ALFALFA IN TENNESSEE

You can't take a good picture OF
alfalfa as it is growing in the field,
no matter how good the crop may be
DIT how expert you may be as pho
bgrapher. This picture is really as
good as one ever sees, and yet the
alfalfa might be several things, as far
as the reader of this paper can tell. 1t
is alfalfa, however and it is growing
in Marion county. This field is owned
by one of the demonstrators working
under the direction of the County
Agent. A demonstration, for those
who do not know, is a farmer who
agrees to follow the instructions of
the County Agent in the growing of a
particular crop. He has certain records
to keep. Every now and then meet
ing is held on the demonstration land.
People can see in that way just what
certain methods of farming will do and
what they will not do.
The picture is not printing plain here
but you can see how high the alfalfa
reaches up on the legs of the farmers.

Fungus witt. This disease attacks
the plants thru the roots, and may be-
gin in the plant bed or in the field.
Symptoms: the lower leaves begin to
turn yellow and wilt, and gradually
the whole plant willis and dies. These
symptoms usually appear first when
the fruit is about half grown. The
fungus causing this wilt lives in the
soil
To control, rotate crops SO that to-
matoes will not follow tomatoes.
When a field is infected, leave off to-
matoes for four or five years. Grow
plants in beds free from disease. Re-
place the soil each year with fresh soil
from the woods or from fields where
tomatoes have not been grown. Carry
only healthy plants to the field Dis
eased plants can usually be told by
holding them up to the light. Black
streaks in the stem show that wilt is
present. Pull out all sickly looking
plants from the rows and replace them
with healthy ones. Spraying Will not
control this disease. The following
commercial varieties are more or less
resistant to wilt. Livingstoas Globe,
Hastings Duke of York, and Buckeye
State.
Bacterial VIII This disease is COM
mon in some sections. The leaves in
the top of the plant begin to wilt first,
and the disease works down the plant
till it dies. This disease also lives in
the soil and is spread from plant to
plant by insects.
To control, rotate crops as for Fun
gus Wilt Spray the plants in the field

JOURNALISTIC CAVALRY

From the Mobile Register.
 The chivalrous nature of the French journalist is instanced by a recent oc- currence at Metz. Imprisoned by the Germans, M Houpert, former managing editor of Lorraine de Metz. was released on November l. He at once began mak-
 ing preparations for resuming publica- ton of his paper, the first issue to be on the day the victorious allies entered the eagerly awaiting former French city. Prior to the German occupation there were three French newspapers in Metz. M. Houpert announced that his first issue would carry the title also of his two contemporaries of former times. thus making simultaneous publication. He refused to take advantage of the fact that he was first on the ground, and generously made publication for them.
 We Americans can with profit emulate our French allies in matters of courtesy Our hearts are all right and we mean we'll but as a people we are generally too neglectful of those finer acts which add a great deal toward making life more pleasant for others. Thoughtful ness and kindness cost nothing, and yet bring a large return in good feeling Courtesy. which is but the evidence of consideration, may be likened to oil on the bearings of lifes machinery.

LUxEMBURG NEUTRAL. TERRITORY

From the. Kansas City Times.
 Germans, August 2, 1914, was the first act of war on the western front. Lux emburg was small independent state adjoining Belgium, and was assured of neutrality to which Prussia, France and Great Britain were all parties. The duchy was administered under q constitution promulgated in 1S48 and revised at various times. In spite of the protests of the Grand Duchess Marie Adelaide and the Treaty of London, 1867, the German troops marched across the neutral terri tory to get q more direct route to France. When Belgium became independent in 1881, Luxemburg was divided between it and Holland the latter, however, re- taining little more than the capital till
 1889, when, by a treaty signed in Lon don, another part of the territory was taken from Belgium and added to form the present duchy, which remained sub ject to the Netherlands. When the Ger manic confederation was dissolved in 1866, the King of Holland wished to sell the grand duchy, which had been gar risoned since 1915 by Prussian troops Bismarck intervened, and by the Treaty of London, Luxemburg was made nett tral sovereign state under the guarantee of the powers.

Brown on Hog Cholera

Every time a mans hog gets sick he thinks it has cholera" said Hamlin L. Brown, county farm demonstration agent.
 ''The truth about the matter is that many people let their hogs sleep in the dust and take stomach worms into their systems, and they also allow them to sleep out in the open, ex- posed to the weather, the result being that they take pneumonia or something else

Hale Had MT Hale not noticed these broken bits of glass before he drove his car over them he would prob ably have cut his rubber tires to pieces Not knowing, we were unable to say who perpetrated this heinous and malicious trick, but 1t is beyond human hyperbole to believe anyone could have such an arch enemy who would deliberately, fel- oniously and with malice aforethought desire to injure another's property in such a helish scheme as this.

MYSTERY OF THE CASUALTY LISTS

From the New York World
 An apparent paradox of the war situa- ton as it affects America has been the recent swellings of the day by day cas- ualty lists, even while the armistice, TOW entering it's fourth week, was getting into it's full swing. This is explained, of course, by the fact that the official events. We still are hearing from the last vital actions of the fighting period
 Another matter of the battlefield re- turns is less simple of explanation With the lists recently printed, America s cas- naltes as reported to the public prints amounted to 103,467 in the army and i,312 for the marine corps. But on Mo- vember 23, General March, chief of staff. gave out at Washington figures showing a casualty total of 236,117. including 53. l69 deaths while on Sunday last, Decem- Der 1, these totals were further enlarged to 262,693 and 5S47S respectively This leaves nearly 16oOOO names yet to be reported.
 iItdNlIS dsiuS llioulLlClcnl tuSOi ilCS o' to censorship and the inconclusiveness of hospital rolls, there is room for one ex- planatory suggestion. It Is offered not as an alarmist propositions; under the circumstances, the figures being out. 1t can hardly add to the anxieties of any home over here. The conditions afford reasonableness to tue proposition that be- hind the daily reports simply of "shor! advances" by our army in the Ar gonne region in October and November lay the details of the bitterest conflict of the war, perhaps of one of the great est battles in all time
 Some day soon we shall know the whole truth about that Ions fight. Some day history may set the Argonne battle al the peak of Americas first adventure u world crusade for freedom.
