Hocing and pulling experimenting
cultural methods Of eradication and
ms cleanup measures will often be
necessary After a rain when the
ground Is thoroughly wet, buewceds
can be pulled most effectively. The
roots will then break deep In the
ground and this practice in itself
will in time rid the land Of this
pest.
These experiments have shown
conclusivcly that the bluewced can
be killed out completely in less
than two years time by following
the land and blowing at intervals
of about two months during the
growing season. This Is not only
rather remarkably short time but
also fewer treatments are given and
less labor is expended than would
be expected 10 accomplish the rid
dance of this persistent pest. II
should be stated here that the fact
that the season Of 1918 was very
dry was undoubtedly Of great help
IN facilitating the eradication and
Il is probable that In wet seasons
a greater number Of operations
would be necessary 10 accomplish
the same results. When the ground

Deep Flowing Plat No. 2 was

was attended by good results from
the start and on July o, the date
Of the second blowing, only few
Of the weeds were still In evidence
and putting out new growth. At
the end of the first season there
we're few scattering weeds still
left but this method proved far SUI
perior 10 any of the others. Actual
counts, April 10, 1919, showed 395
weeds putting out growth on this
plat. These few remaining weeds
were completely destroyed the sec
ond season.

plowcd plat was plowed four inch
es deep with a walking pillow. This
treatment did not show 10 be as
satisfactory nj the end Of the first
season Ms the deep blowing, but il
was superior TO the other methods
At the beginning of the second sea-
son there was n total Of s2s weeds
showing on this plat or twice the
number on the deep-plowed area.
These were practically all killed
out the second season, but few
scattering weeds remained which
were not destroyed These, how
ever, could quickly be- eliminated
by hand labor or by cropping cf-
ficiently.
Deep Listings The land was
prepared with a lister equipped with
a l4-inch point. The depth Of the
listing on this plat was seven inch
Is. The weeds were materially
thinned out the first year, there re-
naming only about one-third as
many as on the non-treated or
check plat, but more than eight
times as many a. remained on the
deep-plowed plat.
Shalaw Listing PLAT No. re-
ceived the same treatment rs the
one above except the lister was

STOCK MARKET
(By Tia Assoeiated Press)

NEW YORK, Dec 29.-The confus-
ing movement of prices in today's
stock market reflected the specula-
tive uncertainty over the ultimate
trend, trading again being largely
a professional affair. Spectators for
the advance took the railroad shares
in hand shortly after the opening
and appeared to be making good
progress when short pressure was
directed against some of the steels,
equipments and other speculative fav-
orites, the market thereafter express
sing marked Irregularities.

during the session by California Pc

cation of November production fig

seven points to 25S, another new
high record.
Steel shares failed to respond to
the optimistic tone of the trade
weekly reviews, which indicated u1u-
sual year-end activity with prospects
for a continuance of a high produc-
ton rate into the early months of
next year. United States Steel got
down below 106 for a net loss of

Baldwin, which led the advance

than four points, forfeited pa points
today Other equipments also were
under pressure.
Railroad stocks generally failed TO
hold their early gains although Le-

son closed to two points higher.
Copper shares made no response
to another increase in the price of
the red metal bringing il to lax

tional losses, directors of the last

The foundation OF an artificial
pearl Is a small sphere OF blown
glass. These spheres are obtained
from very thin tube OF glass
more or less opalescent in tone.
Very varied forms can be obtained
closely initiating the variety found
In natural pearls, but this work
must be entrusted to highly skilled
glass blowers, since the ball OF the
bead must be both extremely thin
and even in its thickness.
