consideration, although its approach wholly differ
ent from that suggested by the faddists.
The Townsend plan, too, has served useful pur-
pose has pointed to the plight Of those who, cast
aside by and industry because Of age, stu
have nothing to keep the wolf away from the door, It
emphasizes that they have certain rights which the
country they long have served should respect Because
OF it almost certain to have at least the begin
nings Of an old-age pension system in operation soon
Only few of those who now presumably advocate
the Townsend plan support it without reservation. Many
of them belong to Townsend clubs of which Bismarck
has number. yet they have illusions to the prob
ability Of getting those fabulous $2ooamonth pensions
One member in good standing of local Townsend
club put the matter this way: "Of the Townsend
plan isn't perfect We wouldn't know what to do with
$500 month II had it and have lived too long to
believe the thing would work out they say But
entitled to something and this is the best way know
of expressing myself. sailed away money in stock
investments but they went up in smoke and have to
have something"
In Short the Townsend plan merely points to an
evil It offers workable But by pointing with
sufficient emphasis it promotes consideration Of the
problem in other minds stimulates enough mental ac-
tivity that reasonable cure may be worked out.
We shall have an old-age pension soon And when
arrives the Townsend plan will be cast into the discard
1t will have served its real purpose.

l. e T TIERS SHOW "WEEDS'
NEVER-ENDING PROBLEM

An indication of the nation wide
interest in eradicating weeds is con-
tanned in the thousands of letters
which come annually to weed experts
in the United States Department of
Agriculture. Letters to the Bureau
of Plant Industry in the last year
have asked questions about some
200 plants which were referred to as
weeds"
Among the plants which people
most commonly desire eradicated are
bindweed, Canada thistle, nu*grass,
wild onion, Johnson grass, quack
grass, pond plants, such as water
hyacinth and "alligator-grass," and
various lawn and pasture weeds.
Bindweed is particularly bad in
the winter wheat States and in Cali
fornia. 1t is a serious pest on irri-
gated land. Flowing to eradicate
bindweed is bad practice, as the
weed spreads by root portions. The
most common means of killing bind
weed are by use of chemicals and by
"black fallow'' clean
about two years.
Canada thistle usually is found
wherever spring oats and barley are
grown. Nut grass is southern
weed, spreading by tubers. Wild
onion is most common in the Central
States west as far as Missouri. It
has four means of ropagation-by
bulbs which grow in the fall, bulbs
which grow in the spring, seeds, and
aerial bulblets. johnson grass, a
member of the same group as Sudan
grass, is used for hay in the South,
but because it spreads by rootstocks,
is looked upon as a weed in cultivat-
ed fields. For that matter, any
plant which persists in growing
where it is not wanted, may acquire
the title Of weed"

POTATOES IMPORTANT SOURCE
OF MOTOR FUEL

OF all the countries that have ex-
perienced with alcohol as motor
fuel Germany has probably attained
the greatest success, according to G.
C. Concannon, Chief of the Com
merce Departments Chemical Di-
vision.
Several factors, he states, have
been responsible for this develop
ment, including the strong nation
alistic movement in Germany during
recent years, the difficulty of obtain
ing foreign exchange with which to
pay for imports, and the shortage of
domestic petroleum resources. How
ever, the governments desire to pro-
vide an outlet for the country's sur
plus potato crop has probably been
the most important.
Germany's potato crop, which In
some years reaches 100000 tons,
is in excess of the country's needs as
a foodstuff, in spite of the very high
per capita consumption, and since the
beginning of the present century Or
ganized effort has been made to in
crease consumption of potato alcohol,
it was stated.
AS the number of automobiles in
creased, and the consumption Of
gasoline mounted, the possibility of
using alcohol in blended motor fuel
was promoted as means of utilizing
surplus potato production and to
make the country more self sufficient
with regard to its motor fuel require
ments.
AS a result, the use of alcohol as
a motor fuel has been compulsory in
Germany for several years, the ratio
of admixture with other fuels being
successfully increased to 10 per cent,
the rate which has been in force since
1882, and it appears from available
statistics that Germany is now con-
Stunning more alcohol in motor fuel
than any other country, according TO
Mr.. Concannon. During 1894 a total
of 10000 metric tons was consum-
ed, compared with 100000 tons in
the preceding year. and as the num-
Der of automobiles are increasing
rapidly in Germany, it is likely that
consumption will expand further dur
ing the current year.
