STATE WEED INSPECT
ATTACKS SOW THISTLE
Urges Seeding Down Of Afflicted Areas
TO Grasses and Planting OF
Fall Rye

The following communication con-
corning SOW thistle control was received
this week from C..sP. Bull, state weed
Inspector:
When we are afflicted with grow
ing i'll we naturally grasp at a suggest
ed remedy. The Perennial Sow Thistle
is a most serious growing ill. In 20
years of free distribu ton in this
Northwest it has become thoroughly es-
tablished in all Red River Valley coun-
ties and can be found in every other
county in Minnesota, western WiscOn-
sin, northern Iowa and eastern South
Dakota. In certain localities this weed
has interfered with, crop production to
such an extent that farmers have ac-
.tually sold out at a loss and moved to
other localities, only to find that in q
few years it is following close, ION their
HEELS z rs
So serious has become the Sow This
tie, Canada thistle and other noxious
weed pests, that Minnesota passed a
noxious weed, law Chapter 800, Cen
eral Laws of 1921, for the beginning Of
their control Thus far, only begin
ming has been made. Over 100 local
weed inspectors have been appointed
and are working, principally 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 recon-.
mendation to the farmers as partial
relief. These are the seeding down to:
grasses, clovers 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
its way before the thistles get started.
1t is the one grain crop that can cope
with the thistles and at the same time me
give a return for labor incurred.
The Minnesota No. 2 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 barley on On
thistle infested land.

SPORT INTEREST TURNS
TO FOOTBALL PROSPECTS
Possibility Of City Team Looms Up
Before Individuals Interested
i s.: In Game 3

With the baseball season on the wane
in this mans country ambitious ath-
letes are turning their thoughts and.
eyes toward their old moleskins hid
away In the recess of the attic or buried
beneath the rubbish Of the woodshed.
The brisk mornings and cool evenings
Of the past week have made. girdiron
enthusiasts apprehensive Of the coming
fall months and what they may bring
in the way Of their fayorite sport AZ
ready there is an eagerness in the air
for the feel of the cleated shoes and
the thud Of the oval.
Local speculatiOns center about the
possibility Of Legion or city team as
it Is assured that the high school will
put worthy machine in the field to
meet neighbOring school elevens. Ac-
Scording to the gossip, it will be prac-
5tically impossible for the local Legion
post to put a fast team on the girdiron
as all players participating in athletics
conducted under the name of the Legion
must be members of that organizatio
On the other hand there are number
OF good sgirdiron athletes in town who
do not belong to the. Legion. In order
to put the best possible team from this
city on the field these players will, Of
necessity, have to be put, behind the
ball.
Last year the formation of the team
was gotten under way but too late for
playing any games. It is hoped that
should "a team be considered possible
here the pigskin chasers will get out
early enough to produce some interest
ing contest before the snow flies.
Football is the premier game at most
colleges and universities and with the
proper conduction should also prove Of
considerable interest independently
With d good degree of craftsmanship
maintained and the unnecessary rough
ness eliminated the towns in this sec
ton Of the country could get some real
enjoyment from a series Of well played
contests. III. ~
Is Warren can, no doubt, produce a
worthy team of; grid gladiators this fall
and stage some interesting contests
with neighboring towns. The boys are
anxious to play and that they may feel
justified in getting out and working a
little interest on the part Of the citizens
would 60 a long way toward the forma-
ton Of a worthy grid machine.

Attempts to Evade Law sss i,

Violators Of the new Minnesota motor

charged with misdemeanors.1 The most
serious Offense listed is that Of attempt
ing to evade the tax.
Asserting that ample time has been
allowed for compliance with the law,
Secretary Holm added that it IS only
fair to those who have paid their just
shares OF the tax that others be re-
quired to do their part and pay the pen
atty of neglect or delay. SPECIAL In
structions cover misuse Of license plates
notably those issued to dealers for use
only on demonstration cars, and the use
OF plates from other state on Minnesota
owned cars.
B Passenger cars, BUSES and hearses
must carry blue tags, the ~" plates
being for those paying the $12 minimum
and the 81 plates for those paying g
higher tax. Trucks carry saE' or y
plates and the class embraces all motor
vehicles carrying other things than pas
sengers, Including roadsters equipped
with boxes. Dealers plates bear the ll
letter ID and trailers welt thing over
1000 pounds must have y s tags.
Reports Of many alleged viola lions

A study Of barlum carbonate as q

that ~ per cent mixture wi:h food

percentage a rat ordinarily needs to
eat only one-thlrd or three-eighths Of
