TO that somewhat abundant and aggravating tribe
known as "Knockers," attention is called to weather
conditions, east of tho Rookies, as set forth in the day's
press dispatches. Besides the woes, tho people of the
Rogue river valley, and Southern Oregon think they suffer,
the lot of the dweller in the east, looms large. It might not
be so much amiss if n wise Fate decreed that the rank and
file of the "Hammer Brigade" spend the August dog days,
in the sweltering, torrid, soul and heart racking tempera
lure of the countrv between the Rockies and the Atlantic.
Fnih-rc to cure would indicate hopelessness of reform from
knocking.
Last night; lodford residents, comfortable beneath
blankets, awoke upon a summer's day ideal and perfect.
with just enough of heat to make it seem as summer. In
the east, women and children died, the hospitals were
filled before noon with the victims. In the middle west,
four lost their reason, and became lhnd; another, harassed
by the torrid blasts sought relief in "another bourne" by
self snuffing of the candle of his life. The crops are gone
in four states thov have no wav to fiijht the wrath of
Old Sol.
The temperatures of tho summer months in the Rogue
river valley would be interesting and instructive reading
most any place east of the Rockies just now. Like Cali
fornians, we should capitalize our never failing asset cli

from tho Foil, but tho Ucccssary

tho common soil there arc 130 mil

bacteria mutt hnvo for their food,
humus, then they will liberate food
for the growth of plants.
Tho supply of humus, tho supply
ot nitrogen, tho physical condition
of tho poll tho penetration, aeration,
and porosity of tho subsoil, can be
established by tho growth of sweet
clover at i cheapness that Is start
ling. Nor is it a hard plant to
grow; it Is oneIf not the most har

not grow at all and where field

An excrlmcnt In Alabama, on

SPECIAL AT STAR
Says Blight Is Tuberculosis of the Roots
The following, showing tho dense
ignorance prevailing iu eastern dis
tricts regarding fruit disenscs, is
taken from n recent i'suc of tho
Celiuu, Ohio, Standard, nnd illus
trates how the orchardUt is still an
easy victim of the horticultural quack
ami vendor of worthless nostrums,
depito the researches, nnd publica
tion o the U. S. department of agri
culture. The article follews:
To the people of Mercer ceunty:
I have been called on to help in
L-cttinir all the fruit growers to rnnke
one great united effort in stopping
scale and blight on the trees. After
u. two weeks trip around examining
trees nnd shrubbery, I find them In
bnd condition, hut not beyond repair
as sonio discouraged peoplo hupjwse.
As u mutter of course, scale nud
blight arc organic diseases, caused
from tin insufficiency of sap and
must bo cured by medicine which en
ters tho system of tho tree.
Sruying is 7iccc!snry for tho ex
termination of insects, but it must bo
remembered that blight is not an in
sect. It is a peculiar form of tuber
culosis of tho roots or iu plainer
terniH n sort of n starvation for wunt
of sap.
Well, you ask, what fliiill Je done?
O. K. Gneider of New York linn been
successful in gcttins together n fluid
which when applied to the root, will
drive every vestigo of blight and
scale from tho system of (he trees
by making the tree absorb more snp.
Take your knife nnd cut into the
bnrk at the bottom of tho tree nnd
you will find apparently, plenty of
sap, then rut the bark S or 10 feet
high, nnd the condition is rccrcd.
From this experiment you can find out
yourself that the sap is failing to
reach tho cxtremitios of the limbs,
and whero the sap fails to reach you
cnti expect nothing but death' or
blight. It is far from my desire to
advertise nny mnn or medicine, but
In view of tho fact that Mr. Gneider
has successfully demonstrated tho
power of Ids liquid in returning nor
mal conditions of sup, I feel justi
fied iu recommending its immediate
use. What wo want is something
that will do tho work. Now people,
let us nil put our best efforts for
ward and we ran clean our trees up
nicely iu four or five weeks. I will
try and sco you, talk with you, and
most likely cat with you.
With kindest regards, I remain
