FINE CROP
OF GRAIN
POSSIBILITY OF FARMING SANS
IRRIGATION IN THE DESERT
LANDS OF UTAH.
Experiments Being Made at Modena
and About Milford That Are Being
Stand of oats from Seed Scattered

in view of the recent visit OF DI. I.
manifested in the matter OF Try iarm-
ing on the Laramie plain, The fcIlJw-
ing special dispatch to the SAT- Lake
Tribune from Mondena, Utah, viii DC
OF interest at this time:
Some parties were in Modena yester-
day making inquiries in regard to the
possibility OF dry farming in this vicin-
ity with a view of taking up some OF
the unsurveyed government land in the
Escalante desert.
They We're shown some oats about
two miles from here which had grown
on the descrt at camps of the Utah
Construction company which had been
spring while feeding the horses and
which had found lodgment in the ap-
~parently barren soil. The oats were
over three feet in height and heading
out. The numerous wild flowers, such
as wild phlox, wild %geraniums and the
different varieties OF cactus. the thrifty
sage brush, with here and there a
blade of grass, together with the oats,
were sufficient to convince them of he
possibilities of productive dry farming
in this semi-arid region.
In the vicinity of Milford it is report
ed that 10000 acres of state lands
have recently been purchased at $l.25
soil here is better thar there, for it
contains less alkali. At Enterprise,
twenty miles southeast of the state ex-
perimental dry farm, is proving to be
a greater success than anticipated
when the experimental farm was
started.
This season all grains are doing nice
ly, the rye now being ripe and the lu-
cerne having already been cut. 1t is
believed that dry farming could be sue
cessfully conducted on thousands of
acres in this vicinity and with a little
irrigation from water obtained from
artesian wells there is apparently no
reason why the desert waste could not
be converted into well-tilled, produc-
tive fields.
In some of the gardens at Modena
peas and potatoes are now in bloom,
which we're planted about the middle
of April and other garden truck is do.

APPEAL IN LORD SUIT
TAKEN TWO WEEKS AGO.
Nesc Trusteeship Expected to Re
suit IN Dropnng of 1t.

Apropos of the statements of lawyers repre-
senting certain Equitable minority stockholders
and policyholders that the trust deed was ap-
rarently defective. it said yesterday that
the question of qualifying policyhoiders selected
by the trustees to serve as directors mao peeh
fully discussed by Mr.. Root and Mr.. Cravatn
with Mr.. Cleveland and the other trustees, ana
that il was agreed that there would be no diffl-
Guilty in qualifying such policyholders in con-
formity with the law and the societys chartef-

holders The argument on the motion lor ap-

ests was made two weeks ago. when the tangie
was at its worst and before the sale to MT
RYAN and the present trust deed had been con-
sidered This may explain the expected ad-
journment on Tuesday.
The overruling by the Appellate Division OF
Justice Maddox's decision would have a ma
teriaI effect, it is said, the situation created
by the trust deed empowering the three trus-
tees to vote the controlling interest Of the stock
bought by Mr.. Ryan from Mr. Hyde.
Mr. Lords application. it will be recalled, was
for an injunction restraining part naturalization
as planned by the directors wherein the board
contemplated giving the policybolders the right
to elect wenty-eight of the ifty-two directors.
and permitting the stockholders to elect only
twenty-four. According to Mr.. Hydes ad-
herents Justice Maddoxs decision would make
impossible any action by directors or stock
holders without the consent of every stockholder,
or any action by the legislature which would
affect the right of stock control.
Immediately after the decision it was an
nounced that the tangle could be unsnarled, re-
gardless of the decision, by Mr.. Hyde trusteeing
his stock. In intervening in the suit Messrs.
Hyde and Mcintyre expressed their willingness
to adopt the former trusteeship plan
Contrary to his custom. Superintendent Hen
dricks did not go to his home in Syracuse yes

submitted to Governor Higgins either tomorrow

GERM4N POLICY.
Defined by Ambassador CON Stern
burg as Not AggresssUe.

Washington. June 17.-Repying to an inquiry
regarding Germany's Moroccan policy. Baron
speck Won Sternburg the German Ambassador,
to-day said:
The report that the Emperor's policy in Mo-
rocco is aggressive is entirely erroneous. Ger
many asks that her treaty rights there and
Madrid convention shall be respected and pro-
tected without discrimination and in strict ac-
cordance with Article II of the Madrid conven-
ton. This article reads:
The right to the treatment of the most
favored nation is recognized by Morocco be-
longing to all the powers represented at the
Madrid conference
Here is a specific guarantee of the most gen.
eral protection to each of the sgnatory powers
pledging to each the rights and privileges
whether with regard to life, property
merce. 1t is interesting to note TOO, that in the
official compilation of treaties prepared the
State Department this treaty is ciassed under
the head Of General Treaties :,
Germany's part in the complications over
Morocco arises not from any attempt to seize
territory, nor from any effort to obtain privi-
leges of any sort except such enjoyed by
all of the signatorieS TO the Madrid convention,
hut from her absolute refusal to recognize or
participate in any arrangement involving the
establishment of a sphere of influence in Mo-
rocco. Germany stands for the open door in
Morocco as in China; for the maintenance of
the status quo in both countries. ....
In the present negotiations Germany's trade
is a matter of secondary consideration. Over
riding treaties established by law was bound to
which might sooner or later have been followed
by similar condition of affairs in the Far East.
If left alone Germany and France will have
no trouble in arranging all existing difficulties.

GERNANY Is CONFIDENT.
Her Positive altitude Result of
Russia's Defeat.

Berlin, June 17.--The Foreign Office has tele-
graphed to Prince Radolin. the German
Ambassador at Paris, in the last day or two in
sense that will be reassurng to French ap-
prehensions If such were felt in the French
Cabinet. Germany still presses France diplo-
matically for her acceptance of the proposal to
hold conference of the powers on the subject
of Morocco.
The undoubted disturbance of feeling In Paris
over Germany's policy is not traceabl to any
thing actually aggressive that the German gov
ernment has done or is preparing to do 1t is
probably due to the feeling of weakness that
has suddenly arisen in France since Admiral
Rojestvepsky lost the fight and the corre-
spending relative increase in German confidence
since it has become evident that Russia need
not for the present be reckoned with. The
thought in the government in the army and in
the press is that Germany in a military sense
has now become master Of the Continent, and
that being SO, France and every other Cont
mental power should recognize that In diplomacy
also Germany has risen to the first place and
must be dealt with as the paramount power
So fully do the German Ministers feel the
strength of Germanys military and political
position that the cautious, circumspect policy
of recent years has been replaced by more
definite, positive tone toward Russia, toward
France and toward Great Britain also. The
spirit of confidence in the army runs imneas-
urably high. The young, officers long for war
That is the constant talk in the regimental
casinos. The foreign attaches here have rec
ognized the change in the bearing of the Ger
man officer since Russia has been inextricably
involved in the Far East, in that his conviction
in the perfection of the German military ma
chine is expressed with deep and quiet as
surance. The sentiments of the military body
are not likely to, influence the Emperor and
Prince Won Bulow,. but they are extremely in
teresting, and to these confident opinions ex
pressed perhaps somewhat boastfuIlY are prob
ably due the rumorS of German military designs
foreign officer said TO the correspondent OF
The Associated Press to-day that although it is
favorite utterance of the German officer that
Germany is always ready for war and that moth
ing could be done to-day that is not already
done, except actual mobilization and the move
ments of troops yet the rifle has not been
issued to all the army while the entire reserves
of rifles are of the old model of 1888 so that if
Germany were al war to-day she would be 1,sing
antiquated weapon. This foreign officer als3
said that the German field pieces fired seven
shots minute to the French twentv-one a..
Twenty-Five but that the rearmament of the
artillery was going forward fast
The correspondent inquired WHY then
should the German officers be so confident" p"
Because" he replied, they are. aware of
what they regard more important defects i'm
the French and other Continental armies"
