The PROPER Way to Remove Barberry
Bushes Is to Dig Deep Enough tc
Remove All the Roots.

from plants that were dug August 1
produced a high percentage of seed
lings.
After the bushes are taken out the
tops should be separated from the
crown and balls of earth shaken from
the roots. Grubbed bushes, lying on
the ground, have been found produc-
ing green leaves. In such cases one
or more roots were in contact with the
soil. Some of the grubbed bushes
were completely. severed from the soil,
but there was enough earth left on the
roots to hold moisture until secondary
roots were formed. This condition
happens most frequently In wet
weather or In moist woodlands.
Seedlings Under Dead Bushes.
Great numbers of seedlings mi
times are found growing under dead
bushes that were dug when In fruit.
The last of September berries were
collected from bushes dug August 1,
and 1000 of them (about 1000 seeds)
were scattered on loose earth and
lightly covered with dirt and leaves.
The following June there were 2S2
seedlings on this area. The same num-
Der of berries were collected from
standing bushes at the same time and
sown under similar conditions. The
following June there were 307 seed
lings or the area, showing that the
immature seeds were almost as viable
as the matured ones. 1t is probable
that seeds from bushes grubbed out
ever before August will grow, and for
this reason it is Important, says the
department, to destroy them.
Advisable to Watch Sprouts.
1t also is advisable to watch the
sprouts that may come up where old
barberry plants have been taken out,
These sprouts produce seed much
earlier than bushes that grow direct
ly from seeds. Bushes were dug in
the fall of 1920. That same fall
sprouts were produced, and during the
following year they grew vigorously.
BY 1922 these plants were bearing
flowers In abundance. This summer.
therefore, special attention must be
given to places where bushes were
dug in 1920 or earlier, says the de-
partment.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The V. H. S. closed the basket ball
season with a winning game last Fri
day evening defeating the Soldiers
Grove all stars with a score of 25-40
The Grove defeated us short time
ago on THEIR own floor but when il
came to playing US here the score was
reversed
1t is with regret that the majority
of the team have to think that they
have participated in the last athletics
of old v. II. s., the school that they
have tried to the best of their ability
under the difficult circumstances to
uphold. They realize and appreciate
the way the school has stood back of
them through thick and thin through
out the entire season. For high school
spirit and support we could ask for no
better and the school as a whole wish
es to express their thanks to those
who laid that firm foundation for bet
ter school spirit which has stood true
through many a destructive storm
which would no doubt have otherwise
fallen had it not been for its founder
and advisor. The struggle is ended
and the battle is won and we feel con-
fident that next year the v. H. S. shall
stand out on that list of winning
schools more than ever.
School was not in session Thursday
and Friday of last week due to the
teachers conventions being held in the
different parts of the state. The ma
jority of the teachers attended the
convention held at Lacrosse but we
are informed that three or four of
them journeyed on to attend the Min
neapolis convention for some un-
known reason, perhaps to visit the
high schools there or to attend a
grand opera.
A senior class meeting was held
last Monday and we were advised by
Prof. Fulton to start Immediately pre-
pairing for commencement, which
takes place early in June.
An informal party was given to the
members of the " H. s. basket ball
team by their coach Mr.. Enders, Tues

success. Those going are Sherman

to what we experienced three weeks

MAKING SUCCESS OF GARDEN
Soils Must Be Deep, Mellow and Fri.
able and in crumbIy State When
Plowed or Hoed.

The success Of a garden is largely
due to the manner in which the soil
has been prepared. The soil must be
deep, mellow and friable, so that it
will be in a crumbly state when
plowed or hoed. That is, the minute
particles of the soil must be granular,
each maintaining its form and con-
sistency. When such soil is wet, each
portion is enveloped by film Of water
which is retained for some time. The
plant food is thus dissolved and this
water-laden plant food is taken by
the roots Of the plants.

In others the ventilation is controlled
entirely by the latter method. Muslin
screens on the windows provide good
ventilation without draft and at the

sun from the machines. Many incuba-
tor cellars have cement floors, which
are easier than dirt floors to keep clean
