LOCO WEEDS CLEARED FROM RANGE

U. of A., Tucson :-The prob lem of handling livestock on the range to avoid loss from poison ous plants is a puzzling one each spring.
 This spring Dr. c. D. Marsh was secured by the Agricultural Extension Service from the Bureau of Animal Industry al Washington, D. C., to make the rounds of the counties with the county agents and give stock men such practical suggestions as he could to help them avoid loss. Dr. Marsh has given many years study to the prob lem 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 practical 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 stockmen to attempt to keep the stock away from such loco areas during the time Of year when forage was scarce.
 Dr. Marsh aroused particular interest in his recommendations in Apache and Navajo counties, according to county agent c. k. Fi]lerup. Besides the usual recommendations Dr. Marsh under certain conditions urged the actual digging out of the loco plants on the range. Stock men who have quetioned the practicability of this operation will be interested to know that Golfer Brothers of Golfer and Springerville have actually cleared of loco weed about 12 sections of their fenced range at a cost of approximately S1OO per section, which they count as entirely practical and a good investment.
 Formerly they had lost num- bers of horses, mules and cattle from the loco weed. This is notable departure from the old conception that these weeds cannot be eradicated.
 About Winslow about 50 sections are to be weeded out and numerous smaller areas are being gone over with a hand wedding
 Many of the sections. accord ing to MT. Fillerup, are literally covered with loco. In cutting the plants they are chopped off just below the crown and the plants do not come out again from the root It is not neces- sal'y therefore, to uproot the entire plant as some stockmen had supposed,
 The loco weed does not grow abundantly except in seasons when there is an abundance of moisture. The plants come up in the fall, winter or early spring following a wet summer and are often the only green plant above ground at certain time in 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 | mountain loco which is peren- nial. The dry loco plant is as poisonous to the animal as the

 LACKING COAL
(By United rressl

! Chicago, July Lacking coal, in- dustries of the United States will be deadlocked within another 10 days of strike, it was predicted today by President Soarle of the Illinois Coal Operations Association. MT. Searle said that all operators of the middle west share his opinion of the strike, which has now gripped coal production of the entire central section of the United States.
 The strike of Illinois, Indiana and Kansas miners has brought the in- dustrial world face to face with its most critical situation, it was indi- cated today by reports that the strike has spread and has added Iowa miners to the probable list of those walking out. Iowa miners will go in conference tomorrow with operators for the pur- pose of negotiating satisfactory wage scale, by which the strike may be forestalled.

SAYS ]. s. AID BADLY NEEDED
 IN OLD WORLD
(By IInite,j press) !

Paris, July 27-High officers of the French republic are in conference to- day with Premier Lloyd George in the most important diplomatic gath ering since the first armistice nego- tiations with Germany, in the opin- ion of French diplomats and news paper observers. Frances diplomats declare that the question of the Rus so-Polish armistice is the most lmpor- tant developed in Europe since the armistice ended the world war.
 A Bolshevik ruse is seen in the at titude of moderation assumed by the Moscow government in agreeing to the allied request for discussion of an armistice with Poland. When the al lied statesmen are met, the Bolshevlkl possibly hope to persuade them to surrender General Wrangel, anti-Bol- shevik leader in south Russia and now the most formidable enemy of soviet supremacy In exchange for thls concession, Paris official circles pre- dict that the Bolshevik peace party will agree to recognize the debt of Russia to France, previously repudi- ated by the Lenine-Trotsky govern government.
 In editorial discussion of the Rus sian problem, the Matin today reiter- ated it's declaration that no satisfac- tory solution can be achieved without the cooperation of the United States. This widely circulated journal has re- peatedly insisted that Europe can not make postwar adjustments without the friendship and active help of the United States.
