ARIZONA SHARES
 WITH COUNTRY IN
 NECLECT|MG LAND
Only One Fer Cent of Her Total Tillable Area Was in Crops in 1909.

WASIIlNTON. Jan. t6.-Only 27 per cent Of the tillab,e land of the United States Is actually under culti. vation, according to estimates of the upon reportsoseosseh gsinaaen nro2d Department of Agriculture, based up- on reports of 5000 correspondents These reports were obtained in or der to gain information as to the tlll- able area of the United States. the amount of land that cannot be used for crops that have to be plcyed, but availabe for pasture or fruits, and the tota, number of acres that never can be used for agricultural purposes. From the returns, which were gem orally very consistent, preliminary es- inmates have been made for each state and for the United States. Fun ther investigation in the far west ern states may modify somewhat the present estimate for those states.
 The total land area Of Arizona is 75.000. 1000 acres. Of this, g per cent is potentially available for tiled crops and 36 per cent for non.tilled agriculture, while Al per cent Is non agricultural. Only one per cent of the total til.able area was in crops Tn 1909 when the last census was taken.
 The entire United States, exclud- ing foreign possessions, 0ontains about 300 100000 acres. of this area about SO per cent or 1,150,000, ,OV0 acres is estimated to be tillable, that is. capable of being brought under cultivation by means of the blow This includes land already under cul- tivation and that which in the future may be brought under cultivation 5y clearing.
 S51, ,OO0.O00 acres CT 19 per cent are estimated to be non-tiilable but valuable for pasture or fruits. Only 21 per cent, or 3se.0OO,O0 acres, was estimated to be of no use for agri- culture present or future.
 According to the census of 1909. the land area in crops where acreage was given was 31L0O0,O00 acres. This Is about 16 per cent cf the total land area of the United States, excnding foreign possessions.
 In other words, for every 100 acres that are now titled, about 375 acres may be titled when the country is fully developed. In the development of the agriculture of the country the land which was most easily brought great Mississippi valley, was the first into a state of cultivation, as the to be brought into such use. Exten- sion of titled area will be at greater expense for clearing. draining. irriga' tion, etc. The increased production of the future will be the result oi increased yields per acre as well as extension of area.

FIELDER FORCES IN CONTROL

TRENTON, \. J. Jan. 16.-The New Jersey legis ature met and or ganized today for the 1914 session. Both branches are in control of the supporters i-f the Fielder administra- ton. which Is prepared to support the Wilson policies in New Jersey, after a victory over the Nugent anti Wilson element.
 The session promises to be busy one. There is just possibility that the lawmakers will undertake to amend the corporation laws known as the seven sisters" and passed un- der pressure exercised by President Wilacn whsn Governor. If any changes are made. however, they will be Of a comparatively unimportant character.
 Other matters that will probably be brought before the legislature for con sideration and action are jury reform changes in the system of taxation the conservation pf natural resources, and measures to give the municipality of the State more freedom from leg islative control
 The woman suffrage constitutional amendment which passed last year and over which there is doubt be- cause 1t is contended 1t was not prop erly advertised wiz probably be lg- nored at the present sesshcn. Instead, tte Democratic majority is expected to pass the suffrage resolution as if for the first time. which will put the whole proposition off. so far as the final election Is concerned, until 1918.

ANTITRUST PLANS.

All Democrats in Congress agreed as to how the work of framing antitrust legislation supplement the sherman law shall proceed and there prospects of notable discussion of the subject both Houses of Congress There informal conferences be tween individual members of the House Committee on the Judiciary of the Democratic senator's who indicated that they averse to hastening the anti trust legislative program.
 These senators told the House members that they be iieved so great question should be handled slowly and that while the party platform pledges regarding erlocking directorates and other matters should carried out the legislation should be framed with the utmost to avoid injustice and injurious results.
 Some of the rank and file of the House membership contend however that there is great demand for i'm mediate antitrust legislation that bills should be enacted into law as quickly as possible Representa- tive Henry of Texas chairman of Rules Committee. wh. has been active in conferences trust matters. pressed satisfaction with the program of the Judiciary Committee majority.
 Representatirs Webb of North Carolina. a member of the Judiciary Committee will introduce separate bill designed generally strengthen Sherman along number of lines. while Representative Carlin of vir. gnia. chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on
 
 locking directorates trade relations prices njuncons damages and allied matters. These measures may be changed materially after they have submitted to the full Democratic membership of the Judiciary Com. mttee and to the president.
 The tentative bs with the possible exception of Representative McCoys draft of inhibition inter. locking drectoratos in banks companies will be taken up in conference with President Wilson. Whether there will be separate bill defining monop- oiies and the existence of socaed "debatabe ground" in the enforcement of the sherman law. rests with the President
 Tn every case President Wilson's ideas of providing penalties for individuals well for corporations of violations has been followed. It was decided that it would be better to draft a number of bills in stead of incorporating all the antitrust propositions in omnibus supplementary the sherman act An attempt define combinations conspiracies fin restraint of trade far possible has been made in the bills already prepared.
 The bin to inhbit nterlockng drectorates is regard ed by the committee members the important o the three It deals not only with banks and trust com panies but applies to every industrial corporation gagged in interstate trade.

Leroy Holt Is Added to

At "a meeting of the Irrigation Dis
trict directors this afternoon Leroy
Holt was selected as third member
of the delegation to go to Washing
ton to attend the conference called by
Secretary Lane Of the Interior De-
rartment relative to the control of the
Colorado river.
1t was learned today that certain
Los Angeles parties, without consult
ing with the valley interests, have
wired Secretary Lane asking him to
postpone the hearing for a week, and
fear is felt that the Los Angeles men
who are manifesting great interest in
the valley are not disposed to thor
oughly cooperate with the valley, but
are inclined to favor other interests
than those of the farmers.

Gistrict-President Hamilton, Attor-
ney Conkling and Mr.. Holt--will leave

Germans RedOuble Effort.

Paris, Dec. 3.-Yesterday witnessed
fighting on practically all parts of
the 260- mile battle line from the North
sea to Alsace, with the greatest ac
tivity near the opposite ends of the
line. In Alsace the French troops cap
tured the village of Aspach, southeast
of Thanh. The Germans in the Ar
gonne, however, blew up with mine
part of the outer Notifications of the
wood of La Grubie. In spite of these
local successes and reverses at this
end of the line, the titanic conflict
in Flanders continues to be the real
storm center.
The Germans, still clinging tena-
ciously to the hope of forcing a way
through to Dunkirk and Calais, APP
pear to have redoubled their efforts
land the days developments included
a violent bombardment of Lamper-
nisse, which is about five miles west
Of Dixmude and almost on a line
between that town and Dunkirk.
While the official reports from the
war office are confined to details of
actual engagements, it is known un-
officially that 100000 German troops
are now massed between Ostend and
Ypres and that 100000 of them are
fresh regiments brought up as rein
iforcements within the last few days.
The day saw no cessation of the
furious struggle between Lens and
Bethune, where the opposing armies
are almost at hand grips. How close
ly the fighting here resembles the
former front -to-front engagements of
the User can be seen from the after
noon official report, which says:
"At Vermelles (between Lens ana
Bethune) the chateau and the park
surrounding it, two houses in the vii
lage and some trenches were bril-
liantly occupied by our troops
The opposing armies are repeating
here the tactics which have resulte |
in such enormous loss of life, with
so little comparative influence on the
general result. Apparently the house
toulouse fighting which marked the
battlefields in the vicinity of Rheims
will be re-enacted in this new "battle
of the coal fields"
West of Duxmude the fighting is of
q different character The violent
bombardment of Lampernisse was al
such long range that the allies con-
cluded that the Germans had again
uplimbercd their heaviest artillery. Il
is believed the reinforced army will try
to batter it's way through to Dunkirk
with artillery alone, supported, OF
course, by infantry and cavalry to COW
er the advance of the guns from po-
sition to position.
Following out this belief, the allies
have brought into position many Of
