DESTROYING MORNING
GL0RIES
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.

The field morning glory resembles
the cultivated kind and unlike the bind
weed, grows only from seed. We find
four varieties of morning -glories on
our lowland farms, so the only remedy
is TO prevent the seeding.
The field bindweed is q morning
glory with small flowers and vinelike
stems that entwine closely about any
thing they reach.
The numerous roots send out plants
from every eye. These roots being
spread by the plow or cultivator form
new plants, until in a short time the
| cornfield is completely, covered.
They start so early in the spring
that before the corn is large enough to
cultivate, the rows are so hidden that
they must be cleaned out with hoe be-
fore cultivation Is begun.
Another variety called hedge bind
weed, pea-vine, morning-glory has
large funnel-shaped flowers and a more
slender vine than the other varieties.
In the central states we find still an
other of the prolific pests. This is the
wild sweet potato or manor -the-earth
vine. It's roots resemble in shape the
cultivated sweet potato but are much
larger and penetrate far below the
plowing depths.
Cutting the tops does little good and
cutting the roots only muItfplfes the
number of vines as all pieces Of roots
grow the same as the edible sweet Do
tato.
The plow only serves as a means Of
spreading and transplanting the pieces
Of roots, which grow new plants Gov
ering with salt or injecting sulphuric
acid into the roots are as effective as
any remedy for the weed which for
tunately is not so common as the other
varieties of mOrning-glory.
Hogs are very fond of the roots and |
are great help In cleaning up badly |
infested ground. Flowing during July |
and August prevents the plants from
growing again in the same season and
will make them much less plentiful the
next year.
Lambs also like the vines wonder
fully well and few will be left in the
fall If they are turned on before the
go to seed.
Our experience with blndweeds is
that spring plowing and persistent use
Of the cultivator only serve to spread
the roots over greater areas.
The lowlands where the bindweed
hourishes are also suitable for alfalfa.
We find that between the cuttings of
alfalfa the bindweed has no oppor-
tunity to seed and in few years

On Will Traininu.

The magazines advertise many books
on will training. Each of them prom
ises to heal the sick self, to strengthen
the feeble knes, to turn the poor in
heart into dominating personalities, to
make live wires out of hard bound
brains. Pleasant is the picture, very
pleasant and alluring which these ad-
vertisements paint of the future. Your
inhibitions shall be cast out of you.
they shall perhaps enter into your
Gadarene competitors, who shall be
driven violently down a steep place

THE USE OF CALADIUMS
BY LIMA r. ROSE.

If you have an unsightly spot In the
rear of the house, which, by the way,
should never exist, you may hide 1t
from the casual visitor by border Of
the beautiful broad-leaved caladium.
Against background Of sweet peas
or saliva 1t produces beautiful ef"
feet.
The best way to cultivate caladium
is to plant the tubers as early in the
spring as the ground will permit. The
soil should be very rich with leaf mold
and well-rotted manure, and should be
worked up with a little sand into
loose loan. The addition Of bone
meal, we'll worked into the soil, will
help the growth of the plants and add
to their beauty.
OF the fancy-leaved caladiums, those
best suited to outdoor planting are
those having a predominance of green
In the foliage, as the highly-colored
kind do not do quite as well.

plant can hardly be found in an alfalfa
field.
The bindweed when once estab-
llshed in a field is there to stay or put
up n strenuous fight and no halfway
methods will accomplish anything In
the way Of getting rid Of this pest.
When plowlng or cultivatlng through
small spots of merning-glory, 1t pays to
clean the plow or cultivator Of all roots
to prevent the spreading Of the growth
Of new plants.
The use of the disk harrow and disk
cultivators will help to prevent the
spread of this pest.
Prevention and the use Of every
known means of destruction must be
used If we would rid our farms of this
pest.

SUCCESSFUL TRANSPLANTING

To successfully transplant, a great
deal of care is necessary. Observe
these few important simple rules:
If possible, choose a cloudy day for
this work, or do 1t in the evening. Wa
ter the plants so that the soil is thor
oughly saturated; then lift the seed
lings carefully with plenty Of soil and
gently separate the plants.
With sharp knife remove about
two-thirds Of the leaves and stems and
then puddle the roots. On no account
should the sun reach the roots, even
for moment.
The holes should be ready to receive
the plants. Fill them with water and
set the plants firmly into the soil,
pressing the soil carefully about the
dry soil on top of the
wet soil.
If the sun shines shade the plants
for few days.

BUSINESS MEMS WAR" FOR GREAT
BRITAIN AND The UNITED STATES
Most Efficient and Powerful Men in Commerce and Industry Give
Services to the Government That Could Not Be Purchased
What the National Council of Defense Is Doing for
This Country.

New York.-This war mny not be a
trade struggle, but on the shoulders of
business men depends to a great ex-
tent the successful prosecution OF 1t.
Especially is this true in Great Brit
ain and the United States. In Ger
many before the war the corporate
Interests, such as the steamship lines,
banks and factories, were closely
linked with the government in an ef-
ficient race for world leadership. The
government aided them; quite natur-
ally they aided the government when
war broke ont.
With Great Britain and the United
States the situation is somewhat diff
ferent. There was cooperation be-
tween the government and big busi-
ness, but not so much the intimate
Teutonic sort. But the situation Is
now changed, and instead of war being
pushed to d finish one way or the
other by the government with little
aid outside Of floating bond Issues,
the business men have taken over de-
tails lack of action on which might
be fatal.
Great Britain has several hundred
Of the most efficient and powerful
business men in the country perform
Ing innumerable tasks to conduct the
war on a strictly business basis. The
number in this country is larger with
the list growing daily.
The service of none of these men,
whether they be English or American,
could be purchased. Their earning
capacity is virtually unlimited. Yet
all of them have given without re-
serve or qualification their time and
energy In aiding their country. 1t is
not an alarmist view to think what
would have happened to the cause of
the allies had not the business men
stepped in and did what they have
done and are doing.
Seeking Results.
Not, of course, that the public
knows just what either the British
board or the national advisory COM
mission of the national defense coun-
Gil in this country has done. They
seek results, not publicity, and for
this reason it is possible only to have
a faint idea of their achievements. 1t
requires a strong Imagination to visu-
alize just what they have done, but
their general results of cutting gov
ernmental red tape, purchasing sup
plies quickly and economically and
analyZing the resources of the nation
with the view to utilizing every bit of
power are almost sufficient in them
selves.

tent of their efforts, OF which only a
few leak out now and then, 1t would
deserve properly to be classed above
twentieth century miracles.
Merging the Railroads.
1t is rather much Of an old story
now to tell of the merging of all the
railroads in the United States into one
continental system, doing away with
competition for the sake of maximum
national efficiency IN transportation.
But 1t illustrates to what extent the
business men have gone and how
willing they are to use their power

their sacrifices; many lines of busi-
ness have done something similar.
Every move of this kind on the part
of the business interests has shown
the more clearly how vital their aid
is and how much less the govern
men could do without it. proving
it is business mans war.
In this connection, GrOsvenor B.
Clarkson, secretary of the council Of
national defense and of the advisory
commission, said:
"Moderh war means that battles
are won not alone by fighting men
but by fighting industries. War has
ceased to be a profession in which
military men alone are called. On
the contrary, 1t enlists the specialists
of every industry and every science
from the firing line clear back to the
first line of defense.
"In the words of Howard Coffin, |
who started the movement for mobil-
izing the industrial forces of Amer
lea, twentieth century conflict de-
mands that the blood of the soldier
must be mingled with from three TO
five parts of the sweat of the man IN
the mills, mines and factories of the
nation in arms"
This sentiment of Mr.. Clarkson
crystalizes the thought as to the
great change in conducting warfare.
It applies equally as we'll in both
Great Britain and the United States
and, perhaps the other allies, but
British and American business men,
more than those of France, Italy and
Russia, are prosecuting the war, be-
.ause upon them lies the task for
inancing the struggle. England
helped her allies financially during
he early days of the war, and now
he United States has taken over the
OBJ for virtually the entire world.
They not only give money, but save
without being parstmonious, for,
