holdings, he says, should be large
enough to enable the settler to grow
sufficient cereals and potatoes for HIM
self and family and to keep one or two,
cows.
AS for the independent artisans in.
class three, it would be for the inter-
ests of every community to do it's ut
most to attract labor to the land in it's
immediate vicinity.
Under class four, which would be
providing for peasant holdings, the dis
trict authorities and the provincial set
Element companies would have it to
deal with. These settlers would be
those who could command ADEQUATE
agricultural knowledge, those who be-
fore the war were tenant farmers,
farm agents, or belonged to the more
efficient class of farm laborers.
Herr Utsch believes that during the
first period after the war it will be
necessary to proceed mainly with the
establishment Of Individual settlements
near existing villages, for the settlers
will find 1t easier to make living and
with the assistance of the communes.
buildings will be cheaper. 1t will not
be necessary to undertake road making
and drainage operations on large
scale. This character Of settlement.
he believes, would induce soldiers to
settle near their old homes, where, as
tney are known, assistance will be
more READILY given to them.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The problem of suppressing weeds
is q many-sided one and an important
part of the management Of the farm.
Successful crop management includes
successful weed management.
Larger Crops Mean Fewer Weeds.
Generally speaking, the larger the
crops, the fewer the weeds present.
This is especially true with small
grain and hay, since good stands Of
these crops will tend to smother out
weeds. Furthermore, pastures that
are given good care by top-dressings
and by not over-grazing always con.
tain fewer weeds and more grass than
those poorly managed.
Special Methods Of Handling Certain
Weeds
The farmer should know the kind of
weeds which he has to fight, because
in the case Of some Of them special
methods have been discovered which
greatly reduce the amount Of work
necessary. The United States depart
ment Of agriculture has issued bull
letins treating individually a number
of the worst weeds and these publica-
lions may be obtained on request.
Rotations and Weeds.
An important benefit from practic-
ing rotation is in the control Of
weeds. II land is planted to the same
crop year after year, certain weeds
have ample opportunity to make top
growth and mature their seeds, and
these weeds therefore become firmly
Established; but If the land is planted
So III Succession these
weeds do not have the pportunity to
make nearly as much Roadway. Fur
thermore, adopting rotation usually
means the growth Of grass, clover, or
other forage crops. These crops not
only discourage many kinds of weeds
by their shading effect, but also give

portions. On all the treated plots, the
spraying was done with traction
sprayer which maintained good
working pressure of at least $50 pounds
per square inch.
Adjoining one Of the experimental
blocks was field where spraying was
begun earlier and eight or nine appli-
cations were made. It was planted
with the same lot Of the same variety
of seed, fortified the same. and, ex-
cept for spraying, received similar
treatment in every respect. The yield
on the portion of this field Immediate
~ adjoining one Of the unsprayed
check plots was 1913 bushels per acre.
Comparing this with the averages Of
the unsprayed check plots mentioned
above, shows q gain Of 1898 and SO
bushels per acre, respectively, or over
SO and 50 per cent. In none Of the
above figures is any account made Of
the extra loss resulting from tuber
rot in storage in the crop produced
on the unsprayed plots.
Nineteen hundred and seventeen
was one Of the worst blight years in
the history Of Aroostook potato grow
ing. The results cited above show
conclusively that, even under the con-
ditions that existed, late blight can be
controlled by grower who sets out
to do the job thoroughly. Moreover.
they indicate that it can be done at a
fair profit when the cost is considered
in connection with the value Of the
increased yield resulting from the
treatment.
These recommendation apply par
ticularly to the potato sections lying
north Of line drawn from New York
to Chicago.

weeds poor chance to mature seeds,
as they are cut for hay before most
weeds ripen. Again, adopting rota-
ton often means growing cultivated
crops on land where such crops have
not been raised. The value of culti-
waited crops in cleaning land of weeds
has already been emphasized.
Demonstrations Of the value Of q
rotation in controlling weeds are avail
able in many localities. For example.
in western Kansas wheat is usually
grown continuously, and when this is
the case weeds are very troublesome;
but when rotation, including cul-
tivated crop and forage crop, is
adopted, the weeds that are so COM
mon under continuous wheat growing
do not have so much chance to make
growth and to mature their seeds.
Hence, weeds become very much re-
duced. Another example is furnished
in parts of eastern New York, where
it is customary to keep land in mead
ow for many years. These meadows
become foul with orange hawkweed,
ox-eye daisy, wild carrot, and other
weeds. Introducing cultivated crop
and a grain crop soon disposes of most
Of these weeds.
Cooperation in Controlling Weeds.
Probably no feature Of weed control
is more important than cooperation
among those concerned. Weed con-
troll is a community problem rather
than one for the individual farmer to
solve, and without the cooperation Of
his neighbors the results Of the In
IRE
less discouraging, because where
weeds are allowed to grow sundiss
turbed they produce sufficient seeds
to infest the adjacent lands. The nee
essary cooperation might be arranged
through agricultural clubs and other
farm organizations.

British Cabinet Already Has Plan
Of Work for Soldiers
After War,
GERMANY ALSO PREPARING
Colonization on Farms, Carefully
Worked Out by an Expert, Liable
to Be Upset by Revolt Of
the ProIetariat.

London.-The British government is
now at work considering how the great
task Of demobilizing the army and the
resettlement Of the soldiers into civil
occupations at the conclusion Of the
war is to be accomplished. The plan
drawn up by the minister Of labor Is
receiving careful attention, and it is
understood considerable progress has
been made.
Germany also is giving this subject
her attention and the series of articles
by Herr Utsch in the Deutsche Land
wirtschaftlich Presse considers the
proposed settlement on the land Of SOL
diers returning from the war.
Herr Utsch begins by pointing out
that 1t is a national duty to provide the
disabled or injured soldier not only
with an adequate pension but with suit
able employment which will enable him
to support himself and his family in
sufficient comfort. In providing such
employment, he says, due regard must
be paid to the wishes and the capacity,
Of the individual, and no better means
for effecting this can be found than
home colonization, for in no other do
main are the possibilities SO great,
since vast tracts Of waste land still ex-
list in Germany waiting to be opened
up and the returning soldier cherishes
no dearer wish than to have home Of
his own.
Sees Added Wealth.
At the same time, says Herr Utsch,
the interests Of the country will be
served, since every fresh small colony
increases the national wealth and
makes 1t more independent Of foreign
countries in the production of food. He
sees further advantage in attracting
labor to rural districts.
| The writer divides the nature Of the
employment Of the settlers as follows
| Settlements for men employed in in
dustries or factories.
Holdings for agricultural laborers.
Holdings for independent artisans.
Small holdings with land attached
! up to 60 acres or more.
Considering the first class named
