CLEARING LOCO
 WEED FROM RANGE

The problem of handling likestock on the range to avoid loss from pOis- ,nous plants is puzzling one each spring.
 This spring Dr. c. D. Marsh was secured by the agricultural extension service from the bureau of animal in dustry at Washington, D. C., to make the rounds of the counties with the county agents and give the stockmen such practical suggestions as he could to help them avoid loss. Dr. Marsh has given many years study to the problem on western ranges.
 As a result of this service some very definite steps have been taken by stockmen to avoid loss from loco which is probably the worst poison weed pest in Arizona. Formerly the only prac- tical help which could be given a stockman was to help him distinguish the deadly species of loco from the harmless ones and to advise the stock men to attempt to keep the stock away from such loco areas during the time of year when other forage was scarce.
 Dr. Marsh aroused particular in terest in his recommendations in Apache and Navajo counties, accord ing to County Agent c. R. Fillerup. Besides the usual recommendations Dr. Marsh under certain conditions urged the actual digging out of the loco plants on the range. Stockmen who have questioned the practicabil- ity of this operation will be interested to know that Colter Brothers, of Col ter and Springerville. have actually cleared of loco weed about 12 sections of their fenced range at cost of ap- proximately $100 per section, which they count as entirely practical and a good investment
 Formerly they had lost numbers of horses, mules and cattle from the loco weed. This is a notable departure from the old conception that these weeds cannot be eradicated.
 About Winslow about 30 sections are to be weeded out and numerous smaller areas are being gone over with hand wedding.
 Many of the sections, according to Mir. Fillerup, are literally covered with loco. In cutting the plants they are chopped off just below the crown and the plants do not come again from the root. It is not necessary therefore, to uproot the entire plant as some stockmen had supposed.
 The loco weed does not grow album. dantly. except in seasons when there is an abundance of moisture. The plants come up in the fall, winter O, early spring following a. wet summer and are often the only green plant above the ground at certain time ir

sides. If, after registering, the elector moves to another precinct or county, he or she must cancel such first reg istration and then re-register in the precinct or county where elector then resides. A person must not register more than once without first cancell- ing any prior registration. To fraud ulently register more than once or to knowingly register in any precinct where he is not resident at the time of registering, is a criminal offense and subjects the offender to fine in the sum not exceeding TWO thousand dollars, or imprisonmeyt not exceed ing three years, or both.
 EVERYBODY MUST REGISTER THIS YEAR if they wish to vote at the primary election on September 7th or at the general election on Novem. Der End, or at apy other election that may be held within the next two years. No registration of former years will suffice.
 This office will make every effort to properly register all legal voters be-

NEW POISONOUS PLANT
 DANGEROUS TO STOCK

A plant of the pea family, known to botanists as the astragalus tetrapt- erus, growing in the foothills of south ern Utah and western Nevada, has been found to be poisonous to cattle and sheep. Further search may indi- cate a wider range of growth. The United States department of agricul- ture, which has been making a prelim- mary investigation of the effects of this plant, considers it a sufficient menace to warrant preliminary warning.
 The plant occurs in scattered patch es, never in large quantities as is the case with some Of the recognized loco plants. It blooms early in June and generally dries up later in the sum- mer. It is perennial leguminous plant belonging to the same family as the locoes, alfalfa. etc. It stands from to 2 feet high. It has linear leaves, small and rather 'inconspicuous flow CTS of light purple color, and pecul- far pods possessing four wings--a fea- ture which makes identification rather easy. Early in the season before new pods are formed those of the preced- ing year ordinarily can be found on the old plants.
 Apparently the symptoms caused by eating this poisonous weed are not especially characteristic. The animal affected staggers as it walks, the weakness being more pronounced ir the hind legs. In the case of stee, there were mild spasms with violen, expirations. In a sheep, which was killed by eating the plant, there was nausea and an excessive flow of saliva in addition to depression and weak ness.
 At this stage of the investigation no advice can be given as to the treat ment of poisoned animals, the fedora scientists state. Stockmen should rec ognize, however, that the plant is in furious to cattle and sheep. and prob

ably also to horses. When other for age is lacking the eating of this plant in large quantities may cause serious losses. If a heavily grazed range where the plant is abundant is used, it is reasonable to expect some deaths among the animals. Those becoming affected should be removed to where they can get abundant feed. Prob ably alfalfa pasture is particularly de- Ysirable.
 That stockmen and others interested in this question may be able to ident- fly the plant definitely, the depart ment of agriculture has published an illustrated department circular, Mo- 81, copies of which may be had by writing to the department, Washing ton, D. C.

the spring. At this time horses and cattle eat them. In northern Arizona the loco seeds in June and July and then dies except with the white noun tain loco which is perennial. The dry loco plant is as poisonous to the ami maj as the plant when green. | So deeply interested were the stock men in Dr. Marsh's methods of loco control that 1D3 stockmen came out to three meetings in Navajo county to hear him.
 Some stockmen in this part of the state have been following Dr. Marsh $ plan of treating locoed stock with strychnine to bring about recovery. MT. A. J. Mckay, of Nutrioso, treated a badly locoed steer and saved the animal. The steer was recently fat tened and sold for beef, bringing $70; the cost of fattening and treating be- ing about $27.

fore the primary election. The public can aid materially in our work by reg istering as soon after May 3rd as pos sible.
 An amendment to the registration laws provides that the elector when registering shall give his party af- filiation, or say that he has none, if such is the case. Any elector refus- ing to give his party affiliation cannot register. If he has no party afilia- ton he may so state, and in order to register, this question in thes regis tration blank must be answered. This question of registering without giving a party utilization does not affect the elector at the general election, but is an important factor at the primary for selection of candidates for the general election, for unless a party utilization is given the elector will not be permitted to vote for any of the candidates on the regular printed pri- mary ballot.

GERMAN OBJECTS
TO AMERICAN COWS
Enough Fodder for Them-D0es
Not Want American Flour

BERLIN, Oct. 22.-Food Controller
Hermes' opposition to the admission into
Germany of the 5000 cows donated by
American farmers and against the impor-
tatOn of flour from America said to have
been offered by New York bakers has
aroused the wrath Of some of the Liberal
newspapers of Berlin.
They charge the food controller with
interpOSing objections which have com
plicated the negotiations with the Amerl-
can company which is assembling the
cows donated by American farmers and
declare that the ministerial pedantry
which threat ned for a time to deprive
Germany of the American gift of cows
will be made the object Of Interpolation
in the ReichStag.
The food controller demurred to ac-
cepting the cows on the ground that their
transportation across the Atlantic was
not feasible and that there was a shortage
of fodder for them here.
His critics say that if the Americans
could send across the ocean 100000
soldiers with fighting equipment and food,
they ought to be able to move 5000 COWS
across. They add that the cows will only
take the place of those delivered to France
and Belgium which would have been fed
in Germany.
The food controllers opposition to I'M
controlled importation Of American -four
was based on fear that it would disrupt
arrangements already made to ration the
people. The Berlin bakers are anxious
to have the American flour sent here in
the hope that it will break the monopoly
now held by German farmers.
