FIRST BLOOD SHED
OFFREvOLUTION
INSURGENTS ADMINISTER A GOOD
THRASHlNG TO ZELAYA'S
TROOPS, KILLING MANY.

BLUEFIELD, Nicaragua, Oct, 20
(By wireless telegraph via Colon.)-
The tug Blanca, which has arrived
here from Greytown, brings news OF
the first important battle of the revo'
luton. Gen. Chaomrro's forces fought
an engagement on Friday with 1,0Oo
of President Zelayas troops at point
below Boca Sancarlos, on the San Juan
River. The revolutionists won a de-
cisive victory, 100 of the Government
troops being killed and wounded. Gen.
Chamorro's losses were slight. Tne
insurgents captured two Krupp siege
guns and 400 rifles.
This defeat for President zelaya
will doubtless have a deterrent effect
on recruiting for the Government SER
vice at Hanagua, and is likely also to
hiring additional reinforcement to
the standards of the insurgents. Gen.
Chamorro is now advancing slowly.
The steamer Yulu belonging to the
Emery Company also has reached
here with the details of the capture
by the revolutionists of Capt Gracias
a Dios. This port was easily taken,
not more than FIVE or six men being
killed and small number wounded
This gives the revolutionists control
of the entire Atlantic Coast.

Cultivation of Broom Corn

Broom corn is one OF the staple crops
of Oklahoma. According to the statis-
tics compiled by the State Board of
Agriculture for the year 1907, the
broom corn growers of the new state
planted l55.80S acres to this crop, The
area of production is confined largely
to the western and northwestern coun-
ties, although some brush is raised in
the eastern and southern parts of the
state. During the early settlement OF
this country, broom corn was favor
tie crop for newly broken land, and ev-
en- at this time goodly portion of the
brush is raised on sod, The soil aud
climate in Northwestern Oklahoma ap-
pear to be well adapted to the require
ments OF this crop. Generally speak
ing, the rainfall in these sections is
comparatively light in the autumn and
this gives the grower an opportunity to
get his brush cured with minimum
amount OF care.
A Good Sod Crop--It is a common
prac tice with many TO grow broomcorn
with limited amount of culture. Free
quently the seed is planted on freshly
turned sod, and the crop is allowed to
mature without receiving even a sim
gle cultivation. Although broom corn
and other plants belonging TO that
same group will make fair record

winter will not be driven from the
plowed field into the low ravines.
