south of Juarez, the general belief
here today was that the expected
battle between them could not long

Salrez of the federals have evidently
been manouvering to draw Villa out

battle ground would be favorable to

General Villas troops are about
twenty five miles below Juarez near
Tirra Blanca. Villa himself has been
moving back and forth between this
camp and Juarez since Saturday.
Early today he left for the scene on
a special gain, announcing that on
his arrival he would crd2r his troops
to advance If the federals do not
give battle, he said, he will pursue
them as far south as Chihuahua City
if necessary. It is not seriously

carry out this purpose as he fears il

They are grown in more or less large

many of the plants. and continued
damp or foggy weather is injurious.

readily adapts itself to very different
conditions of rainfall, but when the
harvest months-August and Septem-
Der are accompanied by much rain
fall the crop frequently suffers heavy
damage from lice and mold.
The selection of the best soil on
which to grow the hop plant involves
