from the high school, had
charge of the various districts: Main
and Polk. between North Sixth and
South A. Frank Erickson; same streets
between A and Mckinley, Elra Hunt
cr: Polk and Garfield between Sixth
and A. Roy Handlin; all streets north
of A between Polk and Garfield, Cor
don Staples; south of Sixth between
Main and Logan, Dullie Walker; south

Inns; north of Sixth between Main and
Elder, Nellie Toner; west of Elder
and north of Sixth, Neva Drury; west
Of Elder and Main and south of Main
and Sixth, Boyd Brigham.

lowing captains, Villa Draper; south

poses on all of the taxable property
in said county, except fox such an
amount as they found necessary for
the establishment and laying out OF
new roads, the purchase of road ma
chinery, and the payment of the salary
OF road overseers.
| 1t also appears that the commission
ers have taken the position that the
cost of the maintenance and improve
ment of the public roads and high
ways within the county must be met
by special assessment upon petition
filed with the board by a MAJORITY of
the resident taxpayers within each
road district, provided the resident
taxpayers in such road district shall
deem it necessary in order to properly
maintain and improve the public roads
and highways within such districts;
and unless the resident taxpayers so
petition for the levy Of special prop
erty tax upon the taxable property
within their district for the above pur-
pose, it was not incumbent upon. nor
the duty OF, the board OF county coai-
missioners to provide funds for the
maintenance or improvement of the
public roads or highways within any
OF the road districts OF said county,
by the leYying OF a general property
tax for that purpose.
1t is quite clear to our minds that
the statutory provisions hereinbefore
cited and referred to, touching the
ers over the public roads and high
ways of their respective counties, are
mandatory and that the commission
ers are required to levy general
property tax annually on the assess
ed valuation of all the taxable proper
ty in their respective counties for the
maintenance and improvement of the
established public roads and highways
therein as well as for other purposes
necessarily connected with, or in
cidental to, the maintenance of good
roads.
We think it viii be conceded that
the property of road district can
not be subject TO a special tax for
general county purposes, and that it
must also be conceded that Duyhic
roads and highways are constructGe
for and should be maintained by the
county al large and that the inhabit-
ants of any road district should not
be compelled to pay a special tax for
the maintenance and Improvement OF
the public roads and highways gem
orally within the county Should the
OF respondents be sustain
ed it would no doubt result in not only
a lack of uniformity in levies for road
purposes, but would also result in
the public roads and highways not be-
ing kept in good condition throughout
the entire county, and the commission
ers would be powerIess to remedy this
condition.
1t was never intended that there
should be such uncertainty attached

of the public roads and
highways within the various counties

y by a general levy made for that

Harvesting and Threshing

Ordinarily pea harvest should pre-
ceed the wheat harvest, beginning
about the middle of July. This year
it began about the first OF September.
Mowers with pea windrowing attach
ments were used, cutting about seven
acres a day; the peas were shocked;
and threshing was done from the
shocks with NIudgett's big threshing
machine, arrangements having been
made for slowing down the cylinder
to prevent cracking of the peas. The
separator ran at the usual speed The
peas were recleaned at LADDERS mill
before they were sold.

How Much to Plant.

Ninety pounds TO the acre in rows,
or a hundred and twenty pounds
broadcast is in the opinion of Mr..
O'Conner the proper rate of seeding
here. Using only the droppers eiSh-
teen inches apart, it was possible for
Mr. O'Conner to put in only about
sixty-five pounds to the acre. If dry
weather follows seeding, the peas
will check Wild oats considerably if
sowed heavily Wet weather following
the seeding brings on the wild oats
rapidlv, and cultivation is necessary
to insure any. considerable yield.

HOW TO RAISE PEAS
TOLD BY AN EXPERT
JAMES O'CONNER TELLS METHODS
USED IN SUCCESSFUL GROW
ING OF PROFITABLE CROP
Methods Vary With Conditions
ment of Seed For Pests And With
Bacterial Culture Pays

Over seventy-fye hundred dol
lars worth of blue Prussian Canadian
field peas were grown on a hundred
and twenty acres by James and George
O'Conner, who came to Moscow three
years ago from Kansas. James O'Con-
ner attended the Farmers Week ses-
sion at the University year ago last
winter, and becoming interested in the
incubation of seeds of leguminous
plants with nitrogen gathering bacter-
ia, decided to try growing crop from
inoculated peas, which he did with
great success last year.
This year he planted hundred-acre
field of his own and twenty acres of
rented land to peas, and Saturday he
finished threshing the crop, which has
been sold to John Gibson at four cents
a pound The yield of the hundred and
twenty acres was 14O5 sacks averaging
1876 pounds.
Mr.. Conner is greatly pleased with
his income from the crop, but is GER
tain that his yield would have been
much greater if he had been able to
drill in his seed at the rate of ninety
pounds to the acre, as he wished to
do, instead of siXty-fve pounds to the
acre as was necessary on account of
limiting the capacity of his drill by
planting in eighteen-inch rows.

Peas Drilled i'm Rows

On ground free from wild oats,
broadcast drilling is recommended,
but on foul ground planting in rows
eighteen inches apart is preferred Mr.
O'Conner followed the latter plan, and
cultivated his field twice with a beet
cultivator, beginning as soon as the
rows showed. About twenty acres
could be covered in a day, and the
second cultivation was begun as soon
as the first was completed.

Ground Well Prepared

Mr.. O'Conner and his son prepared
their land as for the planting of
wheat or oats, plowing most OF it III
the fall, and working it with disks
and harrows as is usual. On account
of the late wet spring, the planting
was delayed this year, but the seed
was put in as soon as the ground was
dry enough to work. Mr.. OConner
believes in early seeding, and says
that in normal years peas should be
planted in March.

Labor is not commodity" he de-

mere tool of his employer he is only
serviceable as the tool. His enthusiasm

who should cooperate together" the
president continued.
And, therefore, it came to me with
