TYPHOID MARY

Mary Mallon, cook. was produced
before the supreme coure of New
York the other day on a writ of hab-
eas corpus. Mary has been in guar
antine on North Brother island for
the past two years without having
been committed by any court, and
seeks to regain her liberty. The
health department opposed the wom-
ans application on the ground that
she had become a menace to every
person with whom she came in con-
tact. as. while herself immune. she
had the power of communicating ty-
phoid fever TO others
This is a remarkable case; but. it
is said that there are two score per-
sons in this country who are similar
ly afflicted, and are known as typhoid
bacilli carriers. The case of this par
ticular woman. however, is the most
remarkable of ALL and every effort
has been made to cure her, without
avail 1t is beyond the comprehen-
sion of laymen how she can exude
typhoid bacilli and at the same time
be immune from the disease Per-
haps there are many others possess
ing this strange malady, in which
event numerous epidemics can be ex-
planned.

HE MAKES A STATEMENT.
Grand Junction. Colo Jnne

Grand Junction, Colo. June 25
Mr.. Hall Harrison, general agent
for Colorado, who is assisting Mr.. +.
A. Hornbeck land commissioner of
the Kansas City. Mexico a. Orient
railroad, in the sale of Pecos valley
land, has recently made statement
in our office in regard to everyone
who has ever considered the lower
Pecos valley either from standpoint
of an investor, or with the idea of
going there to live.
Mr. Harrison said in part that up
to short time ago, he had always
been able to say that of the many
men from Colorado whom he had
taken down to the Pecos valley, only
one man had returned without in
vesting in the land Recently he
sold Mr. II. II. Dresser, of Montrose,
Colorado. forty acres, and this sale
now enables him TO say that up to the
present time every Colorado man
that has gone down into Texas with
him has purchased land in the Pecos
valley, MIR. Dresser being the one
man who had previously returned
without buying.
IL is only fair to say that when Mr..
Dresser went to Texas, he intended
going South as far as the City of
Mexico, and went through the Pecos
valley simply because he found it
convenient to do so. After returning.
he expressed himself as being much
impressed with some of the land he
saw in Southern Mexico. He did not
purchase any down there, and when
Mr.. Harrison was in Montrose recent
ly, Mr.. Dresser bought forty acres
of land adjoining that which the men
from Colorado had bought.
We think this statement from Mr..
Harrison of having sold every man
whom he has taken down from this
state into the lower Pecos valley will
be read with a great deal of interest
by many people in this locality, mad
certainly it is wonderful record

WITH ALFALFA SEED
GOVERNMENT EXPERIMENTS

In connection with the bureau of
plant industry of the Department Of
Agriculture. the forest service has
been carrying on series of expert
NETS relative to the reseeding Of over
grazed areas upon the national for
ests in The west
Among other important forage
plants selected for experimental work
is the common alfilaria tErodium
eicutarium) of the southwestern
desert country. This splendid forage
plant grows all over the deserts of
southern California, Arizona and
New Mexico and furnishes one of the
best plants for fattening live stock
especially sheep, known 10 the stock
men. II grows in the early spring
when green feed is most desirable and
| in few weeks will cover the desert
with rich green blanket until il
looks almost like an alfalfa field. The
plant generally reaches a maximum
height of from eight to ten inches
inside of six weeks and i'm SIX weeks
more has all died down and blown
away leaving the ground as bare as
floor. The seeds of this plant have
been carried from California, in the
wool of migrating sheep. into the Gd-
joining states, but while it will grow
at high attitudes, it does not reach
any great height above an elevation
of 3 1000 feet
The first obstacle the government
experts ran against was the impos-
sibility of obtaining seed in the open
markets that would germinate The
seed commands IA high price and is
hard to obtain but OF samples pur-
4.
terminating power was never higher
| than thirteen per cent and the aver
age of several samples was about
eight per cent.
In order 10 determine, if possible,
where the fault lay, in the nongerm-
mating power of the seeds purchased,
the forest service sent one of its
plant experts, Arthur W. Sampson,
into the field in southern California
where alfilaria was known 10 be most
abundant, with orders to gather seed
of this plant and make careful
study of the conditions governing its
growth.
This has been done and it is very
evident tnat if the seed can be gath
cred at the proper time and under
proper conditions, it will have a high
terminating power. Samples of the
seed gathered by Mr.. Sampson show
ed a termination of over ninety-one
per cent which is certainly high
enough to be satisfactory to any pur-
chaser. Mr.. Sampson has been able
to outline method of gathering this
seed by which one man can gather a
very large amount with very little
trouble. Enough of the seed can be
easily secured with high germinat-
ing power with which to make expert
mental paintings on several of the
national forests where this plant
would make an admirable addition TO
the local forage supply. Alfilaria.
under normal conditions, seems to be
best in soil composed mostly of de-
composed granite, but it is believed
it will flourish in most light sandy
soils where there is sufficient mois-
ture in the early spring to start the
growth.
Now that the forest service has
shown how to gather the seeds there
is no doubt but that the local seed
men will avail themselves of the ex-
pertinent and that in future the grade
of seed sold by seed men will be of
much better germinative strength.
