MAKING QUACK INFESTED
FIELDS INTO PASTURE

Brookings, 5. D., May % The follow
ing suggestion for converting field
spotted with quack grass into pasture is
offered by Manley Champlin, associate
agronomist at State College
The field may be improved by plowing
early in June to a depth of about five
inches and then disking and working
the surface quite vigorously until about
the first of July, at which time it may
be sown to alfalfa at the rate of ten
pounds an acre or sweet clover at the
same rate or mixture of from five TO
ten pounds of bronze grass and ave or
six pounds OF sweet clover or alfalfa.
The plowing and working of the land
during June should put the field in first
rate shape for seeding the grass, and the
quack will come mp again and mix with
the alfalfa, bronze grass, sweet clover or
whatever has been sown. The field
shonld not be pastured the first season.
removed in the latter part OF the season.
The quack should not he permitted to
come up and grow too rank as it would
have tendency to smother the seeding
plants The following spring the field
should be ready to turn in sheep, hogs
or other stock. II the field contains
alfalfa and is TO be used for cattle, due
precaution should be taken to avoid
bloating Whenever it becomes desir-
able to turn the field back into crops
again, it should be pastured as closely as
possible for season, which will have
tendency to reduce the vitality of the
quack grass roots so that the eradication
process will be somewhat easier than if
the field had never been pas;uyed sheep
are exec llent for this purpose.

A CLOSING WORD
BEFORE THE DRIVE BEGINS,
Chairman.

BEFORE THE DRIVE BEGINS.
IL is not an easy task WHICH has been
| laid upon the various chairmen of the
| County to take the subscriptions for the
| Memorial Fund Nevertheless it is "a
work Of love and will confer an honor
upon all who helped in the building
| All will agree that Custer County must
| DO her part IN the subscription No one
| will wish 10 visit this building and see
! inscribed on the Tablet for Custer Coun-
| tv the names of the 200 lads who honor
| ed Ms in the great war, and by the side
| Of this Tablet another bearing in letters
| of gold the names to the npmber of ten
| or more who did not return to enjoy the
| glad acclaim of a victory greeting from
| loving friends, and in looking on this
| have the pride of our hearts tarnished
| by the thought that other counties in the
state made up the deficiency that we
lacked No Custer County will not let
this fund go neglected. If only the
Drive be understood and made clear to
| all the quota will be reached as Custer
has reached all other demands on her
patriotism.
Below will be found list of the Com
mitteemen who will lead in the home
community in taking the fund When
the subscription is completed the amounts
will be published in the papers. Now
when you read this do not wait to be
canvassed but call on the committeeman
and give him the amount you feel in
your heart is due the lads who gave all
for their country and you will honor
yourself and him and your community
in SO doing
As to the allotment for your neigh
borhood just count your population and
you have it. The basis for the total is
the number of people iB the state. This
does not mean one dollar from each man
and woman but all. Already the sub
scriptions are coming at $500 and up
and the Committee feel that we shall
make this last drive as We have the
others an over the top affair.
Let Us all do our part and do it the

Washington, May i9-rusks faced by
the 66Jh congress, meeting today IN eG-
traordinary session, threaten 10 match
the tremendous duties the war congress
faced. The war congress, in the case OF
most war constructions, had definite
things to do, and took the shortest cut
to the goal. The incoming congress,
however, has problems Of peace to solve
as momentous as those of war, but with
out the urge of making every day count
for victory, or the patriotic incentive to
unity which the war furnished.
Here are the chic tasks before the
new congress:
Adoption Of an army and a navy
program on peace basis, and approprI-
alton of the money ne ressary to carry
them into effect
solution Of the railroad puzzle by
legisIating for the future control of the
lines.
settlement of the amounts to be paid
the telephone and telegraph companies
for the use of their lines by the govern
ment during the emergency.
Decision as to the future of the mer-
chant marine
Legislation to aid business in getting
back from a war to a peace basis,
Legislation to enforce national prohi-
btiou.
Legislation demanded 10y labor
Legislation to curb bolshevism.
This list includes only these things
which congress cannot escape consider
ing. 1t does not include passage Of
many appropriation bills, which promise
to be fruitful of much wranging on the
question Of economy. Nor does it in
clude self imposed tasks of which there
are many.
Among the latter are revision of the
internal revenue and tariff laws; reyis-
ion of the court martial system; creation
Of budget system (Which, however
may be made an administration meas
ure and take its place in the category Of
inevitable tasks; investigation Of gov
ernment officials and agencies blamed
by republicans for war blunders; efforts
to amend the constitution or pass laws
20 prevent, in future, the granting of
broad blanket powers to the executive
department, either in peace or %ar time.
In addition there will be efforts to re-
peal practically all the war measures
passed by the last congress aud, accord
ing to indications, an unusual number
of "freak" reconstruction and readiust.
ment schemes, financial, social and
economic.
Add to this the fact that the senate
must consider and act on the peace
treaty and league of nations covenant,
and the further fact that intense polti-
| cal rivalry will be in evidence in both
houses from start to finish, and it will
be evident why Capitol hill observers
are predicting long hot session, ses-
sion which according TO some of them,
may last until the time for the national
conven tions rolls around in the summer
of 1920
