TELLS HOW TO KILL
WILD MORNING GLORY.

Methods of Kidding farm land of
wild morning glory were the chief
topic of discussion at one session Of
the agronomic conference at the State
College of Washington, when Prof
M. d. Thomas of the Utah expert
ment station read a paper on the con-
troll work done by George Stewart
and d. W. Pittman of the same sta
ton.
"Wild morning glory is the worst
weed in Utah" said Mr. Thomas. at
is rootstock perennial; that is, it has
underground rootstocks which permit
it to spread by sending up new shoots
few inches from the original plant.
During normal growth the leaves
manufacture food and store it in these
underground parts, which make use
of it in the production of new shoots.
There are several bad weeds which
propagate by rootstocks, the most
common of which are morning glory,
whitetop, ground cherry, Canada
thistle, mouse ear or desert" weed
or poverty" weed, common milkweed
and quack- grass. They are contrast
ed with root crown perennials such as
malloW, dandelion, docks, and others.
These last can not produce new
plants from their underground parts,
but resist ordinary tilage methods
with considerable success. Usually
they are heavy seeders, whereas root
stock perennials usually seed only
moderately, or scarcely at all in some
cases. Whitetop is an exception, pro-
ducing abundant seed"
Mr.. Thomas continued with descrip-
ton of the hopeless feeling in many
parts of Utah where land has become
infested with these rootstock peren-
malls, and then told what his expert
ment station has done in campaign
to rid the state of them.
Seven standard methods of combat
ing these weeds have been estah-
lished: /, cutting down tops; 2,
smothering; 3, covering with tar pa
per; 4, pasturing; 5, digging; 6, treat
ing with chemicals; and 7, rotating
with smother crops.

frequent, shallow tillage is the best
method of control" Mr.. Thomas con

HIGHWAY MATTERS.

State highway contracts to be
awarded in September will include
awards for supplying sand and gravel
required for the paving of the Pacific
highway between Toledo and Kalama
during 1923. There has been short
age Of sand and gravel during the
present year, and the state highway
committee will arrange for the deliv-
cry of building materials during
the coming winter so that actual paw
ing can begin early in the Spring, and
the contractors who will do the work
will be assured of plenty of materials
1t is proposed to divide the gap in
the Pacific highway in Lewis and
COwlitZ counties into seven jobs, so
that each contractor next year will lay
approximately 5 miles of paving. BY
using the new ferry across the Column
bia between Kelso, Wash, and Rain
Ter, Ore, and diverting traffic during
construction to the west side of the
Cowlitz river, the whole paving ioI
can be completed in one season.
The engineering estimate probably
will allow 81 100000 for the paving in
Cowlitz and Lewis counties, but if
competition is as keen next spring ~
it has been this year, the state will
expect to make a big saving under
the estimate.
By the end of the present season
the paving will be completed from
Vancouver to kalama. Contractors
working between Tenino and Grand
Mound will finish paving next month.
and the highway will be opened to
travel about the middle of September.
By fall the Toledo-Kalam section
will be the only unpaved portion of
the Pacific highway south of Seattle.
The Island School House section of
the same highway in Snohomsh coun-
ty was thrown open to travel last
week, and other new work vii be fin
ished this year. 1t is expected the
i"-o pioS an VIII plONlue lOG lHt
completion of paving to the British
Columbia line.
The West Side paving program that
will be recommended to the next
Legislature also is expected to include
completion of paving to Grays Har-
Dor on the Olympic highway. On the
Sunset highway the paving probably
will be extended to North Bend.
There is now paved about 1000
miles of the state highway system
267 miles of which has been complet-
ed by the state, with federal aid, and
the remainder by county and federal
funds. 1nasmuch as the first appro-
priation for the paving was made in
the legislative session of 1919, the
showing is regarded by state officials
as very satisfactory.
State officers who are on fire patrol
duty have found that the campers and
automobile tourists who apparently
are very careful about extinguishinp
their fires after preparing morning
