FREEING LAND PERMANENT
LY FROM NUT GRASS
> '“ls there anything to be done
that will permanently rid land of
nut grass?”
Yes. Destroy it and never allow
it to grow and seed. That is what
i have done on a large garden.
My garden was a mat of nut grass
when I bought the place. Today
there is no nut grass and there has
been none for years except one
spring when 1 bought some man
ure infested with nut grass seed,
and it grew as thickly as wheat
or eats. This was easily destroyed
as it had made no nuts. It was
destroyed as fast as it showed and
the garden was again clean of nut
grass. On the farm the plant can
be destroyed and the land kept
clean of it if a rotation of crops is
followed that brings in smother
ing crops of clover and other
things in the fall and winter and
peas in summer. If crops are laid
jby and nothing sowed, the nut
gi'Atss seeds late in fall and thou
sands of plants come from seed to
every one that grows from the
nuts. Spring plowing, summer
clean cultivation, fall plowing
and sowing a smothering crop and
winter cover, and never a chance
left for the nut grass to get a
start, will drive it out and keep it
out. Good farmers here are not
bothered with it. but some fields
are full of it. A friend, a lawyer,
showed me a place on a farm of
his that is cultivated by tenants
and of course not tiled the best.
It was thick with nut grass and
Bermuda glass. The field was in
corn. I told him that if he would
look carefully be would see that
where the Bermuda and sedge
known as nut grass were most
plentiful, there was the best corn
in the field. Simply because while
he was neglecting to maintain the
humus in the soil. Nature was try
ing to furnish some through the
rapid growth of these plants and
the necessity for the farmer to
work faster to keep out of the
grass. In most eases on farms the
presence of nut grass is due to the
absence of a rotation that puts
smothering crops between all sale
crops and keeps the land so
crowded with valuable crops that
the nut grass has no chance. Some
here have found that sweet pota
toes will smother nut grass out as
well as any other crop and can be
successfully grown on the same
land for several years.

THE FARMER WHO DOESN T
GET ALONG.”
We visited the home of a farmer
the other day who doesn’t “get
along;” in other words, a farmer
who has never made money and
is not likely to make any. In the
example of futile farming this
man gives to the world, there are
many lessons that the open-mind
ed agriculturist may learn to pro
fit.
The millstone about this man’s
neck is his metal life or attitude.
If anything goes wrong with a
machine, the fault, in his estima-
tion, is always with the machine
and not wdth Ids method of oper
ating it. ov the condition of the
land, or the machine's state of re
uaiit Jf P°ot‘ results are obtained
from labor, lie questions tlie interi-'
lions, integrity, lionestv and char
acter of every man under his sup
ervision. lie cannot st-e that lie
himself is at fault for “rubbiljg
folks the wrong way.” A failure
is corrected on this farm by a
tongue-lashing, garnished with
profanity, for any man or machine
that takes part in a failure or a
mistake.
All this would he laughable if
it were not so tragic—-did it not
show a spirit so utterly hopeless
and pitiful. And. worst of all, this
mental disease has a hold on many
many farmers besides the one we
mention.
But how different are condi
tions on the farms where mana
gers have an inquiring mind and
a confidence that every obstacle
may he overcome. If the riding
cultivator doesn’t work, is the
machine itself in for a cursing?
Not at all. Inquiry or investiga
tion is made to see what is the
trouble. It may be that the ground
is too rocky, or that the land has
been well prepared, or that some
adjustment is needed. The condi
tion that stands in the way to suc
ceed is sought out and obliterated,
and the use of the machine itself
not abandoned. Many good imple
ments all over the farming world
are stored away and branded fail
ures simple because the owner
has not gone to the trouble to
find out why they did not do the
work they were intended to per
form.
In this way the wise agricultur
ist will seek the cause of every
failure, whether of man, or beast,-
or implement, and for him there
is bound to he a true success in
deed.
We would not dare ask that you
tell us to which class of farmers
you belong. It’s none of our busi
ness. But you should ask the ques
tion of yourself and then answer
it honestly in secret. If a change
of mental attitude will enable you
to make more money, enjoy great
er happiness, and revel in a
“peace that passeth understand
ing’’—then why deny yourself
these things?—The Progressive
Farmer.

TWO SHORT SERMONS—By
Charles Stelzle.
t f
“TO BIND IT THE BROKEN
HEARTED.”
Comfort is one of the world’s
grfcctest needs, and yet it is one of
the world’s rarest gifts. *
When sorrow enters in, what
has the world to offer? Nothing—
it withdraws. It closes the curtain
It shuts the door. It leaves us
alone.
It doesn’t even know how to
mourn, and so in some countries it
hires men to mourn—professional
ly.
It puts crape on the door, and
adds gloom to the heart—it re
signs.
It has no mission. Even its com
mittees stand mute—they don’t
know what to say.
Its pleasures recede—they do
not function. They mock. They
hurt. They make one heart-sick.
At such an hour f'hi istianitv
knocks at Ihe door.- Jt comes in.
It sits down—“to comfoft
mourn, to bind up the brokeit j
hearted.”
This is the program of Christ
ianity. This is why it wins, for it
lias almost a monopoly of comfort.

‘‘FINDING GOD”
Christianity is the result of Clod
seeking man. AH other religions
are the result of man seeking God.
Men have looked for God in ev
ery hush, in every tree, in the eyes
of annuals, in the sun, the stars,
the moon—in the idols which they
themselves created.
But Christianity was horn when
God sent Christ into the world
