Judge =. D. Ramsay. Morrison. Z.
C. Graves. Geneseo, and W. T. Church

IN each precinct in this county as soon
as the ballots are toJaled by the pre-

other counties In this district viii also
be received.
During the last few days mysterious
unsigned printed notices have been
posted at all polling places in Rock Is
land and presumably in the rest of the
county. stating that a ballot marked
for all three republican candidates and
one democrat would be invalid. These
notices in some cases were later torn

on the part of the voters that they
might make a mistake and lose their

stated there is a difference Of opinion.
In fact, there is said 10 be a court rul-

only as TO the three can

ALFALFA ADAPTED
TO EASTERN STATES
One of Principal Troubles in
Growing Good Crop Is De-
ficiency in Humus.

There will be big extension in the
acreage of alfalfa in the eastern Sec
ton of the United States in the near
future. In many places in that section
there is much the same feeling toward
alfalfa that the farmers of the West
had toward the westward extension Of
clover. Many have the idea that it
can't be grown, and that ends the
matter, in their minds.
One of the principal troubles with
eastern soils is they are deficient in
humus and nitrogen. Nitrogen for
most crops and on most land can be
obtained by the growth Of legumes
much cheaper than it can be pur-
chased In the growing of legumes.
select the one that will produce the
best returns in feed, under most con-
ditions. Alfalfa is the best legume to
grow where it will do well. 1t will
produce more feed that has higher
feeding value, on land that is adapted
to it's growth, than any other legume.
There is no reason why alfalfa
should not be the principal legumin-
GUS crop In the East, on most soils,
Just as it is in the West. And the re-
turns of the farmers in the eastern
section OF the United States would be
much greater If a larger acreage OF
this crop was grown.

BLAST CAUSES FIRE
ON ATLANTIC LINER
Flames Brought Under Control on. the
Misunderstanding Arrives at
Halifax Still! Burning.

Halifax, N. S., July 12.-The steam
er Minnehaha of the Atlantic Trans
port line, bound for London, arrived
in the harbor with a fire still burning
in her cargo, the flames having spread
from No. hold into No. 4. The ship
is hot from stem to stern and the dam
age is believed to be extensive.
New York, July 10.-While the At
lantic Transport liner Minnehaha, the
largest Transport liner engaged in the
transport of munitions Of war to the
allies, is making her way to port at
Halifax. after having been turned back
from her course by an explosion and
lire in her cargo, officials of the line
are making every effort to learn the
details of the accident. 1t is widely
reported to nave been caused by a
bomb set by Frank Holt, supposedly
demented peace advocate, who before
taking his life in the Mineola Jail,
wrote to his ife that he had placed
bomb on a liner leaving New York.
The Minnehaha sailed Saturday for
Liverpool. When she was $40 miles
southeast of Halifax an explosion in
hold No. 8 set fire to her cargo, and
for a time i: was feared that her
great supplies of ammunition might be
blown up and the vessel sunk. The
explosive part of her cargo, however,
was stored in separate hold, and
after hard fight the crew extin-
guished the blaze and the ship and
cargo are now believed to be safe,
though the seriousness of the fire is in
Dictated by the fact that the vessel was
forced to turn back.

SPRAY OUTFIT FOR ORCHARD
Choice of Machine Must Be Governed
Largely by Number Of Trees and
Local Conditions.

Spray machines which get their
pumping power from the wagon wheel
are entirely inadequate to the present
requirements for orchard spraying and
are unsatisfactory where the size of
the trees necessitates stopping in or
der to do thorough work. These ma
chimes are very useful, however, for
spraying such crops as grapes, pota-
toes, tomatoes and the like.
The choice of spraying machine
must be governed largely by the size
of the orchard and the conditions
under which it is to be used. In an
orchard of fifteen acres, if the trees
are ten years old or more, a power
machine will soon pay for itself in
the saving of labor and the increased
profits from more effective spraying.
In large orchards there should be a
sufficient number of machines to make
an application in the course of six or

PRUNE GOOSEBERRY TO BUSH
Plant Should Be Reduced to the Num-
Der Of Plants That Will Grow in
Vigorous Condition.

qBy c. 1. LEWIS. Ohio Experiment Sta
TOM
Prune the gooseberry to bush. Ber-
ries are borne on the two, three and
four-year-old wood, but occasionally
the fruit grows too small on the four
year-old wood and it should be pruned
out. The currant bears most Of its
fruit on the two and three-year-old
wood. All canes of either of these
fruits should be cut out when they be.
gin to droop toward the ground, and
all canes that are weak.
The plant should be reduced to- the
number of plants that will grow in
vigorous condition. When canes tend
to grow gnarly, old and weak, they
should be removed. The entire plant.
ing should be renewed in from six to
ten years.
While the bushes will fruit for a.
longer time, the fruit tends to grow
too small to be profitable.
