the experiment made by turning over
three crops of clover in a given field in
comparison with another field of tbe

experiment showed an increased ouan-

pnosphoric acid to a considerable de-

condition of the soil, and for an bour

this point.
. Ahere was a very interesting paper

Mr. IL. E. Anthony, of Smyrna. He
took up the subject of spraying with
bordeax Mixture and told of the meth

incidents where he had to deal with
the rose bugs, flea beetles. and
other insects and recommended a plan

ABOVE paper, another interesting topic
small Fruits" was taken up for con-
'lderation. The paper was written and
prepared by j. B. Gilchrist, of Milford.
Ine OF the great reasons why small
rults are not so profitableis is caused by
he overcrowed markets. A remedy

reduction, fertilize well, and to re-

TALKED TOO FREELY
That Is Why Felipe Agoncillo Is
Persona Non Grata.
Agent of the Filipino Republic at
Washington Is Shrewd Man.
But Unused to the Methods
of Diplomacy.

Felipe Agoncillo, the special agent OF
Gen. Aguinaldo, is shrewd, cultivated
man. who is all the more adroit and
dangerous because he has had the ad-
vantage of the drill and veneer OF the
schools. 1t must not be forgotten that
this Malay emissary, although pol
ished and well-educated parsonage, is
the representative of race that until
recently belonged, and even yet be-
longs, to that branch of humanity
that Europeans consider uncivilized.
Smooth of exterior, yet prick his skin
and the Filipino is still savage.
Spanish dominion in the Philippines
has never been able to 'civilize" the
native Filipinos. Agoncillo. while pre-
senting all the outward seeming of
gentleman, cannot really be blamed It
he inherits the instincts of the Malay
race with which he is one in blood. He
is lawyer of Manila and is a most
trusted friend of Aguinaldo, the rebel
leader. For a long time he has been
the repository of that leaders, hopes,
ambitions and fears. 1t is said that
Agoncillo was sharer in the $780, 600
paid to Aguinaldo by the Spanish gov
eminent in consideration of the lat
ter's abandonment of the rebellion. Il
Agoncillo, physically, bears all the.
marks of his Malay origin. he is OF
small but compact frame and has the
appearance of being able to stand
much fatigue, either mental or phys
ical, in case his reserve of vitality
should be called upon. He is suave in
manner. as are all orientals, and under
! seeming quietude there dwells firm,
quick and most impulsive nature that
is, to civilized man, a complete sur
prise when it shows itself. In one word,
Agoncillo is calculated to offer to the
| untraveled and unsuspicious American
one of those surprising transforma-
ton scenes that are known in the
United States only in theaters.
For an American in New York or
Chicago, for example, Aguinaldo's
agent. or spy, as he now appears to be,
would seem plain. honest, unequiyo-
i cal man, with the best interests of
his country at heart, DESTROYS of be-
, ing friend of the new and big power
that has come into the Philippines. The
American could hardly believe that he
could mediate stroke against such q
powerful government as that of the

How to Measure Progress.

writes the bishop of London in the
Cornhill. that any political reputation
which survives for hundred years sur
wives because it is peg on which his
torians hang their theories. This does
not detract from mans real great
ness, for what higher position could
he hope to fill than that of serving as
milestone in the great track of the
worlds progress? If that position be
secured, the direction of the way and
the points between which he marks
the distance may be left for perpet-
nal readjustmcnt. We may measure
progress by different standards in ma
terial attainments, but civilization in
Its noblest form depends upon moral
advance. and we look to time when
this will be more and more recognized.

United States. But that is where pre-
cisely Aguinaldo's ignorance becomes
apparent. Lawyer and college man as
he is, he suffers under the delusion that
the rebel Filipinos can whip America.
There he discloses the shrewdness of
the fox without the natural instinct of
that animal that warns him against
danger or against tremendously more
powerful enemy.
When Agoncillo came to Washington
he was treated with all the kindness
and consideration he deserved, and
probably more. 1t is said that he pre-
tends to be ignorant of the English
language, but that in reality he UNDER
stands the tongue perfectly we'll. He
has been interviewed several times with
the aid of an interpreter, and, if it be
true that he understands English, it is
probable that he will hear many things
that will not be grateful to his ears.
One characteristic shown by Agon-
clio since his arrival in this country is
peculiarly savage. He has evinced q
childish love for gay clothes and high
ly colored neckties, which, while anus
ing to many who will not regard the
Filipino rebels with the same serious
ness given them by the spaniards, has
been proof positive to the thoughtful
persons that he was not to be taken in
good faith. Whatever may be the OUT
come OF the present snarl in which
Agoncillo finds himself, it is certain
that few will longer feel disposed to
humor him as they would child. Saw
age or civilized, Agoncillo must stand
or fall with his deserts.

Fruit PROSPECTS.

The question of the fruit crop is an
important one to Ell Pasoaus during
the summer months.
For the past two or three years the
output has been very small and of the
fruit used in this city great per cent
h.s been obtained from California,
Arizona and other western points.
Thanks to the early spring and the
heavy rains Of q few months past, the
Indications are that Ell Paso will enjoy
this summer very fair season of val
ley produce.
An employee of Hubbard & Co. one
OF the largest shippers of valley fruit
said: 'If reports be true Ell Psso may
be assured splendid crop of peaches,
pears and apricots this summer. The
grape season Is hardly for enough ad-
vanced to make any definite assertion
as to the output. I can con idently
say however, that it will be very much
greater than last year,
The San Antonio street green gro
GERS are also confident that the drouth
of the last two years will not be again
repeated. They are preparing to do
large retail ard Wholesale business and
anticipate q great demand.

their vineyards into alfalfa, but notwith-

On the Ell PasO market.
The small farms on the other side
are beginning to yield fruit early and
the Mexicans are all ready peddling

luce and feel confident that he is hav-
ing the best that the market affords.
