ALFALFA

BY Dr. A. Y. Hume, Agroaomist South
Dakota State College, Bookings.
All in all, the most troublesome OF
weeds that are prone to infest alfalfa
is dodder.
Botanically speaking, there are
three species OF dodder that are most
common, among the kinds OF parasites
found on alfalfa. 1t may not be neces.
sary at this point to distinguish these
species from a botanical standpoint.
The species all belong to a genus
called Cnscnta.
In common language, these three
kinds of dodder which infest alfalfa
are divided into two classes, namely:
ID Large seeded dodder and ~
small seeded dodder. The kind which

police has lost faith in bloodhounds
which are kept for the purpose CT

people we're discussing the merits OF
the hloodhounds, and it was decided
to give the dogs a tryout. Money
enough to engage the hounds was sub
seribed. and Chief Of Police Tubbicliff
agreed TO walk across country to Full
ton. and the hounds We're to trail him.
i telephone message to Mitchell, to
the owner of the hounds, resulted in
the agreement being made. The day
Of the trial arrived, and the chief
started on his "hike" to Fulton. Then
the owner of the hounds was notified
ana lie replied that his dogs We're "out

automobile was then started after the
chief but he had taken an irregular
route and could not be found until he
walked all the way to Fulton. He was

DvTy-FREE IMPORTATIONS.

Merchandise valued at more than ST.
600 600 900 was last year admitted TO
our ports duty free. The reports of
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce show not only a large rela-
tive increase in the gross value of
goods received. but also demonstrate
that the percentage Of nondutiable
merchandise over dutiable continues to
rise and is now 54.6 per cent, against
4s2 in 1910.
This has never been a free trade ma
ton, but the tendency in recent years
seems TO be toward the extension Of
the free list The main articles which
enter duty free are hides and skins
India rubber, raw silk. raw cotton,
fbres. tin. copper. nickel. wood. oils,
furs, coffee. tea, cocoa. fruits. nuts
spices, fertilizers. certain works OF art
uncut diamonds and certain chemicals
OF these coffee is the chief article
with hides and skins next in value and
rubber third.
The figures are now large. but il is
probable that when Congress enacts its
tariff legislation the percentage will
be further raised. particularly IL SUI
gar should be put upon the free list.

A s50,OOO,OO0 BOOK.

There has Just been issued by the
State of Virginia a booklet OF thirty
two pages that by conservative esti-
mate is worth s5O.0Oo.000 to the peo-
Die of the Commonwealth. II is the
Annual Virginia Health Almanac, pub
lished By the State Board of Health. III
the preventive measures suggested by
the articles in this pamphlet were uni
versally applied against the ravages
OF the principal contag' ous diseases, II
is no exaggeration TO say that the
people of Virginia would save sSO.O0O.-
600 in the next five years. II is de-
clared that tuberculosis alone cost the
CITY Of Lynohburg about $357.O00 last
year. on a population basis IL probably
cost Richmond twice that amount or
500. 600 That totals waste of ST.
100000 in just two cities for a single
disease. Multiply this by the entire
State, and all the diseases that are
practically preventable, and no sane
man will deny that s1O.OO0.O0O a year
is paid for disease. Probably the an
nuaI toll is nearer twice that sum.
How many miles of fine roads and
how many improved schools would that
build in year?
If. this tremendous price of disease
were unavoidable or if the methods of
reducing il were difficult. technical
or costly. there might be some excuse
for bearing the burden. but the dis
Oh +s>ot "a
simplest and most inexpensive sani-
tary and hygienic precautions are suf-
fcient to eliminate most of this crush
ing tax If the first case of measles
in Richmond had been isolated. the city
would have been saved perhaps $780,
900.
The chief value of the almanac is
that il is simple and convincing. 1t
tells of the causes and preventive
measures for smallpox. tuberculosis,
malaria, diphtheria. pneumonia hook
worm. typhoid. infant troubles and
measles scarlet fever and whooping
cough. II points out that few ele-
mental things. if done properly. would
wipe out most of these troubles If
the cost of these diseases were elimi-
mated Virginia's health bill would be
almost negligible. Fresh sir, clean
food, uncontaminated water. and pure
milk and necessities. Human susie
nance must be germ proof. Proper sani-
tation of farms and the careful disposal
of human waste are fundamental. The
destruction of the germ-carrying fly
and mosquito must be achieved. The
right use Of vaccines and serums. and
the control OF infection centres COM
pletes the list.
The health epigrams and humor
make the bulletin very readable. The
Times Dispatch urges the farmers of
Virginia to send and get copy Of a
free book that contains priceless in

they could not sing the Lords sons

Israel had sinned and forgotten the

remorse. Lord, hear my voice." for he
knows that with the Lord there Ia
