serious proposition, and yet 1t can be
just as surely managed as the small
patch II only thorough enough methods
are employed. Great persistence Is re-
quired in keeping right after the pest
until 1t Is gone for good.
To rid large fields Of quack grass two
things are essential-irst, the ready
prevention of all green leaf growth;
second, bringing the roots out of the
ground by some means easier and
quicker than hand digging. Summer
following is regarded by many as the
best way to accomplish this.
Some have smothered the weeds by
means of a thick heavy growth Of some
crop like hemp, rye or clover. AS a
rule, however, when quack grass has
once taken full possession of field no
other crop. no matter how thickly
sown. can be relied upon to control or
eradicate II.

ABOUT SMALL FRUITS.

Hurry the picked berries into cool
place out of the sun.
Keep your eye on the currant and
gooseberry bushes: often there is sec
ond brood OF the currant worm pest.
Don't pick wet berries for market
Wait until they dry off. Wet berries
are soft and do not ship well.
Light one inch mesh fish netting
makes an excellent covering for ripen-
ting berries that attract the birds.
Scarecrows and strings often fail; net
ting Is sure and not expensive for
small areas.
Spray the grapevines with the Dor
deaux- arsenate of lead mixture. the
first application soon after the fruit
sets, the second about ten days later
and the third about two weeks after
ward. This helps to prevent rot,
wormy grapes and other troubles. A
further help is to put paper bags on
the grape clusters when the berries are
the size of small shot and leave them
there until harvest time.

Prepared by Wisconsin station.l
There is no sleight of hand way Of

The method to be used depends,
among other things, upon the nature Of
the field and upon how thick the weed

two or three rods square 1t is perhaps
most easily and effectively killed by
smothering. Tar paper or some like ma
terial has been used with good results.
To make smothering successful, ac-

Japan WOULD SUCCEED
u. s. IN PHILIPPINES
Would Be Compelled by Self
Defence, Says Bishop Brent.

Newport, r. l., Sept. 81. Bishop
Charles II. Brent, head of the Episcopal
Church in the Philippines, declared in
an address here to-day that if the
United States withdrew from the ISL
ands Japan, in self-defence, would have
TO assume control.
THE protective service rendered by
the American flag to the Philippines
is ocnefi. Of great proportions" he
said. peace has reigned in the islands
since the establishment Of civil gov
eminent. The people have had unob-
structed opportunity TO develop the art
Of self-government under the guidance
Of a great nation. If we were TO with
draw our protection Japan would be
forced in self-defence to assume con-
troll.
"As long as the United States stands
sponsor for the Philippines, Japan will
make no effort to change the status
quo. The Japanese will never make the
Philippines an issue with the United
States. In the same position as Japan,
America undoubtedly would adopt the
same attitude"

WASHINGTON IGNORES
c. E. RUSSELL'S CHARGE

to Wilson Critic.

Washington, Sept. 81 State Depart

no official complaint had been received
concerning the refusal of the Paris
Embassy 10 grant Charles Edward Rus

charged that ne was denied courtesies
extended to other newspaper CORE
spondents by Charge d'Afaires Robert
Woods Bliss, because he had criticised
President Wilson in Paris newspaper.
It was pointed out that the letter
Mr. Russell asked of Mr. Bliss was not
an official passport, but merely a per-
sonal recommendation, granted as a
favor by diplomatic officers in their
discretion. Mr.. Bliss. therefore. is held

however, State Department officials are

ished with all the vigor at the COM
mand of government. :.
Members Of your committee indi-
Gated in conference with the Mayor on
Monday that in all probability condi-
ton OF much more serious disorder
would follow upon the declaration OF
sympathetic strikes, particularly IN the
shining industries. To call these
strikes will be to assume full response
bility for all that may follow.
I'VE live under a government OF law
whose enforcement is committed INTO
the hands of the Mayor. Conditions
which you yourselves have Indicated
might follow general sympathetic
strikes would be grossly violatlve OF
the laws and would convulse the civil
lied and orderly life OF this COM
munity. We wish TO make it unmis-
takably clear 10 you that 10 prevent
that condition the full civil and mill
tary powers conferred by law upon the
Mayor will be employed. We trust
that the sober second thought and bet
ter Judgment of the men who direct the
course and policies of organized labor
in this city will lead them TO refrain
from declaring sympathetic strikes.
But moral suaslon, even with the
weight of public opinion oenlnd H.
proved no more effective with the labor
chiefs than it had with the companies.
Just as Theodore p. Shonts, the Inter
borough and the New York Railways
had held TO the resolve TO enter into no
more collective bargaining, so the
strike leaders refused TO bulge from
their stand that re-recognition of the
Amalgamated union and arbitration OF
the individual contract question must
precede the mems return TO work.
Mr.. Shonts had not been vlslDly I'M
pressed By the insstence of the Mayor
