Fight This Plague

Ii your lawn is yellow rather than
green, don't let the dandelions make
you blue. There is an easy method of
killing them recommended by w. l..
Oswald, head of the seed-testing labor
atory at University Farm, st. Paul
This is by spraying with a solution
of sulphate of iron.
Heavy growths of dandelion may be
killed by spraying from a nozzle that
given amist-like spray with a solution
of l IL pounds of sulphate of iron
to gallon of water. An ordinary
garden sprinkler does not give good
results. The solution should be spray
ed over the lawn about three days af-
ter the grass has been cut and on a
bright day when the possibilities of
rain are slight. The lawn must not be
cut or Watered for three days or mo-.
after the application. -
The lawns may be sprayed once
month during the entire summer,
starting at the time the dandelions
appear With proper care the spray
will not injure the grass. Care should
be taken in applying the solution to
keep it off concrete walks, as it per-
manently discolors them. Stains in
clothing made by the sulphate of iron
are not removable.
If there are only few dandelions
on the lawn, Mr. Oswald says, they
may be removed by cutting them off
just below the surface of the ground
with a knife. Gasoline or kerosene
applied to the crown of the individual
plant will kill it.
Permanent relief from dandelions
and other weeds can be secured only
by getting thick vigorous growth of
grass. This is secured by using plen-
ty of fertilizer and grass seed.

PROMINENT MEN
COME OUT FOR TANLAC
Former Mayor
Recommends II
HON. FRANK v. EVANS, OF BIR-
MINGHAM, ALA, MAKES
STRONG STATEMENT

One of the latest additions to the
large and rapidly growing list of pro-
minent men who have publicly indors-
ed Tanlac for the good it has done
them, is the name of Hon. Frank v.
Evans, former Mayor of Birmingham.
Mr.. Evans is one of the best known
men in public life in Alabama today,
being at one time editor of one of the
South's greatest newspapers, the Bir-
mingham Age-Herald. He was also ex-
aminer of public accounts of Ala
bama. In telling of the benefits he
had derived from Tanlac, Mr.. Evans
said:
"For years | suffered with gastritis
and indigestion in the worst form.
was habitually constipated and had
pains in my shoulders and headache
continually My appetite left me al
most entirely and everything would
eat hurt me. Finally got to having
awful attacks of acute Indigestion,
palpitation of the heart and smother
ing spells. For long time would
have one or more of these spells every
night and I would wake out of my
restless slepp gasping for breath.
II bought bottle of Tanlac and
to my surprise and qualification / be-
gan to feel relief after the first few
doses. | kept taking the medicine
and now my recovery is simply the
talk of Birmingham.

porticos, barring furthering entrance,

fOrnians have beautiful habit OF
climbing the mountains on Easter
Sunday to worship God at sunrise,
| Crosses are erected and draped with
! flowers. On one mountain 15,OOO per-
I sons gathered. Between three and SIX
am the hour appointed for the ser
vice 486 motor cars passed up I'M
loaded and descended for the second
ascent when the praise and prayer ser
vice had closed. Thousands preferred
to take the pilgrimage on foot. and
ltoiled up the trails by moonlight,
guarded by ninety soldiers and eighty
Boy Scouts. Some twenty mountains
were visited thus.
We live midway between Los An
| geles and Long Beach. East OF US IS
| the boulevard running between the
| two cities and bordered with palm
trees and roses for the whole twenty
miles. Autos dart to and fro all day
and night. Close by runs the Southern
Pacific r. r. with trains so long one
cannot count the cars. A boulevard
I is made close by us connecting Los
Angeles and San Pedro and two or
three rods west In the electric road
with cars passing every few minutes.
Each morning they carry thousands OF
men from Los Angeles to the ship
building yards at San Pedro, return
ing them to their homes at the close
of their eight hours work. Also we
are exactly under the air route. Planes
soar over us very often; sometimes
mere specks in the sky, other days SO
low they just clear the house and
telephone wires causing great COM
motion among the chickens who likely
think they are giant hawks bent on
their destruction. This week an air
passenger service started travelling
seventy miles on hour, charge $1.O0 a
mile. $1,000 to ascend mile or two
in the sky, and $1,000 for an aerial
flip flop.
Soil here differs much both in quail
ity and color, ranging from jet black
adobe, to white alkaki. Some is rich
some poor, some medium. Here, 1T

thence and perseverance, for they go
oyer and over the land with harrows
and rolls before planting, until the
fields are smooth as table, the soil,
fine as dust. When the crops (main-
ly sugar beets) have come up, they
go over, and over again with heavy
rolls until | think that the beets will
be crushed to death. Instead they
grow strong and the moisture from
the winter rains is conserved. Soon
they will commence irrigating.

less than usual on account of the poor
transportation last season. An ac-

GIRLS BAKE BREAD

She is fourteen years of age.
The second place in the individual
contest was won by Edna Joern Of
Redwood Falls who has also an excel
lent record.
Keen interest was shown by the
outside schools Of the county IN the
Saturday contest. Superintendent
Knox Of Lamberton brough. his repre-
sentative here with their teacher, Miss
Sweeney, and several of the members
Of the Lamberton faculty were inter-
ested observers of the work. Mrs.
Emma Sandager, Clerk of the Belview
school board and Anton Kramer OF
the Lucan school board, also brought
classes of girls who were interested
in watching the work although they
could not take part. The Domestic
Science teacher of Granite Falls and
three other members of the Granite
Falls faculty, who were weekend
guests at the H. G. Werder home,
were also keenly interested in the de-
monstration.
The Glass B contests and demon
ktrations were also given last week,
being placed in various schools OF the
county in order to make it possible for
the mothers to attend the meetings.
These girls are the girls who have not
had, al any time, the advantage OF a
trained domestic science teacher and
their work is all the more commenda-
BILE for that reason A contest was
held at Wabasso Tuesday, at Redwood
Wednesday, at Lucan Thursday and
at Belview Friday. Mrs. Pratt was in
charge of all of these contests as she
was of the Saturday contest held here.
Nora Knutson of Swedes Forest town
ship was the winner in the Class B.
contest. Nora has record of IS loav-
es of bread, and dozen quick breads.
The winner-of second place in the class
B contest was Floy Harris of Vesta.

Of jars do not make an attractive ex-
hibit. Distinguish between preserv-
es, jams, buffers, and marmalades.
Preserves are of whole fruit or pieces
of fruit which retain the original
shape in a clear syrup. A conserve is
a preserve made of mixed fruits. Jams
are made usually from small fruits,
cooked until they cannot be distin-
guished from the syrup. Buffers have
neither skins nor seeds. Marmalades
are made from the acid fruit, usually
lemons, oranges and grape fruit, cook
ed until somewhat clear, with a clear,

INSECT HELPERS
OF THE FARMERS

Under the title "The Hymenoptera
of Minnesota" F. L. Washburn, III
the seventeenth report of the state
entomoIogist, A. G. Ruggles, describ-
es those insects of Minnesota which
serve farmers well by preying upon
parasites and by aiding in the pollina-
ton and crossfertilization of plants.
Mr.. Washburn's article is profusely IL
iustrated, in part with color plates.
Incidentally, i is asserted that the
Minnesota collection of these insects is
one of the best in the country outside
of some of the larger eastern collec-
tions and that of the federal bureau
of entomology.

COXEY RE-APPEARS

Old General Coxey of populist days
is again in the spot light. Back in
the early nineties he headed an army
of unemployed laborers who marched
to Washington and camped on the
lawn of the White House. Since then
Coxey has become wealthy but he has
apparently lost none of his craving
for notoriety. He proposes leading
another army to Washington if the
coming session of Congress does not
submit to the States constitutional
amendment providing for the initia-
tive and referendum.

WOMEN ARE URGED TO
PLAN FAIR EXHIBITS

A call to the women of the state to
make plans for exhibits at county fairs
is being made by Miss L. Cordiner,
of the home demonstration staff, agri-
cultural extension division, University
of Minnesota. Miss Cordiner says:
The woman's department of the coun-

mems work can be measured and their
