RECEIVERsHIPS AND FORECLOSURES.
The Railway Age" says

Although the first six months of 1904 have wit
messed many failures of manufacturing mercantile
ana financial interests, railway in the United
states has gone into the hands of a receiver as a
result OF the decreased industrial and commercial
activity in that period. Two or three minor COM
panies have passed their dividends but of the
nearly eighteen hundred operating and subsidiary
roads whose securities in the Stands of the
public, only six. representing about three hundred
miles of line, having defaulted in their interest
otherwise confessed insolvency thus far in 1904 1t
may be here noted as encouraging fact that only
twenty railways, with less than thousand miles
of line out OF the 10000 miles in the United States
are at the present time in the hands OF receivers.
In the case Of each Of the six small roads for
which receivers were appointed during the last six
months, bankruptcy appears to have been the re-
suit OF inherent difficulties not caused by the
ton Of boom times and which would have
been cured ir the times had continued to boom
The foreclosure sales of steam railways during the
six months have also been few, and represent con-
ditions which originated years ago.

lplants are then thrown into stacks some fifty feet high oy 100 feet at the base, to dry for threshing.
 THREsHING.
 As soon as the garvanzo is stacked, it is ready for threshing. At the present time, the cheapest and most common way of separat- ing the bean from the plant is by treading it out with horses and mules. A fence is butt about the stack of plants at a distance of about three meters from it's base, so as to allow plenty of room for the animals to run over the stack while man is left to keep the plants stirred up that all may be trampled upon. It has been esti- mated that each animal will tread out some 2,000 kilograms of beans per day, there being one man for every five animals to keep the pile stirred and to remove the straw.
 GRADING THE GARVANzo.
 When cleaned, the garvanzo is graded according to size by means of sieyes of consecutive sizes and put into sacks for the market.

In all new regions opened to the pioneer settler, the question occurs, what particular crop will these new fields produce that will insure us newcomers an immediate re- turn from the plow-furrows we have just turned up to the sun?" Tn the Northwest of the United
 States, there is only one answer; i. c., Spring Wheat" In the cen tral areas, corn; in Colorado pota- toes; in the Southwest, including California, alfalfa. On the Pacific slope of Mexico, and more es- pecially iE the miniature Nile

red to, who IS a thorough going practical farmer, your cor respondent is indebted for the fol- lowing responsible details regard ing garvanzo culture.
 SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF GAR
 vANZo GROUND.
 Great care should be exercised in the selection of the ground, as the crop returns are mainly de- pendent upon that. Clayey soil is to be preferred, however, lands which have been bottoms of lagoons or swamps, when not too deep but rather extensive, are most suitable, even if such kind of soil be rather hard to break. The land must be irrigated freely. Experience shows that irrigation, to depth of from 20 to p centineters over ground, is preferable, as. with such depth of water, the plant should not re. quire another irrigation to grow and mature a crop, Immediately after the soil is irrigated and weeded, deep blowing should be given, then the soil dragged to rid it of the weeds that may remain, and
The oasis., 1904-04-16

apart. The furrows should be made one meter apart, and, and after the planting is completed the ground dragged to level out the furrows and delay the evapora- tion.
 CULTIVATION.
 In from six to eight days after planting, the garvanzo seed will sprout, and from fifteen to twenty days later, the first wedding or cul- tivation should be given, for which purpose a small five-point cultiva- tor is used requiring one horse and a man. This is one of the most essential operations, as it kills the weeds on the ridge on each side of the plant and stirs up the soil facilitating the absorption of nutriment and moisture necessary to its development. One man with a cultivator does the work of ten working under the old system of weeding with a hoe. Should the garvanzo field become weedy the ground should be run over with the cultivator repeatedly until free from all such growth.
The oasis., 1904-04-16

Only two grades, or sizes, are suit able for export; the first grade should be of such size that fifty four beans shall weigh thirty grams, the second that sixty-five beans shall weigh thirty grams.
 If the planted seed weigh at rate of forty. eight or fifty beans for each thirty grams, the crop will yield an average of S5 per cent first class garvanzo, 10 per cent to the second class. with a remaining , per cent which is not marketable, but is utilized for feeding stock, such as horses, cattle, and hogs, and it is found superior to corn or barley, while the straw makes ex- cellent forage.

PRUNING.

Within two months after being planted ,-garvanzo grows very ex- huberantly on rich soil, spreading it's branches out all over the ground and tangling one with an- other,-it will be found advisable to prune the plants so that the new shoots may grow upward, giving the plant better appearance as well as increasing it's production.
 HARVESTING.
 From four to five months later, the garvanzo has developed, grad ually taking on yellowish tint as it ripens and becomes ready for harvesting. The cutting of the crop is done by hand with sickles The plants are cut off some five or six inches above the ground; the

This machine would do away W it h h C treading-out pr O. cess, which is not only tedious, but hard on the animals as we'll. It would at the same time abolish the old time method of separat- ing the chaff by h a n d depending upon the wind to blow it away, like wise, the slow me thod of grading by hand sieves.
 However, n O t withstanding t h C fact that the cul- ture of this crop allu lts prepara- ton for the mar ket are cared on in so primitive a manner, the profits are very satisfac- tory. Let us back our assertion by figures, basing estimates on the produce of q hectare of land.
