Visitor in Roswell Thinks This a
Great Place for a Tubercular
Institution.

DR.. r.. III. Mead, of Great Bend, Kan

visit with his wife, who is here for
health, stated to a Record Representa-
tive this, morning that he thought
Roswell was one of the best places
in the world for a tubercular sanitar-
ium, and that he would build such an
institution here If the city or some
public organization would donate. the
ground as a location in a desirable
place. DR.. Mead will be here at least
several days.

AS soon as the rows are visible,
the ground should be rolled with a
light roller so as to pack the soil
tightly around the side roots of the
young plants and thus facilitate the
access of moisture thereto. which will
materially help in forming a strong
root. The rolling should be immed-
lately followed by a horse %cultivator,
which will roughen the surface of the
ground and prevent its drifting in
heavy wind. Then follows the work
of c%ultivating as described above.

Deep blowing is the first principle
Of beet culture, because the plant is
soil without much obstruction, thus
preventing il from growing above the
ground. and allowing 1t to extract con
siderable nourishment from the lower
soil.
II is a good practice 10 harrow the
land very deep and crosswise several
times before spring blowing, SO as
to turn under a fine loose soil instead
then settle more uniformly and irri-
gate more evenly than when full of
holes and air spaces near the plow
furrow. Spring plowed land may be
narrowed. or better, leveled. the
same day that it is plowed. and the
ground should then be left untouched
until the time OF ~irrigating prior to
the preparation OF the seed bed.
Leveling.
In order to irrigate the ground sue
cessfully 1t is absolutely necessary
to have 1t as level as possible, and
In order TO produce his condition the
surface of the soil must be fine. which
can be done by narrowing and float
ing the land repeatedly, crosswise
and lengthwise. As soon as the sur
face Is fine enough so that 1t can be
easily moved. a leveler should be us
ed which will drag the soil from the
high places and drop 1t In the low
er ones.
Leave as few dead burrows as pos
sible in the field after blowing is fin
ished. as they interfere very much
with the cultivation and irrigation
of the land. Flowing around, which
starting at the edge Of the
field and blowing in circles toward
it's center should also be avoided, as
IL is not favorable for irrigation, since |
the land lies In two different .direc- |

rule NOT 10 prepare more ground

Experience has shown us that even
the best black bottom Ian will blow,
(ff level and fine. which it must be
to secure a good crop); therefore. to
prevent blowing, which is disastrous
to small beet plants, IL In advisable
20 run q light harrow ove the field
after rolling but before seeding. This
harrow must be very light and can
be easily and cheaply constructed
Of not on HANDY by using 2x2f pine
pieces for the beams and large nails
for the teeth, letting the latter pro
ject below the beams one and one
half to two inches. This harrow
must simply scratch the soil (not
over half an inch deep). giving it a
rough surface, which will prevent
blowing.
The narrowing with the light har-
row must be in the opposite direction
Of the drill rows.
1t is of the utmost importance hat
the soil in which the seed is to be
imbedded, is as fine and garden-like
as 1t can be made, and no work should
be spared to achieve this condition
prior to seeding. If o prepare the
seed bed properly. you will secure a
good stand and save much labor In

Seeding.
To secure a heavy yield, a good
stand is absolutely necessary. The
time of planting depends largely up
on the season. 1t being generally
from about the first week in April
to the 25th of May. Not less than
twenty pounds of seed per acre should
be used in order to secure a full
stand; because in dry weather the
best seed will come up first and there
viii be enough for a good stand. On
the other hand, if a crust is formed
after a heavy rain. one plant will
help the other to break through the
ground. Therefore sow at least 20
pounds to the acre.
If the SEED is planted too deep, es-
peeialiy in heavy soil, n plants will
be very weak II they come up at all.
Therefore avoid deep planting.
Make your rows as straight as pos
sible, for it will be of great advan-
tage in c~ultivating and irrigauing the
crop. 1t is advisable to plant the
field in sections a. intervals of eight
or ter days. so that the work of thin

for help. However, do not plant

AUTO FIGHT IS
DECLARED OFF
CLUB SCORES POINT OVER
SECRETARY OF STATE
FLEMING BACK FROM NORTH
SAYS That He Is Much Pleased With
Outcome of the Controversy.
Discusses City Speed
Ordinance

The promised war between Secretary
of state Charles f. Curry and the
Automobile club of Southern Califor-
MIA has come to sudden ending.
Yesterday Secretary A. p. Fleming
of the automobile club returned from
Sacramento, where he was in CONSUL
tation with Mr.. Curry, relative to the
new state law regulating the speed of
automobiles.
"Its all right now," said Mr.. Flem-
ing. eve have placed the case
souarely before Mr.. Curry and he has
decided that the stand we took was "a
correct one. Owners of motor vehicles
may now secure the required certificate
and number from the state for 81 each.'
The particular grievance of the auto
mobilists had grown out of Secretary OF
state Currys misinterpretation of the
new state law. He Informed them
that an owner would have to secure a
chaffeur's privilege. as we'll as GER
tificate of ownership. before he could
operate his machine. This, of course,
would have cost every auto owner in
the state 81, instead of 81, as provided
in the statute.
1--WE feel pretty good over the treat
ment we received at the hands of Mr.
Curry" continued Mr.. Fleming, land
there isn't one of us who will not obey
the new law"
Mr.. Fleming says the automobile
club is well pleased with the new. speed
ordinance passed by the Los Angeles
city council.
"The auto said Mr. Fleming, has
got to get down to the same practical
basis of the horse and buggy. If 1
have a horse that can go a mile in
two minutes and thirty seconds that
is no reason why I should exhibit him
on the crowded streets of a large city,
thereby endangering lives and prop
erty."
"Where is all the opposition to the
ordinance coming from?" Mr. Fleming
was asked.
"The repair shops" he answered.
"They know full we'll that if the speed
of the auto is limited there will not
be so many accidents, and consequently
there will be less repair work for
them"

SCHULTZ MUST FACE
CHARGE OF BURGLARY
Novel Way Of Securing Clothes Al-
legged to Have Been Used
hY the Prisoner

Louis Schultz, "a years old and
known to the police as the gentle
man burglar" was held to the superior
courts after examination in Justice
Chambers court yesterday afternoon
and his bail fixed at $4,000.
During the entire ordeal of the testi-
mony in the three charges against him,
Schultz regarded the proceedings with
look of calm indifference and showed
not the slightest emotion when the
decision Of the court was read.
Officers Walsh and Mcnamara ap-
peared as prosecuting witnesses in the
three charges, and the quantities OF
Jewels and gold trinkets alleged to
have been stolen by the young man
were produced as evidence against
him.
In one Of the charges, Schultz is al
legged to have stolen a suit of clothes
fashion. The young man went to the
tailoring establishment and carefully
selected a design of spring cloth. He
asked the price and upon being told
that it would be SAL he ordered the suit
made and returned the next day and
tried It on so as to have a perfect fit He
then told the tailor he would call for
the suit in the evening. 1t is alleged
that Schultz did not call until the
tailor had left for his home and then
the youth is said to have "jimmed' his
way into the tailoring establishment
and departed with the new suit after
having packed it in a box
Nearly all the jewels and rings found
in the safe deposit box belonging to
Schultz, have been identified by their
owners and will be used as evidence in
the higher courts.

TRIAL
TESTIMONY is CONFLICTING
Servant at Riverside Country Club Is
Arrested by United States Mar
shal-Denles His Former
Statement

The testimony given yesterday by
Low Sam, a typical Chinese house SER
want, in connection with the trial of
Tom Hays, was decidedly conflicting in
its nature and several minutes after
the celestial left the witness stand he
was arrested by the United States
marshal on the charge of perjury.
The Chinese was employed al a stew
ard at the Riverside Country club at
the time of Hays arrest, and he was
called as witness In order to prove
that Hays. instead of having surren-
dered voluntarily, had done his best to
escape.
The witness told the court that he
was not present when Sheriff Coburn
called to arrest Hays, although he told
United States Attorney Valentine last
February that Hays left by the rear
door when the sheriff called to make
the arrest.
1t developed from the testimony that
Sam had loaned Hays $500 while the
loilueI WAS III CUSTODY at RlNerSlde, Dut
1t appears that the debt was liquidated
about two months later.
The prosecution made a strong point
in the form of the testimony by Judge
Noyes of Riverside who declared that
Hays, when charged with wrongdong
after his arrest, admitted he was short
in his accounts by remarking to G.
Rouse, then president of the bank, rs
it as much as that" This remark, it
is alleged, was made in reply to a !
statement that the cash failed to bal

At the session of the police commits
sion yesterday Herbert Burdett, sec
retary Of the Los Angeles realty board,
complained that the ordinance relative
to keeping the vacant lots in the city

Chief of Police Hammel said that one
officers have done everything in their
power to comply with the ordinance,
but that objections have been raised

trouble for the officers.
Commissioner Mason wanted to know
what the realty board had done toward

Negro Murderer Hanged.

William Buckner. negro, was hanged at Hamburg last week for the murder of Joseph Burton, Cuban. The negro was very cool and com posed, showing not the slightest ner- vousness or excitement He went to the scaffold announcing his belief that he was going to heaven. Buckner had a fair trial and was given every op- portunity afforded by the law to es- tablish his innocence, if that were pos sible. He admitted his guilt, however, and after his conviction and sentence to hang no further efforts were made in his behalf The murder of Burton, who was a Cuban. was a brutal affair It occurred midway between Portland and Montrose. He had been working near Portland and when paid off had started afoot to Montrose He was found later in a slough with his throat cut and his skull crushed. The mo tive for the deed was robbery and the perpetrators secured about S30 and watch. Buekner was arrested and after some time confessed, and i'm plicated two other negroes in the crime
