tached to the 18th French Division
throughout the whole of his seven
teen months in France, taking part
in the great battles of the SOmme,
the Aisne, and finally in Belgium in
the last six weeks of the war. He
brings home with him many inter-
esting mementoes, the most priced
being of course the "Croix de
Gucrrc" awarded him by the
French. Brother Johnston many
justly feel proud of his son.

front in France and has since been
under the care of surgeons, first in
France and for some months past
at Camp Lee, Va, was recently

Portable during the hot weather.
Tho he has undergone several OPP
erations, has suffered much and is
much reduced in weight, he has
borne his sufferings like man,
with patience and without COM

full that, in the end, he will be able
to use his injured leg.

SPECIAL ATTENTION SHOULD Be GIVEN
TO WEEDS,

Weeds are classified and treated
according to their habit of growth.
If they require one year to complete
their LIES production they are
known as ANNALS, two years bien-
malls, and several years as peren-
mails. Ragweeds, foXtail, corn
cookie and cheat are examples of
the ANIMALS, which spread by seed
dispersion only, and are best killed
by early cultivation or by cutting
when in blossom. Bull thistle, bur-
dock, mullen and wild parsnip are
biennials developing an extensive
root system the first year and pro-
ducing seed the second. They are
eradicated by cutting off below the
crown the first year or by cutting
off before Towering the second
year, Perennials are those plants
which live periods of years propo-
eating themselves by seeds, roots
or by both seeds and roots. Those
that spread by seed include the
dandelion, docks, polk and plan
tainS, others that spread by both
means are Johnson grass, quack
grass, milk weed, sheep-sorrel and
bronze sedge. 1t is this group of
weeds that causes us greatest worry
in our pastures and meadows. Gull
tivation and rotation of fields and
crops are the most efficient methods
of eradication. The weeds can not
adapt themselves to the extremes
of cultivation and smothering by
heavy hay crops.
We have certain weeds which re-
quire special treatment and special
care that they do not become a
plague in their destructiveness,
They are apt TO be unheeded and
unrecognized until they are fully
established in the soil. Your at
tention is especially culled TO the
following:
Quack grass, of the wheat family
resembling wheat in early growth
and in the seeding head that is pro-
.duced, but differing in that it grows
ten to twelve inches high from an
underground running root stalk. 1t
is best combatted by gathering and
burning the roots as turned up in
spring cultivation and by continual
~ cutting back to prevent seed dis
persion.
Orange or tawney hawk-wced
found in pastures, fields, wood
lands, and along road sides. 1t
bears a cluster of four to eight small
flowers which resemble the dande-
lion. The Towering stem is rather
stout, stands seven TO sixteen inches
high and is covered with short
brown hairs, The leaves are COW
cred with grayish hairs and are
massed to the bottom of the plant.
The weed spreads both by fluffy
wind-carried seed and by under
ground stem. 1t is combatted by
cutting off The flowers and by cul-
tivating to kill. Salt is used TO good
advantage in pasture lands.
Other weeds that may be classed
as among the most destructive re-
curing strenuous effort i'm grub
'bing out and cutting back are:
stick weed, narrow leaf plantain,
corn cookie, bind weed or knot
vine, Queen AIMS lace and sweet
clover.
