Uvalde, Tex, Aug. 24--That dry
farming is bringing about marvellous
changes for the better in west Texas;
that the production is being increased
and the harvest made certain, and that
the former despised semi-arid region
is now in truth land flowing with
milk and honey, Is the story being
told at the Texas Dry Farming con-
gress at Uyalde.
The facts presented show conclu-
sively that dry farming-the conserva-
ton of the moisture-is both practic-
able and successful, and is destined to
redeem to the plow, within the next
few years, thousands upon thousands
of acres of land which will add to the
state and support largely Increased
agricultural population.
Enthusiasts who are actually prac-
ticing with profitable success these
methods are gathered from IL of the
Is counties between San Antonio and
Ell Paso. The stories they are telling

DRY FARMING HAS ALREADY DONE MUCH
FOR WEST TEXAS; PROOF IS OFFERED

this change is credited to the efforts
of men who organized the Texas Dry
Farming congress, and to the CAM
paign of publicity and encouragement
carried on by the organization during
the two years of its existence, for
much of the change for the better has
taken place in the region referred to
in that comparatively short period OF
time.
The feature of the morning session
was the addresses of j. L. QuicksalL
of Waco. United States department of
agriculture, on cotton growing in
Texas in dry seasons, and Prof c. A.
Bonner on dry land forage crops
Hugo Braesicke, OF Rio Grande,
Uvalde county, a member of the Boys
Corn club, was introduced. He has,
through dry farming methods, this
year produced so bushels of corn to
the acre, the largest crop ever known
in this section of Texas.
The attendance is about 500.

are of an optimistic nature and such
that will mean a great deal for future
development.
Facts show that since the introduce
ton of dry farming the production of
cotton between San Antonio and Ell
Paso has increased from 16 bales to
100000 bales. Where a few years ago
it took 10, to % acres of land to sup
port a longhorn cow, the same acreage
is now being made, by experimenting
it by the acreage planted in forage,
to produce from six to 10 head of cat
tie of a much higher and much bet
ter grade. What has been termed bar
rem wastes are now loading down the
tables of the men who cultivate the
soil with the most luscious fruit and
the most desirable of vegetables
The west has ceased to be looked
upon in a scornful manner by farm
ers and is being c1assed with the prof
table producing regions of the state,

Madero should make the horseback
trip from Cuernavaca to Cuautla and
meet his death on the way. This is
how the war correspondent of Ell Dia-
rio described the meeting between Ma
dero and Zapata in the railroad station
at Cuautla: "Madero appeared on the
rear platform of the train wearing the
same gray suit he wore at Puebla and
Panama hat. The populace acclaimed
him as the insurrecto chief, Zapata.
with his inseparable carbine in his
right hand, advanced to greet the chief
of the revolution Madero, with
gesture, invited him to ascend to the
platform and the two leaders greeted
one another in a prolonged embrace.
Then Madero addressed Zapata, saying
in a loud voice: I know that you
are my staunch adherent General
Huerta deceived me as easily as he
could child when he asuref me that
the federals would not advance from
Cuernavaca- But this was only a
scheme Of Reyes to have me make the
trip from Cuernavaca to Cuautla on
horseback and to provoke an encounter
so that I might be killed in the fight,
since Reyes knows that it is only by
my death that he can ascend to the
presidency"

Reyes Makes Denial.

Gen. Reyes came out at once with
lengthy interview in which he made
flat denial Of the Madero charges, but
plays politics in replying to that por-
ton of Madero's speech in which Reyes
is accused of humiliating himself be-
fore the powerful, by declaring that
while his attitude toward those in au-
thority had never been one which
would cost him self respect, he had
always shown proper regard for con-
stituted authority and would give Mr..
Madero or whoever else was elected
president the same consideration which
he has shown Gen Diaz-
The fact that Gen. Huerta, in COM
mand of the federal forces in Morelos,
is a firm adherent of Gen. Reyes, per-
haps. has much TO do with the strong
charges made by Madero. From a
high authority in the war department
it can be stated, however, that Gen.
Huerta's advance from Cuernavaca was
due to direct orders from the depart
ment and it would have been fragrant
INSTRUMENTATION had he refused to COM
ply.
Catholics Afraid of Madero.
That the action Of the Catholic party
in nominating Madero for president
and Francisco l. de la Barra for vice
president does not meet with the en-
dorsement of all Catholics has already
become apparent and 1t is even limited
that some of the clubs which sent del
egates to the convention will not rati-
fly the action of their representatives
in the convention. When the conven-
ton determined to support a Mason
and a spiritualist as the head of the
ticket, some strict Catholics who failed
to appreciate the good politics of the
move, gasped in amazement and cannot
yet understand how a Catholic conven-
ton could decide to support a Mason.
One of the points made in support
of the contention that clubs which
sent delegates may refuse to endorse
the decision Of the convention, is that
the delegates exceeded their powers in
deciding that they would not nomi-
nate candidates for their own party.
The delegates themselves got a little
twisted in their proceedings, for after
deciding not to nominate from their
own party but TO protest adherence to
candidates already in the field, they
put president de Ia Barra IN as a can
didate for vice president. although no
other party has ever suggested him for
that position.
