Fall Rive Controls Sow Thistles.

When we are afflicted with agrOW-
ing i'll we naturally grasp at sug-
gested remedy. The Perennial Sow
Thistle is a most serious growing ill.
In twenty years of free distribution"
in this Northwest it has become
thoroughly established in all Red
River Valley Counties and can be
found in every other county in Min
nesota, western Wisconsin, northern
Iowa and eastern South Dakota. In
certain localities this weed has inter-
fered with crop production to such
an extent that farmers have actually
sold out at loss and moved to other
localities, only to find that in few
years it is following close, ION their
heels"
So serious has become the Sow
thistle, Canada thistle and other nox-
ious weed pests, that Minnesota pas
sed noxious weed law-Chapter 500
General Laws of 1921, for the begin
ming of their control. Thus far, only
a beginning has been made. Over
100 local weed inspectors have been
appointed and are working, princi-
pally in the northwestern part of the
state.
A few facts have been established
that point to control. Two, at this
time, are worthy of mention and re-
commentator to the farmers as
partial relief. These are the seeding
down to grasses, clover and alfalfa
and the planting of fall rye. Fall
rye ripens early and is cut before the
weeds get far enough advanced to
produce seed. It starts early in the
spring and is on it's way before the
thistles get started. 1t is the. one
grain crop that can cope with the
thistles and at the same time give a
return for labor incurred.
The Minnesota No. Rye first, the
Rosen Rye and Wisconsin Pedigreed
Rye second are the best varieties to
use. But even we'll graded common
rye is better than wheat, oats or bar
ley on thistle infested land.

CORN NOT CHEAPER
THAN COAL FOR FUEL
Iowa State College Men So Declare
After Having Made
Investigation.

A recent dispatch from Ames, Iowa
says that suggestions that corn may
be used as a fuel in Iowa this winter,
due to it's low price, have again brot
up the question, lis corn cheap
fuel?"
Iowa State callege Investigators be-
lieve it is not.
They say coal will have to go much
higher or corn become almost value
less before it will pay to have the
latter They base their belief on ex-
perimental work carried on by the
engineering experiment station in
which corn was analysed in compari-
son with coal for heating qualities.
The engineering experiment sta
ton in it's laboratories found that
Iowa coal which generally sells a.
round SO per ton would have to sell
at $40 per ton before it would begin
to pay to burn corn worth At cents
for a 75-pound bushel. They also
found that corn is a poor burner, act
ing like green cordwood and requir-
ing a lot of attentin in firing.

,hange in Minnesota Weed Law

Change in Minnesota Weed Law.
There are certain points in the
Minnesota Weed Law which all
should note, especially members OF
township boards and city commits
sioners.
First. It is the duty of the town
ship to cut all weeds in the road,
whether it be state road or other
road. The township must hire these
weeds cut when ever necessary to
keep them from seeding.
Second. The village or city au-
thorities must see to it that all weeds
growing in the streets are cut within
the limits of their city or village.
Third. 1t is the duty of all land
owners, whether in town or country,
whether they are individuals or cor
porations, to cut all weeds growing
on the land which is under their
charge as often as is necessary to pre-
vent their seeding.
Let's all get the weeds cut and pre-
vent the necessity of enforcing the
law.
