Psychologist, bureau of plant in
dustry, Washington, D. c., are
the joint authors of Bulletin No.
1876 P. P. l. U. s. sdept. of agri-
culture. The subject is alfalfa.
Supt. Waldron has carried on the
largest trials with alfalfa in the
United States.
The bulletin takes up the differ
ent phases of alfalfa growing. The
subject of varieties and winter
killing are given special attention.
Prof. Waldron made the import
ant discovery that if the last cut
ting was made early enough so
there was a considerable growth
when frost came, the plants, as
rule, went through the winter
safely. He accounts for it in that
the late growth would pump water
oui of the soil and thus cause the
alfalfa to harden up for winter.
He also found that a thin stand
will kill quicker than good one.
1t was found that incubation was
necessary and that without it there
would be failure no matter how
good the preparation of the soil.
The proper preparation of the soil
he classes of primary importance
and that through preparation also
promotes inoculation. Another
point made is that it is important
to get seed from regions that pro-
duce hardy seed. It has also been
found in these experiments, how
ever, that the plants become ac-
climated in the course of two or
three generations and especially so
where the alfalfa is grown under
irrigation. 1t was also found that
the Mongolian alfalfa which proved
to be the hardest at Dickinson as
we'll as at Stockton, Kansas and
crowns set more deeply in the soil
than other varieties. 1t is thought
that this may be of importance.
1t was also found that in case the
roots of the Grimm alfalfa we're
broken off four to eight inches
below the surface that they sent
out new roots instead of dying as
would most other varieties which
may be one reason why the Grimm
alfalfa strain has such long endur-
ance. Dry winters which have
supposed to be highly. injurious
have been found to be so only
when preceded by a wet fall and
that dry fall furnishes the most
favorable conditions for wintering
over by producing more perfect
dormancy. A coat Of ice or sleet
often brings about winter killing
as does also late pasturing with
cattle, sheep or hogs.
This bulletin is of special inn
portance to the Northwest as it
gives valuable data that will make
it possible to grow alfalfa where
failure has been met with before.

A GREAT COMEDY.
''Seven Days." Brilliant New York
Success, Coming Nov. 18th.

Seven Days" that Messrs. Wa
genthals & Kemper will present at
the Grand opera house Saturday
evening, Nov. u, is an up-to-the-
minute comedy dealing with New
York's smart set. 1t is class all the
way through. Fashionable folks
are quarantined in a house in which
policeman and a burglar are also
trapped. There is one week of up
roarious fun that starts in the
drawing room of Riverside Drive
house, descends to the kitchen and
goes up to the roof, and is laugh
from start to finish. The New York
Evening Telegram said in it's re-
view of this comedy:
Gales of laughter swept over
the Astor last night at the first
performance of Seven Days and
when the audience left the theatre
their facets were shining with smiles
and their hearts were big with
gratitude to Mary Roberts Rine-
hart and Avery Hopwood who wrote
the sparkling comedy. See Seven
Days and laugh"
Players who appeared in the
piece at the Astor Theatre where
it has run into it's second year, will
act it here, and the production will
be exactly the same as the one on
Broadway. OF all the theatrical an
nouncements of the season that of
Seven Days" will surely create the
greatest interest, for this is the
leading comedy hit of twenty years.

LOCUsTs NEXT YEAR.
Seyenteen-Year Pest Looked For
During the Summer of 1911.

Two giant broods of pests which
come to ravage orchard vegetation
only after incubation intervals of
thirteen and seventeen years, are
set down by scientists as due to
descend upon this continent within
ne next six months. Only the
birds that can be counted upon to
cat up the locust plague will avail
to avert serious losses in the coming
season, it is declared.
English sparrows, robins, wood
peckers, orioles, scarlet tanagers,
cuckoos, goldtinches and nuthatches
have betn proved by the government
biological survey to have rendered
the greatest service in devouring
these periodical cicada on their last
raids of the country, according to
the records that have been searched
by the Audubon workers. Eating
the soft bodies of the locust pests
or their wings and heads as well,
cat birds, flickers, towhees, gnat-
catchers, martins, peewes, thrushes,
vireos, chikadees and and flycatch-
ers are among their other destroy
ers. Only two species of all the
birds examined at Washington have
been found not TO feed upon these
destructive insects. To protect these
birds and all other insect eaters
through the coming months is de-
clared TO be an emergency measure
that must be seized upon by the
farmers of the land.
Shielded in tiny shells. the peri
odicdl cicada are today preparing to
burst forth in countless multitudes
over the fields OF both north and
south, the chronological experts
declare. Unnumbered hosts of these
weird insects will next summer slit
young trees and deposit to blight
their tender sprouts the eggs that
will bring forth the species seven
teen years hence, it is assured. APP
pie, peach and pear orchards and
vineyards will feel their destructive
power, the government authorities
admit, unless an abundant force of
the wilds birds is preserved to lead
the fight against the impending in
sect plague.
Comprehensive state laws, for
the protection of the insect-eating
birds and widespread efforts 70 shell
ter and feed them through the
storms of next winter are advocated
in this emergency by the National
Association of Audubon societies,
which has for years urged the peO-
pie of America to consider such pro-
blers from the economic standpoint.

THINGS ARE LOOKING UP.
A Few Thoughts Upon the Notice.
able Upward Tendency i'm City
and County.

Not less than a dozen families
have moved into DEBORAH within
the past month. Good houses for
rent or sale are very scarce, pro-
perry is increasing, and there is an
upward tendency and air of indu-
stry and advancement about the
city such as it has not seen in sew
eral years. DEBORAH is the best city
of its size in the United States-we
can prove this statement and De-
corah Is bound to prosper, provided
the people themselves get right.
This is alike true with respect to
the entire county. When the people
of the whole county get together for
mutual benefit, abolishing the jeal-
Gus knocking, the prejudice between
localities there will be steady adj
vancement. The people of Deco
rah, Ossian, Calmar, Ridgeway, Ca
stalia and all the towns should re-
ioice in each others progress and help
instead of hindering each other;
the prosperity is certain. This is
the record of every locality there
is no question about it. What the
people of Winnesheik county need
first, is just what the people of Des
Moines, Waterloo, Cedar Rapids,
Mason City and other prosperous
Iowa cities found out few years
ago that they needed-to get right
thems elves, to know themselves, to
learn what Iowa has, what Winnie
sheik county has, and to tell others.
To mako an honest comparison be-
tween this and other localities, and
the verdict every time will be in
our favor. There isn't a better
town anywhere for its size than
DEBORAH; there isn't a better coun-
ty than Winnesheik. Just as soon
as we realize this, believe it and
talk it, then things will begin to
advance, farms will increase in va
luc, the towns Of the county will
grow, and prosperity will smile
upon us in greater abundance than
ever before.

The Great ComedyHit "seven Days

Seven Days" is very properly a
quarantine comedy. Quarantines go
with epidemics and Seven Days"
is raging epidemic of fun, Taught
er, merriment and altogether jolly
complications.
Some day." said Simmons Ma
gazine, ..ther may be something
funnier than Seven Days staged
but we doubt it. Seven Days is a
laugh producer from beginning to
end, and what's more, they are all
good clean laughs. If you have an
opportunity to see Seven Days take
along an extra handkerchief. You'll
probably need it, or the girl next to
you may want to borrow it to wipe
away the tears-of laughter"
See it at the Grand next Satur-
day.

THE DEFEAT OF MIR. BURROWS,

On some accounts we feel grief at the
defeat of Senator Burrows of Michigan
for re-election; but on other accounts it
is impossible to have that feeling.
We feel grateful 20 Senator Burrows
for his magnificent fight against polyg-
amy and Mormon priesthood corruption
and political and temporal usurpatlon,
as these came up in the Smoot contest.
He did magnificent work in that fight,
and the loyal people of Utah Will ever
be grateful to him for it,
But he committed the grave offense
against the people of Michigan of stand
ing in with Senator Adrich through
out Aldrich s fight to build up the New
England cotton manufacturers at the
expense Of the country by means Of the
bunHo tariff law passed last year; and
he rubbed it in by going home to Mich
igan and making a speech wherein he
lauded Aldrich, telling how he could
always, through Aldrich' IS help, get the
things he wanted for Michigan The
people of Michigan did not see it that
way. They knew that the bunko tariff
law in support Of which Senator Bur
rows constantly and perslstently voted
with Aldrich, was fraud on the coun-
try, and an imposition upon them. They
knew that Immediately upon the pas.
sage of that bill, n combine was entered
into by some seventy of the cotton man
ufacturers in New England, and that
cotton goods were Immediately raised in
price thereupon. The cotton schedules
were tampered with shamefully and in
number of cases the raise was beyond
all reason or precedent.
Senator Burrows thus went down in n
wave of insurgency and protest against
the fraud committed on the country in
the passage of that tariff law, 1t is too
bad to see a good man go astray as
Burrows did on this question: but since
he did so, it was inevitable that he must
pay the penalty. And so, much as we
regret his defeat on account of his serv-
ice against the polygamous usurpaJlon
in Utah, we must confess that his fate
was deserved by reason of his fall from
grace on the tariff bill.

that Pinchot has undertaken to enforce
it; and that is precisely opposite to
what Mr.. Roosevelt now declares true
conservation to be.
If the Roosevelt idea is correct, that
the pioneers and settlers in any given
region of the Republic have right to
use the natural resources at hand just
as the pioneers and settlers have done
at all times in the history of the Re-
public, then one might naturally III.
quire what all the pother is about. For
there is no occasion for any uproar
about that, The friction and trouble
have arisen over the Pinchot idea of
conservation which is precisely oppo-
site to that which President Roosevelt
now Processes to be in favor of; and
which closes the use of the natural
resources against the settler. With the
Pinchot sort Of conservation enforced,
there is conflict; with the other, there
would seem to be no particular room
for conservation fad or uproar in this
country, for that makes no change from
old-tlme usage. All the settler will
need to do, is to go along in the old
way that developed the Republic from
IL mere handful of settlers and pioneers
a century ago to the magnificent Re"
public we live in today. And Pinchot"
ism, with all its annoying harassment,
will be wiped off the slate.
