DENIAL OF SHOOTING.
General Felix Diaz Planning for
Standing Arm yof 10000 Men For
The Country.

Mexico City, Via Galveston, Feb
I27.-Venustiano Carranza, revolving
governor of Coahuila today expressed
willingness to recognize the Diaz-
Huerta government, according to a re-
port at the National Palace, and if
this be true, the rebellion in the
north may be considered practically
broken. Pascual OroZco, jr., COVER
nor of Tobasco, the most powerful of
the northern rebel generals, already
has declared allegiance to the new
government.
The Huerta administration plans i'm
lmediately to urge the United States to
recognize the new government,
through Emilio Rabasa, appointed
ambassador to Washington Rabasa,
a former senator and one of MeXico's
authorities on international Law,
was chosen by Huerta and confirmed
by the cabinet at special meeting.
Exactly as Emilio Madero, brother
of the slain president was reported
killed near Monterey, so there was a
report and denial of the shooting of
Raoul Madero in Torreon. There
was a rumor today that Huerta had
admitted that Emilio Madero is dead,
but this could not be confirmed.
Announcement that the provisional
president and General Felix Diaz
have made tentative plans fora stand
ing army Of $l50,O0O men for Mexico
has shown that the Iron handed-dayS
of Diaz have returned to Mexico. Il
the plans of Huerta and Diaz are car
ries out, there will be federal garri-
sons in every state of the republic.
1t was said today that the Zapatistas
would give the new government no
further trouble until Huerta gives Ia
pata formal answer to the rebel
leaders proposal for peace. Should
Huerta refuse to make terms with the
Zapatistas, raiding will be resumed,
according to those who have talked
with the chief.
In line with the plans to Increase
the standing federal army it became
known that a bill authorizing bona
issue for a loan Of 200,000,00O pesos
will be introduced in Congress today
Government officials assert that An.er-
lean financial firms are willing to
make the loan.
Rabasa the new ambassador has
been instructed to make every effort
to bring about early recognition of the
new government as the loan cannot be
made until recognition is granted.
Ell Paso, Texas. Feb. 27.-Fighting
is general today throughout the states
of Sonora, Coahuila and Morelos.
Jose Marytonera, who resigned the
governorship of Sonora, late yester-
day, has fled and it is reported he has
come to the American side.
Maderista troops are being armed
and put in the field. In Coahuila Ra-
oul Madero and Governor Carranza,
are at the head of rebellious forces
which already have captured Saltillo.

The Maderistas, as yet, are without

have the ability to get the long time
mortgage loans at the lower rate and
with the many privileges that bust
ness organizations now enjoy. He
must figure out a certain definite an
nual expense on the basis of a GER
tain gross income which must be suf-
ficiently in excess of the expense to
provide funds for proper maintenance
of the farm and it's equipment and it's
soil fertility, as we'll as an ample sum
to take care of the annual payments
on principal; he must provide for the
usual accidents and failures and then
al additional net sum or dividend of
profit, at a proper rate, based or the
market and increasing value of the
farm which he is operating.
We may talk Rural Credits" we
may complain of short term loans and
high rates of interest, and we may
send delegates to Europe to study
foreign credit systems, but in the
Anal analysis we will find that if we
are to have more favorable farm
financing, it will come only after the
adoption of systems of permanent
agriculture and to the farmer whose
character and the fertility of his land
furnish ample security.

Make Flax Pay More.
An Expert Says We Can Oou-
BILE Our Yield Per Acre,
:! i. J. + = = i. + j. j. j. J. j. + +


Flax is regarded as an especially
good crop for new land. AS there Is
less and less new land available the
acreage own to flax greatly decreases
in most states. In 1909 Montana raised
447,4S4 bushels of flax seed on 37,647
acres of land. About M farmer In
every twenty grew flax in Montana
in 1908 to only one in every thousand
In 1899, so it does not appear that
Montana has yet reached the stage
where it can afford to disregard max.
1t is important that farmers should
increase the yield per acre IL they arc
to grow this crop and that they should
know something about the cost of
producing it. The Experiment Sta
ton states in its circular No. Is, that
although it is astonishing how few
farmers know the cost OF growing
their crops, even less is known about
fax.
The usual estimate in the case OF
blowing is 81 per acre. Allowing from
SO cents to 81 for rolling and discing,
81 to $3.50 for seeding, including the
seed, and $3.50 for harvesting and
threshing, we have a total amount OF
from $3.50 to $3.50. This crop at 81.
SO per bushel will bring in $14 per
acre sven if we only an eight
bushel crop, although it is readily
seen that in 1909 the average for this
state was almost twelve bushels per
acre. Our Experiment Station expert
is, therefore, not overestimating when
he says that this return Of $14 per
acre makes an average of S. left for
interest, rent and profit.
He believes that "by increasing the
expenditure for tillage and prepare
ton of seed bed So per acre a double
yield may be reasonably expected and
the profit increased by 100 per cent
Surely 1t would pay farmers to use
better tillage methods.
