Lojus and Bradford's
Play Here Tomorrow
The Lojus meet the Battline Brad
fords tomorrow at the league grounds.
Here is the dope: The Lojus should
win.
The tenm is in fine shape for the
contest, and the situation as it exists
in the race for tho pennant is such
that victory is necessary in this game
if the Lojus are to remain among the
possibilities as pennant winners.
The Baby Beavers and WoodlWn
are tied for first place in the league.
These teams will fight off the tie at
Portland tomorrow, and if the Salem
aggregation can win its game with the
Mradfords it will be but one game to
the bad, which is not a hopeless condi
tion of tilings by nny means.

Agricultural College
Finds Two New Weeds
New weeds are uppenring almost ev
ery year in various parts of Washing
ton. These are brought in by trains
and other vehicles, in the packing of
dishes, crockery and the like, and to a
very great extent in impure grass seed.
Some of these weeds last but a short
time, others when once started here
find the conditions for growth favor
able and soon spread over a neighbor
hood and from that to adjoining local
ities. In the case o'f weeds whose seeds
have special means of ' dispersal, as
those carried by the wind, two or three
years time is sufficient for their spread
over wide areas. According to Dr. .
L. Pickett of the Botany department
of the Washington Stnte college, two
introduced weeds have been spreading
very rapidly in the last two or three
years and should be given immediate
attentnon in eastern Washington.,
The first of these is a inustnrd, tech
nically known as Erysimum Komndum,
for which there seems to be no common
name. .This may at times be a "tumb
ling mustard," and somewhat resemb
les the well known "Jim Hill" inust-
ard, "although it is a smaller plant,
with smaller, more erect leaves nod sli -
ghtly. larger and darker vellow flow
ers. Its leaves are 2-3 inches long
narrow, (usually less than i-2 inch
wide)' nearly smooth nnd
"nm "
few bnmd
e leaf margins show
but very short teeth. The pods urV 3
inches long, wide spreading, a little
Inrger and more rigid than those of the
"Jim Hill" mustard.
The plant is usually about 1 foot high
and is very much branched. Lingo
plants may reach 2 1-2 feet; others may
produce seeds when but (i inches hiuli.
The seeds of this plnnt have - been
brought in with clover and other luwu
grass seeds, and as it produces a great
numlier of seeds, it spreads rapidly. It
nlny be controlled or eradicated by care
ful cultivation or close-fiitting to pre
vent seeding, as it lives but one year.
(train stubble should be disced soon
after harvest, AH grass seed should
be examined carefully aim, if seeds of
this pest are found, discarded.
The second weed is also a mustard,
one of the "Pepper grasses" techni-
cnlly known as Lepidium Perfolatum.
This weed has already spread over
much of the Pnlouso and Big Bend re
gions iind the south central part of the
state. It seems well able to thrive un
der the hardest conditions, little mois
ture and the like.
In general form it is similar to the
"Shepsrd's Purse" from which it may
be readily distinguished by its nearly
circular instead of heart-shaped pods.
Its flowers are small and yellowish
green in color. The most striking chi.r
acter is the peculiar form of the leaves.
The lower leaves are all. finely divided
or cut into long and very narrow di
visions, while the upper leaves are
round or heart-shaped and for the most
part are not even notched or toothed.
The bases of the upper leaves are clasp
ing so as to appear to surround th
stems. This weed trows in all sorts of
pmces hs wen as in gardens ami in i nunda today is sure to attract at
