old town, with its great
gaunt ch,.rch, whose windows, as
the numbering cart descended the

hillside, was the convent, with its
avenue of stunted elms, its close
barred windows, its terrible pris-

heard of had been very different

brief visit there this return into
the fresh country air. the smell of
the fields, the. color and life OF
rolling landscape, were blessed
things. I was more than ever sat
isfied with my decision. 1t was
mot possible to send the child
back to such a place.

road ian like a tightly drawn band

flourish In front OF the ancient
gateway of the Lion dor, and I

a little way TO meet me. She held
out a delicately gloved hand. and

it? Have you a few minutes to

What The Farmers Are Doing

the space about the ward and barn

and blue grass, and after the first
year. have a source of income from
the grass on it, instead of a source
of damage. 1t will be difficult to
keep the new grass watered and pro-
tected the first year, but it will be
an advantage for many years. When
the fences are replaced after the
seedbed is prepared, the average
man will put them in different loca-
lions from where they were before
and find that it is better arrange
ment than he had before and leaves
more land in the field for crops.
When he has done such job
thoroly around the house and barn
he will have a big desire to carry the
same program Of neatness and
thoroness farther out into his farm,
and instituting such a plan is likely
to be the turning point in his farm
methods. That is the time to sell
part Of his farm and to go to farm
ing the rest of it just as he pleases.
He will find he makes great re-
duction in expenses, gets much more
satisfaction out of his work and may
also find that his income is about as
large as before. Everybody seems
to have land for sale now, but no
body is buying. BY the time men
can get started on their new plans
and get the new sod looming up
around the buildings there may be
buyers for half OF their farm lands.
There is going to be a great
change in agriculture in the next
few years. The Snake river valley
is behind the times, and it has the
resources to become rich empire II
it uses them. But it also has the
possibilities of gigantic failure Il
it mis-uses them. 1t has enought
rundown farms to discourage peo-
pie who lack spine. 1t has enough
weed seeds to swamp all the farms
If given a fair chance, for weeds
work all the time-the farmer
leaves the weeds and works at some
thing else part of the time. The
farmers who are easily discouraged
are going to give up and move to the
towns. The young men and women

going to get possession of the run
down farms and seed them to red

Bingham county is getting to be
quite weedy county along with its
pure seed farms and the situation
cannot be ignored without sacri-
fee. Fence rows, ditch banks, barn
yards and dooryards are alike fall
ing victim to this pest, the trash lett
over from the summer, which moth
ing will eat in the fall or winter,
simply harbors insect pests that
swarm in fields and gardens the year
after. This year has witnessed a
great amount of damage to gardens
from insects, and unless the trash
is grazed off or burned or ploWed
under, the insect pest may be ex-
pected to increase with each sue
ceeding year. A bad feature about
it is that one man cannot succeed
fighting weeds on his own farm
alone. 1t must be general attack
to be effective, and the tendency is
for each one to wait until the others
do something. That is the way agr1-
culture has died in some countries
and ours is not proof against such
disaster.
There are remedies for such
things-sheep grazing the volunteer
growth whenever and wherever they
can be kept on it. Moving them
down when young and tender and
again after they stool out and grow
again. Flowing them under while
green, burning what is left as early
in the fall as it can be found dry
enough to burn. Leaving the trash
till spring gives too much chance Tor
the larvae to hatch and get away.
The average man with weeds on
his farm does ont have time to de-
stroy them. His farm is too large
and he has the heavy investment OF
too much land, has the heavy taxes
and water assessments, and muses.

farm. Everybody is more or less
guilty, and the larger the farms, the
more difficult it is to combat the
losing features. The remedy is to
sell part of the farm and use the
money to remodel and improve the
rest. Most Of the barnyards are toe
large and there is waste space both
inside and around them. There is q

space and belt Of weeds outside Of
it. It is practical in many places to

ARTHUR GRIFFITH, FREE STATE
CHIEF, DIES IN PRIESTS ARMS
Succumbs to Heart Attack as Last Sparks Of
Rebellion Are Stamped Out

DUBLIN. Aug. 12.-Arthur Grff-
fifth, the greatest figure of the Irish
Free State, died today as the last
sparks of the rebellion against the
government which he set up were
being stamped out.
On the eve of seeing the Irish
Free State, for which he mad given
his best efforts. firmly established
with the final defeat of the rebel
forces. Griffith died of heart attack
in the arms of a weeping priest.
Just as he died, the news was
coming in that the last of the rebef
in Cork had surrendered. and that
the remnants of the insurgent
forces were being hunted down by
Free State troops. A few hours
before his death the rebels made
their last effort to launch another
UPRISING in Dublin by the capture
of the post office. but it was easily
suppressed by troops of Griffith's
government.

held together the opposing factions
in the Irish Free State.
1t was feared tonight that Grif-
fith's death would be a most SER
ious blow to the Free State as IL
was his sane leadership that MAIN
tained unity. He was known as
the very foundation of the govern
ment.
1t was the calculating mind of
Griffith that conceived the most re-
cent form of Sim Fein movement
While the popular attention was
centered on the spectacular move
ments of Eamonn De Valera and
Michael Collins in the early days
Griffith wasthe real power.
Thrust Aside Honors.
Griffith never sought personal
advancement. but was content TO
quietly carry on his work, stand
ing aside and thrusting the nations
honors on his friends. Thus he al
lowed Michael Collins to become
the provisional head OF the Free
State and in days before permitted
de Valera to become president of
the Irish Republic"
He was one of the signers of
the treaty with Great Britain which
established the Free State. Above
all other Irishmen, he could match
wits with Lloyd George, who great

Grimth was a powerful speaker
and easily moved his audiences. On
one occasion in London he swayed
an audience of 10000 Irfshmen and
women by calling upon them to rise
and fight for ireland.
Starting his career as an editor,
Grifith attracted international at

with it's proponents claiming a
speedy passage for 1t.
Its opponents. however. were pre-
pared to fight its progress every
step. Their first move probably
will be to raise the point of no
quorum" in the Senate. With the
tariff bill disposed of. many Sena-
tors will leave Washington Satur-
day to attend to their political az
fairs in their States while others
will visit vacation resorts.
For this reason it appeared likely
that unless the measures friends
were able to keep enough Senators
here to insure a quorum at all times
that the bill might face serious de-
lay.
Another move by the anti-bonus
Senators will be an effort to get
President Harding to come out
fatty against bonus legislation
now.

tions result in a call on Congress

be sidetracked still further
