tli'SOS $ PROGU9SS AND FACTS There are many farmers in Polk and adjoining counties wbo nave cat down or plowed under front five to tftree hun dred acres of grahrthis year becaipse taken by weeds and mostly by die sow thistleseed grain and labor lost. Many more acres, in justice to the~farmers themselves and to their neighbors, should have been cut down. What -is true of Polk is true of other northern counties. The HBVMUQT Let.it not be forgotten that order to free ourselves from the pest there is only one way in which real progress can be made and that is by not allow ing any sow thistles to mature seed. No crop should be sown that does not ripen before the sow thistle does, or that can not be cleaned with the hoe or by spe cial cultivation after it has been "hud by." Fall rye, oats seed in the spring for hay, or millet may all be harvested before the sow thistle heads out and may therefore safely be seeded on sow thistle polluted ground. No crops that do not ripen before the sow thistle does should be sown because the seed from infested fields will pollute cleanf tracts. Only clean ground should be sown to wheat and oats. Fieds quite badly in fested may be planted to corn or pota toes, and the sow thistles that remain after the cultivation, pulled or cut out. If there is more sow-thistle polluted land that can be seeded to rye or to any other crops that will head off the sow thistles it should be idle and the pest taken care of. The problem is to raise no sow-thistles infested fields of grain to pollute clean fields. This is possible, nor will it work a hardship, nor* will it reduce the acreage of crops. Why sow where experience has taught we cannot reap! A-mowed down field Same Old Story Bat a Good One Mrs. Mahala Burns, Savanna, Mo., re lates an experience, the like of which has happened in almost every neighbor hood in this country, and has been told and related by thousands of others, as follows: "I used a bottle of Chamber Iain's Colic and Diarrhoea Bemedy about nine years ago and it cored me flux (dysentery). I had another at tack of the same complaint three or four years ago and a few does of this remedy cured me. I have recommended it to dozens of people since I first used ft and shall continue to do so for I know it is a, quick and positive cure for bowel troubles." S^T!E^S is worse than an idle field: it means National bank review, stated. The turn a positive money and labor loss. To allow an infested field to go to seed means to perpetuate the evil. It is not business and no real farmer will witt ingly do so. If every farmer will see to it that no sow-thistle infested field is allowed, to produce a crop of seed the evil will be a thing of the past in five years. If not, there will be an endless battle, with the sow thistles the victor. A Look Ahead Agriculture today, in this part of the Red River "Valley, has one foot in the grave. Shall it die as a profitable busi ness, or shall farming in the future as in the past be a calling of profit: shall it again be a pleasure to farm or shall it continue a siekening pastime? The farming public must thoroughly grasp the fact that if the Red River Valley, about which we have boasted so much, is again to be a safe farming section for every farmer and for his neighbor, with its sea of shimmering golden grain, the yellow menace of the fields must be throttled. This can be done without a money loss and without any additional labor and without a crop loss. It must be done and begun now by planning a cropping system that will prevent the pest from seeding. Any other system will get us nowhere. John Meissner. Weed Inspector. Polk County, Minnesota.
