Control Of ThiStLes
Described By Agent

Suggested ways of controlling
thistles, bind weed and quack grass
were discussed last week by James
II. Warner, Allen county farm ex-
tension agent.
For small patches, sodium chlorate
and limestone can be applied with
excellent results, Warner said.
Sodium chlorate also can be used
as a spray. When SO used the pro-
portions and rate depend upon the
number of weeds to be controlled.
Enough water should be applied to
the chlorate to permit application
with sprayer. Weeds must be COM
pletely covered to kill them. Some
times two or three applications are
required.

from President Roosevelt, is address
ed To the administrator, Federal Sc

My dear Mr.. Administrator
Reports have reached me that some
young people who had planned To enter
college this fall. as we'll as Il number
of those who attended college last
year. are intending to interrupt their
education ut this time because they
feel it is more patriotic To work in IA
Shipyard. or TO enlist in the army or
navy. than it is To attend college. Such
Il decision would be unfortunate.
We must have well-educated and in
telligent citizens who have sound judg-
ment in dealing with the difficult
problems Of today. We must also have
scientists. engineers. economists. and
other people with specialized know
ledge. To plan and TO build for nation
al defense as well as for social and
economic progress. Young people
should he advised that il is their pa
triOtic duty TO continue the normal
course of their education. unless and
until they are called. SO that they will
be well prepared for greatest useful
ness To their country. They will he
promptly notified if they are needed
for other patriotic services.
Sincerely yours.
