VERY QUIET IN POLITICS
Not Much Interest Taken in the
County Campaign.
1T WILL WARM UP SOON
Firm Belief Prevails That the Democrats
WIN Sweep h County. and That
The Fusion Aggregation VIII Not
Elect O Single Man..

The present political campaign in
Deer Lodge county is undoubtedly the
quietest that the county has ever seen.
Here IL is less than a month before the
election and nobody il saying a word.
some of the candidates are doing con-
siderable work. but they are doing IL
quietly, and there is an entire absence
OF the stir that is always a part Of po-
litical campaigns.
II is expected hat next week will see
something Of a stir made. Next week
some of the candidates are going out
for a little taunt owe to Deer Lodge
and the northern part of the county.
where they will tell their troubles to
the voters Of those regions. Then. too.
some Of the candidates and speakers
in support of the state ticket are head
ed for Anaconda. and there will be rail-
lies and meetings and the like. When
the campaign Is really opened and the
fighting begins in earnest. IL viii on
tinue up to the day of election.
One of the reasons assigned for the
lack Of interest in the local field Is that
the situation in Butte claims the at
tention of so many. who would other
wise take a more active part in coun-
ty political affairs. Again. there Is the
conviction that the democratic ticket
Is so strong In this county hat the
silver republican n populist fusion
aggregation stands no show whatever.
II IL a hopeless campaign for the fusion
people and they realize Il, and for that
reason they let affairs shape their own
course without much of an attempt to
change the situation.
County Attorney Trippet returned
yesterday from a legal business trip TO
Helmville M the northern part of the
county. When asked II there was any
thing new in the political outlook up
that way. he said that there was an en-
tire lack Of interest. and that Of all the
people he met not more than half a
dozen men even mentioned the subject
of politics. Those who did talk politics.
however. all expressed the belief that
h democratic ticket from top to bot
tom Is as good as elected now.
The registration of voters for this
falls election will begin one week from
next Monday. Oct. "a, and will continue
up to and including Oct. %. The no.
tees OF the registration agents for the
different districts in his vicinity will be
found in another column. The notices

PrOductlveness of Cuba.

The State Department has just issued
timely and interesting report from our
late consul at Santiago de Cuba. The
islands area, he says, about equals the
State Of Pennsylvania, and its produc-
tive soil, mineral wealth and climatic
conditions entitle 1t to rank among the
foremost communities Of the world. The
soil is marvel Of richness, and fertil-
izers are seldom used, unless in the
growth Of tobacco, even though the
same crops are grown on the same land
for hundred years, as has happened in
some Of the old sugar cane fields. The
mountains are of coral formation, but
much of the lowland seems to be COM
posed largely of fossils of sea matter
from prehistoric times, and Is thus ex-
tremely rich in lime and phosphate. Al
though settled fifty years before the
United States, Cuba still has 13,O00,0 900
acres of primeval forest, containing ma
hogany, cedar, logwOOd ebony, lignum
vitae and other valuable woods. II all
the. land in Cuba suitable to the growth
of sugar were devoted to that industry,
it is estimated that the island might
supply the entire western hemisphere
with that article. She has already pro-
duced for export in single year, mil
lion tons and her capabilities in that
line have been only in the experimental
stage. The adaptabiiity Of the soil to
tobacco culture has long been known,
and Cuba takes great pride In the quail
ity OF her coffee; until the war her cof-
fec plantations were Ia a tiOurishing

A bulletin prepared by L. H. Dewey,
Assistant Botanist of the national De-
partment Of Agriculture, is just being
issued by that Office and will prove Of
interest and benefit to almost every
farmer. Everyone is familiar with the
slender, yellow tendrils Of the field dod-
der, which tWines on the low branches

ishment through minute suckers which
penetrate the part of the host plant,
Dodder seeds are generally introduced
with impure clover or alfalfa seed, or
distributed with hay. The seed germi-
mates under much the same conditions
as clover seed, but instead Of two leaves
appearing above the ground, there is a
very slender, inconspicuOus yellow
shoot. This bends to one side; then
swings slowly around, lengthening

the seed; but if the swinging shoot
comes against a genial host plant it
twines about it and draws life force from
that plant, dwarfng, and in many cases,
especially in cloVers, killing it. AS
soon as the upper part becomes well
established on the living plant, branches
are produced, which wave slowly about
like the first shoot, looking for more
worlds to conquer. By the time the
first host plant attacked has died, these
new branches of the pirate are well
established. Thus the dodder lives on,
dying behind as its support is destroyed
and pushing its branches in an direc-
tions to attack new plants Dodder seeds
will ripen with clover seeds and it Is al
most impossible to remove them by
cleaning. 1t is not safe, Mr.. Dewey says,

reach the age for killing, they are for

of which are within 200 miles of the
packing-houses, and after stay there

Alfalfa, or Lucerne," is a twenty-page
pamphlet prepared by Mr. Jared G.
Smith, Assistant in the Division of
Grasses. Mr.. Smith treats interestingly
Of this important forage crop, which has
been cultivated for more than twenty
centuries. He describes its habits of
growth and gives directions for it's cul-
tivation, specifying the results learned
through the department from expert
ments and reports received from all Sec
tions Of the country; also of its value
as feed and for sOiling and its very
great Importance as a soil renovator.
Alfalfa, being similar to clover, gathers
its nitrogen from the air and thus adds
largely to the fertility of the farm,
whether used as food or green crop.
COW PEAS.
Mr.. Smiths name is also attached to
a ten-page pamphlet on cow peas, an
other leguminous crop Of great value to
the American farmer. This plant is to
the South what alfalfa is to the West
and red clover to the North. It's value
is coming to be more generally recog-
niged in Northern States, where 1t is
being Of late quite extensively grown.
