TEACHERS PENSION Bill
GET OK?

Hearings on teachers pension bill
began today in the house at Spring
field. Attempts of the Jake Loeb
faction of the Chicago school board
to amend the bill so as to take away
control from the teachers and place
it in the hands of the school board
were predicted. Ida L. Fursman,
president Teachers Federation, and
Margaret Haley, business represen-
tative, told members of the fedora
ton that outlook is good for teach
ers having six and school board three
representatives on pension board.

CHICAGO READY FOR DRAGNET
USE ON GERMAN SPIES

Govt agents today were waiting
for the final action of the house in
declaring war before throwing out a
dragnet that will place scores of Ger
man spies, known to be in Chicago,
in custody.
A thorough investigation, which
has been conducted for months, has
revealed that Chicago is a veritable
hot bed Of spies and emmissaries Of
the central powers. Headquarters
are known to be established at sew
eral different locations in the city.
Officials also stated today that
singly and in twos and threes thou
sands of German reservists have
been moving out of Chicago and the
middle western states toward the
Mexican border the past week.

DEMAND FOR DomEs1IcA1ED BLACKBERRY

The wild. or native blackberry vine.
Is not so plentiful as 1t once was. There
are fewer old fields, fewer brown-up
fence rows. fewer picturesque rail
fences with corners to shelter them
from the plow. With the passing Of
the wild blackberry vine Q market for

altogether better. domesticated black
berry Is opening.
fruit growers. have paid a great deal
Of attention to the growing and mar
keting of the blackberry. writes w. O..
BlOsser Of Indiana in Farm and Prog
ress. They are fairly hardy and bear
most seasons. but, like their wild cous-
ins, they are badly injured by late
frosts. 1t is estimated that an acre
Of blackberries will produce something
like 500 worth Of fruit In a year.,
and there is always a real sale for
them.
Good Market for Berries.
1t is likely that there will be a good
market for them for long while in
the future. They ripen at a time in
the summer when fruit is comparative
ly scarce and therefore desirable.
There can be no question about their
popularity. Cafes, hotel dining rooms
and first-class restaurants everywhere
are glad to get blackberries Of good
quality. They are the raw materials
for Just the sort Of pies liked by city
man and farmer alike. AS to their
preserving. canning and cordial max
ing qualities, those are too well known
to need comment.
In the last few years a large num-
Der Of good varieties have been de-
veloped. One Of the few diseases that
cause any trouble in a blackberry
planting is cane rust. This is hard to
overcome, but can be got rid of by
cutting out all the diseased canes as
soon as the rust spots are seen.

HEAVY TOLL TAKEN
BY USELESS WEEDS
OF Great Importance to Corn
Crop to Kill Noxious Plants
and Conserve Moisture.

Why do you cultivate corn? There
are a number of reasons but, perhaps
paramount among all of them, is this
one-to kill weeds. And why kill
weeds? To conserve the moisture in
the soil which a heavy crop of weeds
would normally remove-and thus in
crease tine corn yield. While 1t Is of
recognized importance to save mois-
ture by forming q dust mulch when
cultivating, it is equally as important
to kill the weeds, to hold the mois-
ture In the soil.
The heavy toll which weeds take
from the yield of the corn crop has
been shown in experiments at the Uni
versity Of Illinois.
Plots at the university, that were
well prepared for corn, but in which
the weeds were allowed to grow, pro-
duced only 7.3 bushels per acre as an
eight-year average. while plots just by
the side with the ground prepared and
the corn planted in the same way. but
the weeds kept down by scraping with
a hoe, produced 45.9 bushels, or an
increase Of 1856 bushels Of corn per
acre.
Experiments further show that for
the dry seasons 1911, 1913 and 1914
the uncultivated plots (weeds kept
down by scraping with hoe) produced
an average of Alb bushels, while the
cultivated ones produced 32.3 bushels.
or a difference of nine bushels In
favor of no cultivation. This culti-
walton was done with three-shovei
cultivator to a depth of about three
inches, or the usual depth with a cul-
tivator Of this kind.

Garden Crop Between Rows.
II the spring is wet the berries will

after they are put out it will be best
to water them a little from time to

they are put out some sort Of garden
crop should be grown between the

help the blackberry canes.
1t Is a good plan to continue the cul-
tivation indefinitely. as the vines will
choke each other out by growing be-

turbed. Little canes will start up all
