Mexican agriculture, is now ready to guide immigrants from the Un ted States, in consequence of his epoch making incorporation of dry farming from Tunis. Africa.
 Like the Hebrew lawgiver smote streams of water from a rock in the wilderness. Dominguez has opened the way of covering the scorched lands which form three-quarters of the surface of Mexico. into we'll wat cred plantations, producing from 30 to 40 bushels of corn to the acre. By combining the wizardy of dry farming with scientific fert lization and seed selection. he has caused his 500 acre farm at San Juan Tecamachalko in the state of Pueblo to produce tenfold above the yield of the surrounding haciendas.
 Farmers in the United States have been long aware of the excessive cheapness of land and labor in Mex leo. but have been restrained from settl ng there In any large numbers by the aridness of the soil and the GABNBHt Oi llAA5e1AACA@ adaptation of the principles of con seTvation of the moisture has thrown down that barrier, and made possible bv a simple and easy treatment of the soil for crops to to Hours sh un- withered during the months of rain lessness.
 A southerly migration of farmers has been for many years a feature of agriculture in the west and southwest, the husbandman abandoning high priced lands for cheaper lands farth- south. Iowa farmers have sold their $150 an acre land to buy larger quan- tites of land of equal fertiI zation in Illinois at s120 an acre. The Illinois farmer has in turn moved to Missouri and buying as good land for $50 to S100 an acre.
 Thousands of Missourians have likewise emigrated to Oklahoma and Texas, where land of high productive ness may be had for y10 an acre. So far the movement has been halt ed at the Rio Grapde. but with the possibility of buying a farm for a S ! bill. hiring twenty laborers for s5 a :, day and producing crops of 30 bush, els Of corn to the acre. it s consid

"DON'T TELL MOTHER" BOY
CRUSHED BY AUTO SAYS

NEW YORK, June 25.-Another little
boy was knocked down, run over and
killed by an automobile yesterday. The
accident happened in Fifty-first street.
near Tenth avenue, in front of the
Church of the Sacred Heart. AS in the
case OF young Ingvaard Trimble, this
boy also was playing in the street. Tho
automobile came whizzing along, ope-
rated so the police charge, in reck-
less manner,
The little victim was Tommy Tully,
jr., years old the pride of his family
and a remarkably bright pupil in the
parochial school of the Church of the
street. Tommy came home from school,
as usual, at o'clock He lived at 73S
Tenth avenue. He said to his mother:
"I'lI take little sister out and leave
her with some girls, while play mar
bles."
The little sister was Mary, years old. old
Tommy" warned his mother, "be
very careful of the automobiles and be
sure you keep an eye on Mary"
Tommy promised, and when he had
left little Mary safe with older girls he
joined Richard Bee of 1853 Ninth ave
nue. and George Dooley of 525 West
Fiftieth street, boys of his own age, in
game of marbles. 1t was then about
3:45 o'clock.
The game had not progressed far
when Tommy's shooter slipped out of
his fingers and rolled across the street.
He ran after it. He did not see an
automobile rushing toward him. Neither
did his playmates. They looked up only
when they heard a scream and saw
Tommy PROSTATE on the street,
gray touring automobile having just
crunched over his little body.
The automobile was driven by Harry
x. Sutherland, 2S years old, of 108 West
Eighty third street, demonstrator for
the Knox Automobile company, 629
West Fifty-first street. sutherland was
taking the car to the Fairview apart
ments on Broadway, between Forty
eighth and Forty-ninth streets, to ex-
hibit It's qualities to a possible pur-
Sutherland says the boy tripped, fell
and slid between the front and rear
wheels and that only the rear wheel
passed over him. No one could be
found who saw exactly how the acci-
dent happened, but there was another
little victim groaning in agony on the
street.
Bee and Dooley rushed over to their
little playmate. Tommy, conscious,
looked up at the boys and said family;
Don't say anything to my mother
until 1 find out how bad I'm hurt"
Then he lapsed into unconsciousness
and did not revive.
Sutherland stopped almost instantly,
and, jumping out, gathered the boy in
his arms and laid him on the cushions
in the rear of the automobile. Then he
| drove to the Roosevelt hospital and
told what had hannened.
| Patrolman Edward Collins arrested
Sutherland at the hospital and locked
him up III the West FortS-seveyth
street stati)n on a charge of homicide.
