Fighting the.
Hum of the Field

Several patches of SOW thistles
have been located in the Hitterdal
neighborhood. On the old Tuigdahl
farm the fields Of grain are badly
mixed with thistles. County Weed
Agent Larson has arranged with the
owners to cut the grain as soon as
possible. The shocks will be capped
until the grain is stacked. 1t will be
threshed separate from other grain
and it is probable that the straw
will be burned. Next season Guilt
waited crops will be grown on all
the fields on this farm where the
thistles have secured a root hold.
In Kragues township Mr.. Larson
and Alfred Olson. chairman of the
town board, made a thorough in
spection and notified all farmers
whose fields are infested to
cut the thistles. Another in
spection will be made this
week and when the order to destroy
the pests has, not been complied
with they will be cut by the town
board at the expense Of the owner.
Mr.. Larson received reports from
Ulen township Of some badly in
Tested fields and went over yester-
day to investigate. Simon Classy,
who lives in the center OF the town
ship has been engaged as, a local
representative to see that the law is
enforced.

in cities and towns should at once
begin this important matter Of lay
ing in coal. Every ton Of Ignite re-
places eastern coal, which our gov
eminent needs sorely for manufac-
turing, for ships and for our allies,
part of whose coal Is in the hands
Of Germany, and many Of whose
coal miners are operating rifles on
the western and Italian fronts.
Every city and town should or
ganize for this purpose which is
just as important toward the win
ming Of the war as food saving and
war fund drives. The farmer must
haul his coal when hauling grain,
accordingly it is up to the city
dweller to get his coal now.
Get coal now or be cold later"
