We have come to the dividing of the
ways-we have reached a critical
point in the history of our agricul-
tural development. Aside from the
35,000,000 acres in the United States
that can be reclaimed by irrigation,
and the 74,000,000 acres of farm lands
that can be made available for cult
vation by means of drainage, no very
large areas Of virgin soil remain to
be brought under cultivation in our
country. In time, of course, these
barren lands will be made to yield
abundant harvests-but for the pres
ent we must look elsewhere to find
solution of the problem with which we
are confronted. If we are to keep
on going forward it will be necessary
for us to secure larger yields from the
fields that are already under cultiva-
ton. That is to say, our problem is
not so much how to increase the popu-
lation in rural communities as 1t Is
to increase the producing capacity Of
the people already on the farm.
Average Yields.
The average yield of corn per acre
In the United States Is only about ~
bushels.
Our average yield of wheat is only
1877 bushels per acre-and the aver
age yield of nearly everything we
grow on the farm is exceedingly low,
compared with the yields in other
countries.
1t is high time we were waking up
and doing something.
Better Farm Management Needed.
One hundred years ago the Mohawk
valley in New York was the wonder of
Europe, was the wonder of the world
for its fertility, and thousands of car
loads of cattle, hogs and farm crops
were shipped out of that valley until
its fertility has been exhausted. The
settlers then moved westward into the
Miami and Scioto valleys of Ohio, and
did the same thing over again. Fol
lowing the exhaustion of these rich
valleys, the magnificent broad prairies
of Illinois and Iowa were brought un-
der cultivation, and the same process
is now being repeated. Even in the
Red River Valley of the North, whore

and palmer ways of life. One
lesson we will have to learn, and
that is, it is not so much the cost
Of high living as it is the cost of
living high. 1t is claimed by
some that they have as good
right to have this or that or ma
ny other things as other people
have. Let it be granted that the
rights of people are equal, but it
may be remarked that people
need not exercise all the rights
they have, and especially so if
such exercise burdens them to
an extent they may not be able
to bear. No one wishes to bur-
den himself with a burden great
er than his strength, and to do
so is unwisdom. Let there be a
due regard for the propriety of
things and there will be less
cause for complaint in many di-
rections.

Where Alfalfa Is Grown.
The accompanying map shows where
alfalfa is grown in the United States
today. At the present time all the
alfalfa grown in the United States is
less than the area of the little state
OF New Jersey, The total area under
alfalfa in this country is 4,7O7, 1876
acres. OF this area Kansas alone has
S66.962 acres of alfalfa-or about one
NTH of our entire alfalfa crop.
Nebraska comes second with $685.
2S2 acres; Colorado third, with 5OS,S92
acres; California fourth, with 4S4,134
acres; and Idaho fifth, with 3OS.S92
acres.
All Of the corn belt states are lam
entahy shy in the growing of alfalfa,
as is shown by the following rank in
which they come as producers of the
crop:
Missouri, IT; Ohio, 10; Iowa, 20; Illi-

as high a feeding value as bran.
1T is the most enriching crop for

ZOE BAlLEY'S NAME
NOW BOBS UP IN
a BANK SCANDAL

St. Louis, Mo, April 25.-The
name of former Senator Joseph w.
Bailey, of Texas, was brought INTO
the proceedings in the suit of the Ma
tional Bank of Commerce of st. Louis
to recover $1,500,000 worth Of STOCK
in the Nashville Terminal Railway
company here today. statement
was made that without the knowledge
of the bank directors, the stock was
taken out of the bauI and sent TO
Senator Bailey.
The statement continued that the
stock was taken out of the bank by j.
G.. Van Blarcom, the president of the
bank.
The banF sought to show, said the
statement of Attorney Edwards, that
a syndicate had been formed to
finance the Tennessee General, the
Nashville & Clarksville and the Nash
vile g. Knoxville railroads, the Bryan
I1ill colliery the Cumberland River
Coal company and the Tennessee Con
struction company; that one of the
partners in the syndicate had pledged
certain stock to the bank, and then,
being president of the bank, had taken
the stock out and delivered it to an
ether partner.
The bank now is seeking to recover
the securities from Mr.. Pierce.
Henry Clary Pierce testified he had
become involved to the extent OF
nearly $7,000,000 through misplaced
confidence in the late J. c. Van Blar-
com, former president of the bank.
Bailey, the statement continued,
placed the stock in the Standard Trust
company of New York, where 1t re-
mained three years. Then IT was
drawn out by the Tennessee Construc-
tion company and turned over to
Henry Clay Pierce of st. Louis.

a subsequent fight with posse.
Granada was severely wounded ana
later surrendered. He was found
guilty of first degree murder and ap-
pealed to the supreme court, that tri-
bunal refusing to interfere with the
ordered execution.
Summarily appeals were made in
each case to Governor w. c. McDon-
aid for Communication from death
sentence to one of life Imprisonment,
but the governor declined to interfere.
GOVERNORS STATEMENT.
Governor Mcdonald, who returned
last evening was seen by a represen-
tative of the New Mexican this morn
ing. In speaking of the two men who
were hung today at Socorro, the gov
ernor said that he had not given out
anything regarding the hanging for
various reasons, chief among which
was, that he desired to avoid the pos
sible creation of any false or morbid
sentimentality regarding the affair.
In all the pleas for clemency there
has not been anything to show that
the evidence in court against the
men has been in any way controvert-
cd. He takes the position that chief
executive should not be final court
of judgment.
The people of this state are in favor
of capital punishment for murder in
the first degree. The men in these
cases had been found guilty of mur-
der in the first degree and there were.

UNCLE sam BOSS
OF CANAL SAYS
RlCE.RO OLNEY

Washington, D. C., April 25.-The
United States, as owner OF the Pana'
ma canal, has the right to fix such
terms as it pleases and the neutrality
of the waterway applies to- its users
only and not to the United States This
vas the view expressed today by Rich
ard Olney, former secretary of state,
whose speech was read before meet
ing of the American Society of Inter
rational Laws. Mr. Olney did not at
tend.
1T is clear" Mr.. Olney's speech con.
tinued, that a nation or a state does
rot convey away its property or SOW
erignty except by terms that are clear
and susceptible of no other meaning:
and that where the meaning can be
taken to favor the United States, it
is the clear right of the United States
to urge that it be held; that the words
all nations do not mean to include
the United States. However, it is
not necessary to rely on this presump
.tion, as the United States is owner
and can fix such terms as it pleases' y
Washington, ID. c., April 25---Louis
Nixon of New York, agreed with Mr.
Olney that the ownership of the Pa
mama canal gave to the United States
right to make such suew as it saw
fit and such rules excluded this coun
try from the provisions of existing
treaties regarding "all nations"
"There is no word or phrase said
Mr. Nixon, that even by implication
denies our right to give free tolls to
our vessels in any trade"
81 am satisfied that this is under
stood and that the present movement
is that violent protests against remis.
sion of tolls of vessels in the coasting
trade may make us content to rest our
case there and not regulate commerce
in the constitutional and more bene-
fetal way to the nation by freeing our
vessels from tolls in the foreign
trade"

New York, April 25.-The New York

Various bat vague are the clues 10
the young woman's whereabouts. Re-
ported yesterday to have returned to
the New Jersey sanitarium, where she
disappeared Thursday afternoon, 1T
now appears that the statement OF her
return was one of expediency on the
part of the sanitarum authorities and
il is understood that neither Mr.. Bor-
den nor the family physician nor Mr..
Parden's lawyers have the slightest
idea where she is.

Socorro, N. NJ, April 25.-"lvory'' or
Twin Frazier and Francisco Granada
were hanged at 1852 this morning in
the Socorro county Jail.
Just at sunrise the men were led
from the court house, where they had
been confined under heavy guard
since 8 o'clock this morning, across a
gallery to the jail, where scaffold had
been erected AS they stood on the
traps, Fraser asked for officers to
rake the execution as nearly painless
as possible.
Unusual precautions were taken to
prevent any attempt to rescue the
men, and the time of the execution
was kept secret. These precautions
we're due to the fact that the officers
had discovered that Frazer, while
confined at the penitentiary at Santa
Fe awaiting execution, sent a letter
to friends, urging them to hold up the
train at La Joya, a small town eighty
miles south of Albuquerque, and take
him from the officers as they were
bringing him here for execution.
Fearing that the friends of the con-
,demned man might try to carry out
this request, the officers brought the
two prisoners here in special car
under guard OF IS officers, all heavily
armed.
The train which is scheduled to stop
a La Joya, dashed through the viii
lage at full speed, while officers stood
or the platform with rifles in their
hands.

he dropped some parcels he was car

is being well received abroad he
said.
The secretary also read dispatch
from Buenos Ayres, Argentine, ap-
proving of this governments eX-

EXPLORED COzUMEL
ISLAND OF YUCATAN

Jesse Nusbaum, tall and lean, and
Sylvanus Criswold Morley, short and
slender, have refused to be "cannibal-
ized'
| This is the good news received from
lucatan by a Santa Fean who has
been in correspondence with the eX-
plorers.
Messrs. Morley and Nusbaum, ac-
companied by her little daughter, are
said to be on the sea and will reach
New York May This means they
will be in Santa Fe perhaps in fort
night to receive the congratulations
OF their friends, who feared the two
explorers had made meal for the
Cozumel Island Indians.
Some time ago Abe Spiegelberg re-
ceived letter from Nusbaum telling
,of the expedition to the island, which
lis inhabited by hostile Indians with
a relish for human flesh. The Santa
Feans stated that they intended to
explore the island in order to study
the ruins of an old temple and that
they had taken the precaution to travel
with General Luiz, veteran Yucatan
warrior.
Evidently believing in the sharpness
cf the Cogumel Islanders teeth, the
general took with him machine gun
and ten soldiers
1t is said that two Englishmen, who
visited the island few years ago,
without taking this machine gun pre-
caution, were made into an Indian din
rer.
Santa Feans feel great relief at the
news that Morley and Nusbaum are
or the ocean, travelling to New York,
with little prospects of making a meal
even for the sharks.
