A BIG GAIN FOR NEW MEXICO.
II took up with Secretary of
! the Interior Garfield the recon-
mendation made in my annual
report to permit the territory to
select lieu lands from any gov
ernment land within the terri
. tory and a bill to that effect will
= be introduced by Delegate An
drews and will have the support
of the department of the inter
ior. The passage of this meas
ure will give New Mexico 500,-
900 additional acres for its pub
lie schools. If this land is wise
ly selected in the more desirable
/ localities it will be worth S.
600, 900 to the future state with
in five years.
TERRITORIAL. INSTITUTIONS.
Other matters relating to the
I territorial institutions were dis
cusSed and arranged satisfactor-
lily with Secretary of the Inter-
ior Garfield.
TERRITORIAL LAND LITIGATION.
The question involved in the
suits brought to recover title to
certain territorial lands by spec
ial representatives of the Depart
nent of Justice from Washing
ton will be considered in confer
ence between the legal represen-
tatives of the Federal govern
ment and the Attorney General
of the Territory. Even in case
the courts should decide that the
lands were illegally disposed of,
the Secretary of the Interior
will see to it that be restored to
the territory. Mr.. Garfield takes
great interest in New Mexico
and will do anything he possibly
can to assist us.

Attorney and Is Made Assistant
Attorney General.

Major w. II. II. Llewellyn,
who in the language of the anti
republican press of the territory
was removed from Office" has
resigned the position of United
States attorney to accept the
much more desirable position of
assistant United States attorney
general. The facts of the case
are set forth in the following
special dispatch of Yesterday to the
Santa Fe New Mexican: THE
commission of Major w. II. H.
Llewellyn of Las Cruces, New
Mexico, who recently resigned
from the Office of United States
attorney for the district of New
Mexico, and who was appointed
assistant attorney general upon
his resignation as United States

mailed yesterday from the De-
partment of Justice to Major

Monday. The new assistant at
torney general will be in charge
of special and important work

ney general at Washington"

Hon. II. a. Wolford, district
attorney, arrived in the city this
morning to be in attendance at
the opening of the regular term
of the district court Monday
morning. Mr.. Wolford says that
the number of cases on the dock
ct has been reduced in the last
eighteen months from over a
hundred to two, and that there
fore it was not worth while tc
summon a petit jury for this
term of court. The grand jury
will, however, do its work and
there will doubtless be a good
term of court next spring.

VALUE OF TESTED SEED.

The difference In yield between an
average Of two and Of three stalks In
each hill through a field. however large
or small. is approximately the differ
ence between fifty and seventy-flve
bushels per acre, or 80 per cent of the
smaller yield. Yet In spite Of an OBJ
ject lesson So plain there are tens of
thousands Of farmers all through the
corn belt who are this year compliment
ly husking an average of thirty-five or
forty bushels per acre who might Just
as well be getting double or nearly
double the yield II they would exercise
care In the one point of a proper Sc
lection and testing Of their seed corn
There Is no more work involved In
preparing the ground for and In plant,
Ing good seed than In planting that
which is poor, nor In filling a good
rather than poor stand of corn; hence
the quality Of seed used is responsible
to greater degree than any other factor
for the mIserably low average yield Of
corn reported by crop statisticians for
the country as a whole.
