CHICAGO. May @.-Hot weather kept
wheat on the rise today. Threats OF a
short yield in the southwest helped give
the bulls an advantage which they utilized
net gain of 13sc to lie. May proved ApRn-
tive and scored only an hc advance. OsR9s
cereals and the provision list all went sk
ward-Corn up &c to 1dlhc, oats INC 20
1ssc and hog products SC to 22nc.
Throughout the day the wheat market
lures and lack of rain had wrought evil 20
the crops In Texas, Oklahoma and southern
Kansas, Some of the figures for the prob
able output OF the two first mentioned
states were sensgational-less than % per
cent of the yield for the previous season.
II was thought to be not without signifi-
canoe that the initial demand came from
the best sellers on the advance. There was
also considerable investment buying based
upon signs OF the July delivery having
passed under the control OF the concer-
trated holdings in May. During the ses-
sion. July ranged from S7%c to 89Ac snd
closed steady NC net higher at s9AGS9ISc.
Scarcity of acceptance from the COUNTRY
frightened corn shorts July fluctuated be.
tween 62Stc and b3escg53Ac, closing steadys1r
bS15g5Sc, with net gain OF ld1hc. essN
grades were firm. No yellow finishol
at 54hd541hc.
Activity and bullying prices formed the
rule for the oats crowd. Highest low lin
It's for July turned out to be SSsd352tc, ami
S4kc, with last sales nc up at 25%c
The advance OF provisions rested chiefly
on the strength Of grain. In the end pork
was higher by l215c to re lard. sc TO ID
TIC, and ribs, 2Rc to 10c.

pointed out that in such an ex-
plosion, the lives and property of
foreigners living in Mexico were
anything rather than safe and
that the United States must be
prepared to protect those lives
and that property, or see English,
French, and especially German
troops put at the task. The
easiest way in a case of this
kind to prevent foreign interfer-
ence is to leave no excuse for
it. That, in our judgment, is the
reason and the sufficient rea-

IN THE DISTRICT COURT

Judge G. c. Holbrook handed
down decisions on three cases in
tn district court last Monday
aggregating a total of $16,214.0O
against the Hagadorn Investment
Co. The cases were brought by
j. l.. Jones, E. j. Sim and b. r.
Sim. Their claims were for
5000, $1,000 and $4,000, respec-
lively, and for damages in each
case. In the latter case the court
allowed 1914 damages. The three
prosecutors purchased land from
the Hagadorn Investment Co.
upon claims which were evidently
Misrepresentation. The cases
were argued before the court in
chambers at Alamosa and the
decisions were handed down in
open court at the adjourned ses-
sion Monday. Appeals were taken
in each of the cases to the SUI
preme court.
Three other cases against the
Hagadorns were ruled upon by the
court. They were cases brought
by II. j. Reike, WIN. Reike and
II. Reike, Jr. Defendants de-

becomes so dormant that it will
take weeks of time to develop
new buds and root hairs. Win
ter moisture in the soil, with
frost action, also breaks up com
pacted soil conditions that will
help to conserve the subsoil
moisture and increase the hay
yield.
3. Avoid pasturing alfalfa
fields, especially when wet.
4. Cultivate alfalfa fields
carly in the spring, with the al
falfa renovator, disc, spring-tooth
harrow or any special alfalfa cul-
tivator, for the following reasons.
D To break up compact soil
conditions.
(2) To get air into the soil which
is very SSentlal.
(3) To work leaves and other or
ganic matter into the soil.
(4) To break up capillary action,
thus conserving moisture.
(5) To destroy foxtail sod, grass
hopper eggs, and other pests.
5. Do not let ice form over
alfalfa fields by winter irriga-
ton for any length of time.
6. Rowing out the alfalfa hay
field affords a better system of
irrigation than the ordinary flood
ing method often practiced that
so often over soaks the field, to
the detriment Of the yield Of hay.
Z. Cut alfalfa for hay when
the growth cfecks and the plant
puts out new shoots from the
crown; this is usually about the
time the plant is well started
to bloom.
s. In curing alfalfa hay it
should be done in the windrow
and cock rather than in the swath
as the leaves will shatter if sud
denly dried up in the sun. The
undried green leaf is an import
ant factor in reducing the sap
in the stems in the curing pro-
cess.
