Shall we tell 'em?

Several times during the past week
proud citizens of Redwood Falls have
been button-holed by enthusiastic
tourists who have Grated at length on
the beauty of the surrounding land
scape that has not already become
attached to their ears, eyes, and 9TH
er visible parts of their anatomy,
They have discoursed upon the rugged
beauty of the rocks, the cool refresh
ing appearance of the falls and of
other things until the listener is III
grave danger of losing the buttons off
his vest. He is suddenly debated,
however, by this query, "Say, what
town is this anyway" He is shocked
at the apparent blindness of the tourist
HON he thought so observing, but
he is further amazed to learn that, al
though the non-skid quality of the
waffles served in the restaurant Is
widely advertised, there is no enlight-
ening sign to tell the traveller what
town he is approaching. Even the
Indians were better advertisers thar
this They called this the falls of the
tree painted red" and then proceeded
to keep a tree painted red so there
would be no doubt about it.
While we question the value Of
smearing barn paint on the trees a.
long the road we would advocate the
iudicious use of small amount OF
paint combined with white boarc
on which there is volunteered the in
formation that is sought by these tour
lists so that they may know the name
of this garden spot of Southern Min
nesota." Added to the name Of the
,'ty there should be word telling
the world that this is also the loca.
lion of Ramsey State Park.

First Method of Advertising.

In Old Testament times. when the
countries bordering on the Nile, the
Euphrates and Tigris rivers were the
center Of trade, the Carthaginians
used to sail along the Mediterranean
with a boatload Of their manufactures
which they would unload on the coast
of Lydia, and having lighted bonfire
near the goods, returned to their ships.
The inhabitants, knowing by the bon
fire that the Carthaginians had some
thing to sell, would come out OF their
city to inspect it. Then they would
pile up gold near the merchandise and
retire into the city. The Carthage
mans would land again, examine the
gold, and if in their judgment it was
equal in value to the goods they left,
they would take it and sail away.
This bonfire custom is the first
method of advertising of which his
tory tells.

County Agent
Warns Farmers

Sow thistles are getting to be a very
serious pest in some parts of Redwood
County. Some patches are constantly
growing larger and spreading to new
fields as a result of seed blowing from
one place to another and being con-
veyed by farm, machinery and ami
mails. The sow thistle was originally
brought to Canada in the year 1900;
it is spreading in all directions at the
rate of 20 miles year and is now IN
every Minnesota county. 1t is hard
er to control than canada thistle or
quack grass. 1t spreads more rapidly
than dandelions. Seeds are carried
by wind, water, seed grain, and thresh-
ing rigs. 1t thrives best in the marsh
lands, low spots, and lake borders.
1t spreads both by seed and by large
root stock the same as quack grass and
canada thistle. 1t grows from one to
five feet high depending upon the
conditions of growing; it has a hol-
low stem with milk juice and only
a few leaves. The flower stem is
covered with long hairs; the flower
s of bright yellow color which is
about inches in diameter producing
a large number of seeds borne by a
silky tuft that serves for carrying the
seed Though the wind to other fields.
~ Method of Combating.
= The best means of combating are:
1. Preventing any blossoms from
going to seed by moving down, as one
plant produces many thousands OF
seeds.
2. Small patches may be eliminat-
ed and the plant eradicated by digg-
ing it out, hoeing it down and smooth
ering with tar paper or by fencing
and keeping hogs on the small area.
3. Bare summer fallow for larger
areas in the more arid sections or dry
land. Rye sown thick in early fall
after following and pastured blowing
up in the spring and put in to smoth-
er crops.
6. Sow thistles do not thrive on a
sod land of any kind After the
smother crop the land should be pre-
pared, it should be seeded to timO-
thy, clover, alfalfa or sweet colver,
preferably alfalfa as this will remain
down in sod over a period of years
sufficient to totally eliminate the sow
thistles. Sweet clover is also good
where pasture is more adaptable
Sweet clover if sown thick and pas
tured heavily for a period of two
years will do the job and will elm
mate the SOW thistle.
z. Exercise special precaution in
securing clean seed. Straw, hay, and
commercial feed may contain sow
thistle seed if produced in an infest-
ed district.
/ 8. There is a law recurring all
