CHIHUAHUA WILL FLOAT
BONDS FOR REVOLUTION
State and General 0rozCo VIII
Jointly Guarantee Issue of
100000
CBy Associated Press.)

CHIHUAHUA, Mexico, June bonds
in the sum of $1.OO0,OOO and for any addi-
tional amount that may be found neces-
sary for the successful prosecution of
the revolution against the Mexican gov
eminent were authorized today by the
legislature of the state Of Chihuahua
Two agents have left here for New
York city to negotiate the sale of the
bonds, which are guaranteed not only
by the state Of chihuahua, but by Cen
Pascual Orozco, as chief of the liberals.
Just where the bonds are to be sold was
not made known at headquarters, but
II was said that American money would
not be sought. 1t was said that agents
of foreign banking houses in the United
States, presumably a Canadian firm, had
agreed to take the first block of bonds
and subsequent issues stipulating only
that the bonds be guaranteed by the
state of Chihuahua as we'll as by General
Orozco.
CHIHUAHUA SOLVENT.
Whatever the outcome of the present
revolution is. It is believed that the
state of Chihuahua would never repudiate
debts contracted through its recog-
nized legislature, and as, at the close
of a revolution, a war budget is expect
ed to meet all claims. the rebel fnan-
cial committee believes it can persuade
the bank that no risk is involved.
The rebels appear to be supplying
themselves not only with money but with
much-needed ammunition This is being
brought into the rebel lines at the rate
Of $4,000 to $4,000 rounds a day. The reb-
els are particularly joyous over the &C
QUESTION of about $4,000 rounds by way Of
Columbus, N. M, two days ago. Although
the United States authorities arrested
number of those implicated, they were
unable to preevnt the shipment from
crossing the boundary Ammunition is
being transported rapidly to Bachimba,
40 miles south of here, where the main
engagement with General Huerta's forces
is expected within a week. The work
of terrifying the almost impregnable pass
at Bachimba continues undated. Miles
of entertainments have been dug, thou
sands of rifle pits have been made by
the troops on the peaks commanding the
approaches to the pass and with p'enty
of ammunition rebel leaders say they
will be able to stand off Huerta's army,
giving a much better account of them
selves than at RellanO, when the rebels
were compelled to retire with empty
cartridge belts.

amount of stable manure is used on
soils of this character the writer is
reliably informed that the flavor and
quality of the product obtained from
the cane are likely to be aftecJed. Sugar
cane, as you know, is a very gross feed
ing plant and takes up extraordinarily
large quantities of water. Therefore,
yard manure if put on for the enricn-
ment of lands intended for this crop
should be put on the previous fall and
rather early in the season. Yard ma
nure may be used with great advantage
and safety on so many crops that il is
probably best not to apply it to cane
felds under ordinary circumstances.
The needed vegetable matter and hui
mus may be secured from the turning
under of green leguminOus crops grown
the previous year Naturally, if one is
engaged in the successful cultivation Of
sugar cane the land must be rotated
to some extent. BY following the meth
Cd suggested, several difficulties will
be obviated and several advantages
gained. We believe a minimum applica-
ton of 500 to 1000 pounds of fertilizer
is advisable for sugar cane on the sandy
gray lands in this state. At least one
half of it should be put under the drill
row at the time of planting, and one or
two side applications may be used dur
ing the growing season. This crop
makes a particularly heavy draft on nj
trogen and potash. OF course, IL re-
quires a considerable amount Of phos-
pEoric arid but not such large amounts
as some other crops. We think as a
rule a formula containing about to s
per cent of phosphoric acid, to per
cent of nitrogen and to s per cent OF
potash will be found about right
Some books have been published on
the subject of sugar cane cultivation
among the best of which are Sugar and
Sugar Cane" by Noel DEER: and the
STORY of Sugar Cane" by John Thomp-
son Surface. You can secure these
books through any reliable book store

Tampa to Sodom or Gomorra, or for
the Tampa papers to throw a similar
trickbat at Jacksonville. Nor is II
just the thing, as we view it, for
the newspapers of the State to throw
cut the impression that these two
cities are the most wicked in the
country. AS a matter OF fact, both
cities have much To be desired i'm the
way of moral perfection. but this is

FLORIDA AS A SUMMER RESORT

South with the birds in the fall;
North with the birds in the spring,
was the old order among those who
could afford to have two homes dur
ing the year. 1t has been positively
questionable for any one in the
South to spend a summer vacation in
his own section, and il has been con-
sidered positively ridiculous for Il
northerner or westerner to come to
the south during the summer.
He will frizzle and fry under the
blistering sun in the North. he will
be carted to the hospital with sun-
Strickland all the while will pooh
pooh the idea of going South for the
summer.
Ii is all habit and fashion,
based on very plausible argument,
to effect that if Florida is a winter
resort. il cannot therefore be sum-
mer resort. This delusion prevails
even in the interior States of the
South itself. It's a foolish delusion.
a senseless habit. fashion without
reasonable foundation. and in the
very near future, when the people of
these United States discover what a
dclectible climate Florida has the
year round this State will become not
only the winter resort of the entire
country. but the summer refuge OF
the south. and of a large portion OF
the north and west.
On the face of il. il does seem non.
sensieal to go to the same place fol

heat There is nothing foolish. how
