DLIGENT INQUIRY
AS TO LEE BIRTHS
County Assessors Will Be Required to
Make Returns on This Item
at This Counting.

County assessors will this year be
required to inquire diligently at each
and every household as to the births
during the year of 1915. A special
order has been sent out by the state
department, calling attention to the
fact that the assessors have been de-
cidedly lax on this point in the past
and that there shall be no laxity this
year. These statistics are held vital
to the state and they can be secured
accurately by no other means, in
fact is legally compulsory upon the
assessors to do this work. A child
born during the past year, but dead
before the coming of the assessor, is
to be listed, as we'll as certain infor-
nation concerning each.
There is a legal requirement of the
assessors tabulating the deaths in
each township, but this statute is
not enforced because the state gets
more accurate reports from the un-
dertakers, and gets them every
month.
The assessors Of Lee county will
gather at the FIT Madison court house
tomorrow for the annual instruction by
the county auditor, and to receive
their tax books and supplies. The
county auditor is required to call at
tention of the assessors to the man
ner of posting books, changes in the
laws from last year, time for finishing
reports, duties and salaries, and any
subjects on which they may desire
information. The meeting will be
called to order at 10000 o'clock.

Drunken Chauffeur Ran Into Crowd Of
Young People at High Speed

L KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Jan. 10
Booze and women did It," cried Ralph
J. Smiley, chauffeur today, after ad-
hitting driving speeding car
through a party Of boys and girls re-
turning from a party early Sunday
morning. Two were killed, seven in
jured. Only two escaped. Eugene
Swartz and Fred Baeder, Smiley's
companions in the death car, also said
they were drinking and speeding. All
admit not stopping after hitting the
party.
According to their stories to the
police, Smiley was taking his en-
players car home Saturday evening
when he met his two friends. They
picked up two girls, then followed a
wild night Of drink. After taking the
girls home, the three men returned
for more whisky and then began their
speeding. At Fifteenth and Troost,
the racing car plunged into eleven
marry makers ON their way home
from social gathering. They were
tossed. crushed and broken, in all di-
rections. while the blood-stained and
battered car raced out of sight.
Two hours later the police found
It in a garage. bearing mute evidence
of the slaughter. Arrest of the trio
followed shortly.
A contributing cause of the TRAGEDY
was a blocked sidewalk which forced
the party to the street in passing
building under construction.

Five invitations have been extended

grass from developing seeds to the
point where they will terminate,
crops in which it is growing should
be cut not later than the last week in
June.
Young quack grass plants, attack
ed before they have formed under
ground stems, are as easily killed as
plants of wheat or other grains Of
the same age.
Manure containing Quack grass seed
may be applied on plowed ground be-
fore preparing the soil for a eultfvat-
ed crop The seed will grow the
same season, and the young plants
will be killed in the preparation Of
the seed bed and the cultivation Of
the crop.
Digging by hand and removing from
the field all portions of the plant,
smothering with tar paper and spray
ing with a solution Of sodium arse
mite are best for the complete eradi-
cation Of Quack grass on small spots.
AL methods Of eradication on large
fields are based on thorough tillage.
The implements found on any well
elulppeu IdIIu are dll ludl are ueeueu
to eradicate quack grass.
The most effective bare fallOW meth
Cd Of eradication was blowing in July
three or four inches deep, replowing
not later than Aug. Is five or six inches
deep and again in November six or
seven inches deep. The disk was used
as needed between plowings to keep
tho n11op- from ShNwinc
above ground The cost of the addi-
tiOnal labor necessary for complete
eradication under this system was
$3.50 per acre. No crop was secured
from the land that season.
Complete eradication of Quack grass
while following a system Of crop rOta-
ton was found practical when more
than the ordinary amount of tillage
was given.
Tillage given now and then when
nothing else needs immediate attention
is largely lost effort in the eradication
Of quack grass. To be effective there
must be a we'll planned and carefully
carried out campaign with which other
work is not allowed to Interfere. Till
age operations should injure the quack
grass as much as possible and should
he repeated often enough to make ef-
fective the work that has preceded.
Eradication of quack grass on land
that has been plowed each year is more
difficult than on land that has been
undisturbed for number of years.
In carrying out the different rotations
a regular plan of cleanup to eradi-
cate the quack grass was followed on
each field with uniformly successful
results. The plan was varied on three
"f the fields to secure additional data.
\ four year rotation on four fields,
each one in turn having in successive
years grain. hay. corn, and corn, gives
exceptional opportunity for the erad1-
cation of quack grass. This rotation
can be followed to advantage, especial
ly on fields where quack grass is very
vigorous or when weather conditions
make the eradication unusually Diff
cult.
