CERTIFIED FARMS
PLAN TO PREVENT
SPREAD OF WEEDS
PURE SEED PROGRAM
EXPECTED TO AID
CONTROL WORK

J A self-supporting plan of GER
tifying Weed-free farms in Red
wood county was adopted at a
meeting of the county crop i'm
provement committee in the
county agents office Thursday
night.
Members of the committee will
take the project before the board
of directors of the state crop i'm
proVement committee Monday
when they plan to discuss the ap-
pointment of an inspector, to be
named by the groups jointly.
Redwood county was the first
to initiate an intensive weed con-
troll program and the new plan is
a step in the program as it is re-
lated to quality crop production
and the pure seed program, men,
bers of the committee say.
The plan contemplates cooper
alive effort which would utilize
existing agencies. Applicants
farms are to be inspected for the
following nOXiouS weeds: bind
week, leafy spurge, canada thistle,
perennial sow thistle, quack grass,
wild oats, french weed and any
other weed considered by the in
pector to be harmful.
Inspection is to be made after
harvest and before threshing -
preferably to be completed before
, the middle of August. The COM
plete farm is to be inspected for
~bindweed and leafy spurge and
all grain fields for other weeds.
When it is determined that the
farm is free from the harmful
weeds a certificate signed by the
Inspector and the chairman of the
committee will be issued to the
applicant. Previous cutting or
eradication of weeds that would
without question prevent the
spreading of seed will be deemed
to qualify the farm with respect
to the issuance of a certificate.
A fee of $3.50 per farm plus 81
per quarter section will be pay
able to the county crop improve
ment committee at the time of
application. Any surplus remain
ing at the close of the season will
be refunded in pro rata manner
at the discretion of the committee.

Not a Good Motive
Philadelphia Record)


 The story of the young who has been hunt ing his fathers murderer for 25 years and who has just caused the arrest of suspect at Milford Conn., should have ranspired 300 years ago. Then the young man would have been hero ballads would have been composed for him. the Grade A dramatists of the period would have wrapped him up in high quality blank verse.
 Something has happened to revenge in the inter- vening time. It used to be the most respectable of motives for human conduct proper Now is looked upon obquely except in the more remote portions of Kentucky and Tennessee. Revenge as way of life has lost it's hold the human magin- ation.
 That very practical artist w Somerset Maugham remarked in his recent autobiography that it would be impossible today for a dramatst to write a play about revenge and get away with it. He seems to be right Jealousy as motive in violent human conduct to be suffering the same fate; there hasn't been play novel of standing in which jealousy was the leading motive for many years.
 Of course, Hamlet" still goes on (and on) but Hamlet is a different affair Not only revenge is involved but Hamlet's claim to the throne against his usurper uncle Besides the uncle is such beast he would merit harsh treatment if he hadn't put the stuff into Hamlets fathers ear Shakespeare wasn't taking any chances that some one might say his hero had gone off half-cocked.
