PERALTA LAND GRANT.
Lawyer Garcia Asks for Nearly all
 of Arizona and New Mexico.

of Arizona and New Mexico.
 K. A. Garcia, lawyer from Mon- terey, Mex. who also has an office al San Antonio, has been in Santa Fr some days consulting with prominent attorneys respecting the filing in the United States land court of another Peralta-grant claim, beside which the bogus claim of Peralta- -Reavis stands as mere bagatelle. Garcia alleges to have access to the original Spanish archives to substantiate the validity of the Peralta grant for 60,000. 900 acres of land in Arizona, Mexico and south- ern New Mexico. The Peralta- Reavis claim was for only l2.000.0 900 acres, and in prosecuting it some of the principal capitalists of California and New York spent million dollars. only to end in the government proving the claim gigantic fraud and the re- suit of a conspiracy.
 Reavis. an aged and broken man. is now serving two-years sentence in the United States prison at Santa Fe. Garcia says the mistake made by Keavis was in going to the City of Mexico and Madrid and Seville. Spain. in search of the original grant docu- ments. and in perpetrsting bungling forgeries when he failed to find them. That the grant exists Garcia claims to have indisputable evidence. He stltes that in 182l--at the close of the revolt of Mexico against Span, the officers of the latter government undertook to move the official archives to Madrid. but these records only got as far as Havana, Cuba, whence they wele afterward transported to San Lais Potosi, where they are today in per feet order.
 Garcia states that he holds power of attorney from heirs residing at Monte rey, San Luis Potosi, San Jose and Los Angeles, Cal, to the number of 800 and will fife soon in their behalf claim backed by ample documentary evidence. to the original Peralta grant of 50, ,00O. 900 acres.
 In the meantime J. 4. Peralta- Resvis has served out but one-half of his sentence, and with good time al- lowauce will be released from prison next May. In the District Court five indictments for fraud growing out of his connection with the Peralta grant were dismissed on the motion of United States Attorney Reynolds One other indictment against him and Miguel Noe. son of a Californian, is still pending here.

safe for the brief delay in ripening, &c.
cording to a writer in The Farm and
Fireside who says;
Presuming, then, that five foot split
stake has been firmly set at each plant
and the tomato vine has already been
tied to the stake with common Irvine, a
daily lookout must be kept for the suck
ers which put out from the main stalk
and retard the proper development OF
the tomato plant. The sprouts, or auxil
larry suckers, which push out from the
base of the upper side of each of the
side branches must be resolutely pinched
off, or broken off if the pinching has
been delayed too long. If this is done
and the vines have been tied to the
stakes with not less than three strings,
as the growth has been continuous, the
vine when in bearing will appear as
shown III Fig. |.
If, as it sometimes occurs, a second
branch or stem is allowed to grow from
near the ground, the result will be as
shown in Fig. 3. By keeping all super
f1uous growth pinched back this will
grow nearly or quite as large as the
main stalk, simply forming fork.
Both stalks are to be tied to single
stake, unless it is deemed desirable tc
let the side branches spread out upon
the ground, where they will continue tc
grow and ripen fruit after the staked
vines have ceased bearing. These will
continue to bear fruit until after the
first killing frost. On the approach Of
frost it has become customary by many
truckers to pull up the vines and spread
them in we'll sheltered place and cover
them with litter, so as to allow the
ripening process to go on. This late CROP
