The average soldier "oyer there

his shootin' finger for a stack Of pan-

makes the more interesting a letter
which Edwin s. Whitaker Of Irving

friend, concerning an experience he
and some other Of the boys Of Bat

They had been moving rapidly
trying to keep up with the retreating

a kitchen complete, with 4 quantity

best Of all, with . lot Of pancake

Houses with neither windows or
chimneys are being lived in by the
people Of the Scottish islands, tho
Hebrides. The peat fire is kept burn

the smoke, the savior of the house

out the rain, and thus almost neces-
states "box-beds;;" there is often
more than propinquity Of the cows
and their manure. The "black
houses" are, Of course, deplorable
and deteriorative; but that is not
their scientific description. The fact
is that, in point after point, these
"black houses" are like organisms
built up under difficult conditions,
meagerly perhaps, but with remark
able adaptiveness. The stones are
from the moor; timber is from the
sea; lime mortar is expensive; the
roof must be nodded every year and
therefore the. walls must be low;
moreover, the gales are high. AT
every point the house is adapted to
its fundamental purposes, and what
the doctrinaire student or the care

sayages, the product of laziness or
peryersity, turns out to be a product
OF long labor and sacrifice, funda-

TO DARKEN HAIR
APPLA SAGE TEA
Look Young! Bring Back Its
Natural Color, Gloss and
Attractiveness

Common garden sage brewed
into a heavy tea with sulphur adj
ded, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and
luxuriant. Just few applica-
tions will prove revelation if
your hair is fading, streaked or
gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and
Sulphur recipe at home, though,
is troublesome. An easier way is
to get a bottle Of Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound at any
drug store all ready for use. This
is the old time recipe improved
by the addition of other ingre-
dients. '
While wispy, gray, faded hair is
not sinful, we all desire to retain
our youthful appearance and at
Effectiveness. BY darkening your
hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound, no one can tell
because it does it SO naturally, so
evenly. You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, TAX
ing one small strand at a time; by
morning all gray hairs have dis
appeared, and, after another ap-
piication or two, your hair be-
comes beautifully dark, glossy,
soft and luxuriant.
This preparation is a delight
ful toilet requisite and is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation
or prevention Of disease.

cut out the infested stalks and burn
them. DO this before the boils turn

Suggestions on the Eradication OF
johnson Grass

johnson grass is apparently making
II start In Luna county. II has been
found In small spots on several farms
near Deming and to larger extent
! ON several farms near MieSse and Myn.
dus. While the spots infested are still
small is the time to get busy In Grad
icating this plant which has the poten-
tiality of doing incalculable damage to
the farming interests. Most states
have very stringent laws as to the con-
trol of this pest. And before the laws
were made this pest was the source
Of very many bitter neighbor contro-
versies. And some of the controver-
sizes have led not only to genuine old
fashioned ilst-lights but also TO the loss
Of life.
The New Mexico legislature has so
far been negligent in the passing OF a
bill To compel farmer to eradicate
this pest In order that his neighbor
might he protected. Perhaps the legis
lature has been Of the ounion that the
New Mexico farmer possesses such high
moral standard and brotherly Kindness
toward his neighbor that such a law
would he useless If passed. This ought
to be- the case If :t Is not. Every far.
mer ought to regard the interests and
welfare of his neighbQr as sacred as
that of his own and when he ceases TO
do this he ceases to he neigibor.
This preachment is particularly appll-
cable to the farmer allowing johnson
grass to grow on his farm.
Those who have asked the county
agents advice or this subject we wish
to quote from letter just received
from Prof Rupert l.. Stewart. agrono-
mist at the state college.
Mr.. Stewart says, although this
station has been conducting expert
ments along this line for number OF
years we have so far been unable TO
devise any satisfactory method of rid.
ding a field Of this pest. We have been
most successful, however, with what we
call clean cultivation. that Is planting
II cultivated crop such as corn or cot.
ton and cultivating il often. both be-
tween rows and in the rows themselves.
This, of course. usually increases the
cost of cultivation, but Il does rid the
field of Johnson grass TO certain ex-
tent. We have tried various chemi-
Gals such as sulphuric &cid, common
salt. Nitre cake and arsenate of soda
but have found that In most every in
stance where we have used any of
these chemicals of sufficient strength
to kill the Johnson grass roots we have
injured the soil. II one is willing TO
give up the use of the land for one sea
son he can rid his field Of johnson
grass by keeping the plants cut OF a
few inches below the ground. This Is
easily done by the use of sled which
has n sharp knife blade on the under
side We have tried to smother this
grass out 10y the use of various crops,

find that the hogs get away with a

Controlling Corn Smut

Several farmers who are planting
corn have asked for information on the
control Of corn smut. For the benefit
OF these and others who are planting
corn we wish TO quote the following
from Extension Circular No. 2s, New
Mexico college Of agriculture and me-
chanic arts.
'"rhe smut OF corn does not appear
to live through the winter ON or in the
seed, as In the case of the cerial or
grain sorghum smuts. The spores live
through the winter In the ground, on
the old stalks and ears. and in the ma
nure OF animals fed on the diseased
plants. The spores are blown by the
wind upon the corn plant and give us
the characteristic smut boils, which
we find upon the ear, or any other part
Of the corn plant infected. The boils
are white or gray at first. ard after
ward turn black and burst open. The
black dust which comes out Of the boils
at this time forms the spores or seeds"
Of the smut which infect other stalks
Of growing corn. Or II the growing
season has passed, the spores winter
In the field and infect the seed corn
planted next season.
There are several generations OF
this smut In single season. A smut
boil, which forms early i'm the summer
Will burst and send out millions OF
spores, which will affect other corn
grown in the same field. After the ears
begin to form spores get into the ears
and form large smut masses in
stead of the ears. II will thus he
seen that II all the smutted stalks were
cut out early in the season before they
scatter their spores, the infection Of
the ears could be prevented almost en-
tlrely. This is very important, because
II the smut gets started early and the
season Is favorable TO II. as much as q
third OF the corn crop may he destroy
ed by smut.
Deming graphic., 1919-05-13

that II this practice is followed for a
year or two one can rid the field en-
tirely Of this weed. believe that you
win find that the experience that we
have had here with Johnson grass Is
very similar to experience of other sta
tions have had where conditions are
at all similar to ours"
II you hoTe Johnson grass and wish
to get rid OF II the county agent will
be glad to confer with you at any

became manifest in the corn market today, chiefly owing to scarcity of supplies and to continued record breaking advances in the value of hogs. The corn market closed ner- vous IS to Is net higher with September 1.92 3-S to 192 5-S and December 1.61 5-8 to 1.61 7-S.
 Oats finished half to 7-S at 1c high CT and provisions varying from un- changed figures to 1 7-8c gain.
 Nearby deliveries of corn closed at the top prices of the day with Sep tember at the highest level yet this season. Throughout the session, July and September were especially sensitive to bullish influence, not withstanding heavy and persistent profit taking by longs, who question ed whether all uplifting factors had not been discounted now in full.
 Oats reflected the upward slant of corn values.
 Provisions were easier at first ow- ing to lack of buying orders, but lat CT rallied as result of the strength of grain and hogs.
