An goll in tho I'Vlmmry 1 issue ot tho Kruit Urowor tiiul Fanner, published nt St. Joseph. !Mo. It shows how nmeh better off we are in the Rogue River valley than fruit growers in the Washington fruit bolts are, because of ade quate protective laws. Yakima county's budget for the year included a $lf,000 item for fighting the blight and horticultural protection. It was the announced intention to use the entire sum for pest eradication and pathologist. A test case snowed that tlte money was not available because the, legislature had repealed tho law authorizing such levies. The decision leaves the growers helpless, with one inspector to 55,01)0 acres of orchard hind and from 7000 to SOOO cars of fruit annually. To quote Mr. Angel: The commlt-Monoi-a therefore promptly struck the $ IS, 000 Item from tho builcot. nn.l with the money from Its ltortlctilliitur.il fund prnctlrnliy nil bpont hv the extra work of tho sonson of 1U13. tho county and nlley were In October feeing the season when much of the most active work should have been done against blight, yet lu'lplo? to attack it. The situation in every largo fruit district in Washing ton is the same. Commenting upon it, District Horticul tural Inspector F. E. Do Sellout of North Yakima says: UulcfR the fruit growers and tho business men of this trinity como to the rojcuo and provide funds for carrjlng on tho work of orehard and fruit Inspection, tho season of I9M Is ant to bo a disastrous one Tho only way this office can bo effective Is by comprohonslc field work Prom soventeon men engaged In ncllo field work I was cut down in ono and three assistants Is tho most I hao had at any time this winter. 1 will be ablo to do no more than begin to cover tho work lit this county, which Is ono of tho largost In tho state in tho amount ot Inspection wor'v to bo done. The situation is so serious that it is now proposed to levy a voluntary tax upon the fruit growers of the county, through the various associations and individual shippers, in proportion to the size of the growers' shipments, though nothing definite has been done yet. lodistrieling the state will afford a little relief by diverting some state funds from western "Washington, and this is proposed. lean while the best season of the year to fight blight is rapidly passing. Mr. Angell says: Tlio ast amount of work which an ample pear blight Inspection service Invohcs Is shown by the report of Inspector DeSellem for tho mouth of July, when eighteen Inspectors worked a total ot 243 das during the month. Thoy Inspected -SIS orchards and found 10 lt infected. Horticultural Commissioner T. O. Morrison thus de scribes the spread of the blight in Yakima ceunty: There nns some blight in the Yakima valley three seasons ago (1011). tho inspectors doing what they could that summer almost unaided because of tho popular booster tendency to suppress any Information that might ton I to discourage tho settlement of the country. It was not until tho early summer ot 1912, however, that wc sucreoded in Intorostlnu tho county commissioners. Several meetings wore hold In their office witu Interested growers. Thero were very few In sjmpntlt with tho work at this tlmo. however, nnd wo were constantly hampered. Tho blight worked fast, throurh tho lato fall and early winter. It con tinued to some extent, our investigations showed, throughout tho winter, which was a warm and open one. Tho sticky exudate continued running until spring in rnoro than Isolated cases. If wo could enly have waked up tho peoplo soonor to tho serlousnes of the situation nnd to the necessity for getting at tho very source of tliu Infection, wo might have done more last spring' und saved something of the present seriousness of the situation. All of which shows the wisdom of the blight campaign i now under way in Jackson county and the importance of maintaining rigid supervision, adequate inspection apd enforced eradication. The best public expenditure as far as results go. being made today in Jackson county is that for orchard protec tion. How glad Washington districts would be to bo able to make similar expenditures! How fortunate it is that we '.'waked up" in time! To Cure Blind Staggers in Horses LOGIC OF A KNOCKER ACRRTAJX property sale, savs: owner, in advertising hind for WASHINGTON, 1). l IVb 27 - In past ohr how hiuo died h tho thousands from a disease affect ing tho nervous stout, popularly known as blind stnatorn or forage poisoning. Tltd department of agri culture has received uraoiil loiiueslu for help ngnlnst this disease funu lit vllfferent states, and as a result it Is now publishing a bulletin contain ing definite Instructions fo leontunt lug this disease. luvostlrntora have practically os tabllshed that this horso disease ran bo controlled otoctivel only by n total change ot feed and foraao. It Is quite obvious that thoro Is t dl reel connection between the green forage, exposed ptmuMge and new h cut liu or fodder which tho horses oat, nqdtthls Cerebri) spinal Meningitis, as (lie disease U known to scientists. In fu. eating ot such forago when conlanilliatod Ih uiuloubtedl the most Important cause. Ovur 95 per cent of cases of this disease In Kansas and Nebraska during tho outbreak of 1912 woro maintained under such conditions. .Man.v horses have died from blind staggers caused hv eating mold) baled hay. As soon as tho hay was eliminated tho disease ceased. Unc age poisoning, therefore, seems not to bo an Infection hut rather what . call 'auto-lutoxlcntlon'" that Is. it Is due to certain chemical poisons or toxins formed by tho activity of In ternal organisms. These poisons hiay bo present when tho forage 's taken Into the bod) or may bo formed In the stomach. The nature of this poison Is still unknown. titnmcterj-llc S) iiiptmiw When the horse Is taken with the blind staggers It usually exhibits n disturbance of the appetite, depres sion nnd weakness, while thero trouble In swaltowliiR, droophiK of the heail and sleepiness which may j give way to excitement and attacks ! of dlttlnoM. The vision Is Im paired, w hlch results In the stnattir- lug gall that girt the disease Its , popular name. Certain muscles of i tho neck nnd f'anks are crnmpe-l and thpro Is a grilling o.f the teeth. Sometimes thonjrlinalj has pal a as though It were nffllctod with colic. The animal wlllPalk ifrangly If in an open spnconpil will try to push through any obstacle It encounter. In tho stabio liqvlll press his head against tho stall or rest it on the manger. Sometimes ho will crow, Into n comor. -Tho temperature itt tho beginning of-the disease rangPa from 103 to l'-7 degree l- bin within 21 hours tho totnpernturv , falls and eventually becomes nub .normal. Tho animal Is often dow on tho second or third dn,v and m,vv or ma) not got up when urged. Death usually occiim In ft out four to eight dns, although death miiy follow within ten hours ot tho (list s Diploma, while chronic cases have been Known to last for three weeks. About 90 per cent of the affoctod nut mals die. Treatment I'nxiillxfiu lory While medical treatment 111 the. vast majority of cases has not brought lesults. nevertheless If It in used at all It must bo prompt and bo fmo tho dlnonso has had time to rim. The digestive trait should be cleaned out tliornufhly at once. Active and concentrated remedies should bo given. Afflicted autiunls, however, hnve great difficulty In swallowing Immediately after being taken, to that these remedies, must generally be ivou by Injection. Arecollti In one-half grain doses, subcutaneous))', has given good results as a purga tive Itarly In tho disease urotro plu in dosot of 2t grains dissolved In water nud given by the month every two hours, appears to have been o sponsible for the recovery of soiuo tases of the malady. After the animal has been purged. the treatment varies according to tho H)iuptouiM. Tho following meas ure have been recemmended: Itciitodlcs ItccoiitiiHMiilol The first and most Impertant: I'eoi only clean, well-cured forage aui grntu nud pure water.

SIR LIONEL CARDEN EH ROUTE TO LONDON - in in i VKIIA CllW, Mo.y Feb. 27.- The Jlritiali cruiser Ksex, vvilh Sir Lio-ul CaruVn, EnslKiiiVrt minkler l Me ieo, on hoard, will witch flnlveil ji pUV"OH', "Jackson county Is paying JOOS per acre, (Including iutorost) for grub blng the Pacific highway over tho divide." The object of making this assertion is n malicious de sire to create a false impression and sow dissension in the minds of the people to insinuate that the county is pay ing extravagant prices for road work. The contract for the Siskiyou grade was let to the low est of nine responsible bidders, and any engineer or con tractor will say that the county is getting the work done cheaply. The prices specified in the contract are: Twenty nine cents on earth excavation, J58 cents on loose rock .f.Mil- 7C AAilin y.. r.ilil ,v..l- ."iO s.f.ltif. .w.i. t'illnlm ,wl ..It ' ituiji, i u i i-iu.- mi nwjiii mi i) ju iTiun iili nijiiuii; nm wii; clearing right-of-way, $1.-10 per square rod on grubbing, i M'l.st ..,,. 4-n !, v,i ,1 ,1 !! s,.l , i c, rV .1.1 lllu , ,, llOi..ll J III! tllUll 117 III gllllMJUli I IMI.-ll.-Jl.-5 Ul JIIIIIIM1, HID, llll" nccted, isolated strips along twelve miles of steep hillsides where it is impossible to use the ordinary stump-pulling equipment. The total area to be grubbed is estimated at 1700 square rods, or 10.fi acres, totaling $2HS0, or $22-1 an acre. The clearing costs $80 per acre. To make the total of sGOS per acre as cost of grubbing, the cost of clearing and grubbing has been added together in the ad and then doubled for twenty years' interest charges a ridiculous way to figure cost, for the county has the use of the money secured for the twenty years at less than prevailing interest rates. The absurdity of this line of reasoning is shown by applying it to the property offered for sale. Money is worth 8 per cent in the market. Tf $1000 worth of land was purchased, it would cost tho purchaser $80 a year in interest, and in twentv years he would pay in interest $1(500, which would make the cost of the land $2000. But as the interest would be compounded semi-annually at 8 per cent the total cost would be approximately $2750. Therefore every $1000 worth of property offered in reality costs $2750. Some peoplo can't even boost their own property with out knocking and some seem to think the way to sell is to knock. CHINESE GOVERNOR DEAD POISON IS HINTED AT TIi:.S' THIN, China, Feb.
