Professor Surtaoe suggests that to
rid land of weeds it should be plant
ed for a couple of years with some
crop which can be hntd or cultivated
and that Weeds should not be allowed
to go to seed. An esjieclRlly bad
weed is the Horse Nettle, which fs
closely related to the potato. It
sharp spinas keep cattle or sheep
T10111 eating it and thus it usurps the
ground around It grows very dense
and .excludes other vegetation. In
Maryland entire farms have been
lbandoned because of it.

TESTING THE : '

Census Director -Durand will
follow the plan pursued
in 1000.. '
Washington, D. C, October'I9,
1909 U. 8. Census Director E.
Dana Durand stated to-dny that the
primary responsibility for securing
ffIc,hMit, enumerators must rest tvlth
the supervisors of the census.
;'Jt; has. been suggested from time
to time," said the director, "that
moire efficient enumerators mlf,ht be
secured by competitive examination

donbt that if the expense and time
required wore not prohibitive, it
would be advantageous to-hold such

Incompetent enumerators as the super

through dversight,- may happen to
choose. At tle last census the enum

It may. be wise to make the teat at
the fa-csent census a trifle more severe
than at the twelfth census-. At best,
however, such an examination can
do no. more than eliminate those who
Lcannot write plainly and who are
ctearly lacking In au understanding
at their duties. It can do little to
assure the selection of men of indue,
try, tact, or honesty. The judgraeqt
jfficieneyj and integrity of the super
visors mast be the puine relipnoe for

"It may not be in ipprnpriale here
lO explain the reason why to called
pollcitical recommeodationa must be
sought in the appointment ot super
visors In most of the districts. Th
supervisor, in order to do his work
properly must be a resident of lh
district over which he has charge
The position Is not one which can be
filled by divil service examination
A supervisor should be a nan o
executive ability, suoh as no cxamin
anon can test, ana ne should be a
man well known In his community
Indeed, men of the type di sired
would not in most instances be wilh
ing to submit themselves to a oivil
service examination. Neither the
Director of the Census, his superior
officer, the Secretary ,of Commerce
and Labor, nor ihe President,, can
postlbly have personal acquaintance
throughout the country with - men
suitaoie to nil these pitlons, nor
even with men, outside of political
positions, whose advice they can
aeek.-- The representative of the dfs
trict in Congress or the pa'ty leaders
In the district have the necessary
knowledge of local conditions and lo
cal men, and It Is not only natural
but practically neoessirry as a matter
of good administration that'thev
should be asked to make recommen
dations for positions of this character.
"Fortunately, members of Con
gress and party leaders are coming
more and more to appreciate tho im
portance of aocurate census statistic.
The-spoils idea of appointments is
growing . constantly less dominant
The Director of the Census has done
everything possible to impress upon
throe whose opinions were asked re
garding the Bupervisorsblps, the im
portance of the. necessity of having
men of marked executive ability and
