CIRCUS MAY BLOCK
c. OF c. LUNCHEON
Plans Under Consideration to
Omit Mid-W eek Session
On June 28

It is possible that the weekly lunch.
con of the Chamber of Commerce
may be omitted next Wednesday,
June 28.
1t happens that on that day the
Sells Floto-Buffalo Bill circus is to
exhibit in Mt Vernon. Already the
members of the committee that are
to serve the c. of C.. luncheon next
Wednesday are finding difficulty In
finding a sufficient number of workers
to prepare and serve the dinner Each
and always the excuse is that they
wish to see the circus parade or to
take the children to see it or they
wish to go to the circus.
Because of the greater number OF
visitors who may be in Mt. Vernon
because of the circus there seems to
be an anticipation that the merchants
will be disinclined to leave their
stores to come to the luncheon.
Plans are under consideration to
omit the dinner for next week. How
ever, no definite announcement has
been made, thus far, that the dinner
will not be given.

DEATH VALLEY, CALF,
HOTTEST PLACE ON EARTH

Ten years of records obtained at
at the United States Weather Bureau
substation at Greenland ranch in
Death Valley, Calf, indicate that this
is the hottest region in the United
States, and probably on earth. The
average of extreme maximum tenn
perature reported to the United
States Department of Agricul-
ture since 1911 has been 1875
degrees F. At Greenland ranch tenn
peratures of 100 degrees F. or higher
occur almost daily during June, July
and August. The hottest month on
record is July, 1917 when the mean
temperature was 1912 degrees r.
But the temperature of 1874 degrees
r., observed on july 10, 1918, is be-
-lieved by meteorologists to be the
highest natural-air temperature ever
recorded with a standard tested Their
mometer exposed in the shade under
approved conditions.
Death Valley is from two to eight
miles wide and about 100 miles long,
lying between high mountain ranges.
1t is the deenest depression in the
United States, some estimates plac-
ing its lowest point at 337 feet below
sea level. Greenland ranch is 178
feet below sea level. White people
find the midsummer heat intolerable,
and even the Indians go up to the
Panamint Range during July and
August.
The normal annual precipitation
in Death Valley is less than two
inches. Successful agriculture can
not be maintained on less than Is or
20 inches of annual precipitation
without the aid of irrigation. A
group of springs serve as the source
of irrigation-water supply for Green
land ranch. The water has tenn
perature of about 100 degrees F. and
is only sufficient to irrigate 10 acres.
Four crops of alfalfa are gathered
each year. The principal product Of
the ranch is dressed meat. but ex-
periments are being made in raising
poultry and in growing vegetables,
dates, citrus and deciduous fruits.

MOULD ON RED CLOVER


In the past week or two our atten-
ton has been called to the fact that
on most Of the fields of red clover
there is peculiar growth, or kind Of
mould, that looks at little distance
like old-fashioned plaster had been
sown on the plant.
Our people have not known
whether the clover thus affected
would be injurious to stock when
grazed in the fields or when cut for
hay We are glad now to have 1t
from no less authority than Dr. Geo.
R. White, state veterinarian, that the
clover with this mould is no. injurious
70 stock and should be saved and used
as usual. DR.. White says.
During the past few days many
farmers have observed a mould or
mildew on the leaves Of red clover in
fields. Some have intimated that in
the event this affected clover was cut
and cured for hay it would be dan
gerous for livestock when fed to
them On account of the alarm that
exists among the farmers, some have
gone so far as to abandon entirely
saving their clover hay crop and are
allowing it to go to waste in the field.
I have visited affected fields and
there witnessed and examined the
alluded-to mouldv growth developed
and developing on the green leaves Of
growing red clover.
AS the writer understands the con-
dition complained Of, it is a fungus
growth of a low type manifested by
the formation Of a mould or mildew,
which causes the whitish discolora-
tion observed on the leaves Of the af-
fected plants. This deposit of whit
ish down is without doubt patholo-
gical in nature as pertains to eX-
cessive atmospheric moisture pro
duced BY the long seige of rainfall,
through which developing red clover
fields Of Tennessee have recently
passed.
No bad results have been reported
to the state veterinarians office as
result of animals eating this affected
clover, either green in the field or
dried in the form of hay.N We person
ally know of quite a number of ami
mails that have eaten it without any
bad results. 1t is the opinion Of the
writer that this mouldv growth on
the leaves Of red clover is harmless
to livestock. This opinion is based
on the writer's professional knowl-
edge of moulds or mildew in general
and their relation to producing dis
eases in animals indirectly through
the medium of the feed.
We advise that the clover be cut
and cured for hay as has been done in
former years when the mildew was
absent
