STATE FARM WARNS .
AGAINST SOW THISTLE.
Gives Plan For Graduating This
Crop Menace.

1t is possible that some farmers
are not familiar with the perennial
sow thistle and are permitting small
patches to mature seed and are in
this way storing up a great deal Of
trouble for the future.
In passing through the country
one can see a great many patches
which are now in bloom and which
must have immediate attention or
must have immediate attention or seed
sufficient to sow the entire country
will be produced. The sow thistle
plant in it's early stages is not I'M
like the dandelion. The leaves are
lighter in color and are narrower,
with only a suggestion Of spine or
thorns. Usually about July Is they
send up branching seed stems two
or four feet in height which bear
flowers very similar to dandelions.
When these are mature the seed is
distributed by the wind. -
The only sure way to eradicate
this pest is by concerted action on
the part of every farmer whether he
be owner or tenant. The first step
naturally is to prevent seed forma-
ton by cutting these tall seed stems
now. The patches can be handled
with view to complete eradication
later. Eradication methods are SIM
liar to those used for quack grass
or Canadian thistle, namely, the use
of thorough summer tillage and the
absolute prevention of the produc-
ton of green leaves. This may be
done by summer fallow or by the
growing Of corn or potatoes. If it
is kept in mind that plants elaborate
their food in and through the leaf
system it is very obvious that if no
leaf is present no food is being{
transferred to the root and death is
inevitable. When failure follows
this treatment one can always trace
the fault to the farmer himself and
it is always found that during busy
seasons the pest is neglected for a
period and leaf growth develops.
There is upon the statutes Of
Minnesota weed law which, if en-
forced rigidly, would within two
years rid the entire Red River VAL
ley of all noxious weeds. This law;
makes it a misdemeanor to allow
noxious weeds to mature seed and
provides for the cutting of such
weeds by order of the road overseers
or supervisors and the cost added to
the taxes of the property. This law
does not bind the owner of land
alone but also the tenant of such
land. It is needless to say that the
law has not been obeyed and in
many cases has not been enforced
by those who have the authority to
enforce it. S7 ~

Fine Makeup,

At dinner given recently by the
Twilight club to Sir Herbert Beerbohm
Tree, the English actor, one of the
speakers, an associate of the guest Of
honor, told story illustrative of the
gently satirical wit of Sir Herbert.
He said that once upon time a self
sufficient young actor joined Sir Her
bert's company. then playing in Lon
don, and was assigned small part in
a new play. AS the day for dress re-
hearsal drew near, the head of the
company was moved to ask the young
man how he expected to make up for
the character. g
The young actor, being flattered by
this attention, pulled serious face.
''Sir Herbert" he said, II have been
giving the matter considerable study.
/ shall make up the part as man
about forty-one years old or possibly
fortytwO." 49,.
"Admirabler' said Sir Herbert. 'Ad-
mirable!' And then, as the young man
turned away highly pleased, "But-
pardon the suggestion-if I were you I
should make him up as exactly forty
three!'-Saturday Evening Post.

The act requires that the appor-
tionment for each year shall be
made in the same manner. Differ
ent sums are appropriated for each
year and the apportionment must
also take into consideration the pop
ulation as shown by the latest avail
able Federal census and the mileage
of rural delivery and star routes as
shown by the certificate Of the Post
master General for the next proceed
ing fiscal year. A new apportion-
ment, therefore, must be announced
for each fiscal year.
The apportionment as given above
does not take into consideration the

each year for 10 years for the devel-
opment of rural roads in the Nation

Moseley caught him in the act be-
fore daylight and started to arrest
him. The big negro carried a heavy
