Many complaints come to us from

is they did sow alfalfa, but this SOU
clover seed has been coming in o,

following spring. After this crop ol

Keep the ditch banks and fields clean

seed.
Eighteen ranches have been visited
in the interest of eradicating noxious
weeds. We are experimenting with
chemicals on creeping malva. Com
mon annual weeds are also nOXlouS,
dt.e to the fact that they reduce re-
production. but are not serious to a
good farmer, as he keeps his farm
free from weeds. At this time eS-
pecially it would not seem needed to
call anyone's attention to keeping
farms clean in order to grow the
amount of crops to do their
tart of assisting in production for
the nation. AS there will be at least
100 per cent increase in the produc
ton of milo, it is advisable to use
the water during the next 90 days,
while there is plenty, and be sure OF

fill. it full of waterfall it will tt ke-

plsnt milo, and one irrigation Will
produce a good crop of corn.
As the maximum production de-
pends upon clean farms. naturally
ccckleburs will make it impossible tc
make the full production. This Is
the time to clean up. 1t is very Sc
rious to move cattle and sheep from
fields infested with cockleburs to fields
rot infested. ! am sure that most OF
the farmers will cooperate with this
department in cleaning up the coun'

All those who fail to clean up viii

serious infestations reported to this

Appeals From Decree on Hetty
Green's Residence

New York.-Eugene N. Travis, state
comptroller has filed in the appellate
division of the supreme court, an ap-
peal from the decision of Surrogate
Fowler declaring the late Mrs. Hetty
Green to have been a resident of the
state of Vermont at the time of her
death. Under the surrogates de-
cision, the estate would be taxed in
Vermont and the state of New York
would lose a transfer tax of several
million dollars. The estate has been
variously estimated at from $780,
100000 to $15O,OO0,O0O in value.
The comptroller maintained in the
proceedings in surrogate's court that
Mrs. GREEN'S home was where her
money was" 1t was asserted on be-
half of the estate, however, that Mrs.
Green transacted all her business as
a resident of Below Falls, Vt.
