avenue for while.
Taking everything together Mr.
Lemley is little severe on the sa
loon man. The cod blooded feature
of his communication is that he
makes no provision for the 50 or 40
men. VINO, according to his figures,
his high license policy would force
cut OF business. He makes no pro
vision for the property owners whose
house would bevacated under his high
license policy. If Mr.. Lemley's ideas
were carried out there would be plen-
ty of vacant houses on Central ave-
nue. in short time, and it would be
long time before there would be
any tenants for then The truth is,
Mr. Lemley is a druggist and not a
saloon man and we imagine would
be as incapable of running saloon
as we would be of conducting a drug
store outside of prohibition communi-
ties.
Why is it that whenever an indivi-
dual has a suggestion to make as to
an increase of the city's revenue he
should select the saloon men to bear
the burden in preference to the drug
gists or those engaged in other

which most of the plants are thus
single stooled those spots may be
looked upon as wheat-sick in the same
sense as certain areas of land are now
known to be flax sick. If you have
a nice piece of land which was proper.
ly worked under corn cultivation last
year in which only scattering plants
show tip burn or creosoted roots and
single stool plants, you may rest as
larly wheat-sick when you sOWed the
wheat but that you sowed wheat which
had a considerable percentage of in
ternally or externally infected seeds
seeds which contained or bore the
spores of wheat root rot.
We blame the weather for entirely
too many things l am writing this
statement not to prove that the wea-
Their is just right for wheat but to in.
terest number Of farmers in going
out into the fields and studying their
crops so that they can understand
what is meant by wheat sick" soil,
and that proper crop rotation might
do towards purifying such soil. Strict
ly, wheat diseases must have to grow
on; therefore, put in some other crops
for awhile on such land.
If any farmer, after reading this ar
ticle, is unable to state whether he has
spots of wheat-sick land on his farm
or is doubtful about whether he has
pulled up any plants that are wheat
sick or not, will send specimens into
my Office with proper information re-
garding where he got them, I think l
will be able to explain the matter so
taht he can understand the portions
of the lands which are sick and those
which are not.
