Of softly graded tones, closely re-

DUCKFOOT FALLOW TO
DRIVE OUT WILD OATS

"Duckfoot fallow' or "plowless
fallow" is one of our best means
of e~radicating wild oats according
to findings at the County Econ
omic Crop conference held at
Poplar last November. This -sys-
tenn will produce conditions favor
able TO sprouting those in the
ground enabling later civilizations
to kill them.
The "plowless fallow" system
has been followed by many Of the
NOS progressive farmers in
Roosevelt county for five years
or more and while there are many
who do not favor this fallow meth
cd, it has been found to be salts
factory by many others who use
this practice each year on a large
acreage. Subsequent crops are
equal or better than on carefully
plowed fallow.
Unsatisfactory crop results have
been reported by a number of
operators who have endeavored
to do a thorough job and have
cultivated as often as 5 times dur
ing the season. Too frequent cul-
tivation is doubtless the aus of
the poor returns as the seed bed
has been kept too loose to store
the maximum amount of moisture
and plant food. Fewer cultiva-
tions and especially shallower cul-
tivation the last time over seems
preferable.
The ideal method of handling
plowless fallow would seem to be
a deep cultivation in May and
shallower civilizations throughout
the summer, sufficient to keep
down weed growth and maintain
a clod mulch. Fallow handled in
this manner will do all that can
be expected of any fallow; will
control weeds, store moisture, and
liberate a maximum amount of
plant food for the following crop

APPRECIATES FREE CROSSING

APPRECIATES FREE CROSSING
In debate in the House over g
toll bridge measure Mr.. LaGuardia
denounced toll bridges on nation
al highways as a monopoly. and
making it a little stronger he de-
clared that such structures con
stituted a modern means OF
highway robbery" In all of which
he was quite right, except in the
use of the word modern" There
is nothing modern in this form
of robbery; in fact, it was gener-
ally considered so much out OF
date as to have been abandoned
and almost forgotten. 1t has even
been said that swimming was in
vented when the first Scotchman
came to the toll bridge.
Toll gates and toll bridges be-
long to the past. Where there are
public roads they should be freely
open to all, so that the penniless
may travel over them as we'll as
the more fortunate.
A man or corporation owning a
toll bridge will want to keep on
charging the public for passage
after the thing has been paid for
a 100 times over. 1t is human
nature. 1t is logical, it is com
mon sense, for the state to own
all of it's public roadside parts
that go over rivers as well as the
rest.-Pathfnder.
If Mr.. LaGuardia had to cross a
toll ferry for 20 or 40 years as
some residents on the Southside
of the Missouri river, he would
have included ferries. Toll ferries
are the most unjust, unfair,
abominable nuisance that obstruct
public highways today. In all fair
ness they should be owned, and
run by the state, or the govern
ment. People having to cross the
river to market or for supplies
