FOR WIDER STttTS

Mr. s. w. Mitchell, who was here few weeks ago, and who has invested in lands in this country, writes back to the PRESS from Croftonville, under date of June "A, as follows:
 In my recent trip to Imperial I am glad to say that l was highly pleased with the country, and the future pros- poets of the town as well. The only thing that seemed out of place to me, was the narrowness of the streets. Tn a country where shade is as welcome as it is in Southern California, do not think that streets can be too wide or too shady, particularly in town that is likely to become commercial cen ter, as Imperial certainly must.
 S. W. MITCHELL.
 The Imperial Land Company is in control of the townsites in this coun- try, and Imperial was laid out by its general manager S. w. Ferguson, who has had much experience in start ing new towns in Southern California. We do not know MT. Ferguson plans as regards shade trees for the streets, but we will probably have a plenty. The streets are eighty feet wide, and perhaps hundred might be better.

Now to Prevest Alfalfa Bloat

raised in the Imperial country, the following by o. B. Whitaker, in the Kansas Farmer, will probably be very interesting to our readers. Mir. Whit aker owns the Alfalfa Medow Farm, at Shady Bend, Kansas, and, talking from actual expert ence, what he says on this subject should carry with it much force. He says:
 A great deal of our alfalfa crop goes to waste every year because of our fear to pasture it. A great number of ami mals have been lost from bloat caused by pasturing alfalfa. have 100 acres which pasture every spring and fall, and have never lost an animal from bloat; and am so sure that know how to prevent bloat that turn my entire herd of registered Herefords on without fear. Every year my neigh bors lose animals from alfalfa bloat, and it is from careful observation of these cases and my own experience that base my conclusion. believe tn ? cause of bloat is extreme hunger on the part of the animal, which at sight of food produces an abundant secretion of the digestive fluids of the stomach. This hunger also causes the animal to eat very rapidly. The result is that large amount of alfalfa is quickly brought i'll contact with the already secreted digestive fluid, and the effervescence sets in with the re- suit that unless the gas finds means of escape, death follows. If the mus cles of the throat is lax, the alfalfa and gas will come boiling out at the mouth and the animal is soon past all dan ger. But in most cases the throat, like old Cerberus, while allowing un- limited passage in, denies exit; and in this case wooden bit, four or five inches in diameter, tied in the mouth of the COW, or better, piece of new rubber hose about three feet long fore ed down the throat, will sometimes all row the escape of the gas, and give re- lief. And last the trocar or knife.
 But far better than any of these tall of which fail sometimes) IS pre- vention, which consists simply of driv- ing the stock into the wheat fields or other green pastures and keeping them there for three or four hours until they are filled up, then turn them onto the alfalfa field, never taking them off until you are through pasturing it. or, if compelled to take them off, repeat the process every time you turn them back. Do not even shut them up in the lot at night, or if you must, see that the gate is open every morning before the most industrious COW is at it waiting to be turned out, for if a COW looks through the fence at the de- licious breakfast before her, she is in dangerous condition to partake of it.
 think too it is much better to have wheat or other green pasture in the field with the alfalfa, so that the stock may run back and forth from one to the other.
 As to pasturing alfalfa when it is wet, dewy, or frosty, it has never caused me any trouble, and I always do it.

IDUN's VIEW OF WINTER WHEAT
Condition of the Growing Crop Gener
ally Good.

New York, March 22.-Duns review
tomorrow will say of the winter-wheat
crop:
Reports from large number of
in the winter-wheat
belt show the condition of the grow
ing grain generally favorable. In
Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois
the acreage is reduced owing to par
tial failure last year, and the mild
winter in some sections has been I'M
favorable. Fears are expressed in
some quarters that the ravage of the
Hessian fly will be serious, especially
if the present dry weather continues.
In scattered sections of Illinois, Ken
lucky and Tennessee the grain was
winter-killed, and farmers are blowing
it under
in Illinois the wet weather is now
helping grain, and it is hoped that a
continuation will enable the grain to
outgrow the fly. In Michigan the
acreage is less than last year, but the
grain wintered well. In Missouri the
grain has wintered well and a large
yield is expected. In Kansas, Oklaho-
ma and the Panhandle of Texas
there is a considerable increase in
acreage, and the condition of the grain
was never better. In other parts of
Texas the acreage has been reduced,
the grain wintered well, but ravage by
insects is feared"

H. D. REEVE IN TOWN.
Clerk of the House Military Committee
Sees Trouble Ahead in Cuba.


lFrom Fridays Daily.l
Hon. H. d. Reeve, clerk of the mill
tary committee of the house of repre-
sentatives, was in the city last even
ing the guest of w. M. Reece. Mr..
Reeve was enroute to his home in Des
MONIES after a trip to Porto Rico. He
says the island is a botanical garden
and is the lazy mans paradise, because
life can be sustained easily by eating
the fruit which grows on the trees
with little or no cultivation He be-
lieves the prospect for the develop
ment of the agricultural and CONNER
cial resources is good and that few
years will see a marvellous change in
the island. Mr.. Reeve stopped at San
tiago, Cuba, and states that
he does not see how
trouble Is to be avoided in the is
land within the next year. The bust
ness and conservative elements of
Cuba are exceedingly anxious that the
United States remain in control of the
island. They have no confidence in
the proposed Cuban government. AS a
result of these conditions the develop.
ment of Cuba is proceeding very slow
ly. Capital will not seek investment
there as long as uncertainty prevails
as to future conditions.

An IOWA KIDNAPPING CASE FIGURES
Waterloo Has Sensation in a Comics
sion Made by Man Under Arrest
Charged With Robbins His Mother
--Other State News.

Waterloo, March 2S.-Reuben Good,
prisoner at the county Jail, has con-
fessed to County Attorney Reed that
his mother, Mrs. David Lucas, in the
early nineties accidentally killed an IL
legitimate child of her daughter, and
becoming afraid that she would be ac-
cused of numbering, it. cut the body
into strips and burned it in the kitchen
stove. This was in the absence of the
child's mother, and desiring to cover
up all trace of the matter, kidnapped,
according to the sons confession, Ray
Elliott, a Marengo lad four years of
age, and substituted it for the dead
child, the daughter upon her return,
which was few years after the oc-
currence, accepting the child as hers.
The lad was subsequently returned to
its parents upon the payment of $500
ransom.
Mrs. Lucas says the story is a fabri-
cation woven in the brain of her son
in revenge for being prosecuted for
robbery by her. The son says it is the
truth.

other insurgent officers fought a few
minutes and then fed, making their
escape.
When the firing began, Funston as
sumed command and directed the at
tack on the house, personally assist

insurgent bodyguard fed, leaving
twenty rifles. Santiago Barcelona, the
1nsurgent treasurer, surrendered with

might be sent to Guam and was quite
glad to come to Manila. Palanan was
guarded by numerous outposts and
signal stations. During the fight none

The expedition rested on March "a

and gave no trouble. Funston says
that Aguinaldo is above the average

AS a result of the inspection of
Company 'E" Fiftieth regiment, l. N.

tains a percentage of 81. This is the
best showing that company ever made

doubt that the Fiftieth regiment is in
better condition today than ever be-
fore, and is in condition to take the
field at moments notice. But two
companies of the regiment yet remain
to be Inspected Grinnell and Newton,
and while these companies are not
expected to make as good a showing
as some of the older, ones, all reports
tend to the belief that each is in good
condition and will eclipse all former
records. II these two companies
pass the inspection expected, the regi-
ment should have an average of some
where around SO or 80 per cent.
