LESSON OF BARLEY CROP
is 4 REPETITION OF OLD

! Lying back Of this partial loss OF
crop is the disposition Of some of the
farmers to avoid work until the cool
weather has fully arrived, they TAX
ing vacations that run SO late into the
fall that they do not have time to get
their crops into the ground as early as
1hey realize they should.
This is one of the reasons why all
hands should lend their energy to the
campaign for an active summer, i'm
plying among other things the grow
ing of large acreage of corn to meet
the shortage in barley, and also pre-
pare early in the fall for the next
crop of barley, to get it too far ad-
vanced for the aphis when It makes
its appearance next spring.
Imperial Valley press., 1913-04-26

Reports coming in from every part
of the valley show that the loss Of late
barley from aphis is very general,
while the early crop in adjoining
fields is in splendid condition. This rs
repetition Of the experience of the
valley from the earliest days. to the
effect that the best success always
nm with the early grain crop.
Year after year there has been both
early and late sowing, and each year
the men who have got in early crops
have made money and those who put
in & late crop either made little money
or none.
The aphis Is only one of the causes
of this, for the climatic conditions also
favor the early sown grain.

KANSAS is DRY


Topeka, Kan, Aug. 1.-The
month of July, 1913, was the
second dryest month Kansas
has had since official government
weather records have been kept.
1t is almost thirty years since
there has been so little rainfall
in the state as there has been in
the last 80 days. There have
been hotter months than this
year, but not since 1887 has it
been as dry.
In some parts of the state even
this record has been broken.
According to the unofficial rec
ords kept by an old settler at
Manhattan, the month ending
today has been the driest since
the grasshopper year of 1874 and
is the second driest July in Sc
years that this man has kept tab
on the rainfall, the grasshopper
year being the only one as low
in rainfall as 1913.
The government weather SER
vice was established IN Kansas
in 1896 and the second year the
total rainfall for the month OF
July was LOO inches in thirty
one days. In July, 1913, the
total rainfall has been l.57 inches
scattered oyer four different
showers.
Southeast Kansas is the only
part of the state that has had
real rains and is not suffering.
Fort Scott, Pittsburg, Sedan,
lola and similar points. in that
part of the state have had more
than three inches of rain in the
month. Minneapolis, which has
had local rain of nearly two in
ches early in the month, is the
only point in central Kansas that
has had reasonable rains IN July,
and only small amount of ter
ritory was covered at that time.
July 1901, was the hottest
month Kansas ever had. For
twenty-six days in that month
the thermometer registered 100
degrees or higher, the longest
period of hot weather the state
has ever known. But that month
was not deficient in rainfall, more
than four inches of rain falling
generally over the state in that
month.
Kansas streams that have new
er- been known to go dry are dry
now. More than thirty Kansas
towns have been compelled to
shut off all water for lawns and
a dozen towns have hardly enough
water for domestic supplies.
Tuesday night sixteen tank cars
loaded with water were hauled
from Topeka to Horton. The
Kaw river is the lowest ever
known, standing at 3.3 feet. In
many parts of the state water is
being hauled for domestic pur-
poses, and generally in central
Kansas water has to be hauled
for stock.

Washington, D. C.-Certain
interests seem determined to
kick the country into a war with
Mexico. lam not afraid of Will
son stampeding as Mckinley
did under the spur OF the "Yel-
low Journal" campaign which
preceded the Spanish-American
war, but it is just as we'll that
we sit down and calmly consid-
er the cost of a conflict with our
peppery neighbors to the south
of us,
know that the average jing0
does not consider it "good form"
to stop to count the cost of war.
He would have us fight while our
blood is up and permit posterity
to do the counting; but the jim
goes seldom do any of the real
fighting. They confine them-
selves to the talking end of the,
game. Like Artemus Ware;
they are willing to sacrifice all
their wives relatives, but they
are mighty careful of their own
precious hides.
Now, what is the situation in
Mexico. Huerta, a red-handed
assassin, is maintaining pre-
carious hold on the central gov
ernment. The surviving follow
ers OF Madero seem to have him
in tight place, and according
to the most reliable information
obtainable in Washington, they
will be IN position in the near
future to stand him up against
stone wall and shoot him. That
lis exactly the treatment he is
entitled to and the entire civiliz-
ed world should rejoice if he re-
ceived his just deserts.
1t is pretty we'll established
that he was bribed to betray his
chief. The interests which had
become intrenched in the south
ern republic during the regime
of Porfiro Diaz hated Madero.
He was dreamer, an idealist---
a patriot. He wanted his people
to have larger measure of lib
erty. He wanted Mexico for
the Mexicans and not for q band
of exploiting adventurers. In
word, he was leader in the cen.
turies-old and worldwide battle
against special privilege. And
special privilege fought him as
special privilege always fights-.-
doing whatever was necessary
to attain its end.
In this case it was necessary
to bribe the commander of his
army and to permit that COM
mander to kill him while he slept
and to seize the exalted position
which the murdered man had
filled with such honor, and abili-
ty and self-abnegation. For a
time it seemed that Huerta's
bloody coup had rendered him
supreme and that Madero's
frIends--scattered and crushed.
could not make Roadway against
him. There was no talk then of
intervention The men who are
now clamoring for the soldiers
to cross the Rio Grande did not
suggest that Uncle Sam and the
other world powers should send
a column of troops to the City of
Mexico for the purpose of hang
ing the assassIns as high as HUI
man. On the contrary, they
clamored for recognition of a
government founded on murder.
1t was not until the Maderists
had reorganized their shattered
forces and had decisivly defeated
