SEA MINES DANGEROUS

WASHINGTON, Aug 1.-The min ing of the North Sea as a part of the plan of the European war will not only close the most northern Euro peau ports to navigation but will eN- pose the gold laden Tennessee and North Carolina to new dangers. The government was informed today by the British embassy that inasmuch as Germany has been scattering mines indiscriminately" Great Britain will no longer refrain from planting mines near her own ports.
 Bryan said that the passenger steamers should take no chances and suggested that all Americans in Eur ope leave by way of the southern ports. The Hague convention stipu- lates that all belligerents' endeavor to render these mines harmless within a limited time, but it Is believed that in the present war no attention will be paid to that provision.
 Secretary of State Bryan trans mitted to Great Britain the formal rep resentations made by Germany on the subject of cable and wireless com municauon to and from neutral country. such as the United States and to belligerent countries. Germany sought permission to send code mes- sages through London to the United States
 As the American government acts as a channel of communication in diplomatic dealings between one belli- gerent with the other. the message was transmitted to the British foreign office without comment by Bryan. Should Great Britain continue to pre- vent Germany from sending cable messages through London to the U. s., it is believed Germany will make vigorous efforts to the the U. s. re- move its censorship on the German owned wireless stations That the state department is considering the re- lations between wireless and cable communications as affected by the neutral position of the United States in the present war is admitted by Secretary Bryan. The Hague conven- tion expressly states that it is not ob- hgatory upon a neutral power to ex- ercise censorship over either wireless or cable communications.
 Administration leaders concluded that additional revenue legislation to raise probably S1OOO00,OOO will be needed to fll the gap in the govern ment coffers caused by the loss of revenue on imports cut of by the Eur. opean war While no plans are deter mined it is expected the tax win be- a stamp on malt and spirituous liquors, or increased Import duty on coffee and leather
 Majority Leader of the House I'm. derwood will confer with Secretary McAdoo when the latter returns Tues. day In order to facilitate the nas. sage of such legislation the Hopse amended the rule giving fun right o. way to conservation measures so tbat the revenue legislation may eet erst consideration. Republicans have agreed not to use obstructive tactics

. Governor Maytorena, Of Sonora, . . and Colonel Gales is expected to . . follow a meeting of armed part . . ies today south of here. It is re- . q ported that Maytorena is sending . q troops toward the border . . . . . q H R . . q
 That open warfare has broken out between Governor Maytorena of Son. ora and Colnel P Elias Gales, com mander of the fixed garrisOns in the state. is the report current today in Nogales and Cananea. The report cannot be confirmed; neither is it de- nied.
 In connection with these reports of supposed military movements, the re- port is brought here by arrivals from Sonora that the report is current there that Villa will join with Maytorena in carving 8 new republic out of north Tern Mexico.
 It was reported yesterday afternoon at Nogales that a train load of troops left Hermosillo for Nogales and that the garrison at Nogales was preparing 10 resist the threatened attack. The wires between Hermosillo and NOgales have been cut The regular train from Nogales to Hermosillo that was to have left this morning was cancel. led. The Wells-Fargo Express Com pany is accepting express for Sonora points subject to delay
 At Cananea the opinion prevails that Colonel Gales has the better of the situation, and will be able to re- pulse any attack of the Maytorena . forces either at Cananea or Nogales Movements of both sides are as yet obscured in mystery, but all indica tions point to the conjecture that something is doing.
 Villas reported plan is to take Chihuahua. Sonora and Sinaloa unto himself and form a new republic to be l known as the "Republica del Norte.' 'It is said that he has had emissaries 1 busy in Sinaloa for several weeks past getting the sentimenet of the peOns on the subject It is said that he will move soon to Hermosillo and establish headquarters there. working in con junction with Maytorena.
 Maytorena with his Yaquis and villa with the real fighting army would un doubtedly be able to control the situa ton in northern Mexico. It was re ported several days ago that Governor Rivas of Sinaloa is in on the Maytor | ena-Villa frame-up.
 However Villa may enter into tho Sonora situation, there Is no question about the bitterness between Maytor ena and Gales, and a clash betweeI the two elements was to have been eX pected at any time As yet, though everything is rumor and authentic news of the late developments ar' awaited with interest

Germans rurn North

Ten thousand German cavalrymen. with gatling guns are operating be- tween Tongres and St Trond This seems to indicate change of the Ger man tactics. turning the movement to the north
 They are evidently proceeding toward Hesbaye Two hundred Ger man cavalry with quick firers have al- ready reached Hannut. seventeen miles northeast of Liege.
 The engagements have taken place principally between Tiriemont and st. Trond half way between Ezemael and Gussenhaven. There have been other engagements near Tongres.
 The German cavalry are reported everywhere with loss. These engage ments are regarded as a prelude to the German offensive movement 10 the north of Liege. lt is thought it may foreshadow a big battle inside two or three days.

The Feed Value of Rice
 Straw

It shas often been said that the Southern farmer wastes the profit from his farm and this IS, in a sense, fact. One evidence is the large quantity of valuable rice straw t h at is annually wasted in the State of Arkansas. Never in the history of the state has it been of such im- portance as at the present time that the farmer should have everything possible that can be utilized for feed, and since rice straw has a feed value equal to Prairie hay and in many in- stances superior, the rice farm CT should take h e uttermost care to stack we'll all of his straw. If he has not sufficient stock to eat it at home, he can sell it to his neighbor or ship it to markets. In past years there has been considerable rice straw burned. This is bad practice and should not be permitted by the land owners. Possibly 75 per cent of the fertilizer con- tained in the rice straw, if al- lowed to rot on the soil or fed to stock and and returned to the soil is lost by burning.
 The burning of wheat straw in the Central States was a prac- tice twenty-five years ago. but the farmers in those states have learned the lesson that the farm CTS of Arkansas are now com pelled to learn.

much more from going out of the state for packing house pro- ducts.
 When the truth of the above statements dawns fully upon the farmers of Arkansas it won't be long until the transformation is complete. The wise ones will accept it at once, from those by whom it has already been proven and look to this means to help solve their now embarrassing problems.

Using The Razor : Back Hog as a Substitute For
 Cotton
(By w. R. Wheelock, Arkansas
 Experiment Station.

Experiment Station.)
 Now that circumstances have convinced everyone of the need of growing more livestock on Arkansas farms the next ques- ton is where to get the breed ing stock with which to begin to produce the type of stock that the market demands. In the case of pork production which affords the opportunity for most immediate returns. the problem will be largely solved if the farmer will make intelligent use of what he already has. While a pure-bred herd would in many instances be desirable yet any farmer can make good money with common stock sows even razor-backs = if he will mate them to a good pure bred boar. The offspring from such breed- ing will in a large decree possess the type and quality of the boar, the chief requirements of the SOW being size. maturity, prolif- icacy and good mothering quali- ties. The more improved blood the SOW possesses the better the the offspring will be so long as the pure bred boar is used. It is only when a grade boar and a grade SOW are mated that the old native type in any large degree asserts itself and we get a cull lot.
 While it would be impossible in any reasonable time to stock the farms of the state with sows of good breeding, it would be a comparatively easy matter t 0 bring enough good boars into every county in the next few months so that if they were used exclusively for the next two or three years the old native type of hogs would almost dis appear. Although this might work a grievance on those who cherish a fondness for the type the fact remains that it would add hundreds of thousands of dollars to the annual state in- come from the pork growing industry and would keep as
