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 erad-
ication of these insidious land thieves.
The wild onion, for example, was con-
sidered a hopeless problem from Mus.
sachusetts to GeeFgit,, and It's TT Vest
as Missouri and Arkansas until a weed
specialist in the Department of Agrl-
culture discovered that the plant pro
duced two kinds of bulbs. One type
was soft-coated. and formed the new
plants during late summer and fall
the other was hard so that it 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 intertilled 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 a
menace to the whole community. If
nothing better can be done with the
roadside weeds they can be moved
twice a year. This treatment, If well
kept up, will effectively check the trou-
ble Sometimes a roadside can be con
verted into a lawn, or it 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 a weeder.
Compost manure for two months be-
fore using II 1t contains weed seeds.
Practice surface cultivation after
the crops have been removed in the
fall.
Use smother crops; buckwheat, soy
beans, cowpeas, velvet beans, clover,
etc.
Chemical poisons often are helpful.
Prepare the seed beds thoroughly to
give the crop a start over the weeds.
Use winter cover crops.
Hunt out the scattered 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.
XIII the roots of perennial weeds by
keeping the tops cut down.
Grow alfalfa, when practicable, on
weed-lnfested land.
Soil improvement by the use OF lime
or green manure will help to control
the weeds.
soiling crops prevent the weeds from
reaching maturity.

Different IN THEIR MAKEUP
Boys Together, John Burroughs and
Jay Gould Were az Wide Apart
as the Poles,

One poignant recollection John Bur-
roughs had Of Jay Gould as boy and
man, he spoke of in this way: II was
large and strong, while Jay was small
and slippery. A boy taught us to
wrestle, but Jay would break his hold
and land on top. 1 would say: Jay,
that isn't fair but he would only
laugh. Not wanting to be thrown, he
resorted to tricks, and because l was
indulgent, would wrestle with no one
else. He went away to an academy
and. when he returned, his father had
sold his land and bought village tin
shop. Jay got in with man and made
maps. By and by he left that part
of the country and. our lives being
no longer parallel, never spoke to
him after that, although l saw him
twice.
Zone day while l was custodian of
vault at the national treasury in
Washington 1 heard familiar voice.
Looking up from my desk, 1 saw Jay
Gould. dark and thin and wiry as ever,
and even then one Of the richest men
in the United States. He hadn't OBJ
