Canada Thistles,
For some years past great efforts
have been made to exterminate the
farmers pest, Canada thistles, but
without success, Mr. Philip Cryder,
who owns the best farm in Centre
county, utterly destroys them by plow-
ing them under in the fall. In the
spring he works the ground again and
sows it in buckwheat. When the
buckwheat gets in blossom he plows it
under and in the fall he sows the spot
in wheat and that puts to death the
thistle.

Representative Womelsdorf, of Cen-

Legislature for the formation of a new
county out of the bituminous coal dis-

bituminous coal miners’ county, and
would undoubtedly be of great benefit
to that district. The division would
make Clearfield and Centre more
