DOMIECUEZWANTS BIC TRUST
Mexican Planter Says Harvester Com
bine Would Boom His Country.
VISITS DEERE AND COMPANY
Returna TO Omaha Enth usiastIc over
Prospect OF Big Implement House
Locating a Branch In
Mexico.

Ia and as the guest of the John Deere
Plow company at Moline. ILL.,, ZepheTino
Dominguez. the Mexican planter. who con-
tributed much to the interest OF the Ma
tional Corn exposition, returned to Omaha
Sunday. and goes from here to Lincoln
to visit with Governor Sheldon and the Ne
braska school OF agriculture.
AS a result of his visit TO Moline Senior
Domlnguez believes the John Deere people
will open a large implement house in
Mexico. whore the German manufacturer
control the implement business, and with
tools which he believes to be much in
ferior to those made in the United States
charge prices which make it almost i'm
possible for the ordinary Mexican farmer
70 buy the more modern implements and
as a result they cling to the old Mexican
plow, with which the ground can only be
'tickled."
American Goods Superior.
II want 10 see Americans in business in
Mexico, said Senior Dominguez. II am a
firm believer In the Monroe doctrine OF
America for Americans and would like
to see the so-called Harvester trust get
Mexico by the throat. We reed the Inter
national, Harvester company or some otho
American trust handling American made
goods in my country and however much
people Of the United States may believe
the Harvester trust keeps up prices, It is
certain II would be a boon to Mexico. One
thing about the so-c5lled trust, it does
supply first-class implements and at what
stems to us very reasonable prices.
Another advantage which the trust
would be to Mexico would be in showing
the people of that country how to Use
TIE implements after they sold them. At
present np mt know NJ n faaIar r,Ia
has Il demonstrator or expert machinist
to go out into the fields aid show our
lnoisns how to run a binder or a steam
plow. Even some of the most common
implements are not used in Mexico, be.
cause the Indians do not know how ia
use them ana the implement dealers dc
not show any inclination to show them.
AS a result we ave our old pillow to fall
back onto.
Deere Especially Wanted.
Il do hope the John Deere people will
break the Ice, as Il were, and com tc
Mexico. They would have two million
customers in that country.
When l return / will know something
more about the implements made in tho
United States. l spent two days coins
through the great factory of Deere & Co
have seen with my own eyes how things
are made from the plow shovels to the
harvesting machines. 1t was a Kreat
lesson TO me-"
Another result of the visit of the Mexi
can planter to the United States, besides
what he saw at the National Corn exposi
ton and In Moline, ILL.,, is that he has got
ten into communication with at least thre,
American companies which intend buyIn,
large tracts OF farming and grazing land
IN Mexico. d. w. Faulkner Of Chicago
representing a large opmany saw MI
Doninsusz in Illinois and expects to z
ahead with the plans of the company.
4. AeAim of lrvington, Ind, heads a com
lany which will buy at once 1900 acres O
Mexican land, and before leaving Nebrask.
Mr., Dominguez will see J. T. Potter O
Seward, Neb., who has been correspondent
with the Mexican with the hope of learnin
more OF Mexico and the desirable land,
with a view of buying, with his associate,
a large tract of farming and grazing lane
1t is probable that Senior Dominguez wi
return TO Omaha for a few days after Wis
ting Lincoln, that he might get his CO,
respondence, all sent here. out Of the wa
before returning to his Mexican home. Yes
terday he was the guest of Rome Mile
and went to the Miller country home 1
an and looked over the plao,
OF which Mr.. Miller and other omahans ar
proud.
