REDWOOD FAMILY
ADVENTURE FLYER, GET
TING $4,000 MONTHLY,
SHOT DOWN

Mr.. and Mrs. John Dahl of
Redwood Falls have more than a
casual interest in the fate OF an
American aviator who was shot
down in Spain by General Fran
cos rebel forces and for a time
faced possible execution.
Harold Dahl, %, Champaign,
Illinois, adventure flyer, is sec
ond cousin of Mr.. Dahl.
The Redwood Falls stock buy
er does not know him but knew
his father, since dead. He is also
acquainted with his mother, Mrs.
Ida Dahl of Champaign, whose
frantic appeals brought assurance
Friday from Secretary of State
Hull that the United States will
do everything possible to save her
aviator son from firing squad
in Spain. Dahl's plane was shot
down July IL.
The young f1ier was drawing
$4,000 a month for his services

According to dispatches Satur-
day, Dahl, who was jailed by
Spanish insurgents after falling
behind their lines, is in no dang
er of death by execution. 1t was

for opposing the insurgent army,
do not entail the extreme penal
ty. Definitely, the informant said,
Dahl has not been condemned to
death.

In Battle to
Control Weeds
FIGHTERS RESENT STORY
NAMING SECTION AS
'WEED CENTER"

Small groups of Redwood coun-
ty farmers, landholders and those
interested in weed work gathered
in impromptu indignation meet
ings on the streets Tuesday to
discuss an article on bind weed
or creeping jenny which appeared
Sunday in a Twin Cities news
paper.
1.-THE infestation has conferred
in Redwood and adjoining coun-
ties" stated the article.
Redwood county is not the
worst by any MEANS" said Nate
H. Rovee, former county agent
who with the county board in
augurated the county's famous
weed eradication plan here.
He explained that Redwood
county is located in about the
geographic center Of the infested
area but that other counties, some
of them not even adjoining this,
are as badly if not more seriously
infested.
Leader in Work
The Lamberton experimental
weed farm which was the subject
of the article was selected from
farms in Redwood, Murray, Cot
tonwood and Watonwan counties
because the infestation was uni
form on the particular tract and
because Redwood county had TAX
en- the lead in weed eradication
work.
In 1884 a committee, selected
the previous year in statewide
meeting at Window, went to
Washington, D. C.. to secure
congressional appropriation of
$4,000, two thirds of which was
allotted for research and $4,000
for chemical investigation.
The $4,000 was used to estab-
lish weed farms, one at Lamber-
ton, one at Moscow, Idaho; an
other near Hayes Station, Kansas
and fourth at Cherokee, Iowa.
DR.. F. c. Salmon and DR.. L. w.
kephart of the federal bureau of
plant industries; c. P. Bull, state
weed man, G. H. Schrader, Muir
ray county agent and Mr.. Bovee,
then Redwood county agent, made
the selections.
Redwood county does not have
the most bind weed of any coun-
ty in the state" Mr.. Bovee re-
peated.
The estimated total of acres in
tested with creeping jenny and
leafy spurge in the entire state is
234 900 and in South Dakota the
estimate is 100000 acres.
Z Year Battle
Redwood county is outstanding
in the state not for its infestation
but for its leadership in control
and eradication.
In program which has been
active over period of seven
years, hundreds of acres of weeds
have been eradicated with much
attention paid to small patches
which were in danger of spread
ing. As MIR. Bovee put its, the
weed has been corraIled, outlying
patches being eradicated and eff
forts being made to learn to era
dictate larger patches more cheap
ly than at present.
