Dy 12 R Cox t:
The only successful methods for the
eradication of bindweed must be based
on the suppression of all top growth-
In order to starve out the underground
parts A great many farmers are look-
Ins for some easy method of killing
the bindweed and In the meantime are
letting It cover the fields and festoon
the trees of the orchard They are
' looking for some magic “remedy” that
will completely eradicate the - weed
with a small amount of exertion on
their part It must be understood that
such a formidable enemy as this weed
' requires haroio treameat Other farm-
V have gone at the problem lees
heedlessly as In the case of a man
who followed the root of a plant to the
depth of four feet and then applied
n large quantity of aalt in the hole
Various methods have been tried
to keep down the top growth and

hence starve out the underground
parts Thera are three methods that
have given satisfactory results name-
ly -clean cultivation alfalfa growing
and hog pasturing There are other
methods that have been tried hut not
with ' a largq measure of success
These Inelude the placing of building
paper beet pulp' apple pomace straw
or manure on the ground to smother
the weed growth and also the appli-
cation of chemicals Conditions in lr-
rigated regions are complicated by the
fact that bindweed U often' allowed
' to grow along irrigation ditches the

BASKET YILLOW
American Soil Wilt Adapted to
Tree and Wide Opportunities
‘ ' for Article Mode from It
-By W F HubUrd
Willow growing gives an uncom-
monly high margin of profit A large
demand for willow is now supplied by
Import and at American-grown rods
are of good quality when proper care
la taken la their culture there Is no
reason Why tbq farther development
of the Industry should not be possible
If more American farmers can be con-
vinced of Its practicability
Of late 'years willow furniture has
sprung into fashion and to-day no
minor Industry Is more prosperous
than that devoted to Its supply The
wages are good and the manufacturers
demand a steady supply of superior
willow
This In now almost entirely received
from France at a price which will give
' the entire trade to the American If he
-can equal the quality 1
Great care ahould be taken In the
selection of the willow beds Rich per-
manently moist sandy loam gives beet
returns though ordinary moist sandy
- land often yields profitable crops of
willows -
Poor noils produce paying crops
where there Is a market for short
rods Avoid land on which water Is
stagnant ' daring the summer If by
drainage the water level on such land
can be lowered at leaat six feet be-
low the surface the situation may be
considered appropriate
- Do not plant willows In localitiea
where early froets occur The tender
shoots are easily injured by the
sold - -
Plow ten or twelve Inches deep In
the’ fall prior to planting the follow-
ing spring This turns the top layer
f the toll so deep that weed seede
cannot spring up
- If rain ts insufficient Irrigate the wil-
low bed If possible but - thorough
drainage muet he provided as water
must not stand on the surface It is
best also ' to keep the land well
trained during the winter
Returns depend very largely upon
the method of culture hut more upon
the variety of the wlUow planted be-
cause the shoots of even the best va-
rieties and lu the most suitable soil
grow brittle after the stools become
old
The American green And Welsh wil-
lows are most generally planted The
rods of the former peel readily apllt
:ear'v enow white hard fluxlble
and heavy c
flood times U also a factor In distribu-
ting the seeds and roots to other land
-Bind weed-can be eradicated by
clean cultivation if thorough arisL per-
sistent The esse requires going over
the land once every week or ten daya
during the entire growing season of
the weed which Is between the spring
and fall frosts Two years of this
treatment will accomplish the "result
la most cases and It la probable that
one year will suffice where the plant
does not root too deeply The diffi-
culty la that many farmers wllf not
cultivat as thoroughly as Is neces-
sary Even a small top growth Is
enough to form 'some new - under-
ground growth and rejuvenate 4h old
roots or root stocks thereby parry-
ing the plant over to the nextyeiaon
Cultivation has the further advantage
of Inducing a raptdgdrmlnaUou of all
seeds of the weed Which are In the
soil the young seedlings being prompt-
ly destroyed by the subsequent tillage
Conditions In orchard lands are fench
as to offer a favorable opportunity
to get rid of this weed'or at least so
reduce It that It does not do much
damage - Many orchards use a type
of Implement that has been found
very successful In the control of the
weeds It "consists of a beam resting
on the ground varying In width from
eight to 13 feet with a series of
knives below all Inclined inward Its
draft la light ltmakes a wide eat
It can ba worked close to -the trees
and la comparatively Inexpensive j 1
They have a tendency to branch
however and unless the stools are
planted close together a large percent-
age of the rods branch so much that
they are often unlit for peeled stock
A good basket willow possesses the’
following-characteristics (l) Abil-
ity to yield an annual and uniformly
paying crop of rods - (2) flexibility
(3) productiveness— 1 e many aheota
to each atop! (4) slender and branch-
less rods (5) smooth and white wood
after peeling
Cuttings for plantings ahould be
made from one-year-old shoots Tips
length of the slips la regulated by thy
condition of the solL The richer the'
soil Is the shorter the cutting? may be
Generally they are made eight Inches
long for moist rich' soil and 3k

Poultry In the Orchard
Poultry may ofteV-Vlth advantage
be kept In the orchard This makes
It possible to engage In poultry keep-
ing on a considerable acale without
any cost for land writes James Dry-
den In Farm Press Vjn other words
a double use of the land may be
made The trees'afford shade to the
fowls In warm weathbr It will be
necessary to furnlah’ them ample
green food at all times especially
when tbs apples are on the ground
If no other green food Is -available
they are liable to eat an Injurious
amount of apples On the other hand
poultry is a decided advantage to the
orchard as an aid In the warfare on
Insect enemies
Pay for gtock Destroyed
The legislature Of New Fork hae
been asked to levy an appropriation
for the commissioner of agriculture of
$25000 to pay one-third or the full ap-
praised value of live atock destroyed
on account of foot and mouth disease
and tor the expense of suppressing
and eradicating that disease

The Boat Food for Worksra
The best food for those who work
with hand or brain la never high
priced
The best example of this is found la
Quaker Oats It stands at the top
among foods that supply nourishment
and vigor without taxing the diges-
tion and yet It Is tha least expensive
food one can eat
This great food value and low cost
make it an Ideal food for families who
want to get the greatest good from
what they eat 8
Laborers factory or farm hands fed
plentifully on Quaker Oats will work
better and with less fatigue than if
fed on almost any other kind of food
All of these facta were proved and
very Interesting information about
human foods were gathered by Pro-
fessor Fisher of Tale University In

I offered you every lota of my worldly
possessions? Haven’t I said that you
would never want for anything that
your relatives could come and stay as
long aa they wished that I would
work my fingers hare' for you and
that i would devote my enUre exist-
ence to you?”
“Oh yes you Mid all that" ahe re-
I lied wearily “hut—"

wanted to hear most of all”

After ills Gripps
( “I am much pleased to be able to write and thank
‘you for what Cardui has' done for me” writes Mrs Sarah
) Gilliland of Siler City N G ’
“Last February I had the Grippe which left me lit
bad shape Before that II had been bothered with female
trouble for ten years and nothing seemed to cure ft
- “At ’last I began to take CarduL I have taken only
three bottles but It has 'done me more good than all the
doctors or than any other medicine I ever took”
Tta IVOmanra Tohlc
For the after-effects 1 of any serious illness like the
Grip Cardui is the best tonic you can use
It builds strength steadies the nerves improves the
appetite regulates irregularities and helps bring back the
natural glow of health
Cardui is your best friend if you only knew ft
Think of the thousands of ladies whom Cardui has
helped! What could possibly prevent it from helping you?'
Remember you cannot get the benefit of the Cardui
Ingredients in any other medicine for they are not for sale'
