REBELS IN ToRREON
FORCE FROM EAST FIGHTS WAY
TO CENTER OF CITY.
General Villas Forces Capture Gomez
Palacio on Third Assault
-FsderaIs Retreat.

Chihuahua, March 31.-Such news
as arrived from the front at Torreon
Sunday was unfavorable to the reb-
els. Local rebel officers admitted they
had received dispatches from the
front, but declined to reveal the con-
tents.
A report originated at one OF the
hospitals after more wounded arrived
in Chihuahua that General Villa had
been wounded slightly and forced to
retire from the field
Juarez, March 30.-General Villa
said, in telegram received here, that
virtually all Torreon, including the
entire business section, was in the
hands of his soldiers.
Gen. Monclove Herrera, his own
rebel brigade and part of the Zaragosa
brigade, all veterans, were reported
by Villa to have entered Torreon from
the east, 1000 strong, and to have
fought from house to house and street
to street until the bull ring ON the
northern fringe of the town was taken
with the section Of the city through
which the railroad passes. This in
cluded the business section or most
of it.
Gomez Palacio, Mex, March 3d.
Four days of fighting, including three
desperate assaults by the rebels, en-
abled Gen. Francisco Villa to move
into this place and establish headquar-
tiers within three miles of Torreon.
The deciding assault was preceded by
a bonlbardment after which the infan-
try and cavalry dashed into the streets
of Gomez Palacio. Rifles, machettes,
pistols and hand grenades were used
in hundred different encounters in
the narrow thoroughfares. The gren-
AIDES, of home manufacture, were light
ed with cigarettes, which are an unof-
fetal part of the equipment of every
Mexican soldier.

Demand for Binder Irvine.

Madison.-"We are behind the or
ders for binder Irvine manufactured at
the state prison" said Warden Daniel
Woodward, who was in Madison at
tending the meeting of the state board
of control ITO date we have manu-
featured 100000 pounds of Irvine ano
it is all sold and orders are still com
ing" President Ralph Smith of the
state board of control said it might
be necessary to pay the prisoners for
overtime work and have them work
at night, so all orders received could
be cared for. This is the second year
that twine has been made at the
prison. The mill is now turning out
about 100000 pounds of binder Irvine
per week." continued Warden Wood
ward. About 80 men are employed
in the mill. A system of payment to
the inmates for the work they actually
do is a great incentive for quick and
intelligent action"

STATE LEADS IN
PEA PRODUCTION
21,s45 ACRES OF THIS CROP Is
RAISED IN DOOR COUNTY.
CLIMATE AND SOIL IDEAL
List of the Ten Leading Countles-Ac,
cording to Census of 1910, Michl-
gan Was Slightly Ahead of
Wisconsin in 1909.

Madison.-Wisconsin ranks first in
the production of canning of dry peas.
In 1909, according to the census of
1910, Michigan was slightly ahead of
Wisconsin in point of acreage. The
production of dry peas has decreased
in the eastern states during the first
decade of the present century. Maine
produced nearly $4,000 bushels in 1899
and produced less than 5000 bushels
in 1909, In New York the production
fell from 251, $50 bushels in 1899 to
n, 486 bushels in 1909, or less than
one-third of the production in 1899.
The province of Ontario in Canada is
heavy producer of peas, the bulk of
the crop, which amounts to about 49,
100000 bushels yearly, being used prin-
cipally for stock feed. Peas are mostly
grown in localities which possess a
cool climate. The pea plant likes cool
weather; it may also take the place of
corn where this crop does not do well
because the summers are not warm
enough. In Wisconsin the distribution
is about on the same principles, for
the counties which produce the largest
amounts also have a cool summer cli-
mate. Door county, for instance, pro-
duces nearly one-third of the dry pea
crop, while Manitowoc and Kewaunee
are also heavy producers. These three
counties have long growing season
with cool summers. Soil, too, has a
great influence on the distribution Of
the crop. All the important pea-pro-
ducing counties in Wisconsin possess
heavy soil for the most part. The
ten leading pea-producing counties in
Wisconsin in 1909 are:

WiIey,s Baby Speaks Latin,

Madison-Dr. W. H. Wiley, famous
pure food advocate, who is here this
week, says his twenty three-montIs
old boy speaks Latin as well as Eng
lish. "The proper training for infants
and young children" he said, consists
in pure food and good language. His
greatest delight-from the standpoint
of his father--is when he goes walking
with his father and receives his daily
lesson in Latin, which he much en-
joys. Harvey W. Wiley II has never
had any meat or poultry. He has
never had any candy, sugar, ice cream,
sweet cookies or other foods of that
kind. l need not add that he had never
had any tea, coffee, chocolate, beer,
wine or whisky. He is perfectly de-
veloped boy, enjoys life immensely
and calls his meals by the uniform
name of dinner"

STATE employees LET OUT
Appropriation for the Railroad Com
mission Made by the 1918 Legisla-
ture Is Not Sufficient to
Garry on Work.

Madison.-A large number of extra
employees and two regulars in the office
of the railroad commission have been
''let out" temporarily, due to the fact
that the appropriation made for the
department by the 1913 legislature is
not sufficient to carry on the work as
it should be carried on. The appropri-
alton is S183,000. 1t is explained by
Chairman Roemer of the commission
that it has become necessary to put a
large part of the force of the commits
sion upon work in the engineering de-
partment and that, inasmuch as the
extra" help could not be employed in
this work, the present action was fol
lowed.

CORN CAN BE GROWN
ON CANADIAN PRAIRIES

Manitoba is now commencing to
produce considerable corn, chiefly for
feeding purposes. In some cases,
where the crop can be matpred into
the dough stage, silos could be used
and would be profitable investment.
According to the Farm and Ranch Re-
view, correspondent visited a field
of corn in southern Manitoba on Sep
TENDER rs. The corn then was I'M
touched by frost and 1t stood on an
average eight and nine feet in height.
The corn had developed into the
dough stage, and the crop would easily
exceed 20 tons to the acre. AT many
experimental farms. the same favor
able showing of the corn crop has
manifested itself. AT the Brandon ex-
perimental farm this year several va
rieties, all very good yielders, matured
into good silo corn.
Considering the success with which
corn can be produced, and the advan-
tages to be gained by so producing it,
should not it receive the serious at
tention of the western agriculturist?
Corn is successfully grown in the
northern part of Minnesota in SINH
lar soil and under the same climatic
condition, and there does not appear
to be any reason why like results
should not be secured in western Can
ada. 1t is the opinion of many Ameri-
can farmers of experience that the
9orn belt is extending northward. The
prairie provinces must gradually take
up with mixed farming. More stock
| on the farms must be raised. and in
consequence farming must to some
extent be diverted from grain growing
to other necessary crops. If crops
suitable for wintering cattle and espe-
cially dairy stock are to be grown,
why should not corn be one of these
crops? In Ontario and in the United
States we find it forms the main bulky
food for winteripg beef and dairy cat
tie. They would not be without this
profitable plant. In fact, since its In
| PRODUCTION almost twice as much stock
| can be retained on the same amount
Of land, besides considering its great
value for keeping the land clean,
Some may say that many crops that
can be grown In Ontario and the
States cannot be grown here, but not
80 with corn. even now we find scat
tered fields of corn in Alberta and
Saskatchewan.-Advertisement.
