WATCH THE
NOXIOUS WEEDS

Abundance of rain in many sections
Of Wisconsin, accompanied or follow
ed by high temperatures, is resulting
in the very rapid growth of all vege-
tation, especially weeds. said A. L..
Stone, Seed and Weed Control Divi-
sion Of the State Department OF Agri-
culture. This hastens the time when
the noxious weeds like quack grass,
Canada thistle, and others named in
the noxious weed law, will reach the
stage at which they should be cut to
prevent them from ripening seed. In
certain county, the farmers stated
they could remember a time when
Canada thistles were only one-tenth
as numerous as they now are. If in
thirty years, the Canadian thistle has
increased to ten times it's former size
what may We expect in the future I'M
less strenuous efforts are made to keep
the weeds from spreading. Great re-
sponsibility for the future of prosper
Gus agriculture rests upon the town,
city and village officers and the weed
commissioners appointed by them.
From large number of letters re-
ceived, it is gratifying to note that
many such officials and large major
ity of Wisconsin farmers realize the
menace to the community where they
live and are fighting to get noxious
weeds under control and eventually to
eradicate them
Every interested official farmer
owes it to himself and to the prosper
lty of his children and of the state in
future years to exert all his influence
to create community spirit which
will insist that noxious weeds shall be
kept from spreading.

PLANS QUAKER
SETTLEMENT
FOR THIS CITY
Minister of This Faith Here Looking
Up Land For This Project-To
Be Parcelled Out i'm Small
Tracts.

There is good prospect that this
section will soon have quaker COM
munity settlement to be established
somewhat along the line of the early
Quaker Settlements in the eastern
states. It is a little premature yet
for definite particulars of this enter
prise, but this much can be said at
this time, that S. Donald Rogers of
Detroit, Mich, minister of the Cos
pei according to the Quaker Faith, has
been in the city about a week looking
up land for the prospective settlement
and doing some other necessary pre-
liminary work. 1t is proposed to get
a tract of land of from 800 to 400 acres
close in to the city and to divide this
into tracts of 10, 20 and 80 acres and
bring in some families, mostly from
outside of this State, to cultivate these
tracts as small garden farms. The
plan has worked out very successfully
in some states, and it has been found,
Mr.. Rogers stated, that often families
will take off products from these small
tracts equal in value to what most
farmers take off much larger farms.
Mr.. Rogers, who is here in connection
with this project, is a great grandson
of Timothy W. Rogers, who establish
ed the original Quaker Settlement in
Ferrisburg, VT, and later similar set
Elements at New Market and Picker
ing, Canada.
Mr.. Rogers has travelled extensive
~ in missionary and evangelistic work
and is the author of the book entitled
Opening of the Books"
In establishing community settle
ments of this kind, Mr.. Rogers ex-
planned, it was found that much more
could be accomplished by consider
able number of families working on
the cooperative basis in connection
with the marketing of products.

Do you invest your savings in
bonds? If so, buy only gilt edged ones
from substantial houses and then hold
onto them. Don't become uneasy and
unload the moment they go down a
few points on the market. A bond
that is worth having will pay par at
maturity, and in the meantime it pays
the interest provided for on its face
