AMBASSADOR WILSON IN
FAVOR OF HUERTA REGIME
Enjoys Report TO Secretary of State
Is Given in Part-lntervention
Is Not Wanted.

New York, July 29.-According to
a special dispatch from Washington to
the New York Herald Sunday, it is
possible to summarize the most sig
nificant portions of the report which
Ambassador Wilson submitted to Sec
rotary of State Bryan on conditions in
Mexico.
Ambassador Wilson thinks General
Huerta is a big man and that his is
the only government worthy of the
name in Mexico. He suggests that the
Huerta government be recognized on
these conditions:
That it controls all Mexico up to the
twenty-sixth parallel, and is compe-
tent to hold and will hold a constitu-
tional election at an early date.
That it come to an agreement WITH
the United States in regard to the
Chamizal boundary dispute occasioned
by the shifting Of the course of the
Rio Grande at Ell Paso, Tex
That it come to an agreement with
the United States regarding control
of the Colorado river, whose shifting
course has endangered Americans IN
the Imperial valley Of California.
That the perpetrators Of the Alamo
murders be punished.
That all legitimate foreign obliga-
tons be discharged.
That authority be granted the Unit
ed States to enter northern Mexico
and suppress disorders above the
twenty-siXth parallel.
The ambassador does not favor in
tervention, but feels it his duty to out
line certain considerations to be borne
carefully in mind against such a con-
tingency. First, he said that all Amer
leans should be called out of Mexico,
and then the United States should de-
clare in the most emphatic terms that
it was intervention only to restore or
der and had no intention of remaining
in Mexico or acquiring territory.

TOBACCO CROP LOOKS FINE
Wisconsin Growers Encouraged by
Heavy Rains and Warm Weather
Yield viii be Heavy

Madison.-The tobacco crop in
Wisconsin presents an encouraging
outlook and the plants show remark
able growth as a result of the heavy
rains and warm weather, according to
James Johnson of the Horticultural
department of the College of Agri-
culture of the University of Wiscon-
sin, who has recently made a survey
of conditions in all parts of the state.
The northern sections present as
favorable indications for a good crop
as do the southern sections, and Mr..
Johnson believes the present year will
be among the best that Wisconsin to-
bacco growers have experienced for
many years.

DECLARES BANKS HAVE
FORCED DOWN u. S. BONDS
Secretary of the Treasury Sees Plan
to Arouse Fear Of New Currency
Measure.

Washington, July 30.-Sensational
charges were made by Secretary of
the Treasury McAdoo in connection
with the depreciation of the market
quotations on two per cent. United
States bonds to 951a. Secretary Nc
Adoo charges that "a number of inffu
entail New York city banks" have
forced down the price of the bonds
ito cause apprehension and uneasi-
ness about these bonds in order to
help them in their efforts to defeat
the currency bill
Secretary McAdoo announced it was
not his intention to require the banks
to charge off the present depreciation
below par, but that the banks might
continue to put in the bonds at par in
their statements to the controller Of
the currency, at least until some ma
terial change in conditions should
compel the adoption of another
course"
In his statement Secretary McAdoo
declared the 2 per cents. were worth
Notwithstanding their decline in
the New York market, and continued:
THE idea seems to be that the
country banks, which hold about two
thirds of the 2 per cent. bonds, and
use them as the basis for their circu-
lating notes may be induced to unite
with the New York city banks in OPP
position to the bill if they can be
made to believe that the proposed cur
rency measure is going to injure these
bonds and cause losses to the banks.
This is of course unfounded.
Meantime, it is folly for any bank
to sell government Is at a sacrifice be-
cause of any apprehended legislation
adverse to government bonds, as no
such legislation will result In the ia
years of it's existence, the government
has kept faith scrupulously with it's
creditors, and it is not going to
change it's honorab BILE character now.
If TIE necessities of any bank oblige
it to sell bonds at depressed prices.
that, of course, is another matter-a
matter solely for the bank to deter
mine"

the progeny Of unrelated fowls is
thrifty and high in utility, points
which every breeder strives for.
The greatest handicap in mating
unrelated birds is to find strains with
like characteristics. When rearing
a strain of Rocks for egg production
it is sometimes hard to find suit
able male, bred for the same results
as the hens he is to be mated with.
Many breeders have distinct lines of
birds, bred for the same results, but
wholly disconnected along blood
lines In this way they can furnish
their patrons new blood whenever
desired.
Many a good strain is run down or
ruined because Of lack Of experience
of the breeder One must know how
and why the breed to obtain best
