What Hartman
Says About the
West Coast Of Mexico

When Edward H. Hartman, probably the
greatest railroad man America has ever pro-
duced was in Los Angeles recently, he was
interviewed by newspaper men on variety
of topics. While he discussed with his usual
directness and keen insight many matters of
interest to the American people, his most
significant remarks related to Mexico, and
particularly to the West Coast
"Great liberality is the policy OF the Mexi-
can Government toward American capital
In fact, their entire trend is to be fair and
prompt.
1.-THE deltas of these rivers have formed the
richest kind Of land, similar to that formed
by the Colorado. River in the Imperial Valley
All the land needs is water, water and de-
velopment. Some of these lands are fully
equal to the Colorado delta and are only
waiting for irrigation and cultivation. If
any of you want to get out of this part Of the
country, there is the place for you to go.
Such soil will grow anything
"There is the place for you to go,'' says
Hartman. Take his advice.
"That soil will grow anything" Mr.. Har-
rirnan knows, for he has been there and he
had had reports on that entire region, in
Guiding The Great Yaqui Valley, from the
ablest soil experts and colonizers in America

when hay is put into the barn and for
a week thereafter determine to q
large degree the percentage of water
remaining in the dry hay. In the west
the percentage of moisture in timothy
hay is less than in the east. Prof.
Atwater found that on the average
timothy hay in New England retains
an average of 12 per cent. of water:
clover had had IA per cent. In Colo
RADIO. California and Utah the per-
centage of water might be expected
to fall considerably below this figure.
The percentage of shrinkage will. Of
course. vary with the percentage of
water in the hay when cured and put
in the barn. The Michigan Expert

periments along the line Of shrinkage
of hay than any other station. the re-
suits of which have been as follows:
On June q. 1896, five tons Of very dry
timothy hay were drawn from the
field and. after weighing, were placed
in a separate NOW. Just after harvest

pounds of timothy hay in fairly good
condition was hauled to the barn and

lowing. 1t had lost 77s pounds. or
1873 per cent. The early cut hay loses.

A Famous All Potato Banquet.

One OF the most remarkable menus
ever drawn up must have been that OF
the feast IN Paris TO which Benjamin
Franklin. Lavoisier, the founder OF
modern chemistry, and other distin
guished men sat down as guests OF
Parmentier. Every dish at this ban.
quet was made OF potatoes, and even
the brandy and liqueurs were the prod
uct OF the same vegetable. This was
Parmentier's final proof 10 his skep
teal fellow countrymen that potatoes
were not poison. as they persisted In
believing. Louis XVI. himself was one
OF Parmentler's earliest converts.
granted him land on which to grow his
plants and did not dlsdain to wear the
potato flower as buttonhole. Then
Parmentier cleverly posted guards
round his potato fields by day and
withdrew them by night. so that peo-
pie were tempted to come then, steal,
eat and be convinced. The all potato
banquet was the climax OF the great
campaign.-Chicago News.
