WEED GROWTH MENACE
TO FARMERS CROPS.

Madison-Warning was issued by
the department of agriculture Friday
hat unless noxious weeds in the state
are curbed, they threaten to smother
the chief grain crops. Active work
on the part of weed commissioners
and farmers is called for to curb the
growth of the weeds.
Canada thistles, morning glory, and
quack grass are the most serious
growths. Dodder, a parasitic plant,
is killing clover in the cloverseed
producing sections, and spreading
the weed wherever the seed is ship
ped, the statement says.
"The whole state will soon be
weighed down with this milestone OF
oppression unless town chairmen and
weed commissioners enforce the laws
and unless the public stand behind
them,' the department says.
According to Wisconsin laws, the
weed commissioner must serve writ
Ten notices on the occupants or own
ers OF all noxious weed infested land
in his district. If the occupant or
owner fails to cut the weeds within
six days after receiving the notice, he
is subject to fine of SIS day there
after until the weeds are cut.

TWO THINGS NECESSARY
TO ERADICATE WEEDS

There are many weeds that we
have to control from year to year
There is a state law that provides
for weed officer in each township.
There are some that do not know
obnoxious weeds when they get into
their fields and others sometimes are
careless in letting them go to seed.
The two things that are very i'm
portant in controlling weeds. First,
never let them go to seed and second,
keep them cut under the surface as
much as possible, especially in the
latter part of July and the month of
August.
The methods mentioned above re-
fer to small patches that are showing
up in different parts of the field.
Large patches should be taken care
of in the spring of the year, but never
let them go to seed as that is unjust
to your neighbors and makes the pest
worse for yourself.

TWAS EVER THUS.
open COuntry.)
(By Maurice Hewlett J

10y MduIlC6 I16W16IL.J
1t is doubtless necessary that there
should be frequent crucifxions. 1t
seems to be the way Of the world.
A man 10 whom the truth is blazed
as clear as noon goes out into the
streets filled to the lips with his re-
vealation. Snug citizens avoid him,
put up their shutters, and lock their
doors; dogs bark at his heels; the RI
bald gather, one throws a stone.
Then comes the storm upon him,
in which he falls, battered, bleeding,
with glazed eyes, There's an end of
the bIasphemer who dares question
established order, who says that use
and wont are not sacred at all, but
hoary in iniquity.
Having slain him, they learn that
he was a god, and his revelation a
law of nature. Up goes a statue, and
his words are read as gospel. That's
how we get on in this quaint world,
climbing to the stars on the heaped
bodies of our heroes and sages. It's
no use quarreling with it..

REDUCE DOG FEES
IN BADGER STATE.

Madison, Wis.-The dog" bill at
last is through the legislature. 1t
reduces the fees from the present
rates of SIS and So to So and 81. The
existing dog law was passed two
years ago and its enforcement nearly
precipitated a rebellion in some To-
calities. All dogs had to be licensed
and the owners had to pay in the az
gregate more than one-half million
dollars for the privilege of having
them. The money raised was to be
used in reimbursing owner of sheep
for losses sustained because of dogs.

GOOD TINES AND BAD TIMES

The saddest thing about running
into debt and crawling out is that the
debtor must always pay so much more
lin terms of commodities and actual
values) than he originally gets. Debts
are contracted when everything is on
the top wave and everybody sanguine
and speculative; prices are high and
a dollar buys little in the markets..
When prices go down, when credit
contracts, when dollar buys great
deal, then debtors begin paying their
debts. A decade or so of hard work
and economy discharges the debts,
and before they realize it the erst-
while debtors find themselves getting
rich; money gets plenty, rising prices
of commodities make it easy to bor-
row dollars of low purchasing power,
everything blooms" and we're all off
on another financial debauch! Xxx
