and ordered the suit dismissed. Jus

In a dissenting opinion written by

was held that it would be little short

have taken similar action should be
required to wait until the legislators)

The United States Department ot
Agriculture warns .against the use
ot any preserving powders or

courages careless and uncleanly work
snd their excessive use may be at

If this opinion is final, and it is
unless the Court should, upon a re
hearing change its mind, it means
that the last issue of Crook County
bonds will not pass legal inspection.
It means that the legislature will
have to act and then another elec
tion held before bonds in excess of
the two per cent limitation could be
i&pued. Just what effect it might
have on the contracts now under way
is worrying tbe county courts, as the
county will be unable to pay its share
of the contract price without the pro
ceeds of the bonds authorized. To
say the least, it means that no more
co-operative road work will be un
dertaken in this county until th
matter of voting a legal issue can
be worked out
LEGUMINOUS HAY- '

- Alfalfa now has an acreage great

In combination with another. Ot
the total tame hay acreage in 1919,
alfalfa occupied 21.1 per cent, tim
othy and clover mixed, 18.2 per cent
timothy 16.9 per cent, clover 12.3
per cent, pea 8.7 per cent, grain cut
green, 7.7 per cent, and all others
16.1 per cent.' It the acreage ot the
timothy and olover mixed is equal
ly divided between those two plants
the timothy acreage becomes 25 per
cent of the tame hay acreage, and
clover 21.4 per cent, so that timothy
is still the leading hay plant snd tbe
clovers have second place, s little
above alfalfa. :
.. The leguminous plants, alfalfa,
clover, 1-2 of clover and timothy
and pea are 61.2 per cent of the hay
acreage and that is a significant fact
that more than one-half oi the tarns
hay acreage is now devoted to plants

'10 years ago, as the census testifies.
hardly one third ot the tame hay
area was leguminous. This compar

Indicative of Cox's management of
affairs in Ohio was his action in re
moving the mayor of Canton, a dem
ocrat, and his substitution for his of
a republican mayor. -There
was a strike of mill workers
at Canton. Operators attempted to
resume work in the fact of the strike
and a considerable disorder followed.
The governor issued a proclamation
calling on Vocal officials in all the
cities and counties to do their full
duty to preserve order and prevent
outbreaks. He told them violation
of the law on the part of either the
strikers or mill owners would not be
tolerated and announced he would
hold the local officials to strict ac
countability. Is Foe to Profiteers.
Disorder continued at . Cantoy.
City officials citizens and mill own
ers asked the governor to send in
state troops. Cox replied by re
moving the mayor and ordering the
mobolization of the national guard
to support the new mayor, but re
fusing to send , troops to Canton.
Peace was restored. ,
