HOW QUACK GRASS WAS
KILLED ON FARM IN IOWA
TAKES EXCEPTION TO
QUACK GRASS ARTICLES

Max Suffer takes exception to our
Guack grass article in last weeks
News-Budget in the part where we adj
vOcated sowing smother crops of. sOr
ghum, kaffir corn, or millet, and says
that quack grass cannot be smOthered
that way.
We asked him what gave him that
idea and he told us that last summer
after he harvested his early peas, he
plOwed the land that was full of quaCk
grass and worked it down and sOwed
to millet.
The Quack grass came up first and
he decided that it would take the field
again, so he plowed it under again and
put the spring tooth harrow to work,
and every few days he would give the
land thorough spring-tOothing. He
did the work thoroughly and kept at
it until cold weather, whether it need
ed it or not. and completely killed the
quack out The roots were all dragged
TO the surface where theys were left
fers to spring tooth the land to diskine
and he says that discs are generally
| dull and he believes that roots that are
under the ground will lay there until
| they have a chance to grow.
: In comment we will say that Mr.
| Suffers method is the surest for the
| average farmer to follow. In Iowa
| they have spring tooth harrOws, an(
sell them as quack grass destrOyers
| They are killing big patches or fields
of quack by the same method that Mr.
| Suffer used.
| However, we know of plenty oil
| cases where land has been sOwed tC
| smother crops after thorough work
| ing, with the result of killing the quack
| by smothering it ont. A disc must be
sharp and must be used before the
leaves show above the surface to be
effective in killing the roots.
Roots of quack will die in the
ground in a short time if they are kept
there. Where the quack puts up its
| fight is in the life it gets from the
leaves above ground. We are glad 70
get real dirt farmers opinions on any
subject that is of general interest to
the public.

Is YEARS IN RUSK co.
AND NO CROP FAILURE

f. Fl. Scott. of the town of hurry
was in the city on business Monday.
Mr. Scott has been living on his farm
in hurry for fifteen years and says he
never has had crop failure in that
time. His farm is what is known as
hardwood soil and a fine thing about
it is that it doesn't have to be tanned
before it will produce good crop. He
said the first crop on this soil is as
good as any later crop, SO far as soil
conditions are concerned. He said
crops in his neighborhood were good.
He resided for many years in Ne
braska befor ecOming to Wisconsin. In
that state. while he lived there, full
crop was never harvested, in the part
of the state he lived in, on account of
drOughty conditions during some part
OF. the growing season.

rain badly. Mr.. Stranger says he had
50 tons of hay on 40 acres of land last

WISCONSIN NEEDS RAIN

Excessive hot weather has injured
all crops except corn and potatoes in
the southern part of the state and
through much of the northern terri
tory.
Hay and pastures are drying up and
the condition is the worst in eastern
and southern counties.
Ehe yield of early peas there is
greatly reduced and the harvest is
nearly done.
Late peas are ripening too quickly
and unless they get rain they will he
a poor crop. Rusk county, as usual
is green except for portions where the
soil is sandy. We need rain here
badly for all crops.

RECORDS OF VACANT LOTS
SALES SHOW DAILY GAINS
Hundreds Of New Homes Will Be Springng Up In All
Parts Of the City in
Short Time

Increasing quite rapidly as shown
by the daily transfers of real estate,
are the number of vacant lots that
are being purchased for homes and
for business sites.
Some years ago 1t was stated by a
real estate man who claimed to have
looked up the figures on the subject,
than any national capital city in tho
world except London: this statement
was made in connection with a state
meht of fact as to the proportion of
Puehlo's area which was composed of
vacant lots. AT that same discussion
as TO so much of the city's area being
health benefits the city has always de-
rived from its suncongested condition.
But the time will be short until new
homes will be springinE up In every
section of Pueblo. and the general ap-
pearance of the city as well as its evil
dences OF prosperity win be so ap-
parent as to attract new residents
from every section OF the country;
