MAKE WAR ON WEEDS.
That Is One Way Kansas Can Increas.
The Food Supply.

Manhattan, Kan, May 5.-A state
wide weed swatting campaign is advo-
Gated for Kansas farmers and gard
eners in order to insure a war crop
for this year.
"Pernicious weeds, commonly intro
duced on the farm by the sowing of
impure seed, tend toward crop reduc-
ton" asserted Robert-Schmidt, seed
analyst in the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college. often a good stand of
alfalfa has been ruined by vigorous
weeds which choked it out before it
became well esta blished."
Weeds are primarily a robber crop,
according to Mr.. Schmidt. When
growing with crop plants, they rob
the soil Of much food and moisture
which should be used by other plants.
Weeds are usually hardy and prolific.
They will thrive especially well in
carefully prepared soil if given a
chance. Unless kept down by proper
cultivation and crop rotation they
will soon overrun the land. Weeds
are eradicated at great expense. Good
clean seed should always be sown-
the best obtainable is none too good.

TO DESTROY GOPHERS
They Can Be Put Out of Way for %
Cents a Dozen.

Gophers can be destroyed for 25
cents a dozen-a low price consider
ing the fact that these little animals
destroy fully 10 per cent of the alfalfa
of Kansas every year, in addition to
damaging other crops. Destruction of
the gophers will mean an annual saw
ing of millions of dollars to the state
1t is a comparatively simple mat
ter to eradicate these pests, says the
committee on injurious mammals
Kansas council of defense. Grain
treated with a poisoned syrup may be
inserted in their burrows. An effec-
tual poison is sold at cost by the agri-
cultural college. Another method is
to use small pieces of apple or sweet
potato poisoned with a few grains of
strychnine. Trapping is a slower but
surer method of eradicating gophers
The committee is ready to furnish
detailed information to any one or to
arrange special cooperation with
groups of persons planning to elimi-
nate tho pests from a considerable
area.

Newspapers From Germany State May
Day Strike Fizzled Out.

Copenhagen. May 5.-Fun newspa-
per and postal service from Germany
was resumed last night. This indi-
Gates that the necessity for especial
secrecy for military reasons or in view
of the labor situation has passed.
AS far as can be learned, from the
German newspapers which now have
been permitted to reach here, the re-
ports of the failure of the May day
strike movement in Germany in the
main, were correct. The papers indi-
cate, however, that strikes occurred
at some places. One report declares
that work in the war factories pro-
ceeded almost in generar's and that
strikes took place only in the indi-
viduaI smaller factories
The opposition papers admit that
the Socialists and union leaders with
the assistance Of Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg and General Groener had
the situation well in hand and kept
the workmen at their tasks. The rea-
sons for the embargo on newspapers
do not appear from a surface rea ding
and the papers do not contain any mil
itary information of an exceptional
character.

by the application of external lotions

Don't think that the suffering
ends with that caused by the irrita-

clogging of the system means com
plications, means fevers, means
sluggish circulation of the blood.
means poor digestion, means end
less colds and attendant dangers.
