A reason which win account for
young orchard trees not bearing soon
er than they do after being set may
lie In the soil being too rich IN nitro
gen as compared with the other chief
elements, potash and phosphorus.
To correct this condition manure
should be kept from the trees and the
vigorous growth checked by pHtting
the trees In grass for couple Of
years. It is possible to be too kind 70

DO THEY KNOW IrY

contributor to u Wisconsin agri
cultural paper undertakes 10 defend
the much maligned quack grass IN an
article In which he states that II he
had land which was run down he
would consider the presence of the
matted roots OF the grass IN the eartl
as worth ai least $40 per acre. In q
recent farmers institute which the
writer attended somewhat simila:
view was expressed, the speaker con
tending he had had no difficulty in rid
ding HIS fields OF the pest by ordinary
cultural methods. II Is quite patent that
the breed OF qunck grass which these
two gentIerren refer to Is very meek
and inoiferaive type. different from
that to be found in most sections of
the country. or else the grass they
have supposed was quack grass was
not quack grass NJ all. Suffice 1t to
say that It will be well for the inex-
perienced and uninitiated to paint this
agricultural scourgc in the blackest
colors possible and In no sense view Il
as an evil that can be triHed with.
There are many instances where the
value Of land has been cut in two as II
result Of its becoming infested with
this relentless pest. We're one to take
the above suggestion Of quack grass
roots as a fertilizer seriously he would
find that instead Of having a value OF
$40 an acre as fertilizer be would
have to pay more than twice this
amount to remove the fertilizer"

TIE PARASITE

San Francisco. Calf, Nov. 4.-The
hook worm disease has been brought
to San Francisco from Hawaii and the
Orient and hundreds of cases Of
hitherto unexplained detection, lazi
ness and supposed lack of moral in
itative, is now attributed to the in
roads Of this little parasite.
DR.. Herbert Gum, who is direct
ing the campaign against the dis
ease here, said today:
Il have treated more than one hun.
'dred cases of hookwogm in this city.
The disease was very rare in Cali
fornia until four years ago. Cooley
laborers born in the West Indies
came here from Hawaii and Ga per
cent of each hundred is seriously afs
fected. They were brought to Hawai-
by the sugar planters, but their lam
guor. due to the ravages of the worm,
made their colonization a failure ana
the laborers drifted to this state.
Hundreds of them still live here and
in towns about the bay, and nearly
half of them are endangering the
public health"
In addition, to the islanders, many
soldiers from the Philippines ans
travellers and business men from the
Orient have returned afflicted with
these small vampires.

attack made yesterday on Mrs. Albert
Lockhold, wife of a wealthy farmer,

run down last night by an infuriated

Jail is heavily guarded. One of the
prisoners protests his innocence,
while the other refuses to talk. The
assault on Mrs. Lockhold was most
brutal. After breaking into the house
the three negros tied the husband
and before his eyes ravished his wife.
Lockhold later freed himself and sum-
moned the aid of nearby farmers. One
of the neogroes, Charles Leads, was
overtaken and shot dead. Later the
two others were captured.

MAKES DRAMATIC APPEAL
ALL PARIS INTERESTED IN CASE
OF MYSTERIOUS WO.
MAN
PRESENTS new EVIDENCE
PRISONERS COUNSEL PRODUCES
ALLEGED CONFESSION OF
REAL SLAYER

Paris, Nov. 4.-Mme. Adolphe
Steinheil, whose examination on the
charge of numbering her husband and
mother-in-law, Nine. Japy, was con-
cluded today, made wonderful sim
gle-handed fight for life, displaying as
much skill in confronting the judge
as in battling the police. While in the
dock she presented dramatic figure,
her black mourning gown accentuat-
ing the pallor of her face. When
caught in the meshes of conflicting
stories, she had recourse to tears or
with uplifted eyes and arms extended,
made fervent appeals to the jury. The
most experienced court reporters Of
France describe Nine Steinheil as the
most consummate actress who has ev-
er appeared before the bar Of JUS
tice.
The. procedure of the criminal
courts in France. which makes the
Judge the prose suting attorney, rat
urally awakens sympathy for the pri-
soner and public belief is strong that
Nine. Steinheil will not be convicted.
Intense interest in the case is shown
by the fact that the newspapers every
half hour print extras containing the
testimony.
The old scandal that grew out OF
the fatal illness at the prisoners
home of Felix Faure, president of
France, has not been mentioned in
the trial, although Judge DeValles
has announced that it is not intended
to shield anyone.
Az new sensation was added to the
trial late this afternoon when M. M
Aubin, the prisoners attorney, sud-
denly interrupted the proceedings to
present letter he had just received
signed, Jean Lefevre," in which the.
writer stated he wished to confess
to participation in the murders of
which Nine. Steinheil is accused. Le--
fevre, man about 21 years Of age,
was then Dramatically introduced. He.
told the story of the murders. He was
at once placed under arrest. At the
same time the court warned the Jury
that this might be another attempt
to battle justice.

residence purposes. The consideration
is not stated.
