 The independents urged the legis- lation on the ground that coupons are destroying their business without benefitting the consumer, while the coupon advocates said that they stimulated the tobacco business and | increased the government revenues.

Additional Forces Are Or dered Out Following Ap- peal from Texas Senator and Congressman for More Protection
FEARING RAID

Force Will Now Outnum- Der by Three Thousand That Which General Shaf- ter Led into the Cuban Campaign
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcHl

WASHINGTON, March 1.-Two additional regiments of American in fantry will be dispatched to Eagle fears of raids by Mexicans. This, with the appearance here of General Felix Diaz and his friends. with a new plan to solve the Mexican prob lem, were the chief developments to- day in the Mexican situation. The troops were ordered at the re- quest of Senator Sheppard and Rep resentative Garner The latter told the president there was much cash in the border banks, and the Amerl- cans wanted to be protected against raids resulting from sudden develop ments.
 Diaz and his friends declared they were not seeking the support of any revolutionary movement, and their l idea was a campaign of information, 1 to acquaint Washington with the personality of Diaz, so his part in subsequent events may be judged rightly. It is learned they are seek | ing the elimination of Huerta and are not allied with the constitution alists
 The military orders will result in tthe assembling of 1S.000 men in Tex as Some will be drawn from the garrison at Nogales, Douglas and Fl Paso The force will be 5000 great CT than that General Shafter led into Cuba.

 Additional acreage to the extent of 30,0OO or 10000 acres can be included in the future by developing further water supply through pumps and through the construction of a reservoir on the Rio Verde, both of which are recommended as advisable so far as investigation may prove them feasible

have the preference.'

The Board of Survey representing the Water Users Association and the Rec lamation Service find that 1O7.431 acres of land are cultivated within the reservoir district, on the north side, and 6S,906 acres are cultivated on the south side making a total area of cul- tivated land 176.337 acres, exclusive of townsites. In addition to this, town sites include S336 acres. making a grand total of 1S4,673 acres. It is found, however, that townsites require less water per acre than farm lands, ow- ing to the area occupied by streets and buildings and it may be assumed that the cultivated acreage is equivalent to about 18O,000 acres of farm land Of this area, about 10000 acres are school lands, which under the present law cannot obtain a water right from the Reclamation Service. and until legisla- lion, either national or state, is pro- vided. this area can not secure any rights in the reservoir. This reduces the eligible area of cultivated land to about 170,000 acres, which is exactly the acreage determined by the Board of Survey to be capable of adequate irrigation from the water supply as now developed.
 It is proposed, therefore, to allot reservoir rights to all of the lands within the limits indicated on the mar accompanying the report of the Board of Survey which shall be determined by that board to be irrigable and read fly accessible and which have been cul. tivated within the last three years. | is understood that the Board of Sur vey shall at any time in the futur, have the power to exclude lands deem ed nOn-irrigable, either from the pres. ence of alkali or other reasons. and. tha defective lands or land not economical ly accessible should be rightly excluded
 If legislation shall be obtained b, which reservoir rights can be allotted to school lands, it is expected that ad ditional water supply for these land will be provided by the association b, means of additional wells or otherwise

Bottom of Berry Boxes to Drop Q
Notch This Year.

When you buy your first box OF
'home grown" strawberries this year,
carefully lift up the box and look at
the bottom There's a pleasant sur
prise in store for you.
So far as top and side view is con-
cerned, the packages will look as
they have ever since you have been
buying strawberries. But the bot
tom will have an unfamiliar aspect.
You probably will wonder for time
what is the matter with it, and then
you will suddenly discover that the
floor is lower than is used to be and
that the space probably half an inch
deep which heretofore has been only
air, now is berries, edible and VEN
dible.
w. B. Barney, state dairy and food
commissioner, is responsible for the
frightening of the inside of the ber-
ry boxes, though the initial impulse
was given by the legislature. That
august body legislated to the effect
that a pint of berries must be a pint
of berries, not three-quarters of a
pint Of fruit plus quarter of pint
of wind.
The new law was in effect last year
the food department which has in
charge the enforcement of the meas
ure, to use up their old high-bottom-
ed boxes last year. This year they
will not go, and as result, where
heretofore your wife has been able
to extract three anaemic looking
dishes of fruit from a single box, she
can now fill the dishes up SO they
look like a bona fide part of meal.
Mr.. Barney isn't enforcing the new
law this year without considerable
friction; farmers of Iowa still desire
to use up the remainder of the old
fashioned berry box stock.
81 have received many requests
from all parts of the state that fruit
growers be allowed to use the old
boxes, all of which are considerably
short of the quart, pint and half
pint measure" said Mr.. Barney. ITO
all these requests have replied that
old boxes will not be tolerated in the
market. places this summer. Grow
ers have had year to prepare for the
new law, and that is enough

but the matter was finally patched
up and they took some pictures. 1t

but they were in a hurry to leave
