Last Saturday afternoon the second
team OF the high school met the first

combat on the gridiron at Ithaca. Our

owing TO the fact that seven OF Alma g

ing of the herds affected We are
Obliged to face the fact tina; there are
only two courses to pursue" he says.
Either the diseased animals must all
be killed OF and the contagion stamped
out Immediately. thus relieving the
state quarantine restrictions at the ear
liest possible moment. or We must sit
down and watch the disease and try by
quarantine to prevent its spreading.
Up to the present time 1900 head Of
cattle have been slaughtered in Massa-
chusetts and If the work goes on as
II should, with continued cooperation
from the state officials and with a
friendly public sentiment. all of the
known infected herds should be killed
and disposed of within the next week
or ten days. There is every reason to
believe that this will be accomplished"

Lima Bean Growing in California.
While the lima bean is grown in

and in counties adjacent thereto. on

Low Headed Fruit Trees.

From Farmers Review: In reply to
your request for an expression Of our
opinion concerning the low-heading Of

only about ten trees by the tornado in
the spring. and these trees were In
variably those that had been injured
in other ways. Our orchards escaped
almost entirely and doubtless we owe
this escape. in part at least, to the
low-heading of our trees. The points
mentioned BY Senator Dunlap Is ad-
vantageous in this method are certain
ly well taken. In the heavy storm Of .
few weeks ago our pears still on the
trees were 20 ripe that about 800 bush.

the thousands Of bushels this was not
large proportion. A small percent
age Of apples on our trees were shak-

to be in proper bearing yet. and can.
not be taken as fair test Of what
would have happened had they been
larger and loaded with fruit. The
thousands Of peach trees in the or
chard passed through the spring tor
nado almost without injury. and prob
ably the low heading Of the trees had
much to do with this. However, the
heavy fringe Of timber which sur.
