RECENT FREEZE LIABLE TO
CAUSE SPREAD OF BLACK
STEM ROT IN ALFALFA
Freezing Breaks Bark. Allowing Rot
to Enter Stem-Mo~ing Will Stop
Spread.

So many inquiries have come in to
the Agricultural College following
the freeze Of June lst about the dam
age 10 alfalfa from the freeze that
Professor hczcr Of the agronomy de-
partment was asked what the dam
age might be. He replied:
Where the alfalfa is not positively
killed back by freezing. the greatest
damage is likely TO result from alfalfa
blight or black stem rot.
"Dr Sackett showed, several years
ago, that heavy frosts or freezes
would break the bark on alfalfa and
thus permit the black stem rot to en-
ter the alfalfa. The freeze does not
cause the rot but il breaks the bark,
thus permitting the rot to get into
the alfalfa.
Where fields are infected; that is,
where the rot has made its appear
ance, the thing TO do is TO NOW the
alfalfa at once. Such moving Will
stop the spread of the rot and prevent
its damaging the following crop.
Often such moving will permit of
saving a partial crop off of the land,
when If the crop is left standing the
black rot will spoil not only the crop
on the land but may attack the on
coming crop and spoil it, or at least
reduce the yield very much. Moving
will stop the spread"

Rains during the last three days of
May and the early part of June broke
the extended drought in most sections
of Colorado and greatly improved the
condition of all farm crops. In some
sections, particularly on the Western
Slope and in the southeastern and
east-central parts of the state, the
raifall was abou. sufficient to meet
the needs of the farmers. In the
northeastern part of the state, and
particularly in parts of Weld, Lari-
mer and Boulder counties, the rain
fall was light and crops are still suf-
fering for want of moisture. The con-
dition of winter wheat at this time is
approximately Is per cent below the
condition at the beginning of May.
The recent rains were generally suf-
ficient to bring up corn, beans and
other crops that had not yet germin-
ated. In a general way, it may be
said that the condition of all farm
crops is greatly improved as COM
pared with the condition reported at
this time last year.
Pastures are greatly improved as a
result Of the rain and cool weather
of the past week, and the condition of
livestock is gradually improving as a
result. Alfalfa suffered considerably
in some sections as result of the
frost, but the condition of this crop
il good.

Property owners who mag have un-

Is every evidence that the SHOWS have

NHORLED MILK WEED
GETS IN DEADLY WORK

By II. A. Lingreen, County Agent at
Montrose.
The Whorled Milkweed has begun
its deadly work on live stock already
this season. There has been several
losses so far among sheep. 1t will
poison at any period duringitsgrowth.
True stock will not eat it unless other
feed is short. At this season of the
year when the plant is young and ten
der, every effort should be made to
guard aginst losses by taking precau-
ton. This weed will have to be ham
died or the time will come when it
will be unsafe for the progress of live
stock raising. Last season some ex-
cellent steps were taken in prevent-
ing spread of the pest, but a continu-
Gus campaign against the weed is nee
esary. Flowing helps to keep il down.
The plants should be moved before
the seed natures, and burned to pre-
vent further spread thru the valley.
1t is important that it is not allowed
to get into alfalfa. There are often
those who have claimed to have fed
il to stock in pasture and otherwise
without loss of the animal. There are
more who have gone thru the expert
ence of losing from a few head to sew
seral hundred head from this weed.
1t is important that all be warned
against its deadly work.
If not acquainted with the plant Of
Whorled Milk Weed, call your county
agent or this office and it will be
shown to you so that you can be on
the lookout for it.

Radiealism in High Pieces.


At the Industrial conference Of tbs
inter-church world movement. held
recently at New York. Rev. Frank l.
Crouch of the Episcopal church loud
" advocated q shift in the control Of
industry" to the workers" which IL
exactly what the most violent boil
sheviks advocate. 1t Is implied that
the owners, managers. and clerical
force do not work. but that the hand
and machine laborers are all suf-
fcient and without the aid of the
aforesaid adjuncts to the business
can advance or withhold production
as they see 1T. Mr.. Crouch put forth
the same kind Of argument He
said:
although 1t is true that the workers
have not had managing experience. IN :.
dustFy rightfully belongs to them. II
their lives for. you deny them justice
1t is unnecessary to refute this alb
surd kind of logic and to point out
that the owners and managers give
far more of themselves to the bust
ness than the hands they employ.
Any sensible person knows that labor
never. at any time or place produced
anything. nor ever will. Industry
rightfuHy belongs to all those who
have had a share in it, not to any
one group who assumes to grab the
results of a combination Of forces as
its own. When the groups agree on
the disposal of the fruits of their
combined effort. industrial harmony
reigrs.
II is extremely dangerous for these
radical statements to be spread
abroad under the auspices OF such
widespread and eminentiy respect
able body as the inter-church move
ment represents. false doctrines
preached in high places are an hun
dred fold more dangerous than the
rawlings of wild haired Reds, because
the latter are passed by with a
shrug, while the former command
the attention of some people who ex-
pect wisdom from educated men.

Local Girl Writes of Expert
ence on Burning Steamship

Mrs. George 4. Quimby has receiv-
ed letter from her daughter. Mrs.
c. Chapman Pineo. written at Ste.
Lucia, West Indies and mailed at
Barbados. describing the experien-
ces OF the passengers of the Lamport
& Holt liner Vestries had on the
trip from New York to Rio. Mrs.
Pineo with her two children and
maid sailed on the Nestries from
New York in August and when two
days out the passengers became
aware that something was wrong,
the air was filled with smoke and
while there was at that time some
little apprehension among the pas
sengers there was said to be no dan
ger. At noon on the second day
there was a bad list and no one
knew just what to do. The steamer
finally reached the harbor at Ste.
Lucia and it was announced that all
the women and children we're to be
put ashore at three o'clock that aft
ernoon. Mrs. Pineo writes that she
was at her wits end with no one to
advise her and most Of the passen-
gers were in the same shape. One
would suggest one thing and some
one else another but they finally
packed what they could in a suit
case and we're put ashore at Ste.
Lucia. There they were housed in
an old military hospital which was
without furniture. Mattresses from
the steamship were placed on the
floor on which the women and child
rem slept. There were no chairs in
the building and they were obliged
to sit on the floor and eat, standing,
from packing boxes. They were on
the island for nearly a week in this
condition. Mrs. Pineo occupying one

Our Shipping Expansion.

It was recently said that the future
Of American shipping is best repre-
scented by a large question mark.
But the question mark Is neither
pessimistically quizzical nor skepti-
cally scornful. 1t is simply natural
to inquire what is to be the further
progress Of the phenomenal rise
from nothing to greatness that has
been accomplished in American ship
ping in less than two years.
The American flag. almost driven
off the seas. has now become more in
evidence in American harbors than
any other flag. and regular cargo
lines already established reach out to
the coasts of South America. North
Africa and Egypt. to the East Indies
and India. to Spain. Constantinople
and the Black Sea. to West and
South Africa, Australia. New Zea-
land. China. Japan. and the Philip
pines, to, all ports of Europe and; to
the West Indies.
In July the reports showed 25oS
American steamers of more than 500
gross tons in the ocean service Of the
United States. There were about a
million tons of sailing vessels. and
3S4 foreign steamers under American
control. About 1900 foreign owned
and controlled ships were in Ameri-
can trade. Thus it is shown that
purely American shipping far ex-
ceeds foreign shipping now engaged
in American trade. 1t is predicted
that by 1920 we shall have. both
privately and government owned,
about twelve or thirteen million tons
of shipping against Great Britain's
present fifteen million.
The task OF operating the present
feet is monumental. but it is being
done by the division Of operations OF
the Emergency Fleet Corporation.
These ships are carrying the Ameri-
can dag to ports that had not seen it
or. merchant vessels for years. Gov
eminent owned ships run on So regu-
lar trade routes and tramps are seen
in all ports. Final disposition Of the
government deet is still some dis
lance away. but many things are be.
ing learned now that will be useful
later. whatever IS done.
