Now comes the alarming statement
that fields of alfalfa, because the
soil about the roots is undisturbed
season after season, are breeding
great numbers of grasshoppers,
which numbers, il not checked, will
soon sweep all alfalfa from the Amer
lean continent. Coupled with the
statement, however. is a remedy: %
Raise hens, and let them run freely
in the alfalfa, where they will devour
the grasshoppers while yet young;
Cd remember that the pure food law
will lrequire all eggs heretofore sold
as alfalfa fed to be labeled locust. :"
Thus does science and commerce
make slave of nature.-Times.

MEAT INSPECTOR TO
PROBE THE SCANDAL
Government Official Is Expected Here
Soon, and Will Get at the
Bottom OF Things.

People are still sick-from some
thing.
The unpleasant nature of the re-
cent epidemic is such that it can be
attributed to but one cause-impro-
per food. Just whether bad meat is
the cause OF the widespread stomach
trouble the doctors of the city have
not said.
Bad meat was served for breakfast
in a local restaurant this morning,
though it may have gone bad" after
having left the butcher shop.
The consumption of fresh meat
has fallen off materially, and until
the present excitement has subsidized
chickens will be out of luck.
The state inspector is expected at
any time, and his report will be
awaited with interest by the whole
community The following is an ex-
cerpt from his letter, addressed to
the lacol health officer.
Office of Dairy and Food Commits
sioner, Davenport, Wash, May 6.
Dr. F. E. Culp, Wenatehee.
Dear Sir:
Your message received. l at once
called up my deputy in Spokane (who
by the way, is city meat inspector for
that city, and talked with him about
the matter. Some months ago a guam
tity of cold storage meat at Wenat-
chez was started for the Spokane
market, but as city inspector, Mr..
Adams put stop to it and he tells
me that he believes this is some of
the same that they are trying to sell
at Wenatchee after failing to get it
On the outside market. Mr.. Adams
further tells me that it has been in
cold storage SO long that, after
thawing, it is practically rotten.
We assume that the meat of which
you now wire is the same but pos
sibly we are mistaken. AS soon as
you receive this letter kindly let me
know, either by wire or lel-er If in
a hurry, wire me at my expense.
Very truly yours,
L. DAVIES,
Dairy and Food Commissioner.

there would be just that much more

could be more easily diverted into

whereas now the urgent demands of
business for our currency, under

workmen, act as an automatic brake,
under the stern law of necessity. on
There is no doubt that this fear has
restrained Congress from giving us

Plant Trees Along the Roads.

Every person who owns land
along public roads may secure an
abatement of one fourth of their
road tax by setting out shade
trees or fruit trees along the
roads. This law has been in
force IN this state since 1879, yet
it's provisions are little known.
The act of May 2, 1879. says:
,"Any person liable to road tax,
who shall transplant to the side
of the public highway, on his own
premises, any fruit, shade or for.
est trees. of suitable size, shall be
allowed by the supervisor of roads
where the roads run through or
adjoin cultivated fields, an abate
ment in his road tax, one dollar
for every four trees set out, but
no row of elms shall be placed
nearer than 20 feet, or no row OF
maple or other IL rest trees near.
er than 60 feet, except locust
trees, which may be set 30 feet
apart, and no allowance, as before
mentioned, shall be made unless
such trees shal! have been set out
the year previous to the demand
for such abatement Of tax, az d
are living and we'll protected from
animals at the time of the demand
No person shall be allowed an
abatement of his highway tax
more than one fourth of his an.
nual tax"
This law was enacted to pro.
mote the planting of trees along
the public highways, yet very
few people take advantage ofats
provisions by planting trees.
There are hundreds Of farmers
In this county who could save
one fourth of their road tax next
year by placing trees this year
along the puplic roads adjoining
their lands.
