WAKE TO VALUE OF WONDER
CROP.
Western Michigan Farmers Art
Just Beginning to Realize What
Alfalfa Means to Them


(By Charles T. Manning.)
The western Michigan farmer is just
beginning to realize the value of alfalfs
to the farm, not only because it is one
OF the most important and valuable
agricultural crops grown in the world,
but because of it's being the greatest
known "vegetable-su -subsoiler" and natu-
raj fertilizer.
There is no forage plant that has sc
many valuable money making qualities
as food for all grain and hay consum.
ing domestic animals. 1t has almost
revolutionized the production of pork
in the irrigated west. Young hogs are
grazed on alfalfa with a small dailg
portion of grain, growing large frames
and lean muscles ready for the finish
ing process of concentrated grains,
There is no forage plant that gives such
q great yield per acre of milk, butter
and cheese. 1t offers practically all the
food values necessary for the ordinary
light work of the farm horse. Scarcelr'
any up-to-dat poultry farm does with.
out the alfalfa pasture, or the alfaisx
leaves for winter feeding because of the
large amount of protein they contain.
1t is the cheapest protein food that caG
be obtained.
DID MUCH FOR KANSAS.
Although alfalfa is a native of Asis,
it had, up to few years since, reached
its highest perfection in the Inter
Rocky mountain country of the United
States-the irrigated west. The pas1
few years have seen it convert the
great unmeasured wheat fields of Kan-
sas and Nebraska, with their interuait-
tent crops and uncertain yield, into the
greatest hayfields the country has ever
known. 1t is due more to alfalfa thar
any other crop raised in either of theee
two states that the mortgages have
been paid off, better improvements
have been made, the old spring wagon
has been replaced with the automobile
and that the farmer of Kansas anE
Nebraska has become the money-lendsr
instead of the constant borrower.
The Mormons Of Utah have always
been noted for their unusual thrift,
their indefatigable labor in subduing
the great desert about the famous Salt
Lake, as manifest in the beautiful farms
found there, improvements Of charer.

Blue Ribbon Races.

The Blue Ribbon meeting which will
be held on the state fair grounds at De-
troit, July 81 to August 4. is the twenty
sixth annual renewal of series of races
that have made the driving club fam.
GUS and advertised the city from one
end of the country to the other. The
Merchants & Manufacturers stake now
is twenty-one years old and the Cham
Der OF Commerce is sixteen, making
them the oldest as well as the greatest
events in which interest never lags.
In the past these have been among
the most spectacular contests ever held
and an immense amount of money has
been spent for horses thought to have a
chance to win either of the blue ribbon
stakes. This immense popularity, gain
ed through the excellence CT the races
themselves, is the reason that none of
the contests coming before nor none Of
those to be held later is in a class with
the M q M. andIChamber of Commerce
in the estimation of those who patron
ize racing.
1t is the good fortune of the Detroit
Driving Club to surround these classics
with number of events that would be
star attractions elsewhere. There are
twenty races on the card for the five
afternoons and they are 80 arranged
that the program anv day is notable
and worth the while of those who are
fond of this real American sport.

Obituary.

Edison Liberty Lyman was born in
the state of Massachusetts in the town
of Blandford, on May 10, 1884. When
he was three years of age his parents
moved to this state, making their home
on the farm southeast of this village,
where he has lived during the remain
ing seventy-four years of his life, and
where on June 10, 1911, he quietly
passed away.
In 1851 he was united in marriage to
Miss Carrie Hoyt, whom he survived
eleven years. OF the five children born
to them, four are living, Mary L., of
Spokane, Washington; Carrie of Ban
croft; Jessie of Chicago. and G. Hoyt,
of Lansing; besides two grand children
Eloise and Laurence Lyman. M. Ly.
man was the ninth of family of ten
children. of whom only one, James h.
Lyman of Lansing, survives.

always taken an active part in the
meetings.
Services were held at the home on

FRUIT TREE BLIGHT.
Parts Affected Must 30 Cut OF at
Once.

y
Once.
State Inspector of Nurseries and
Orchards Taft says:
Serious outbreaks of twig blight
upon apple, pear and ounce trees are
reported from all parts of Central Mich
igan, and the disease has also been
noticed to less extent in other parts Of
the state. 1t is generally first noticed
at the ends of the branches, where the
new leaves suddenly become brown and
dry, and the branches themselves die.
Great injury is often done to pear,
ounce and young apple trees, and
whenever it is noticed that the leaves
are discoloring the twigs or branches,
should be cut off several inches below
where the discoloring- shows. There
should be no delay as the disease spreads
in the sap and the delay of few hours
may allow the germs to work down
into the larger branches and even into
the trunk of the trees, when an attempt
TO save them may be useless, or at any
rate will seriously injure the trees.
"Twig- blight seldom does much harm
to old apple trees, being generally con.
fined to the new growth, but this year
1t is unusually severe and the large
orchard trees have the appearance of
being burned kwith fire, the ends of
most Of. the branches having been at
tackled. When only few branches
have blighted, and especially on the
smaller trees, it will be well to cut them
out, Ibut when scattered all over the
trees this is seldom worth while, al
though If it is found to be extending
back into the older branches the saw
should at once be used, as the infected
portion will surely die and the disease
may spread and do much harm. If the
cut is made below where the germs
have spread further injury will be
stopped.
m"The disease is of bacterial nature
and it's prevalence this year is because
of the. rank, succulent leaves, whose
open structure allows the germs to en-
ter. Spraying has no effect"

SITUATION IN MEXICO
FELT IN NEW YORK

James A. Pollock & Co., bankers and
brokers, furnish the following. received
over their private wire yesterday after
noon:
Logan Stock Letter. New York-Mar-
ket was greatly affected today by news
emanatIng from both Washington and
Canada indicating that some opposition
likely to be witnessed. In addition the
news from Mexico was rather conflicting
but reports from that quarter were in
definite. The uneaSinesS of foreigners
was expressed by lower range OF quota
lions on American issues. which were ac-
companied by rather heavy realizing In
Canadian Pacific. which induced selling in
other parts OF list. Quite a few stop or
ders were uncovered in Reading, Steel
disposed to tender as aggressive support
TO their specialties as yesterday. The
character OF buying yesterday was rather
good and on the reaction today quite a
few resting orders, filed for the most part
by those who did no; seem disposed to
purchase on yesterdays advance, were
executed. AS intimated in earlier advices,
yesterdays advance seemed rather too
sharp in view OF relatively small outside
following, but II is the general impress
sion that the reaction which the market
has suffered has served the purpose of
eliminating weak accounts and fostering
an extension of short interest which ad-
mttedly has been the mainstay OF the
list during the past few weeks. We still
believe that attempts TO force a higher
range of prices will be made, but adhere
should not be ignored on the sharp up
turns. as reactions will doubtless occur
with sufficient frequency TO provide buy
Ing opportunities.

When the owners arc ready TO release

AMERICAN FLAG GETTING
RESULTS OF IMPORTANCE

Reports from Park City Thursday were
to the effect that on the 700 level the
American Flag company has encountered
the same rich vein Of ore which was de-
veloped several years ago by tunnel
operations and for which the owners
have sought diligently since. The tun-
mel ore ran as high as any ore ever found
in a mine of Utah. and there was every
reason 10 expect with depth that It would
be equally as rich and extensive as IL
was above. The ore now had on the 700

planned to list the shares of the Chino

Gently, but apparently the real cause for
the advance in Chino is the enthusiasm

Mr.. Jackling is very frank in his state

tonnage OF the Ray Consolidated. and
that this Increased tonnage VIII neces-
