The board of control has run up
against a snag in the shape of the
committee on@claims in its desire to
establish binding Irvine plant at the
state prison. There are bills now in
the legislature providing for appro-
priations of $4,000 for this plant.
Members of the committee. who
have been looking into the matter, are
much opposed to the establishment of
a plant at Waupun. Their first objec-
ton comes from the fact that it will
employ but a few men comparatively
and each one employed will represent
an investment of $1,000.

ing the membership of the board
Mr.. Hambrecht defended his bill in
a vitriolic speech. Mr.. Mcconnell

ton carried by vote of 48 to 2.

A.FORAGE PLANT
ON SPRING
RANGE

Special to the Daily Tribune.
Washington, Sept. 29.-Uncle Sam
is now studying the distribution and
the habits of Alfilerilla. one of the
vests best forage plants, with view
of determining the possibility OF
growing 1t upon OvergraZed ranges,
and introducing 1t upon netional for
est ranges where hitherto it has been
unknown, or has occurred only in
limited quantities.
Alflerilla IL a very valuable and
hardy forage plant, which constitutes
one of the principal spring feeds
upon many of the semi-arid ranges
of the southwest Stock fattens rap
idly upon 1t, and the gnin is good
hard tallow not easily lost through
shipment.
Many stockmen have endeavored
to introduce it upon their ranges,
and in most instances their efforts
have failed. The cause of this fail
ure is now found to lie in the fact
proven by tests made by the bureau
of plant industry, that the seed sold
by seed firms seldom has over 10 per
cent germinative power, and that
nine-tenths of the seed sowed is
worthless.
The United States forest service
has been in receipt of many requests
for the planting OF Altilerilla upon
spring ranges within the national for
ests. and has decided to act upon
them. Tests having proved the i'm
possibility of securing satisfactory
supplies of the seed through the or
dinary channels, A. w. Sampson.
plant ecologist, wac detailed to the
work of securing supply that would
meet all requirements.
Beginning his Investigations upon
the Sequoia forest in California he
discovered that by setting aside suit
able tracts upon which the plant was
abundant. and watching its growth
seed with germinative power in eX
cess of 80 per cent could be secured
in large quantities. and TT cost
much below the prevailing market
prices AS "a result of his investi-
cations the forest service has ar
ranged to set aside certain tracts in
the southwest this fall for the pur-
pose of cultivating and collecting A.
filerilla seed.
The seed thus secured will be used
to reseed overgrazed and otherwise
depleted ranges within national for
tSlS, anu ~ lS pldHhSu " liNl ouutS
the plant upon many dry ranges to
which it has hitherto been a strang-
er. The success of this movement
means much to the stockmen using
national forest ranges. In the south
vest many a stockowner has been
saved from heavy loss or even abso-
Lutte ruin by the Aliilerilla that COW
cred his spring ranges at time when
other early feeds were lacking AM
sustained his cattle until the ad.
vance of the season produced other
sources of feed supply, and it is
probable that the plant will be as
valuable in other portions of the
country.

STARCH FACTORY
BURNS; Big LOSS
CONTINUED from Second Page)

New York, Hamburg, Bremen. AS
none of these companies would as
sumo risk greater than $1,000 it
is estimated that the amount OF in
surance is less than half of the loss.
Starting at 2:30 O'Clock the fire
in the main building of the plant
burned steadily until after $3.50
o'clock this morning. The blaze
was spectacular one, although only
about fifty persons were at the scene.
Some of these had narrow escapes
from injury while handling buckets
in their successful efforts to save the
potato warehouse. The buildings
around the boiler and engine were
burned, but the engine and boilers
are unharmed.
o. A. Gibbons, foreman of the FAC
tory, states that he beileyes tramps
are responsible for the fire. He says
that about three days ago he found
three tramps cooking dinner close
to the factory and fearing their nre'
he threw their utensils in the river
and was forced to draw hatchet TO
protect himself against them. AL
that time, Mr.. Gibbons states, the
tramps swore they would get even
with him. The blaze had covered al
most one side of the building before

that he saw one man running away.
Three other young men VINO were
first to arrive on the scene OF the flre

wards the railroad.
