ROADSIDE WEEDS

weed is a plant out Of place. Anything grow
ing by the roadside which does not belong there is
a weed. Miles of our roadsidesN are lined with veg
citation, most Of which has no place in a well-ordered
community, and none of which belongs on the road
side. Our soil produces weeds as luxuriantly as it
produces anything else, and as a demonstration Of
fertility these roads are superb.
A drive of a few miles through the country in
any direction will take one along stretches -. road
where the narrow roadway is lined on both sides
with weeds from four to six feet tall. Some of these
weeds have already gone to seed, and others will
have seeded themselves in a short time. The seed
will blow or be washed over the adjoining fields,
and the plants will reproduce themselves where the
farmer is trying to raise grain.
Millions of dollars.are lost to the farmers of the
Red River Valley annually because of the presence
OF weeds. There are fields-many Of them-which
have been practically abandoned to sow thistle. In
some of these the growth has been cut for hay; in
others it has been cut that it may dry and be burned
on still others it stands neglected, the contest hav-
ing APPARENTLY been abandoned. Farmers who have
not yet given up the fight are summer following.
While sections which might have produced good
crops Of grain have been kept black all summer in
the effort to eradicate the weeds, a task entailing
enormous expense and loss Of revenue. Yet quite
often where this work is going on the foadsides are
permitted to mature and shed their seeds without
interference. The rich loan, freshly cultivated, pro-
vides an ideal bed for the new weed seed, and 4 large
part Of the seasons labor is wasted.
Good roads are impossible where weeds are
permitted along the rightsofF way. Snow is caught
il the winter, forming great drives and making the
roads impossible, and for weeks in the spring after
the roads should 81 ssfnootil and hard, MANY of them
are muddy trenches, Even III the summer these
Weedy growths impair the roads seriously, for they
prevent the action of san and Wind, So essential to
quick drying after =. rain. Good farming-and good
road maintenance alike demand that the roadsides
Be kept free from weeds, In actual and imrnediate
results The labor IS one Of the most productive that
cansbe performed.

EXPLAINS REASONS
FOR HIGH RECORDS
Ban johnson Tells Why Batting Was
Sensational Last Season.

CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-Ban Johnson,
American league president, today ex-
planned the reason for the Jack rab-
Bit baseball Of the 1921 season which
tipped from the bat with such STAR
thing speed The lively bali, which
some players say was responsible for
some of the sensational batting last
summer, had been attributed by a por-
ton of the fans to some sort of inside
baseball intrigue.
The real cause, said Johnson, was
simply that manufacturers We're again
able to secure good YEA for the
spheres. When the war ESsde it inn
possible to use the better yarn, d
cheaper grade was substituted. he ex-
planned, and wrapped more tightly than
had been the custnSS. When better
yarn was again available, the manu-
facturers failed at first to go back to
the old method of winding.
Other causes, he added, were that
the rubber covering of the cork core
was sometimes uneven in thickness so
that when the batter connected where
there was a good depth of rubber the
ball streaked away in sensational fash
ion.

| fleet. but in the past the navy has de-
clared that the cooperation here had
not been what it should be. Mr.. Mac
Donell said that. Pensacola wanted to
show to the navy that this is a well
governed city, and to remove the
stigma cast on Pensacola's good name
and in order to do this It was OF the
utmost Importance that all should
unite and work together to make Pen
sacola the clean city morally that it
should be.
j. H. Sheriff., representing the Ro-
tary club, spoke OF the years before the
war when it was no unusual thing for
the fleet to use these waters as their
winter training ground, and reminded
those present that it was because Of
lack Of cooperation that the fleet left
Pensacola, on at least one occasion.
Mr.. Sheriff. said that through his
work with the Y NJ. G. A that he had
come in very close contact with the
men of the fleet, at other times when
they were here, and he believed :
Pensacola would cooperate with the
navy the presence of the men would
be an advantage in many ways, and
that the stigma which has never been
removed from the name Of the city
might be removed for all time.
+. w Marsh. president Of the XII
wants club, called attention to the
fact that probably at least eight thou
| sand men would be with the fleet,
with a payroll of possibly fifty thou
sand dollars a day, and that the har-
lpies and underworld forces which
would menace the city in order to
prey ON these men. should be put on
notice, and all possible publicity given
to the fact that if the fleet comes to
Pensacola, the citizens and public Of
ficers stand solidly with the govern
ment in putting down bootlegging and
Kindred immoralities.
Morris Levy, speaking for the Pen
sacola Community Service, said 9hat
the association has about paid up all
Indebtedness and in the event that the
| fleet comes to Pensacola the Com
munity Service stands ready to prof
| fer its aid in every possible way.

bership committee of the Chamber q
