each have from two to six times as
much pavement as Minnesota. But
conditions on unpaved roads in
these states, as well as in Iowa,
Kansas and Nebraska, were report
ed to be fully as bad as in Mime
sofa.
The Minnesota Highway de-
partment spent $4,000 for wages
of maintenance men in March,
compared to $4,000 in March,
1926. When the accounts for
April are all in, it will probably
show as big an increase. Some
letters and newspapers comment
we have received indicates that
some people thought our mainten-
ance men were not on the job this
spring." commissioner C. M. Bah
cock says. ".There were times when
it was so wet that it was useless to
try to do anything, but wherever
road could be made passable or
kept passable by a reasonable ex-
penditure, it was DONE"

Mudholes Have Helped to
Save State Highways
Kept Traffic From Destroying
Gravel-Rspair Work Some
times a Waste of Money

The much maligned mud holes
may have had some good after all.
According to C. M. Babcock, COM
missioner Of highways, they saved
the state hundreds of thousands of
dollars. His explanation is this:
On many roads that were poor but
passable, so that traffic kept NOV
ing, the gravel surface was COM
pletely destroyed, while on roads
where few impossible spots
stopped the traffic entirely, many
miles of good gravel was saved and
the road was in fair shape as soon
as it dried enough so that the bad
spots could be repaired.
This was one reason why the
State Highway department did not
make as great haste as some peo-
pie wanted in repairing the bad
spots this spring. Another reason,

Farmers Of State Launch
Attack on Quack Grass
Labor Cost of Graduating Weed
Averages From Eight to Thir-
teen Dollars An Acre

Quack grass, one of the weeds
most difficult to eradicate, is be-
ing vigorously attacked by Mime
sofa farmers this year, University
farm officials announced Sunday.
In the course of survey recent
ly made in western and southern
Minnesota, the investigators found
many farmers blowing up fields
that had become infested with the
thickrooted, fast-growing grass.
The cost of fighting the grass
runs high, however, farmers re-
porting in some instances that the
labor expenses of eliminating the
grass runs from slightly below So
to more than $13 per acre.
To help the farmers in their
campaign, the university experts
have prepared special bulletin in
which a field crops specialist writes
that all methods of eradication on
large fields are based on thorough
tillage.
'"The implements found on any
well equipped farm are all that
are needed in the warfare. These
implements used persistently, ac-
cording to a well organized plan
will remove the pest.
'"The plan of operation involves
four-year crop rotation. -Four
fields in turn are seeded to grain
hay, and corn. This gives excep-
tional opportunity for eradication
by thorough tillage in blowing
and cultivating for the corn crop
two years in succession.
"Small areas of quack grass may
be destroyed by covering them with
tar paper or by digging by hand

CRACKING THE LAWS

Albert Lea Tribune: There are a
lot of cars about the county with
out 1927 license plates. Why
should this exist?
If the officers of the law were
doing their duty, there would be
mighty few cars "about the Coun-
tyr without proper license plates.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1927-06-23

The fact that any newspaper can
make the statement which is at
tributed to The Tribune is evidence
in plenty that laws relating to the
licensing of automobiles are vio-
lated with as much impunity as
those which deal with the traffic.
