Wilt Is Cause
of Plant Dying in Spots

Does your alfalfa now die out In
three or four years. where before it
used to live a good deal longer? Or
does 1t die only In spots, and seem
to lack vigor?
Maybe the trouble is alfalfa wilt.
This is caused by a breed Of microbes
which get into the plant somehow, and
plug up the sap vessels. The plants
may look all right, and then suddenly
wilt down on a hot day. Later In the
summer, some Of the plugged roots
may produce pale, spindling shoots
with small leaves. If you cut across
the tap root of these plants. the
woody part will be found yellow and
discolored next the bark.
Not a great deal is yet known about
this disease. Scientists think that the
microbes enter the plants through
wounds, but how to stop the injury
is not yet known. Dlsking alfalfa
may sometimes lead to this trouble,
and probably shouldn't be done IL
there is any wilt in your section
Farm Life.

Pays to Know Volume of
Timber in Farm Woodlot

1t pays to know the volume of tim
Der in a farm woodland before max.
Ing a sale. says the forest service,
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. If the farmer does not know
how to estimate standing timber, he
would do well to call in expert assist
ance, which can often be obtained
through the county agent or state ex-
tension forester. The value Of such
an estimate is shown by the expert
ence of a woodland owner in William
son county, Tenn. The highest bid
which he received for his tract of
hardwood timber before it was esti-
mated was $2,700, which he was in
clined to accept However, he en-
ployed an experienced cruiser to esti-
mate the timber and assist him In
finding other bidders. Within three
months the tract was sold for $4,000,
half In cash and half due in six
months. The cruiser charged $500 for
his services, and the owner thus net
ted $4,000, or $1,000 more than he
would have obtained without securing
assistance.

GERMANS DEVELOP
HUGE FLYING BOAT
Craft Will Have Speed of 165
Miles an Hour.

New York.-Germany has devel-
oped an amazing flying boat with 10
motors and wings with a spread of
2S2 feet that is expected to make
regular 24-hour transatlantic fights.
The machine weighs 256,0O0 pounds
IFS tons. 1t will be able to carry
100 persons and 1900 pounds of
freight. Its maximum speed will be
1G5 miles an hour.
These details were heard from
Fritz Doering, chief pilot and per-
sonal representative of the Rumpler
Airplane works in Berlin, and Consul
Louis j. Skinitzero, who have arrived
here to complete negotiations with q
group of American business men from
New York, Chicago and San Francisco
for formation of a company to finance
the enterprise.
DIR. L. Rumpler, head of the organ.
ization bearing his name, is one of the
leading plane builders In Europe. He
has built airplanes since 1908 and has
worked on the problem of trans
oceanic flights since the end Of the
war. Doctor Rumpler has invented
the new "multi-motored" flying boat.
The basic idea behind this machine
Doering explained, is decentralization
of weight and all motion units. Use
Of q large number of motors assures
greater safety, he said. Six motors
would be sufficient to lift the plane
and its cargo from the ground, and
four motors would be enough to sus-
tain flight. Therefore, he said, motor
trouble is likely to be forgotten, as
there always would be sufficient re-
serve motors.
These boats will cover the distance
from Europe to the United States In
"A hours, the sponsors say. 1t is
planned to make nonstop flights
which will pass over the Azores on
the way to America, and over New
%foundland on the way to Europe.
Doering, one of Germany's 1ying
aces during the war, was the first to
import American motors to- Germany.
Doctor Skinitzero, who has been ac-
tive in extending the market for
American goods, represents several
great American companies In Europe.

Jefferson Found His

Thomas Jefferson liked to write let

wrote John Adams In 1917 that from
dinner to dark he was %"drudging at
the writing table"
"All this" he continued, ito answer
letters into which neither interest nor

often from persons whose names l
have never before heard. Yet, writ
ing civilly, 1t is hard to refuse them
civil answers. This Is the burden of
my life, a very grievous one indeed,
and n which l must get rid Of"
He consented to write q few lines
of Introduction TO one of Delaplaine's
books that he might make there a
public appeal for relief from this bur-
den, but IL does not appear to have
been successful, for he wrote Adams
In 1922 that he had received 1857 let
tiers the previous year and had an

required long replies and some extern

Spuds Colder Than
Ice May Not Freeze
Habits of Potatoes Stored in
Bins and Sacks.

Proyerbially, there are few things
hotter than q hot potato. Conversely,
a cold potato may be colder than ice,
yet not be frozen. Scientists in the
laboratories of the United States De.
partment of Agriculture have been
studying the circumstances and extent
Of injuries to potatoes by freezing,
and have discovered that the tubers
behave in rather peculiar ways under
extreme cold.
Depending upon differences in notp-
toes. varieties, seasons, and soil con-
litionS, the freezing point of potatoes
varies. Normally it is near 20 degrees
Fahrenheit. Because Of "undercool-
Ing" the tubers may survive temper
atures materially below freezing, with.
out damage, because no ice is formed
within them. But u slight jar may
cause Capitalization, and the potatoes
will freeze" sometimes In half a
minute.
Potatoes in a bin will not freeze as
quickly as potatoes In barrels or
sacks, because there is less movement
OF cold air about them. Potatoes which
have been exposed to a temperature
of 20 degrees or less should have heat
brought to them. Carrying them to
the heat may jolt them and cause
them to freeze, the experts say.
1t was found that If potatoes are
stored for some time at Il temperature
arouno &c degrees Fahrenheit, their
freezing point changes and becomes
lower than that of similar potatoes
stored at higher temperatures.

A mother love so intense it led her to

today stood revealed as the background
of murder indictments against Mrs.
Sarah Louisa Northcott and her 81
year-old son, Gordon Northcott, under
arrest in Canada.
CYRUS Northcott, husband and father,
told authorities yesterday that his sons
desires ruled the mother and led her to
take a hand in each of several eXecu-
tions. Sanford Clark, IS, grandson of
Mrs. Northcott, corroborated the state
ment and described the killing of WAL
ter Collins, 9-year-old Los Angeles boy.
He said he was forced to participate in
the Staying to insure his silence.

authorized at recent mass meeting to-

stituted town council. These suits will
require Councilman Phillip Talbot of
the second ward and Councilman Mil
ton Roberts of the third ward to es-
tablish their authority to hold Office
under alleged unlawfully conducted cleo
ton last June. The petitions set forth
that in practically every step the con-
trolling election laws of the State were
ignored or violated, the most serious al
legation being that the report of the
judges to the council was inaccurate
and not based on results lawfully de-
tcrmined. The petition sets forth that
on the day after election the poll book
OF the town was opened and altered, in

judges.
According to Mai. l.. P. Daniel, these
