CUTTING CONTROLS ALFALFA
AiLMENT.

Alfalfa yellows, an ailment which II
neglected results in permanent injury
TO alfalfa, can be controlled in only
one way, says the United States De-
parrment of Agriculture-by cutting
the crop as soon as the yellows appear.
This disease is characterized by yell
low discoloration of the leaves, which
In some Instances assume n copperlike
hue. The growth of the plant is
checked as soon as the yellowing at
tacks the ma ajorlty of the leaves. The
leaves fall off, the growth of the plant
is stunted, and unless the disease is
checked in time the alfalfa plants fire.
quently are permanently injured.
Ordinarily the yellOwing appears on
the second or third crop of alfalfa,
from June LIST to September 1st. The
cause has not been Identified, and no
effective treatment other than immedl-
ate cutting of the crop has been found
il the growth is adequate, the hay
should be raked, cured, and stored as
livestock roughage. If the growth is
only enough to provide clippings, the
best plan Is TO let them remain on
the ground. In most Instances the sub
sequent cuttings of alfalfa Will show
no evidences of yellowing where the
crop which was diseased Is handled in
the outlined manner.
All the commercial varieties of al
falfa adapted to agriculture through
out the northern two-thirds of the
United States are susceptible to alfal-
ia yellows.

FOOT AND HEAD DISEASE OF
CHICKENS MAKES APPEARANCE

With the new crop of chickens com
Ing on, reports of the peculiar foot and
head disease of chickens that has been
so serious on the dry lands of eastern
Colorado, are very numerous. 1t is a
disease largely of little chickens which
manifests itself by the formation of
blisters between the toes, around the
bill and on the eyelids. This is later
followed by scabby condition. The
eyelids are glued shut, toes turn up,
and In many instances the chickens
die, largely from inability to find food
The disease appears to be associated
in some way with sod, since it has not
yet been found on an irrigated farm.
However, 1t Is known to exist on dry
knolls in irrigated districts. Just what
this association is between sod and the
disease is still open to question.
In the older chickens that are fair.
ly strong, the application of carbolized
vaseline TO the scabby toes and heads
will be found reasonably effective in
sOftening these parts and in prevent.
ing serious distortions In the younger
chickens there appears to be no treat.

PLANS TO EXPORT puRE-eREp
STOCK.

To work out plans for increasing
the expectation of pure-bred breeding
stock from the United States to South
America, David Harrell and II. p. Nor
gan. of the Bureau of Markets, will
go TO South America as representa-
lives of the United States Department
of Agriculture. They recently con-
ferred in Chicago with secretaries of
various breeding associations. Secre-
taries representing all breeds of hogs
md all but two OF cattle attended.
Ways and means Of stimulating inter-
est among South American stock rails
ers In importations of pure-bred stock
from this country were discussed. 1t
was planned to send shipment of
hogs to South American livestock
shows. This plan, II is believed, Is
one of the best ways OF introducing
to South American stock raisers the
quality OF animals now being grown In
the United States.

Springfield. Mo-, Leader says:
Either the man who lives long
way from city In the most remote
corner of the county needs good rock
roads to market or he doesn't need
any. If he does he should have them
and have them right away. We can
build our good roads next year and be
using them or we can dribble along
for fifty years wasting money on little
repair jobs here and there or on
lightly constructed cheap roads which
wash away and give out with n few
years of storm and heavy traffic.
Was 1t better to spend several dozen
billions and call out everyone and win
the world war quickly or take life
time paying for It as we went along
by sending out a few hundred thou

volunteer? Is 1t possible to raise
enough money to build all these roads.

AMERICAN RED CROSS
Mountain Division.
Fourteenth and Weiton Streets, Dem
yer, Colorado.
Department of Publicity.

The American Red Cross wants to
distribute $50, ,2I0 in Colorado.
Now don't crowd Let's see first IL
you are the sort of person upon
whom the Red Cross wishes to bestow
some of this little fortune.
First let it be understood what this
S35, ,240 consists of. Ii represents al
lotments made by U. $. soldiers in
favor of wives, mothers, fathers and
other relatives, supplemented by gov
ernment allowances. Some of those
who made these allotments will never
return. Others. more fortunate, are
still in service or on their way out.
In Colorado there are $50 families
d d individuals who are totally un-
aware that the Red Cross wishes to
present them with checks running as
high MS 500. These checks are signed
by Uncle Sam, who has asked the Red
Cross to locate, thru its omnipresent
Home Service sections, the persons to
whom they run.
Being unaware of the widespread ac-
tivities of the Home Service depart
ment of the Red Cross scores of the
very persons In Colorado for whom
these government checks were issued.
are probably passing right by the of
flces of the Home Service in their re
spective communities.
Home Service representatives In
Colorado have received word from
Washington that The government Bn-
reau Of War Risk Insurance, thru
which checks of this kind are issued,
has 10000 unclaimed checks. OF 49,
600 cases referred to it the Red Cross
up to May /, had located the owners
of 300 checks.
Thrusting government checks on un-
suspecting persons is not the only func-
tion of the Home Service department
of the Red Cross, however. No mat
ter what the need of n soldier or his
family, the Red Cross will meet it
thru the Home Service section. Per-
haps there are persons In this COM
munity upon whom the Red Cross
would take delight in bestowing n
good old government check or render
ing other service.

RETIREMENT URGED
BY PR0GRESSlYES
POSTMASTER GEN. BURLESON
EXERCISED INTOLERABLE
AUTOCRACY.
PROMINENT KOREANS PRESENT
CAsEFORFREEDOM OF THEIR
COUNTRY.

If there be any one in the American
trade union movement, or in the Wilson
Democracy, or in the lines of industry
that are to any degree dependent upon
efficient postal or wire service, who has
not yet denounced Postmaster General
Burleson, the Democratic national COM
mittee would probably be relieved to
hear from that person.
Nothing like the anti-Burleson storm
has been known in cabinet politics since
Ballinger's day. The climax was
reached when the head of the post
office department forced the strike of
10000 men and women in the tele-
phone service in the New England
district. 1t was reached when Burleson's
subordinates refused to permit news
paper account of his official record to
be sent over the wires from one news
paper office to another.
For the first time since he entered the
cabinet six years ago, Burleson is alarmed
over his own political security. He
issued three statements this week, answer
ing the tidal wave Of editorial and verbal
attack upon his acts and his viewpoint.
Chairman Homer S. Cummings of the
Democratic national committee is said
to be convinced that "Burleson must
co. since Burleson himself seems to
feel that the public distrusts him.
Union Labor Aroused.
The attitude of union labor toward
the postmaster general is easily explained
by the fact that he has tried to use his
convict labor plantation methods on the
hundreds of thousands of American
men and women who earn their livings
in the postal and wire services. He has
not only refused to deal with the repre-
sentatives of their unions, but has fired
from the service. those whom the workers
elected as officers He has endeavored
to make record for economy by grind
ing down the employees rather than by
more efficient management.
Those who believe in government
ownership Of the telephones and tele-
graphs, on the other hand, feel that
Burleson, so far from helping this move
ment, has given it black eye. No
enemy of government ownership could
do n ore than he has done to ALLEVIATE
the feelings Of the employees and the
general public, which has had to put
up with inefficient service.
At the height Of the recent telephone
strike in New England the president
of the Massachusetts, Democratic club
and / 1 members of the legislature cabled
to Wilson: "Burleson wrecl1ing the
party. Remove him and settle this
strike" Washington is of the opinion
that the president will end his present
clreer as soon as he returns from the
peace conference if he has not resigned
