Alfalfa is to be a winner in our east
ern states partly for the reason that
we have been taught that it is diff
cult to grow and must have a first
class chance, Otherwise, like many
new crops, it would have been tried
widely and caressly, and then aban-
doned as hopeless. Thorough prepare
tion has given results, and this crop
has come to stay. But the rather rapid
increase~in area Is due to care in Sc
lecting land for seeding, and especially
to thorough fitting. If the idea is gotten
that alfalfa is the right crop for thin
lands that lack fertility for other
crops, or for heavy. wet land, the fail
ures will bring the crop into disrepute.

Island is close to Gulfport: so is New Orleans, and the inference is obvious. Dr. Kohnke, who is made the sub Ject Of attack in pr. Holt's letter aoove referred to, is also out in a let ter in which he claims that a remark about shooting the first person saving yellow fever was made in a jocuIar way Tn SS to friend, in an ordinary conversation. The friend backs him with strong letter and regrets that he should have repeated it. The gen. eral run of mankind, however. will come to the conclusion that yellow fe- yer Is no joking matter, and that no man, even In jest. is justified in mak- ing such remarks as are credited to the Health Officer of the City of New Orleans.
 Against pr. Kohnke stands the fact that there had been consultations among New Orleans physicians as to. the suspicious cases as early as July 18th, and yet on the 18th inst, he de- mes with all positiveness that there were any cases, and is reported in q paper of the 10th of July as saying:
 Tt is pity that the originators of these stories that do so much harm to the community cannot be found and punished. That individual does more harm than the poor negro who is strung up''
 
 Under the operations of national quarantine law. none of these dangers would exist. The officers in charge at ports or cities would not be influenced by a spirit of commercialism or gov erned by political influences. They would have no local considerations to control them, their highest incentive being strict enforcement of the law
 The great scarecrow of the law be- ing enforced in such a way as to in- jure one section of the country and to benefit another Is occasionally raised to frighten the timid, but those who indulge in such assertions can scarcely be in earnest about it. There has nev- CT arisen d case where the Federal laws have been used for any such pur- pose and it will be difficult to persuade sensible people that the power of the government would ever be used to de- stroy or limit the commerce of one city Tn order to increase that of another. It has been demonstrated time and again that yellow fever can be intro troduced into Southern ports in the face of State and local laws.
 If there had been national between the States, excursions to New Orleans from Vicksburg and Pensacola, would not have been allowed at the time yellow fever was in existence in the first named city last sum mer. Yet that did happen and by that means it has been shown yellow fever was introduced in- to the other two cities. Without dis cussing the mosquito theory further than to express my belief in it, visiting people who were bitten by them in New Or leans became sick at their homes and home mosquitoes being infected car ried it to others and so it spread
 Mankind is the gainer by dispen- ing the idea that the disease lurked In every piece Of goods and in every lump of sugar or salt that came out of a city in which the fever prevailed. It was this kind of folly which caused so much havoc to business, brought ir- to existence shot gun quarantiTAs. worse in many cases than an epid Hnle

failure to make it known. No severe. arraignment of public officials has ap- peared in recent days and the great public in and out of New Orleans will endorse the justice of his criticisms He shows that as late as Jnly 19, the Health Officer of New Orleans declared there was no yellow fever In the city and virtually threatened all who would say there was and on the rine Hospital Service, then in con- trol, one hundred cases. with twenty-one deaths to July 20, 21st. At that time the Marine Hos pital Service estimated that there had been fully two hundred cases.
 Forced to Resign.
 In the last few days pr. souchon, and the other members of the State Board of Health, with one exception, have resigned. This was done In rec ognition of the almost universal de- mand of the press and the people of the State. Their successors are to be appointed by the Governor, and the demand Is urgent that the President of the Board must not be a citizen of New Orleans. Governor Vardaman, of Mississippi. has given notice that he will quarantinne his State agaist New Orleans as early as May next. If any New Orleans physician is made Presi- dent of the Board. It is due to the State Board to say that in an elabor- ate address they deny that any blame attaches to them for spread of the fe- yer. but on the contrary that notice was given as soon as the facts were we'll established. In opposition to this, however, is the acknowledged fact that there had been twenty deaths and two hundred cases before publica- Af foI1 a. 70 yellow fever in New Orleans
 The Board of Health has submitted a report to the Governor which is quite lengthy, and one portion bears directly upon the point of regulation or system. different from that now pre- vailing. It is denied in the report that any information was given to the City Board at the meeting of July l5 as to the existence of suspicious sick ness in a particular quarter of the City, illustrated with a map of the To- calities. The President of the City Board affirmed in the newspapers of Sept. 15 that he had conveyed such in- formation, and thus an important question Is raised.
 Seeking to Throw Blame Elsewhere.
 Again tho State Board, in its report. seeks to shield itself from responsi- bility of blame by declaring that there is no exact information to show how or when the disease was introduced in- to the city, but suggests the possibil- ity that 1t was allowed to come in from some Central American port without the existence of the infection being known to the United States Ma rine Hospital official stationed there to give warning. In this connection mem tion was made also of the fact that in July a physician was called before a in Gulfport. fined for re- porting a case of yellow fever, and held up for universal execration for daring to commit so heinous an of- fense. when no fever existed there. Subsequent investigation disclosed the existence of many cases which. it was claimed, dated back a month or more. If they dated back a month. it is easily possible they may have been there Ion- ger in an unrecognized condition. Shin
