Tells of Thousands of Well
Paid Mexicans in the
United States.

Torreon, Mex. Sept 4-of the nu-
merous speeches which have been
made in the course Of the working
mems demonstrations in this section
none, with the exception OF that OF De
Lara, the socialist, has caused greater
interest than that delivered by man
of the lower class from the kiosk in
the Gomez Palacio plaza to the null
titude assembled there.
The talker asked the Mexicans to
drop their anti-foreign feeling and
was characterized by not only its sin
certify, but by the soundness OF its
argument.
What If the people OF the United
States should take b notion every
Fourth of July to cry "Mueren los
Mexicanos." and attempt either to kill
them or drive them out of their coun-
try? he asked.
Retaliation Certain.
eff we massacre foreigners in our
midst, what would become of the Mex
leans who are living In foreign coun-
tries. especially in the United States?"
he asked. Would they be disposed
to do so, should they not be justified
in according our brethren the same
treatment as we give to foreigners
here in Mexico? Thousands of Mexi-
can workmen cross the river into Ell
Paso and other American ports.
Laborers Well Paid.
They are well paid, well treated
and when they return to Mexico they
say they are pleased with their stay
in the United States and often go
back there Why should we object to
foreigners residing in our country
when our own countrymen are going
to foreign countries continually? Shall
we endanger the lives of those who
leave Mexico by our unmerited actions
here?"
His remarks were received with APP
plause by the crowds in the plaza.

price must rule very low. Already a
certain class of men are at work tel
ling what enormous crops will be
thrown on the markets this coming
fall. Some of their estimates | know
to be entirely too large and no man
can send them forth unless he is
ignorant or unreliable. We know that
the apple crop on the Pacific Coast
will be much below the normal. The
June drop has been very heavy in
some parts of the United States, the
drought has been severe in some sec
tions and the scab, the bitter rot and
the codling moth are getting in their
destructive work. Fungous and bac
teriaI diseases are getting in their
deadly work. No man can tell in
June what the apple crop will be in
November. AS the situation now
appears, there will be no failure of
the apple crop but no one can yet
say whether it will be normal or above
or below that mark and only one who
tries to say just what it will be, shows
himself to be playing the part of either
the bull or the bear. I shall try to
deal fairly with the situation and
from time to time give the situation
as can gather it from our exchanges.

SPECTATORS "FIXING"
APPLE PRICES.

The "bulls and BEARS are at work
trying to fix the price of apples for
the coming fall. Some may want
word of explanation. A bull is sup
posed to throw things up and a bear
to paw them down. So the bulls are
trying to make it appear that the
price of apples will be high while the
bears are trying to make it appear
the price will be low. Now these two
classes work this way: The bears will
try to convince the country that the
crop will be enormously large and the

Crop Report.

WASHINGTON, July 10. : "Hot,
dry weather = drought = has played
something akin to havoc with the
crop condition during last month";
was the statement made today by
Prof. N. G. Murray, acting chief of
the crop reporting board OF the de-
partment of agriculture, after the
announcement of the July report on
grain and produce.
"The report said Prof. Murray,
''retlects the rather serious effects of
the drought in June. most of the i'm
portant crops showing a condition
which yields below last year and below
recent average yields.
FEEDSTUFF, OATS AND
HAY SUFFER.
"Feedstuff. oats and hay seem to
have been hardest hit. Less than
two thirds Of normal crop of hay is
expected and the oats crop probably
will be more than % per cent less than
the average for the last five years.
"The corn acreage is the largest
ever recorded, but the condition of
the crop is about per cent below the
average. That indicates production
of approximately per cent less than
last years record crop, but nearly 5
per cent more than the average pro.
duction in the last five years. The
condition of the corn crop on July 1,
however, was critical.
POTATO CROP SHORT.
"The potato crop promises to be
unusually short. The acreage has
fallen off, probably on account of
unsatisfactory prices last year, and
the condition of the crop now is lower
than at any time on July in the
last twenty two years. Almost a
sensational advance in the price of
potatoes has been made during the
last month. The average price on
July was 96.3 cents a bushel
"Owing to the difficulty in the set
ting out of tobacco plants, the acreage
has been reduced % per cent from
that of last year. The low condition,
together with the shortage of acreage
have combined to reduce the indie
tions to total production of 1873 per
cent of last years crop, or 77.3 per
cent of the average for the last five
years.
WHEAT NOT MUCH DAMAGED.

Horticulture

We have often made the Bordeaux
mixture for our own use. We use
two degrees of strength. One is six
pounds of bluestone, six pounds of
good quick lime and fifty gallons of
water. This preparation should be
used only when the trees are dormant.
After the leaves have put out use just
half as much bluestone and half as
much lime and the fifty gallons OF
water. We call these the $3.50 formula
and the $3.50 formula. Some of our
scholarly men would use 44-50 for
mula and $3.50 formula for summer
spraying, but [ have found that where
we use more than 3 pounds of copper
sulphate (bluestone) to so gallons of
water for summer spray we are apt to
russell the young apples which is a
serious matter when we come to sell
them.
1t is very important to know how to
mix these ingredients. Dissolve the
bluestone in enough water so it will
all be dissolved. Never use any vessel
except wooden or earthern in which
you place the bluestone solution or
the completed Bordeaux. Then slack
your lime in a separate vessel-any
kind will do for this. Before these
two mixtures are poured together In
a fifty gallon barrel, it is best to
dilute them so you have twenty live
gallons of each. One person should
pour the lime solution and another
the bluestone solution into the fifty
gallon barrel, while third person
thoroughly stirs the mixture as these
two solutions are slowly poured to-
gether. This compound must be used
the same day it is made but the
separate solutions of lime and blue
stone may be kept indefinitely. This
is very brief statement of the max
ing of the Bordeaux mixture. Pos
sibly the directions may be too much
condensed to be we'll understood. Get
the bulletins have recommended
and they will give the directions in
less condensed form.
The rule commonly laid down by
botanists in fighting fungous growths
is this: "Fungous diseases can not
be cured, but can be prevented. -
That means that we must kill the
spores before they have taken root in
in the plant. These roots, called by
scientific men mycelia singular my
celium), extend down under the outer
coating of the limbs, leaves or fruit.
We cannot kill these mycelia because
they cannot be reached by our spray
material, but they do not live but one
year. SO if we kill the spores we pre-
vent new attacks. We can kill the
spores to some extent in the summer,
but il we do, more may be produced
because the mycelia still remain alive.
This explains the rule that we cannot
cure fungous growths but we can pre-
vent them.

Does Advertising Pay, You Ask.

Last Wednesday, morning N. E..
Montgomery, one of the firm who
purchased the bankrupt stock of w.
II. Jones, ordered in this office 200
page posters printed, Thursday morn
ing men took the posters and drove
through the country distributing them
as far as they would go. The bills
cost them $2.25 and distributing prob
ably cost $500. The store was apen-
ed to the public Thursday morning
on that meagre amount Of advertising
and when it closed Thursday night,
$6 O0.00 cash sales were rung up on
the register. Public patronage had
been withdrawn from this store sew
eral months, there was probably not
fifteen per cent. of the people who
knew that it was to be opened on
the day mentioned and yet the two
men, Messers Montgomery & Owens
received good return for the am.
cunt of advertising. The local news
papers went over the rural routes
Friday morning, the Optimist contain
ing two page advertisements of local
merchants, and in both instances. the
merchants advertising, had crowded
stores both Friday afternoon and all
day Saturday. If man has anything
that will bring from one dollar up to
81 900 it will pay him to use the col
,lnns of the Optimist. We insert an
advts lisement for any amount of mon
ey from twenty five cents upward.

IMPORTANT POSTAL RULING
All Newspapers Must be Paid for
Strictly In Advance

"The above ruling has been made
by the post office departmenet OF

beyed by every newspaper In the
country. To be regular subscribers.
has been interpreted to mean paid In
advance subscribers.
after February %, 1910, every
subscriber on the o p T M 8. +
lists not paid absolutely in advance
will be stopped.
1--WE as publishers know that our
subscribers are good for the money,
but that cuts no figure, and we musd
stop the paper or pay one cent eacn
week, or So cents each year additional.
while this action may seem rather
arbitrary at first, it is exactly what all
publications printed may demand.
There is no good reason why the same
rule should not apply here, and We be-
lieve our patrons will think so them
selves when the plan receives fair
trial. u
