SECOND BIRTH FOR JAPANESE

variety and interest to world civiliza-
ton. "Burying themselves to escape
death. and then being born again by
the simple process Of changing their
names. Baron and Baroness Ban held
full funeral services for themselves at
the Gyokurinsai temple In NagOya

tombstone over their nails. teeth and
hair. The baron now calls himself
Mr.. Kogogureno Otou.
"When Baron Ban was first born
he was far from healthy, and 40 years
was predicted as the extreme limit Of
his life. However, he recently cele-
brated his sixty-sixth birthday. which
brought to his mind that his father
had died at that age, and that he
could probably best avoid his fate at
an early denth by bowling to that date
and officially 'burying' as much Of
himself as possible without interfer-
Ing with any of the vital processes"

Gambling was frowned upon
throughout Europe during this Pc

to make much of an impression. 1t
is to be also noted that n prohibition

this theory is correct the weed-cOntrOl
problem overshadows all others with
which the farmer is confronted. Mod
ern agricultural science has discovered
much concerning the control and Grad
ication of these insidious land thieves.
The wild onion. for example, was con-
sldersd 4 hopeless problem from Mas
sachusetts to Georgia, and as far west
as Missouri and Arkansas until a weed
specialist in the Department of Agri-
culture discovered that the plant pro
laced two kinds Of bulbs One type
was soft-coated, and formed the new
the other was hard so that II WAS un-
harmed by winter, and ready to form
the new plants in the spring. With
this to guide them the specialists
proved that the wild onion can be con
trolled by plowing deeply in the late
fall to destroy the plants originating
from the soft-coated bulbs, and by.
planting an intertisied crop, such as
corn. the following spring to kill the
plants that come up from the hard
coated bulbs.
Weedy rOadsides are constant
sources of trouble for the adjoining
farm lands. The seeds are carried
miles by automobiles. horses, and pass
ing wagons, so that they become q
menace to the whole community. II

hle Sometimes roadside can be con-
verted into a lawn, or 1t can be used
for crops, to the pride and profit Of
the farmers whose land It borders.
Control Measures.
The underlying principles of weed
control are shown In these rules by
the specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture:
Use pure seed.
Rotate the farm crops.
Utilize pasturing animals, particu-
larly sheep and goats, in keeping
weeds down.
Never allow weeds to mature. Nov
before the seeds have ripened.
Use intertilled crops, and cultivate
often.
XIII weeds while they are young by
means of a harrow or q. weeder
Compost manure for two months be
fore using II II contains weed seeds
Practice surface cultivation after
the crops have been removed in the
fall.
Use smother crops buckw heat, soy
beams, cowpeus. velvet beans, clover,
etc
CIcmi'-'l nosoDs often are helpful.
Prepnie the seed beds thoroughly to
give the crop start over the weeds.
Use winter cover crops.
Hunt ont the scnttered weeds. and
kill them.
Nov dangerous grasses and burn
the dry cuttings
Small patches of perennial weeds
can be killed by covering for the en-
tire season with building paper, boards,
or other materials TO exclude the light.
Nil the roots Of perennial weeds by
keeping the tops Gu. down.
Grow alfalfa, when practicable. on
