FARMERS MEET IN
 SUNNY TENNESSEE
Secretary James Wilson Made Address on Local Conditions.
ADVISES HORSE BREEDING
He Also Warns the Farmers to Quit Raising Wheat and to Plant Glover to Feed Cattle
 and Sheep

Knoxville, Tenn, May 22-The East Ten nessee farmers convention convened in twenty-ffth annual session at the Uni versty of Tennessee this morning with representation limited only to the capacity of Science Hal' in which the session was held. The secretary of agriculture, Hon. James Wilson, was present and an active participant in each of the sessions of today. Tonight he delivered an address on local conditions to a large and enthus- iastic assembly and after the address he was rendered a reception characteristic of the southland in it's cordiality. His ad- dress of tonight contained certain truths and advices well for the southern farmer to consider.
 "I would quit raising wheat. I would not send bushel of grain outside of Tennes- see as you are not getting enough to jus tify your growing it. There are much more inviting fields in other directions It Is very rhre that we get such prices for fine saddle horses as they are willing to pay now The whole world wants horses. The people of the United States can produce horses cheaper than other people and you southern gentlemen can train them better than any one else The world will let you make your own prices and fine horses of that kind that they call Irish horses go from the United States to Ireland and then are sold to the British for any price you ask and I would advise you to turn your energies in that direction of the horse in- dustry rather than to the growing of eight orlten bushels of wheat per acre and which is taking the very life out of your soil.
 -9 Cattle and Sheep Raising
 Another thing that would advise you to turn your attention to is cattle and sheep raising. have never seen as many natural conditions combined together to make a paradise of this industry as here in Tennessee. Up in Iowa when I am at home we have to feed our animals half of the winter, and sometimes more. We have to put up feed enough during the surnmer to feed them during six long months. You have a mild climate, innu- merable springs and woods to shelter them, but now the question comes about, what shall they<eat? That is the problem you have been discussing this afternoon forage for animals, etc. Why do you not grow clover now? It is true, Lawes and Gilbert ascertaned that they can grow wheat on the same piece of ground every year for fifty years with gradually de- creasing yield, but they could not grow clover more than a few years, because the clover polluted the ground. would put fertility back in Tennessee soils so that clover would grow if you want it to grow"
 Dr. A. c. True of Washington, D. C., made one of the leading addresses of the day. A rich programme, with many emi- nent names thereon, has attracted an un- usually large delegation, making this the largest convention in the history of the institution.

MEXICO ALARMED
Over Bubonic Plague Situation in San
 Francisco

Mexico City, May 22-The appearance of bubonic plague in San Francisco excites alarm here, it being feared that the dis ease may find a foot-hold in the Pacific ports of Mexico, where there are many Chinese residents. Dr. Liceagea, president of the superior board of health, says that ever known precaution has been taken to prevent the disease appearing in those ports but that it may reach Vera Cruz or any other port despite those precau- tons.
 Yellow fever is prevalent at Coat Zaza- colieos, where number of Englishmen and Americans have died.
 The Commissioners of the San Antonio CTex) Fair association have arrived and will invite the Mexican officials to take part in the proceedings there.
 Baron Von Heiking, the new German minister to Mexico, and Edmond Nippea, the new minister from France, have ar rived. and will shortly be formally pre- sented to President Diaz. The German minister has represented his country at the court of St. James, and the French minister is a well-known author on edu- cational and other topics. The heavy ex- portation of Mexican cattle is regarded with apprehension, as 1t tends to maintain the present price of beef.
 The port of Mazatlan is prospering, the trade there being exceptionally good. Ma zatlan enjoys direct steamship connection with Europe, and its trade, which em- braces an extensive territory on the Pa cific coast of this republic is largely in the hands of German and English houses. Reports from Yucatan show most pros- porous condition there. The new railway connection between Merida and Campache has largely increased the traffic. The large hemp mill at Merida is doing heavy business, having contracted for all its out put to a Chicago firm.
