Decision of the Umpire, Eugene
Lafuer of Montreal, in
Chamizal Case.
BOTH UNITED STATES
AND MEXICO PROTEST
Probability That the Whole
Matter viii Be Relegated to
Diplomatic Adjustment.

Ell PASO, Tex, June l5.-The in
ternational boundary commission, con
sisting OF General Anson Mills, Amcri-
can commissioner; Senor Puga, Mexi-
can commissioner, and Hon. Eugene La
fluer of Montreal. Canada, presiding
commissioner. today handed down its
decision in the Chamizal arbitration.
The question submitted to the com.
mission was as to the international
title of the Chamizal tract. a body OF
accretion land lying between the pres
ent channel of the Rio Grande and the
obliterated and abandoned channel of
the river as surveyed by the boundary
commission in 1852.
The tract is and always has been
physically and geographically part OF
the city of FL paso About 5000 of the
30, 900 inhabitants of Ell Paso live upon
the tract.
Dispute Remains.
The opinion and award of the com.
mission are indecisive. The net result
of the opinions of the three commits
points of contact, is an attempted dl.
vision OF the tract between the United
States and Mexico, the suggested dlvld
ing line being the channel OF the river
as il ran in 1864, line which the com
mission docs not attempt 10 relocate
and which is impossible OF relocation.
The decision marks a notable depar
ture. 1t is the first attempt so far as
is known in the history of Jurisprudence
to divide land upon the theory that
slow erosion would change the boun
diary line and that rapid erosion would
not.
4 vigorous dissenting opinion was
filed by the American commissioner. in
which he takes the ground that the
commission exceeded its jurisdiction in
attempting TO divide the tract; that it
failed TO apply the rule of law pre-
scribed by the treaty between the
United States and Mexico OF 1884, and
finally. that the award is uncertain in
its terms and impossible of applica
tion.
Unauthorized Compromise
In concluding his opinion he said
that the award "breathed the spirit of
unconscious but nevertheless unauthor
lied compromise rather than A judicial
determination
The Mexican commissioner also filed
dissenting opinion.
The agent of the United States, upon
his own motion and subject to the con
sideration and action of the United
States government, filed a suggestion
of protest on the ground that the com
mission had departed from the terms Of
the submission; that the award was
uncertain and impossible OF applica
tion; that the presiding commissioner
on certain points had failed to state
his reasons as required by the conven.
tion submitting the case, and because
of essential error OF law and fact.

and asked him what had been done

Mr.. Palmer added that Mr.. Willetts

Utah and as result of the Ground

"sIt was a big question in those

may be used, but In general a 20 to 20
per cent. emulsion will be better.
All the cattle should be sprayed
every two weeks and the treatment
should not be discontinued simply be-
cause the ticks have become scarce or
seem to have disappeared.
In localities where ticks commonly
occur on cattle in considerable num-
bers during the winter time 1t Will be
advisable to continue spraying. In To-
calities where ticks disappear or arc
present in very small numbers during
the winter, the cattle should be In
spected carefully each week to remove
and destroy any ticks that may be
present. When warm weather comes.
1t will be well In all cases In which
spraying has been discontinued dur
ing the winter to begin spraying and
continue until it can be determined
with certainty that eradication has
been accomplished. The spraying
should not be delayed until ticks show
again in considerable numbers. One
tick destroyed in the early spring will
save the trouble of destroying thou
sands few months later.

MEXICAN STYLE
OF FARMING
Most Primitive Methods Of Agra.
culture Are StiII Carried on
In Many Parts of the
Old Republic.

By vICE-CONsUL r. M STADDEN)
The most primitive method OF
farming is still carried on in many
parts of Mexico. The blowing is done
by the old-time bull tongue, which
is a crooked stick with the point COW
cred with an iron shoe, which only
scratches the soil.
Corn is planted by hand, man fol-
lowing the pillow, dropping the seed
and covering it with his foot. 1t is
cultivated with the same plow, which
gives very poor results in destroying
the weeds. The fodder is gathered
by pulling the leaves OF blades from
the stock, which are made into bum
dies and carried from the fields by
pack mules.
Rice is planted. after the native
pillow has scratched over the land, by
being thrown broadcast, and covered
by hauling a bunch of brush over the
land. When the rice is about one
foot or Is inches high It is cut down
with grass hooks; not even scythe
Is used for this work. This cutting
back is said to make the rice grow
more bunchy and enables the rice
plant to get the best Of the weeds
whereas, II the land had been proper
~ plowed before planting. there
would be no weeds and this cutting
back would not be necessary. Some
eight or ten days before cutting OF
harvesting time the water is shut OF
from the rice fields to allow the rice
to ripen, when it is cut with the same
grass hooks. 1t is then piled up fol
three days, when 1t is threshed by be
ing hand beaten on a rock, by which
process five to ten per cent of the
grain remains on the straw. During
the eight or ten days the field is dry
ing out a loss of about 40 per cent. o.
grain occurs from various causes.
This style of farming, without
farm implements, could be continued
through the long list of crops that are
raised In that country.

IMPORTANCE OF ERADICATINC
INJURIOUS CATTLE TICK
Southern States Need Live Stock and
Larger Dairy Industry-Objects be Promoted
Destroying Pest.

The eradication of the cattle tick
from the southern states Is a problem
OF prime importance to the agricui-
tural interests of that section. More
over, the good that would result from
the elimination Of the tick would not
be entirely confined to the region d.
rectly concerned, and thus the matter
assumes to a certain degree a national
Importance.
The south needs more and better
live stock and larger dairy industry,
and these objects would be greatly
promoted by the destruction of the
tick. The increased production of live
stock by reason of its important bear
ing in maintaining and improving the
fertility of the soil. would be of dis
tinct benefit In increasing the yield of
field crops. An incidental though i'm
portant advantage of stock raising and
dairying would be found In the distri-
button of the farmers income through
out the year, enabling him to live on
cash basis. 1t can thus be seen that
the benefits which would accrue to
southern agriculture from the EXTERN
fnation of the cattle tick would be
very great and far-reaching.
There are several species of cattle
ticks, but the chief one is commonly
called the cattle" or Texas fever"
tick 1t is the one most frequently
found on cattle and is much more
abundant than the other species.
When the losses occasioned by this
parasite are once thoroughly under
stood by farmers and stockmen there
will be little need for arguments in
favor of tick eradication. Some of the
losses are not directly noticeable and
consequently make little impression,
while other losses properly charge
able to the tick are frequently attrib-
uted to other causes.
Various writer's have estimated the
annual loss due to the tick at from
100000 to 500, 100000. These fig
ures should be ample argument. even
to the most comprehensive, for the
eradication of the pest
In getting rid of the tick, 1t may be
attacked on the pasture and on the
cattle.
In freeing pastures the method fol-
lowed may be either a direct or an
indirect one.
The former consists In excluding all
cattle, horses and mules from pas
lures until all the ticks have died from
The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1911-03-18
Pail Spraying Pump.

starvation. The latter consists in per-
uniting the cattle and other animals
to continue on the infested pasture
and treating them at regular inter-
walls with oils or other agents destruc-
tive to ticks and thus preventing en-
gorged females from dropping and re-
infesting the pasture. The larvae on
the pasture, or those which hatch
from eggs laid by females already
there, will all eventually meet death
Such of these as get upon the cattle
from time to time viii be destroyed by
the treatment, while those which fail
to find host will die in the pasture
from starvation.
Animals may be freed of ticks in
two ways They may be treated with
an agent that will destroy all the ticks
present, or they may be rotated at
proper intervals on tick-free fields I'M
I'll all the ticks have dropped.
Spraying is probably the most con-
