EXTENSION SERVICE NOTES

All farmers of Lincoln county are
enco uraged to participate in Flat
head County Weed tour sponsored
by the Extension Service on Tues
day, May 18th at 100 p. m. The
purpose of this tour is to identify
the perennial noXious weeds and
to illustrate the various methods
of control being carried out in the
county under the direction of Mr.
Olav Prestbye, Co. Weed Commits
sioner. Visits will also be made
to the fertilizer trial demonstration
plots and small grain nursery work
being carried on in the county.
This tour will be of great value
to any farmer wishing to become
more familiar with the various nox-
ious weeds and most effective meth
> DDS of control Anyone attending
this tour should find this very edu-
cational and worthwhile.
Saturday, May 1iith, attended
a meeting in Eureka to discuss the
organization of weed control pro-
gram for the county. At this meet
ing there was a great deal of in
terest shown in the control program
as it operates in Flathead county.
This system is very simple, mex
pensive and yet highly effective. 1t
is not organized as a weed control
district as outlined under the State
Law. It merely consists of a weed
commissioner, hired by the county
on a part-time basis to assist far
mers in locating and identifying the
noxious weed. Also he advises far
mers on their control, assists with
the application of chemicals if re-
quested by the farmer and conducts
all the weed control work on the
county highways and lands. 1t also
depends on the recommendations of
the weed commissioner whether you
can become eligible for the A. A. A.
payment for weed control work.
An organized weed control prog
ram in a county such as Lincoln Co.,
cannot be minimiZed because many
of the perennial noxiouS weeds are
just getting a start in the county
This is the time to kill them. Not
when they have become as prevail
ent as Canadian Thistle When the
patches are small and isolated, a
few dollars spent on control can
do more than thousands later. If
every farmer would learn to iden-
tify these weeds, then as soon as
they appear he would know how to
act
This matter is not only the con-
Germ of the farmers, but is of con-
Germ to everyone in the county be-
cause the economy of a nation is
no sounder than its agriculture. A
little cooperation and support now
may save a great deal later on.

We lost ours at the circus. If you took your

Balloons that used to come with a peck of
candy kisses for a nickel were bargains at
thirty-five cents. Luke warm cokes were
fifteen cents outside. jumped to twenty under
the big top. and probably were a flat two
bits at the Wild West Show. We couldn't af-
ford to stay and see.
Penny snowballs went at fifteen cents, cot

were the same, a tired hot dog too poor to
bark held out for twenty cents. We failed to
learn the price of a glass of water but fresh
air was not available at any price in the
packed tents.
But the kids enjoyed it. And we didn't
mind eating hamburgers all the week.

Armistice Day. 1916

Those years saw the history of World War
repeated, but on a larger and more destruct-
i've scale, but they did not see the track OF
mans feet along the broad path of tolerance,
understanding and human kindness taught
1916 years ago by Christ a path that
could lead to the peace we seek.
We see now the same forces, the same
hates, suspicious and greed, building into the
same pattern that followed World War /.
The aftermath of that first conflict had its
League of Nations, which was emasculated
and made impotent by the very nations that
formed it. We have now our United Nations,
and unless we can make it strong and Wig
orous. a solid and effective force for world
peace, and world justice, we will see the
events and circumstance now crystallizing
into historic patterns lead in fifteen, twenty
or twenty-five years to World Wan III, the
Atomic War, which may well mark the
end of mans civilization.
Faced with this possibility, We might well
use Monday as a day to open our hearts to
those teachings of Christ tolerance, un-
derstanding and human kindness. which
alone can form a foundation on which world
peace can be built.

In the death of Governor Thomas L.
Bailey Mississippi lost a chief executive
whose greatest qualities were his kindness
and common touch. Governor Bailey devoted
q of his 58 years to the service of his state,
and during his career was a strong factor in
the adoption of many of his states policies
that are now leading to a higher standard of
living for its people. He had a firm faith in
Mississippi. its future and its people, a faith
so strong that it was contagious, and one
could not be long with him without sensing
the depth and firmness of it. With his faith
he sold Mississippi to Mississippians.
Governor Bailey was a gentle man in the
true sense of the word, a gentle man almost
to the point of fault at times. 1t was this
gentleness. born of his deep religious faith,
that endeared him to the hearts of MISSISSIPPI
plans in all walks of life, and will give him a
tender place in their memories for years to
come.

A release came over our desk
this week that began like this:
ID. M DeShazo, president,
Singing River Electric Power
Association, announced today
that the REA-financed cleo
trio cooperative has employed
Mrs. Helen N. Names, a gradu-
ate horne economist, as home
adviser.
Nothing very startling about
that. announcement-or partie-
ularly interesting-unless you
know the background of the
Singing Rive Association.
I'VE have had this in mind

went On, land have been wait
ing to secure a person with the
necessary qualifications. We
believe that Mrs. Names will
be of great assistance to our
entire membership in her work
of advising homemakers and
others on the selection, use,
and care of electrical appli-
ances."
1t just happens that the re-
lease answered a question we
had heard asked by a mer-
chant in Pascagoula a few days
before.
"Where is the demand for
things like appliances coming
from?," this gentleman asked,
Il know that a lot of things
wore out during the war, but
some stuff is going out every
day and yet the demand gets
greater all the time, It's the
same way with meat, furniture,
and everything else"
Strangely enough, the an
swer to his question about ap-
planes, new cars, etc, lies in
the Singing River release and

raj Identification, Associations

1t makes folks in Wade, Hur-

1t IS also a v%indication of the
policies of the late, great
Franklin D.. Roosevelt, who en-
visioned an economy in which
all could share in the better
things of life.
Less than a decade ago, pedS

importance OF Voting

School District will go to the polls and cast
their ballot. We favor the stadium, but we
hope ever those who are against it will make
their voice heard.
Staying away from the polls, is a vote
against the stadium. We want that under
stood. But your failure to vote makes you a
negative, impotent force, without the courage
of your convictions and the interest in your
children and community that would force
you to register your will. If it is possible for
you to vote-and you don't-you temper
arily nullify your citizenship.
We have heard no active opposition to the
movement to build a stadium dedicated to
the memory of World War II veterans. But
we have heard too few people talking for it
and we think it is the duty of all persons to
make up their minds. And vote their con-
~victions.
We recommend that you go out and vote
for the stadium. But above all, we recon-
mend that you go out and vote. This apathy
toward voting has cost many people in his
tory their freedom. 1t could happen here.

Capital Comment

Selection of the Unknown
Soldier of World War / was
one OF the most dramatic in
ciden.s in military history. Few
mon have had greater honors
paid them in death.

partmect gave Instructions Cor

identified body at each of the
four American military ceme-
teries in France where men
were buried after they had
fallen on the four major fronts
of World War l.
Three Quartermaster offic-
eys ard one Infantry officer
were sent to each of these
cemeteries under sealed or
dcrs, which when opened in
structed them to select the
body Of one soldier. Since this
soldier was identified by num-
Der Only, the orders contained
a number picked at random.
Alternate numbers were pro-
vided IN the event that if an
exhun.ed body contained the
slightest identification, it could
be yetpried and q second one
selected.
