MORTGAGE OF $50
ON WEEDY ACRES
BY w. w. skuse, County Agent

By w. w. Skuse, County Agent
During the past few weeks many
farmers have asked about control
of noxious weeds such as morning
glory, star thistle, Siberian mustard,
etc. Surprising as it may seem, the
seriousness of the weed menace Is
not well understood by many. II
they could see large acreages IN
different states that have been
abandoned to weeds they would be
able to have a better realization OF
what confronts them.
One authority states that land
which is badly infested with nox-
ious weeds has the equivalent of
mortgage of $50 an acre against
it.
Many farmers let situation
creep up on them until it has be-
come a much larger problem than
it was to begin with.
Like disease, the treatment to
prescribe for eradication depends
upon the extent of trouble. Differ
ent methods are to be employed for
different conditions.
In general, the best strategy is
to "take the fight to the enemy
rather than letting him bring 1t
to YOU I will be glad to advise
those who wish to talk their weed
situation over. Under certain con-
ditions of the Agricultural Conser-
walton program payments as high
as $500 an acre for cultivation
methods and $40 an acre for chem :
ical methods may be secured. This
will be a big help.

Hall Nearing
Completion
Construction Of Floor Is
Under Way; Roofing
Next

With the sheathing of the roof
completed and the ends OF the
building closed in, only two things
remain to be done before the White
Bluffs community hall is completed
LAYING of the roofing and the con-
struction of the floor
sheathing of the roof and closing
in the ends Of the building with
shiplap was completed early this
week and work has already started
in laying the floor. A concrete noor
will first be poured, on which WILL
be placed two-by-four joists. On
these a double floor of shiplap ana
maple flooring will be laid.
Roofing material, which has been
ordered and is expected to be re-
ceiyed here within the next few
! days, is of heavy slate-covered ma
terial. It will be laid as soon as
possible. Siding will later be laid
over the shiplap on the ends OF the
buildings and the building then
painted.
The size of the crew employed
on the hall is much smaller now
than when the building was started,
many of the men having gone TO
work in the fruit. Under new
schedule recently initiated by the
WPA. hours of labor have been
shortened considerably with I'm
skilled laborers working 100 hours
per month and skilled laborers ~
For this reason, the hall will not
be completed as rapidly as had
, been expected, but it is believed
, that it will be ready for use about
the tenth of August.

Potatoes

Carlot shipments of fruits and
vegetables from the Priest Rapids
valley by the Milwaukee railroad
has totaled 81 cars to date, r. 4.
Woods, White Bluffs station agent
announced this week.
These shipments included nine
cars Of apricots, twelve cars OF vel
low transparent apples and ten
cars of early potatoes. This season

c1ared. that this valley has shipped
over a single straight car OF april
cots.
In addition to these carlot SHIP
nents, there have been several cars
of apricots shipped by express, as
well as small shipments OF otner
fruits and vegetables.
With the completion of the cot
and early apple harvest, there mas
been a lull in the fruit work Tor
the mast week, but with the f1rst
shipment of Rochester peaches
scheduled to start the latter para
of this week, the buster part OF
the season is at hand.
1t is estimated that peach ship.
ner1ts from the valley this season
will total about thirty cars, 1nclud
ing eleven of Rochesters and abou
twenty cars of later varieties.
No prices have yet been set 10
reaches. and it is not expected tina
any of the fruit will be contracted
as the market is too unsettled. Mos
growers have decided to ride tn
market.
While many indications point t
a good price for the fruit. shipper
declare that the demand Is nc
strong enough at this time to wal
rant any predictions, and that tn
market may easily be ruined
shipments to any distributing poi1
are too heavy.
It is expected that the Rochester
and other early peaches IN tn
valley will be cleaned up by II
end of July, with the shipment
