BETWEEN MEXICO and U. S.
TREATY WAS DRAFTED osTENs-
IDLY TO PREVENT SMUGGLING

GREAT EFFECT IN TIME OF WAR
OF BENEFIT TO GOVERNMENT.

Washington, D. c., Feb. S.-Possibly
it was with an apprehension of what
Is just coming to pass on the Texas
border that Senior De La Barra, the
Mexican ambassador. some time ago
proposed to Secretary Knox the ne
gotiation Of treaty to regulate the
flight Of aeroplanes between the
United States and Mexico
Secretary Knox was willing to enter
tain the proposition and as a result
treaty has been drafted which has re-
ceived the approval of the Mexican
government and is now before the state
department for its action.
Ostensibly the purpose of the Next
can government was to prevent snug
Cling, which could be carried on in
the case of small and exceedingly val
liable commodities, such as jewels,
laces, opium and the like, almost with
impunity and with great profit by
aeroplanes in the absence of regula-
tions.
But another very important use of
the aeroplane was evidently in mind,
and that was the possible employment
by revolutionists in conveying infor-
nation of the movements of govern
ment troops endeavoring to capture
rebel forces.

eouIt of their raids on watermelo
patches III those portions Of the
state they have during the past
Jew weeks caused heavy losses to
growers. These flcct-footcd den
llenS OF the plains seem to regard
a nice ripe watermelon as one of
,he greatest delicacics that they
can run across. They appear to
have an inbOrn instinct which
tells them when a melon is ripe,
and they seldom or never are
iOOled.
In some patches they have des-
Jroyed several hundred melons.
one melon grower is reported to
have discovered method OF pre-
venting raids by these shrewd
animals. The simplicity of the
scheme is such that it will be a
boon to melon growers. The
grower in question has surround
I'd his patch with single strand
If binder twine, which he has
placed about one foot above the
surface of the ground, the twine
being supported at intervals by
sticks stuck in the ground.
The coyotes, it is said, will not
jump over the string, which they
could easily do if so disposed, or
crawl under it. This is believed
TO be due to their natural cum
ming, ways which leads them to
believe that the twine is some
sort OF trap and that they will
come to grief if they cross it.

Sturgis, Sept. pa remark
able alfalfa story is told by Car
man Fisher which seems mcrcd-
ible but is nevertheless true. Mr..
Fisher has lived in this country
for many years and is an alfalfa
raiser, owning and operating an
alfalfa hullcr. He was in Smith
wick on his way home from
French creek and stated that he
had recently thrashed out over
200 bushels Of alfalfa seed for
Alec Brewer Of the Flying V
ranch.
1t was volunteer alfalfa, grown
in lmbroken gumbo soil which
has never seen IA plow or seeder.
TIis seems hard to believe, but
it is supposed that the seed was
deposited there from other fields
two years ago in a flood, as it
is on bottom land on French
creek.
This year the alfalfa made goo(
growth and Mr.. Brewer let it 60
to seed. Fisher says that he
would have got 400 bushels had
it been stacked and taken care
Of, for it was in very bad shape
owing to the recent rains.
a sample of this seed was
sent to Chicago and an offer OF
$l1.5O per bushel was made.
Fisher says that many will
doubt his story but these he ad-
vises to write to Alec Brewer, of
Fairbuln, S. d., who is proud OF
his volunteer crop.
