START WAR ON WEEDS
WITH FALL FLOWING

Early September is an opportune
time to launch a determined offensive
on such troublesome weed pests as
Canada thistle, sow thistle, and quack
grass, says DIR. Andrew Boss, vice di-
rector of the Minnesota agricultural
experiment station. By beginning
now and persistently keeping up the
practices outlined below, Minnesota
farmers may succeed in bringing
weedy fields under control within a
single season and without loss of
crops.
The first step should be to pillow the
infested fields as early as possible to
a depth of four or five inches. After
blowing, the land should be worked
every few days with a disk or duck
foot cultivator to keep down any
green weed growth which may ap-
pear. This process should be con-
tinued until shortly before the ground
freezes. About October 20 to Nov
ember 10, the ground should be re-
plowed, this time about an inch deep
er than before.
The second blowing is designed to
bring the weed roots which were left
undisturbed by the first blowing up
to the surface, where they can be
acted upon by the frost and other
agencies of weather during the win
ter. It is a good plan also to follow
this second blowing with thorough
dragging, using a springtooth har-
row.
Treatment should be continued the
next spring by disking the land or
working it with a duckfoot cuitivator
at intervals up until the crop is put
in. The best kind of crop to use will
depend on the kind of weeds with
which the land is infested. For quack
grass, it is a good plan to plant corn,
potatoes, or some other cultivated
crop, being careful to keep the crop
clean cultivated throughout the sea-
son. Thistle land might better be
put in small grain and seeded to al
fafa or sweet clover. Two or three
years in alfalfa with regular cutting
for hay has been found greatly to re-
duce and even eradicate the thistles.

new HIGHWAY
PATROL GETS
GOOD SUPPORT
Motorists Ready to Help Pre-
vent Accidents, Chief of Traf-
fic Squad Asserts

Appreciation of the cooperation
and support given the Minnesota
State Highway patrol during its first
two months of active work, is ex-
pressed in a statement issued today
by Earle Brown, chief of the patrol
division of the State Highway de-
partment.
GAIL of the men in the patrol unit
have reported that they have almost
everywhere received effective CO.
operation from the motoring public
and from town and county officials,
said Mr.. Brown. "We have found
that the public generally is wide
awake to the need of doing some
thing to reduce the number of accid-
ents and make driving on the high
ways safer, and they are generally
glad and willing to do their part. In
the two months they have been on the
road the patrolmen have found it
necessary to stop and caution great
many drivers, but in nearly every
case a warning is all that is neces-
sary. The average driver realizes
that when he neglects to obey the
traffic rules he is endangering him
self as much as others, and he is
ready to correct his driving habits
when it is called to his attention.
81 believe there is a noticeable i'm
provement in traffic conditions on
the trunk highways. Drivers are be-
coming more and more particular
about keeping to the right, and not
passing cars when there is oncoming
traffic, or at hill tops and turns
where the view is DISTRACTED. The
majority are careful to get entirely
off the concrete when they stop on
the paved roads, and get as far to
the right as possible when stopping
on unpaved roads. We also see few
er vehicles operated without proper
license plates or with license plates
covered by bumpers or luggage. We
have found comparatively few cars
on the road at night with only one
headlight burning, but it will take
some time to educate all drivers to
the need of having their light ad-
justed so they will not glare"
From July 10, when the patrol be-
gan active duty, until July 81, the
nine men constituting the patrol
made 16 arrests, of which II were
for drunken driving. Fines imposed
totaled $3.50. Warnings were given
to 2,711 violators of the traffic laws
and assistance given to 263 motor
lists. Some of the more frequent vio'
lations for which warnings were Civ
en- were improper license, $50; i'm
proper passing, Ill; improper park
ing, 271; improper turn at intersec-
ton, 50; improper lights, GAP; pass
ing on curve, 1O9; passing on crest
of hill, So; cut-out open, So; stickers

The number of automobiles regis
tered in Minnesota, so far this year,
exceeds by 52,465, the number regis
tered in any similar period, according
to figures announced Tuesday, by
Mike Holm, secretary of state. From
January to August 16, of this year
695,27S motor vehicles were register
ed and Mr.. Holm predicts that the
total for the year will be more than
10000 with fees above $11,00O,000.
For the period ending, August 16,
the state collected fees totaling $780,
483,177 from registrations. For the
same period of 1928, collections
amounted to $9,815,379 on 643,813 re-
gistrations. The total for last year
was 679,59O motor vehicles, and fees
paid, totalled $10,094,351.

COMMITTEES to reject the export de.
bemture scheme Ut the Senate.
The House of Representative
bulwark Of President Hoover on
Capitol Hill-was called upon once
more today to stand steadfastiy
with him by declaring against the
export dehenture rider" to the
$500, 600. 900 Federal farm board
bin.
Administration leaders were con-
fident that a well.disciplined House
would again respond with a ma
iority against the dsbenture plan,
estimated all the way from Is to
100 votes. The result will insure
the adoption Of the bill. as the
senate will ''go along" once the
House has voted on the debenture.
Notwithstanding this optimism,
however. Democratic leaders were
prepared to make strong stand
for the debenture. and there were
indications that many Midwestern
Republicans would swing their votes
to the position taken by the Demo
cratic Progressive coalition in the
Senate.
Result Uncertain
After the upset in the Senate, in
which the debenture provision was
retained in the farm bill despite
President Hoover's opposition, 1t
was admitted that anything might
happen in the House. With many
members already absent for the
summer. it was difficult to estimate
the vote by the usual method.
Den. ocrats prepared to support the
dehenture on the rneory that it
makes the tariff effective on sur
plus farm products. since it pro.
Vides that one.half of the tariff on
these products shall be paid out of
the Treasury to exporters. The pro.
vision for a straight 2-cent.a-pound

POISONING

MOTHER

BELAIR. Nd, June 13.-In
the little town of Havre de
Grace. Md, authorities have
unraveled al story that
reads like page from a
history of the Borgias. They
have arrested a mother on q
charge Of numbering her Is
year-old son with deadly
poison.
Mrs. Hattie Stone was brought
here from her home in Hasre de
Grace yesterday and lodged in q
Jail cell while ! formal charge Of
murder was placed sainst her.
NIsther brought Here
states Attornays w. Worthington
Hopkins ordered the mother ar
rested after Baltimore chemists re-
ported that poison had been found
in the stomach Of her young SON.
George. who died suddenly June 4.
Now Hopkins is moving to link
Mrs. Stone with the sudden deaths
of another son, Edgar; her nus-
band, Edward, and her mother-in-
law. Mrs. Mary Emma Stone.
Others Die
Edgar and the father have died
within the past two years. Mrs.
stone died four years ago. De-
scriptions OF their deaths tally with
accounts Hopkins has received of
the manner of Georges death.
Accompanied by Deputy Sheriff.
Bowman, a State pstrolman and q
court photographer, Hopkins went
to Mrs. stones home. After fail
ing to receive an answer to re-
peated knocks on the door, the
party forced their way into the
home.
MRS. Stone was found alone, fully
dressed and lying on q bed, they
said. She was questioned for sew
eral hours, and then brought here
and locked in Jail.
Submits Quietly
She tearfully denied the accuse
tions made agai1,-t her and quietly
submitted to arrest, Hopkins said.
Chemists have not yet completed
a full examination, but reported
that they were certain, on the basis
of work completed, that George
Stone had died of poison.
A full report OF the examination
wiz be laid before ccroner's jury
which was empaneled last week.
George was returning from a
moving picture show and was APP
parently in perfect health when
he was seized with convulsions.
He was taken to Havrc de Grace
Emergency Hospital where he died
the next day.
Dies ON Car
His father died on a car while
on way to work at Aberdeen. This
brother, Edgar. died suddenly in
his home. The grandmother was
III. only few days before her
death.
Their bodies will probably be ex.
humed and examined for traces of
poison.
Hopkins said he is now mvesti-
eating reports that each of the
four persons left some money in
which Mrs, Stone shared. @
Question Ro0lneF
Sheriff Bowman has questioned
Taylor Wright, a rocnaer at Mrs
Stones home, and Mrs. Mary
Baker, of Havre de Grace.
Bowman said he questioned Mrs.
Baker because he had heard a re-
