With the band were many rooters
for Brawley, and Judge Brewer,

of Brawlev and its hopes in the
coming election.

John B. Baker was over from

Once more we have the humid.
sticky weather typical of August,
and it is not at all welcome. Con-
ISOLATION is found in the fact that
the second of the hot quartet ot

airy individual to take a vacation
after the election than has thus far
been afforded.

HAND SHAKING

his hand and shook it vigorously, saying, I'm from

Indeed" replied Hndenberg, ruefully looking at
his hand. so see.''
The iron Hindenburg' couldn't stand the Ameri-
can hand-shake Foreigners in general find it rather
hard to endure.
The "pu.np-handle movement may be all right.
Most Americans believe in that form of manual salu-
taton, and practise it with enthusiasm 1t may be
ntrinscalv superior to the delicate, overland finger
tip pressing affected by most foreigners and by many
of the politer sort in country But really,
there doesn't be any sound reason for subject
ing the hand of lnsuspecting victim to a plow-
handle squeeze.
Our presidents often have their hands put out of
commission by this sort of attack. The only
public has is take his from the aggressors,
AM grip their hands tightly in sef-defense, before
they get the grip his. But that wears out the
muscles, which is almost bad having the fingers
and palm crushed pulp.

Bacterial Wilt
Alfalfa Disease


Many alfalfa growers have COM
planned to the United States De-
partment of Agriculture during the
past three years that their stands
of alfslfa now die out in three, four
or five years where they once liv-
cd much longer. These complaints
have come from many places, especi-
ally from the central and southern
Mississippi Valley, and also from
scme irrigated districts.
1t is not always possible to namc
the specific cause of alfalfa dying
out; in fact, there is often more
than one cause operating. But as
n result of the attention which these
complaints have focused upon the
alfalfa crop, one fact has become
clearly apparent. There is in the
United States bacterial wilt dis
ease Of alfalfa which was not pre-
viously recognized. This disease,
according to Fred R. Jones, path.
ologist of the department, is res
ponsible for great deal, if not for
the larger part of the trouble that
growers have experienced. Moro
over, it appears that bacterial wilt,
which now occurs in at least a few
fields in practically every alfalfa
growing district of the United
States, may become more thorough
ly disseminated than at present and
thus in some districts develop into
the most serious disease with which
alfalfa culture must contend.
The organism causing the disease
enters the plant through wounds
and passes downward through the
taproot and upward through the
stems. At length the entire planl
may wilt suddenly on hot day.
Later in the summer some of the
affected roots produce. short pale
colored spindling shoots with small,
narrow leaves. When the taproot or
such plant is cut across, the
woody portion of the root is found
yellow and dis colored close beneath
the bark. When the bark is stripped
back the wood is found yellow OF
brown. altogether unlike the white
wood of healthy plants. This dis
colored wood distinguishes the dis.
ease from winter injury and other
trouble.
The bacterial wilt disease is now
being studied by the department
and State experiment stations to
determine its distribution, how
it is carried from field to field,
when and through what kinds of
wounds it most frequently enters
tie plants, and whether there is
varietal resistance to the disease.

of the others are considerably off

TIE NICAR4GUAN BATTLE

The recent battle in Nicaragua between rebel
band and American marines does not make pleasant
summer reading either in the United States or in
South America. American citizens have justified the
presen'e of orr fighting in Nicaragua on the
ground that they were maintaining peace For them
to make war not in the program most citizens
have seen the situation
The immediate of the fighting was the re-
fusal of Sen Sandiro's army to dsarm in accordance
with the policy initiated by the American government
about two months ago At that time it agreed
that all factors Were to lay down their arms, and it
was plainly stated that would diSarm forcibly
