TO DlGNIFY AGRICULTURE is
GREAT NEED, SAYS SPEAKER

Bookings. s. D., June 12.-"1n the
future, American farmers must learn
to dignity agriculture and to make
literal love Of country or native
land,'" asserted DR.. John C. Written.
head Of the department of agriculture
in the University Of Missouri, In the
annual commencement address before
State college graduates and Students.
Farm property must be improved, not
only for it's productive value but also
to Increase it's beauty, to foster it's
traditions, to add to it's aesthetic
value.
While agriculture is the oldest of
occupations and in human interest. it
is the last to have received direct
educational stimulus. The progress
which has been made in the last Is
years in agricultural teaching and re-
search has been enormous-but it has
been directed mainly toward better
production, in conserving the soil fer
tility and raising better crops and
herds. The greatest good which is to
come out Of this progress is an added
dignity to the profession of agricul-
ture. 1t gives more pride in the own
ership Of farm land. 1t puts the farm
er in o v with the land, its natural re-
sources, n the things with which
Zoo has surrounded him"

CARRANzA FORCES
NEARING CAPITAL
Mexican Military Situation Now
Fraught With Possibilities
That May Bring an
Early Peace.

washington, Jule 15.--Atten.ion of
Washington officials was focused again
today on the military situation in
Mexico. where there was a possibility
of important developments which
might bring ultimate peace in the
southern republic. Chief interest cen
tiers In the outcome of the prospective
battle between Carranza troops and
Villa forces for the possession of
Mexico City, now in the hands Of Villa
men.
Advices received here from Carranza
sources at Vera Cruz said tha Gen.
Pablo Gonzales, a Carranza COM
mander. who is now moving toward
Mexico City, had been approached by
members Of the convention party,
from the Mexican capitaE with an of
Ter Of an armistice. His answer is
said to have been that the forces in
Mexico City had better join the Car
rama forces or ~evacuate the city with
out shedding blood. According to the
same information, Gonzales gave the
delegates 48 hours to return and pre-
sent his position to the convention.
Developments in the military situa-
ton at Mexico City are awaited with
considerable interest here because of
the likelihood Of their Influence on the
political side Of Mexico's problem.
General Carranza a already put in a
bid for recognition, basing it on a
claim that he controls a large terri
tory and has Instituted civil admins
1tration there. Although making no re-
guest for recognition, General Villa has.
replied faVorably to President Will
sons recent suggestion thai the fac
tons in Mexico unite for peace.
According to official reports of the
state department, h sweeping claims
OF victory made by General C-arranza.
are reruted and General Villa still is
pressing the Carranza forces hard
south Of Leon. The most severe loss
sustained by Genera Carranza was the
Wounding of General Obregon. whose
left arm was shot away. Rumors were
current in Mexican quarters that OBJ
regon had succumbed to his wound,
but this was not confirmed.
Gen. Benjamin Hill, who was in
command OF the Carranza forces at
Naco last year. a Mexican of foreign
descent, now is in charge Of the Car
rama military operations against
Generals Villa and Angeles In central
Mexico.
