getting rid of bindweed, or wild morn
ingglory.
Where it is feasible to confine sheep,
goats or hogs to very restricted areas
for one or more seasons, they will in
most cases completely kill perennial
weeds. Where it is not practicable
to Craze sufficiently close to entirely
destroy perennials, the grazing still
greatly weakens the root system of
these plants, making 1t an easy task
to complete the destruction by cult
walton.
Smother Crops.-Thick stands and
vigorous growths of smother crops
may be depended on to keep down the
top growth of perennials. The most
commonly used smother crops are al
falfa, buckwheat, soy beans, millet,
sorghum and bur clover. Some weeds
are more susceptible to this treatment
than others. Bermuda grass may be
eradicated by continuous succession
of smother crops. Alfalfa, where 1t
succeeds well, is the most effective
smother crop. largely because it COM
bines frequent clipping with the
smothering effect. 1t may be relied
upon to reduce greatly or even to Grad
icate entirely most perennials except
some of the grassy weeds. In the case
of smother crops, as with pasturing,
the principal value is to weaken the
root systems of perennials, which IA
,;1s 49, -
is to follow.
Moving or cutting.-Cutting off re-
peatedly the tops of perennial weeds
with a mower, scythe or other tool
may sometimes be used to advantage.
This is of most use on pastures, road
sides and other uncultivated places 1t
has been found that moving twice a
year for two years will eradicate the
fern brake one of the bad weeds of
pastures in New England and New
York.
Smothering With Building Paper and
Other Observation-Disclosures perennial
weeds occupy very limited areas it is
often practicable to prevent further
spread by covering the infested area
with building paper, taking care to lap
over and weight down the ends so as
to exclude all sunlight Building pa
per suitable for this use normally may
be obtained at from 1925 to 81 per
thousand square feet, or $97 to $172
per acre, depending on its thickness.
Manure, straw and other materials
are also employed for this purpose.

WOOL DEMAND is INCREASING
About so Per Cent Of Amount
Used by Mills

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
War has given the sheep and wool
industry stupendous task. The wool
produced in this country furnishes only
about so per cent of the amount used
here by wooden mills in peace times !;
the war has increased the demand for
wool, and of course accentuates our de-
pendence upon supplies from foreign
countries. The war has further in
creased the perplexity of the domestic
situation by making unavailable GER
tain supplies which exist in other parts
of the world. To equip 100000 SOL
diers and clothe them for one year
would require the entire quantity Of
wool grown annually In this country,
even if it were all suitable for military
use.

Just how few pairs of shoes can we
get along with this summer? That's
the question that women are called
that wartime economy calls for re-
trenchment on all sides Secretary
McAdoo says he has his shoes half
soled when they need it-and appears
to be proud of it. recommending this
course to every one else. Leaving out
house slippers and evening slippers
that need not come In the reckoning at
all, three pairs of good shoes will see
one through. This will seem an i'm
possibly slim allowance to the woman
who usually buys from six to twelve
pairs, but three pairs will answer.
There is no economy in having only
one pair of street shoes because they
wear much longer and look much bet
ter when two pairs are worn alter
nately. Shoe trees keep them In good
shape when they are not In use and
are as necessary to shoes as hangers
are to coats and frocks.
A wartime summer outfit In shoes
might follow the suggestion In the
group of three pairs shown In the pic
ture. These do not include shoes
made solely for sportswear. which can
be considered beside the question Of
shoes that are indispensable. All the
shoes pictured are in the best mate
rails and workmanship, which are
matters of real economy In footwear
They include pair Of substantial
black kid street shoes, a pair of smart
white canvas oxfords and kid pumps
for dress.
The high boots for street wear have
sensible Cuban heels and moderately
heavy soles. Perforations along all
the seams and at each side of the fac

some finish and they. look altogether
dependable and smart-just as women
themselves aspire to look In these
times. White canvas oxfords for wear
with summer street suits and frocks
are very plain and may be had with
either Cuban or French heels. They
are easily kept clean and are very
durable. Where street shoes will
strike the wrong note and something
more dressy is needed. kid pumps,
similar to those shown in the picture,
will fill all requirements. They are of
black kid with gray panels, but there
is great variety of pumps in all-blaclS
and black with colored panels to
choose from.

4 LETTER FROM JEWEL WICK
 TOM. 1. MOORE FROM
 SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE.
Somewt.ere in France,
 November 21, 1917.

My Dear Friend,
 received my first mail from the States today. It has been over a mouth and a half since 1 had heard from home. It was not because they had forgotten me, but l was on my way over, across. ect. 1 only received seventeen letters and the last one bears the postmark of Oct ober 23. and that was month ago. nevertheless they were very + teresting when they did get here. 1 am now somewhere in France, and have been assigned to a fine camp. We are in wood en barracks, and they are equipp- ed with steel beds. mattresses, pillows, ect., including five wool en blankets, so you know we rest we'll at night. We have good food, considering our be- ing in the army. The following Is our menu or mess for today:
 Break fast Oatmeal with milk bread with syrup; coffee with milk and sugar.
 Dinner-Roast beef with po- tatoes; bread with syrup; coffee with milk and sugar.
 Supper-Pork and beans; bread with syrup; cocoa with milk and sugar; prunes.
 And received all we wanted of all items. So you see we are well satisfied with our meals.
 You hear great deal of France, but there is only ole thing that France is ahead of the States, and that is six hours of time. 1 was really surprised when passed through the coun- try. The railroads are not as good as the Prescott and North western. The cars are not over eighteen feet long, and in that case you know that only a few troops can get in car, and they travel very slow. There are no modern buildings everything iS old and quaint. The fruits and plants are the same as in Ark ansas, and the towns in Arkan- sas are as far ahead of the cities in France as Chicago IS ahead of Prescott.
 Although we are not part of the honored army Of the U $. 4. but We were the last to volun- teer to go to war for liberty and justice, after we had been draft. ed (aD but were not in first call. And besides that, we have made the greatest gain in history. In three months we have advanced oyer seven thousand miles to- ward our enemy's lines without the loss of one man. If We keep going we will have the Kaiser and be back in the dear old U. $. A. 1 think the Kaiser is begin hing to think that there Is only one flag who can call his hand. and that is the Red. White and Blue" 1 will have to close for this time as it is almost taps.
 Hope this finds you and your family we'll and happy. l would be glad to hear from you again
 Give my best regards to all, and tell the stenographer who copied the last letter. 1 would be glad to hear from her also.
