A REVIEW OF ROAD RACING
Lozier Company Distributes IN
teresting Book at Show.

Among other interesting literature dis,
tributed at the show is a thirty-two-pase
book OF the Lozier Company devoted to
review OF the road racing Of the year. It
"a profusely illustrated. and goes into de-
tailed description Of ell Of the big races
Of the year. recounting many OF the inci-
dents connected with these fixtures.
rumber OF tables are given showing the DIFF
ferent cars and drivers. and their order OF
starts and finishes probably the most com
plete review Of the years racing yet pub
lshed.
An interesting fact In connection with
the racing history contained In this book
IS the fact that Ralph Mulford, who "a
credited with winning the road champion
ship OF the year. started in eight races,
and his average time for these eight events
was over sixty-flve miles an hour a won
derful record never equalled by any othsq
driver in racing history.

without both crops for the Farmers

through until 4 crop may be raised
another year, while Iowa finds itself
facing a decided shortage in all sorts
OF grain products. That is one side
OF the picture.
Montana has been blessed during
the present year with an abundance
Of moisture which beginning in the
spring in time to start the crops, has
persisted throughout the summer

The department of agriculture has
hopes, too, that if exact knowledge of
the part Of the sunshine that is most
beneficial to certain crops is known
this knowledge can be put to practi-
cal purpose with incalculable benefits.
1t is fascinating problem and so
startling that a description Of the
work accomplished and what is en-
pected to be gained, will be eagerly
awaited. If, rs the scientists hope,
the sun can be put under a course of
scientific management, as it were,
whereby his life-giving forces can be
controlled for the highest efficiency,
it will mean Il tremendous thing for
mankind. Speculative as the theory
seems ut first thought the experts be-
lieve there must be something in it

wants are being followed with the

SAVING HORSES
FROM LOCO WEED

Washington, Aug. u.-Evervone
who knows anything OF cattle raising
has heard of Loco weed and of the
strange actions Of horses and cattle
affected by the curious plants vet
few really know what the weed is like
and what are its actual effects. still
fewer, perhaps, understand how to
treat an animal that has formed ha-
bit OF eating the plant. The subject is
covered in one of the recent bulletins
OF the department of agriculture.
The name comes from the Spanish
and means crazy" having been ap-
piled in the west to the ,liseasp first
and then to the weed. which was
found to be the cause Of it. Animals
which are affected by it, especially,
act in an entirely unreasonable man
ner, are given to fits and starts and
are crazy IN way. The plant is found
over the western portions Of Texas.
Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska.
Arizona and New Mexico, and in
parts of Wyoming. Colorado and
Montana.
There are two main forms known as
the loco weed and also IL number of
other weeds which have much the
same effect OH animals which eat
them. The purple. woolly, or Texas
loco, is the most poisonous Of the two
chief kinds. The flowers are purple
and the leaves covered With woollv
hber, hence the names. The leaves
are long and oval and the branches of
the plant lie close to the ground. The
other is the white loco, Whicl, stands
erect and has Il white flower. The To-
co weeds are members of the pea
family and have seed pods The pur
PIE loco has Il main stem at the ground.
the white has Il number of shoots. all
close together, but coming from the
roots and not from one stem. The
white loco Is sometimes called the
rattle weed" from the rafting
sound OF the dry seed pods. Other
weeds which bear the name of loco
are also called rattle weeds.
Horses Form Habit.
The purple loco is eaten only bv
horses usually; the white loco is eat
Ell by cattle, horses and sheep. Hors-
es rarely make first trial of purple
lOco'except when food is scarce. vet
when they begin habit quickly

UNIQUE EXPERIMENTS.

Are some rays of the sun better for
some crops than others? Are some
actually harmful? These are ques-
tiOns to which answers are being
sought by scientists Of the Smithson-
IAN institution and the department of
agriculture, says an exchange. Many
years ago the issue was raised by the
late Professor $. +. Langley, former
ly Of Pittsburg, and from that sug-
gestiOn the government scientists
have been experimenting for years Oh
a work that is absolutely unique. The
success of the observations made ut
the observatory Oh Mount Wilson,
California. if confirmed by observa-
tions elsewhere, hold out the hope
that the knowledge of the variations
of the solar heat thus obtained will
enable the weather bureau to forecast

ALFALFA WITHOUT IRRIGATION.

We would suggest that the land should
be summer fallowed the first season
and seeded the next fall or the next
spring. by summer following we mean
that the land should be cultivated or
narrowed after each rain throughout
tic summer. A good way to tell
whether the land needs to be har.
rowcd or not is to study the physical
condition of the surface soil. If a
crust has been formed we should not
delay the narrowing. Ii a large mum.
Der of weeds have terminated and are
growing. the quicker the land is har.
rowcd the better. The object OF this
summer following is to prevent the
evaporation Of moisture
The second consideration that
means success or failure in a dry re-
gion is the crop that is grown Crops
that are especially we'll adapted to
the dry land areas should be used.
The quick-growing varieties seem to
give the best results. We have both
winter and spring varieties of quickly
maturing grains. The Turkey Red
wheat seems to be very desirable for
fall seeding. The seed should be sown
quite early in the fall This will give
opportunity for a good root develop
ment Then again. the fall sowing
permits the grain to start very early
the next spring. Because of these
characteristics the Turkey Red wheat
will mature before the dry weather of
July and August. If we are to SOW
spring grown crop we should also Sc
cure Il variety that will mature in as
short time as possible and one that
has hardy root growth. These char.
acteristics will tide the plant over a
dry spell and no doubt will mature a
crop
Again we wish to say that too much
emphasis cannot be placed upon TIE
method Of handling the land and in
choosing the varieties of grain that
are used

forms. and often goes 80 far as to re-
suit in death. Horses. cattle and sheen
often take to white loco readily, e.
pecially If other food is in the least
hard to get. Animals unaccustOmed
to range feeding, such as imported
stock take most readily to this plant
and are most likely to be injured by
it. AS white loco is much more wide
~ distributed, it's effects are greater
and more serious, although it is less
poisonous than purple loco.
Horses show most marked effects in
their actions after the weed begins to
work. First the animal grows dull.
then seems unable to control it's mus
cles. y horse may leap ut little rut
rs if a ditch had to be passed over or
may step very high to pass over
small obstruction. Persons passing
may cause sudden shyillg, or the hors-
es may rear and fall backward when
no serious cause for fright is at hand.
In cattle the signs are less marked.
but lOcOed steers are hard to handle.
and even dangerous to drive, often
turning and running at the cowboy
instead of away from him. Another
sign is Il violent shaking head when
the animal is OverIleated. Sheen
which have eaten loco weeds often
fall and then rise with the greatest
difficulty. In all these animals the
first symptoms are followed by weak
ness. dizziness and wasting away.
Finally, the animal becomes solitary
i'll its habits, stops eating and dies.
What the poison in loco weeds is
has not been determined. Barium in
some OF it's compounds is thought to
be responsible but it seems to he a
gas or volatile substance, and escapes
before any accurate analysis can he
made. This is one Of the reasons for
the mystery which popularity is con
nected with the disease.
Treating Locoed Animals.
In treating lOcoed animals proper
feeding is the first step and most inn
portant. AS the nervous system of
the animal affected, tonics must he
given. The course Of treatment is te.
dlous and expensive, so that it is advj-
sable to treat only valuable stock.
For horses, arsenic in FOWler's solu-
ton is best. Cattle seem to improve
most under II course OF strychnine.
Treatment must be continued for
some time, since the weed was slow
IN getting in it's work and it's results
are slow to be overcome. Care has to
be used in either form Of treatment,
for the animal is weakened by dis
ease and can not stand ordinary dos
eS.
Prevention is better than cure in
this case rs in others. Loco weeds
may be eNterminated by cutting off
Just below the crown of buds. This
may be necessary several times Il year
and for several years in succession,
but the trouble is slight and 1t is not
necessary to dig up the roots as many
suppose. Where the plant exists stock
should he fed when grass is scarce
and temptation to eat the weeds cut
down thereby. On many ranges pat
ches OF loco weed are restricted 80 |
that cattle are easily kept from eating
the weed. Since seed pods are heavy /
Oh this plant, distribution Of seed is /
slow, and that fact makes it easier to
kill the weed entirely, especially in |
the fenced pastures.
