Alfalfa Blight.

Last season the Colorado Expert
ment station at Fort Collins called
attention to a new bacterian blight of
alfalfa. The statement was made at
that time that this disease had been
mistaken for the effects of winter in
jury for several years. but its occur
renee on high and low ground, as we'll
as on wet and dry land, indicated to
the growers that something else must
be the cause of the death of the
plants.
In a number of sections of this
state, there has been a remarkable
shortage in the first cutting of alfalfa.
and it is also true that in these same
regions almost unprecedented late
spring frosts have occurred. This
naturally gives rise to the common
belief that the trouble in these new
districts is due entirely to frost. How
, ever. We strongly suspect that similar
/ conditions will prevail next spring
even though the season should be
most favorable" says w. Paddock in
the current bulletin issued BY the
Colorado Agricultural college.
In the districts where this disease
is known to be abundant and has done
a great deal of damage. the first sign
of injury is in a short, weak growth
of the first cutting; then many OF
the stems will be discolored and al
most black for varying portions OF
their length. Where the discolorations
occur the stems are brittle and break
very readily in handling the hay.
1T has been the experience in every
locality that the second and third cut
tings will be nearly normal. But II
the disease has been at work for sew
eral seasons, the plants begin to die.
This is due to the fact that the organ
ism spreads slowly, and eventually
destroys the crown buds by getting
into the tap root where normal circu-
lation of plant food is interfered with.
In a few sections comparatively
large areas of alfalfa have been plow-
ed up because this disease had killed
so many of the plants that the fields
were no longer profitable. When re-
planted to alfalfa after season or
two of cropping, good crops are being
cut after the second year; but the
disease is again getting abundant, and
it will probably be only a question OF
time when these plants in turn will
be killed.
We do not make the positive state
ment that the short crop the present
season for the first cutting is due to
this new blight, but the probabilities
are that this is true. This being the
case it will stand all in hand to make
study of the conditions, so that all
may learn as much about the disease
as possible. 1t will be realized at
once that anything of this nature will
be very difficult to combat. The only
thing that We can suggest at the pres
ent time Is to try to secure q strain
of alfalfa which will be resistant to
the disease. With this idea in view.
the Colorado Experiment station 10
testing some thirty strains of alfalfa
which were gathered from all parts Of
the world. These have been planted
on infected land, and the growth OF
the different sorts will be carefully
watched. Should any Of them prove
superior in any way, particularly In
regard to their resistance to thia
disease. 1t Is the intention to grow
quantity Of seed for distribution"

SICK WOMAN
DRIVEN OUT
HUNTER CAME HOME AT NIGHT
AND STARTED ToSABusE
His WIFE.

PARIsERSBURG, Feb. s. The at.
tention Of overseer of the Poor Rath-
bone was yesterday called to the case
OF Mrs. William Hunter, OF Covert
street, whose husband deserted her
some time ago, and who with her aged
father and helpless family has been
q county charge. 1t is said the wo.
man needs more help than the coun.
ty can afford to give her.
An incident of last Saturday evening
has Just been disclosed. The husband
who aftsr attempting to cut her throat
with a butcher knife, some months ago
and subsequently disappeared, return
ed about midnight Saturday night
and drove the sick woman from her
bed. She ran, scantily clad from the
house and took refuge in the barn.
An officer was called and the woman
was found and brought back to the
house, but in the meantime, the hu..
band had made his escape. Tha family
is said to be almost starving. Over.
seer Of the Poor Rathbone said yes
terday that he had given the woman
an order and sometimes two every
month. This is not sufficient, how
ever, to maintain the family, and the
case is now being called to the atten-
tion of the Associated Board of Char
tiles.
Meantime the Humane officer is
making every effort to locats her hus.
band, whom he will prosecute II Hun
ter can be found, for non-support of
the family.

State Levy and Two Cent Fare
Took Up the Time Of the Senate
To-day---House Was Busy Also
TWo-GENT FARE IS GAINING FRIENDS AND WILL MOST
CERTAINLY BECOME A Law

CHARLESTON. Feb. s.-All party
lines were eliminated in the upper
House this morning and nearly every
Senator took part.in the most intense
discussion Of the fixing or the Stats
levy. Owing to lack in revenue, there
is a sentiment to again place the State
levy ut s cents. A number Of the
solons were opposed to this owing to
the fact that many of them have prom
ised their constituents either to re-
duce the levy or do away with it al.
together. When the noon recess was
taken the matter was still under con-
sideration and will likely occlpy the
greater part OF the afternoon session.
Some seem to think that a compro-
mise will be effected and the levy will
be red. ed to cents. The Senate rail-
road committees two cent fare bill
was passed to its engrosssment AMI
third reading. This bill is similar in
many respects to the one which passed
the House last week, although 1t gives
short line roads the right to collect
three :ents per mile. The amendment
