THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MONDAY, JANUARY 26, 1981 - Cellulose Looms As Combatant of Weeds in Guluitated Fields ||. SOLUTION SPRAYED ON GROUND FORMS SKIN-LIKE COATING Cannot Be Dissolved or Washed Away but May Be Peeled After Harvest PROCESS IS IMPRACTICABLE | Weeds Which Have (Weak Ger- minating Power Are Choked, Tests Indicate Berlin, Jan. 26.—(#)—Eradicting weeds from a field under cultivation may become an easy, inexpensive matter with a cellulose spraying de- vice invented by Arthur Streich, Ber- lin engineer: By spraying a field with one part of cellulose diluted with 10 parts of water, a continuous tough skin ad- hering tightly to the ground is pro- duced. This cannot be dissolved or washed away by rain, but it can be peeled off the ground easily after the har- vest. The cost is estimated at one-fourth to one-half cent per square yard for a coating half a milimeter thick. Proved by Tests Tests have shown that it chokes weeds which have weak germinating power, and hence obviates weeding and ridging work. At the same time it insures aricher and better harvest of the crop planted, Streich says, not only be- cause the nutriment in the ground becomes available solely for the use- ful plants, but also because moisture ‘and heat absorbed by the earth are prevented from evaporating or es- caping. The paper cover thus serves to store heat and moisture so the tem- perature remains practically uniform even during the nigh. The -dea of killing weeds by cover- ing them up did not originate with Streich, the inventor pointed out. His spraying process is an adaptation of a principle first employed by an American, Charles E. Eckart, Hono- qulu. Eckart's method of covering the fields with tough wood paper is ex- pensive, Streich said. For spreading this paper, especially constructed paper-laying machines pulled by horses or motors had to be devised. “Over $500,000 are axpended an- nually on Hawaii for this paper cov- ering process,” Streich said. “Such enormous outlays are not prohibitive or unprofitable in Hawaii, where there are two harvests a year. Process Is Impracticable H “For general use, however, this} process is impracticable, not only be-| cause of the price, but also owing to} the fact that fastening the paper to the ground with clips, pegs, sand, or stones is a tiresome and time-con- suming process which, after all, of- fers no guarantee that, in the event of wind or storm, the covering will not tear or be removed entirely.” Streich’s spraying method, he says, is applicable to all useful plants ex- cept cereals. To the cellulose may be added, besides water, any other substances necessary as soil ingredi- | ents, such as lime or potash. For planting seeds or young plants, holes must be pierced through the cellulose layer in the same manner in which they are now cut into the paper covering in Hawaii, The! watering of the plants is likewise done through these holes. Minneapolis Woman | Beats Off Attacker Minneapolis, Jan. 26.—()—Trailed | and ambushed by a thug Friday night, @ young woman attacked in the dark- ness of an unlighted corner, beat off her assailant and fled to her home. In another attack, a man was beaten, scratched and robbed of $35 by another man and woman. A sus- pect was detained by police three hours later. Ora Gibbs was the victim of the other attack. Walter Hommas was picked up for questioning after Gibbs reported the attack. The woman still is sought. Gibbs said he met the man a few cat ago. Friday night he was asked to go for a ride with a woman and the man. On the dark street, the man reached over and turned off the ignition. He demanded $50. Gibbs retused and both attacked him he told police and when he was nearly unconscious, they searched him, took his pocketbook and a bunch of keys and pushed him! out of the car and drove away. { Montana House Favors) 5 Cent Gasoline Tax Helena, Mont., Jan. 26.—()—Mon- tana's five cent gasoline tax will re- main in effect until 1941 if the sen- passed the extension bill by a vote of 80 to 0 with 21 absent and not voting. ‘The tax, under the present law, is ipt| Fargo, spoke at the annual meeting | eninge ‘vnere one thother “Tung lives.

He succeeds A. F. Neinas, Thompson. Warren Dodds, Lisbon, publisher of the Northern Livestock Breeder, was re- elected secretary. Directors named at the session are E. L. Tarr, Walco! Marsden, Hendrum, Minn.; Bert Scott, Fargo; and Robert Heine, Ellendale. Frank Hyland, Devils Lake, president of the state Livestock Breeders association, was chairman of the meeting. Although the demand for all hog products has fallen off during -the past year, pork has been ina rela- tively much better position than wheat and corn, John H. Noble, of Armour and company, Chicago, told the swine men, and urged them to stay in the game and not shift in and out, as indications point to a stabilized pro- duction of pork. Sanitation and bal- anced rations are the two important elements in profitable pork produc- tion, he pointed out. There were 26 individual North Dakota farmers entered in the ton litter pork contest, and these farmers raised 35 ton litters, George J. Baker, extension animal husbandman, stated in reviewing the extension service swine projects. In a pork production contest 12 farmers completed the Project. 4) ATTEND MEETING OF HOLSTEIN GROUP Dr. Wells; Harvey, Reelected President of State Associ- ation at Convention Fargo, N.
