KILL THE WEEDS.
Crop Improvement Service

National Crop Improvement ServIce.J
Spring blowing, or disking, as soon
as the weed seeds have terminated, Is
usually a profitable practice. Where
small grain is to be sown, the sowing
should be done soon after blowing:
but where corn, potatoes, or the
sorghums are to be grown, there is
often a period of several weeks be-
tween the time Of the termination of
the weed seeds and the time when the
season is sufficiently advanced to
plant the crop. This period should be
utilized as far as possible for the de.
scruction of weeds before the crop Is
planted. Much labor in keeping the
crop free from weeds during its grow.
ing period can thus be saved

Tanning and Grading Seed Barley.

y National Crop Improvement SeFVIce.I
Not nearly enough attention is given
to getting the uniform size of seed
grain, especially is this true in barley,
where it is important that the germ
nation should all take place on the
same day. Therefore, the kernels
should be of the same size and weight
The very largest should perhaps be
removed as we'll as the smaller ones,
leaving the seed plump and uniform.
It is true that small seeds and giant
seeds will terminate, but the plant
food contained therein will undoubted-
~ make an unevenness in the matur-
ity at harvest.

JnumDer oI years ago. she ID survived
by six children, Mrs Kate Darby Of
Illinois: Mrs Ada Stearns Of Dubu-
que; Mrs. Nellie Davis, Washington;
Mrs Lou Lang, Monticello; Mrs. Ella
Reeve and +. B. Tibbitts, of Hopkin-
ton. Mrs. Tibbitts was nearly eighty
five years of age. .......
In Sioux City April 80 occurred the
death of Mrs. Addie Elizabeth Cleve-
land, at the age of 81 years. She is
survived by two sons, Irving j. and
Earl E. Cleveland, and also her aged
father, Martin V. Billings, Of Ireton,
Iowa, and four brothers, Fred, of Mon
tana; w. W., of Sioux Falls, South
Dakota; S. E., of Eagle Grove, Iowa,
and L. w., of Mason City. Mrs. Cleve-
land resided for many years near Hop
kinton with her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Martin Billings, on their farm now oc-
cupied by E. A. Dunlay. Mr.. Cleve-
land, who died several years ago, was
cousin of John and Frank Brrokow.
The Tooth anniversary of the Amer
lean Sabbath school union was observ-
ed in the Presbyterian church last
Sabbath.
From the Hopkinton Leader we take
the following: "a masquerade party
on Monday night, given by Miss Greta
Mackenzie at the presidents home,
was an occasion Of much merriment.
About hundred guests, students and
friends of the college arrived prompt
ly, at eight o'clock. Music for the
evening was furnished by Messrs. Mil
ton Mehl of Iowa City, and Charles
Mccartney, violinist. Clowns, Sisters
of Mercy, Red Cross nurses, flower
girls, monks, ancient maiden ladies,
tiny girls in short dresses and red top
ped shoes and even wild Indians in
their native dress and carrying toma
hawks, went silently from one to an
other, peering into eyes and trying
to recognize their dearest friends.
Uncle Sam and Columbia, Red Riding
Hood and Maude Muller, Old Dutch
Cleanser and many other famous
characters mingled with the crowd.
Two of the boys like Pat, had only one
suit of clothes and that in the wash,
supplied a part of the deficiency with
barrels, and for the rest, like the poor
benighted Hindu, they had to make
their skin do. However they seemed
to enjoy themselves fully as well as
the more fortunate who were able to
secure costumes The winners Of
contest in pantomim were awarded a
large box of candy for their efforts.
After the Mosques were removed each
guest was given a horn or whistle
and pandemonium reigned. At the
close of the grand promenade the
president introduced very popular
game by demonstrating the method of
securing tray containing delicious
and dainty lunch. The real joy and de-
light which shone on the faces of tie
departing guests as they babe good
night to their hostess and received
from her beautiful carnation was
evidence that when they said, II liked
your party, they really meant it.

Courses and Dishes.

Three courses seem to have been the
customary menu in medieval times for
a state banquet. less ceremonial feasts
comprising only two and no private
dinner more than one. But each course
might comprise from eight to dozen
different dishes. Thus at the wedding
banquet Of Henry v. there were only
three courses, yet over thirty different
dishes are mentioned in the records,
irrespective of fruits and wines.-Lon-

LOSS FROM BAD ROADS.

The U. S. Department OF Agriculture
estimates that the farmers Of the ma
ton are annually losing $250,000,000
because of their inability to market
their produce at certain times of the
wear. Counties which are rich in agri-
cultural products are burdened with
bad roads and 1t is of much concern
to the farmers to see to the building
of good roads. Good roads, 365-day
roads, are insurance for continued
community prosperity.

The Country Needs a Biz Corn Crop
This Year.

There ought to be IA crop of corn
produced this year. The present
and prospective shortage of the
winter grain crops makes a big corn
crop almost essential to well fed
live stock and people next winter.
We would not advise any reader
to plunge into any other crop, hut
we do believe it safe to urge.readers
to give the corn crop the best pos
sible show this year and to endeavor
to produce an abundant supply for
their own needs and at least a
little surplus for sale il this is at
all practical.
No reader should forget, how.
ever, that corn is u rich land crop
and that it seldom pays to plant it
on poor ground.
Corn still remains our creates
