DESTROY WHITE TOP SEEDS BY PLOWING, SAYS PURDUE EXPERT
numbers 60,00 with an annual production of 125 million bushels, said Mr. Oyler, another of the solicitors who was present. Texas and Colorado have Just joined the campaign, and the complete organization system has Just been initiated within the last month, so that even greater speed is expected.
STILLINGER SEEKING
COMMITTEEMAN'S JOB
A remedy for the troublesome whitetop as well as for olhers of the worst weed pesta, and an explanation of the state seed labelling law. were given by A. A. Hansen of Purdue at a meeting of the Wayne township farmers' association in the courthouse Tuesday night. ....
White-top, which is prevalent in Wayne county, may be killed by plowing at the proper time, said the speaker. Rosettes, or clumps of leaves
form on the plant near the ground in
the fall and it lives over until the next year when seeds are formed. These seeds are microscopic in size, and contained in a withered husk, so large In comparison to the seed, that it appears to be empty, causing many larmers to believe that the weed produces no seed. The presence of a white-top infesta
tion in a field, especially in oats or meadows where it is most troublesome, can be detected by looking for the rosettes in spring. If present, the weed will be found in the crop, and may take the ground, if no other cultivation than discing is given. As discing is usually the only preparation tor oats, the spread of the weed has been easy. If many weeds- are found, however, the ground should be plowed and the fields will be freed within one year. Advises Mowing Persistent mowing of fence rows and of road sides was strongly urged by Mr. Hansen, who presented start
ling figures as to the speed with which such weed centers may infest clean
fields. The Russian thistle produces a million seeds to a plant. A count made personally by Mr. Hansen of a number of oxeye daisies also showed an average of 5,000 seeds to a plant. The best method for killing weeds by mowing, requires two mowings, one in the middle of June and one about the middle of August. During the June mowing, the sickle bar should be carried about six inches above the ground. Many weeds will
form heads close to the surface if cut off close but this method allows such weeds to send out new 6hoots that grow to a height where they can be reached by the second mowing. Which is made close to the ground. No seeds have time to form after the last mowing. ; Discusses Seed Law - The new Indiana seed law was the first subject discussed by Mr. Hansen. Before passage of this law last year, Indiana was the dumping ground for all poor, dirty and impure seed in the country, he stated. The law does not exclude such seed now, but requires truthful tagging, so that the buyer may know what he i3 getting. Enforcement of the law rests with the same force, and the same methods are used, as for enforcing the feed and fertilizer tagging laws.
Farmers muft read the label3 and choose their seed, stated Mr. Hansen, for the law to be of any benefit in cleaning up the weeds. Seeds should be bought which have not more than 150 to 200 weed seeds per pound and on no account should the worst weeds, dodder or Canada thistle, be brought onto farms in any seeds. Examination to find what makes up the impurity of seeds is more important than looking for a high percent of purity, said the speaker. A sample lag of 99 percent pure red clover seed was shown in comparison with another tag which showed only a 94 percent
ouritv. The 99 percent sample con
tained 2.240 buckhorn seeds, 180
bracted plantaan, 90 Canada ' thistle
and 90 dodder per pound. On the
other hand, the 94 percent sample
also of red clover, contained only 45
buckhorn and 45 curled dock seed3 per pound, the rest of the impurity being alfalfa, sweet clover, broken .seed and dirt. Cites Example. As an example of the infestation possible from a sample containing weed seeds, Mr. Hanson cited an analysis of a sample such as it is not unusual to receive at the laboratories. This sample had 3.3 percent weed seed. There were 5,150 buckhorn seeds, 2.220 plantain, 90 bracted plantain, and 10 dodder seeds in a pound. With an eight-pound seeding per acre, there would be, in a square rod, 292
buckhorn, 121 plantain, four bracted plantain, and on every other rod, a dodder plant. Mr. J. E. Scholl, manager of the United States Grain Growers' membership campaign in the county, made an explanation of the corporation and its plans, preliminary to the Wayne township campaign just starting. He reported that 80 per cent of the acreage in Center township, 90 per cent in Abington and 75 to 80 per cent in Boston, has been eigned up, with several land owners yet to be visited. That the company contemplates an exorbitant price fixing policy or could make it effective, was denied by Mr. Scholl. who pointed out that excessive
prices would mean a new grain acreage and supplies which would wreck
high prices.

TO RUSH BILL
(Continued from Page One.)
health service; Dr. William A. Wh,ite, superintendent of St. Elizabeth's hospital, Washington; and Charles H. Burke, commissioner of Indian affairs. Bill Approved After several conferences this commission approved the hospital appropriation bill which has just been sub
mitted to the house, which provides that the director of the veterans' bureau, with the approval of the president, shall have control not only over the location' of hospitals but of the money authorized by the measure.
Hitherto, supervision over hospitals j has been vested with the U. S. public health service. "There is urgent need for additional beds for sick and disabled former service men. especially those suffering from tubercular and mental and
nervous diseases," Representative Elliott says. "There were in hospitals government, private and contract on February . 23. 1922, a total of 30,87! patients. Of this number, 21,772 were in government institutions. Of these 12,274 were victims of tuberculosis, 9,069 neuropsychriatic and 9,536 general medical and surgical cases. Situation Worse. "It appears that the hospital situation has grown 6teadily worse," Mr. Elliott continued, "for the reason that a far greater number of men hav applied for treatment than was an
ticipated. Consequently the government has been forced recently to use
buildings of a temporary character
some of them non-fireproof and unsuitable for hospital purposes. Today
there are more than. 4,000 neuropsychariatic patients in contract hospi
tals receiving inadequate care. However, in spite of the disadvantages of
contract hospitalization, it has been
absolutely necessary to continue to
employ it until the needed government
facilities are made available. May Require More
When the new hospital bill was first framed it carried on appropriation of $16,000,000. Director Forbes, of the
veterans' bureau, stated that a few
hundreds thousand dollars more might
be required. "What's the use of splitting up
few hundred thousand dollars where the care of injured soldiers is con
cerned?" asked Chairman Langley, of
the public buildings and grounds com
mittee. "Let's make the appropria tion $17,000,000 and do the job right.'
And the appropriation was increased
to that amount by the committee mem
bers without further ado.
I Under the new hospital bill it is the
nurDose or the veterans Dureau to
erect seven or eight new institutions
at sites not yet announced.

common council, and the committee on
