Apparently with the intention of

But young Bellinger had better idea.
He spun his wheel or pulled lever

Huerta Gaining Time.

This proclamation, signed by VIC
toriano Huerta and distributed quletiy
among the rank and file Of the army
expressed the dictator's own personal
feelings and convictions, irrespective
OF what he might say or promise to tne
outside world. The popular belief Is
that Huerta's only object in entering
into the mediation project was to gain
time TO fortify the abyssmal gorges,
towering cliffs. narrow passes and OBJ
scure trails which lead from Vera Cruz

The A Il c mediation project is looked
upon by Americans in Mexico in a
puzzled way. No one familiar in any
way with the situation at Vera Cruz.
or with the broader and more serious
situation which confronts the United
States throughout Mexico. has any
idea that the mediators now meeting
at Niagara Falls will accomplish any
thing. Huerta has announced openly
that he will accept no mediation plans
which involve his resignation, yet the
basic demand Of the United States is
that the dictator quit.

Constitutionalists Eager to
Break the Strength of
Huerta Forever.
JUNE 20 is DATE SET
FOR CARRANZA ATTACK
Representative Here Sums Up
Fighting Power and Mode of
Storming Stronghold.

That the peace mediators will disagree
by June 20 was the report that buzzed
about in army circles yesterday.
BY a peculiar coincidence representa-
tives of the Constitutionalists who have
established quarters in the city yesterday
named the same date for the outbreak OF
new hostilIties.
Army officers said June 20 would be IAN
other boiling point: Carranza's emissary
only not so politely.
The army believes that as long as me-
dlation is In progress the Mexican arms
tice will not be broken. SO far army OIL
GERS are disposed to favor Villas methods
OF conducting his campaign. They pointed
out that his soldiers seemed under control
in that they did rot loot Torreon, Saltillc
or Tampico. The report that villa had
executed thirty Federal officers, they said
was without confirmation. but II true
might develop into an excusable act OF
war.
IL any confirmation was needed. how
ever, IL came later in the day, when a
Tribune reporter talked with Francisco
Urquidi, Consul General to New York
for the Constituencies. Urquidi ad-
mitted the execution and attempted 10
justify it by parallels in United States
history.
United States Troops May Aid Villa.
Another statement by army men that
sounded far-fetched until a chance re-
mark of Urquidi matched it up and
showed how peculiarly in touch with the
situation the army Is came when an Off
Ger high in authority said the United
States troops might aid Villa in taking
Mexico City.
Either this aid to Villa would be or
dered. said the army men, or the United
States would fight villa and Huerta as a
common enemy. with the idea Of eliminat-
ing Huerta uppermost
Since mediation spoiled the army plans
for invading Mexico. new plans have been
drawn up. 1t was learned that the army
intends to establish a base inland 80
miles. probably at Orizaba, which is on
a plateau and would take the troops away
from the unhealthy lowlands of Vera
Cruz.

Profit and Loss in War.


Ifa general wal should break out, the
loss of labor employed in useful com
merce and industries would be great. 1t
is estimated that million of able-bodied
men would go home to Europe to fight
under their various flags. The labor
drain might pinch certain industries per-
cepiibly.
But the loss that might be felt IN this
way would be more than compensated in
other directions. The demand for Amer.
ican food products and other supplies
would be greatly increased. America
would send grain and all other food
stuffs, horses for the cavalry mounts pc.
troleum for the great number of motor
vehicles now employed in war. gun
powder and other munitions; while the
necessity for reconstructing railways and
bridges would cause great demand for
our iron, steel and lumber.
Everything is used up in war-vehi-
cles, animals. chemicals. coal. lumber,
cotton cloths, leather and many other
articles which we export TO Europe At
the same time, the paralysis OF the pro-
ductive industries Of several great Euro
pean countries would make US the lead
ing source of supply for the Asiatic, AZ
rican and South American countries with
which we now have comparatively little
trade. Our commerce would doubtless
be permanently simulated with many of
these countries through the opportunity

Give Your Alfalfa Land
Thorough Preparation
Should Be Well Worked Before Seed.
ine-Direetions For Soil In
ocuIation.
NICHOLAS SCHMITZ.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

Alfalfa requires more than any other
farm crop. a thoroughly prepared seed
bed for successful termination and
early growth. Sowing alfalfa upon
loose, freshly plowed land will, even
under the most ideal weather condi'
tions, result in little beyond dismal
failure.
An ideal seed bed is one obtained by
plowing the land in the fall, then in
early spring narrowing it until the SUR
face is smooth and thoroughly pulyer-
lied to a depth of about 2 inches.
Hence, where alfalfa follows small
grain, or clover or timothy sod. the
land should be plowed as soon as pos
sible after the crop has been removed.
thus allowing plenty of time for at
least one or two good soaking rains to
settle the soil well before seeding
time. It must be remembered that
frequent surface workings between the
time of plowing and seeding are abso'
lutely necessary to conserve moisture,
kill weeds, and properly pulverize the
surface.
Unless the land has grown alfalfa or
sweet clover successfully within the
past five years, 1t will be necessary to
inoculate. The most efficient method
of incubation is to broadcast over the
field from 200 to 500 or more pounds
of soil taken from a successful alfalfa
field or from where sweet clover Is
growing.
The soil for this purpose should be
taken spade deep and applied before
sowing the seed. Usually it is better
to do this just before sowing, but good
results may be expected if applied a
week or two before seeding. At all
times the soil should be narrowed in
Immediately after applying to prevent
the injurious effects of sunlight a
few hours exposure may kill all the
inoculating bacteria.
The manner Of applying the soil de-
pends largely upon the convenience
with which it can be secured. When
near at hand, in unlimited quantities
the easiest way of applying is With
the manure spreader or from the DacB
of a wagon with shovels. When the
quantity is limited then scattering by
hand, the same as sowing seed, is the
most economical as well as the most
effective way of applying.
There is nothing equal to stable
manure for fertilizing alfalfa. When
ever possible the land should be well
covered with manure before plowing
The danger Of weeds in most manure
makes applying it on top of the land
after plowing, and working 1t in un.
desirable. When manure is not avail
able there should be applied, at the
time of seeding, 300 to 500 pounds OF
acid rock and so to IS pounds OF
muriate of potash per acre; depending.
of course, upon the fertility.
