IMPROVING A FARM

Awakening to the possibilities
of their farms as never before,
Hampstead county farmers are
fastgetting their farms out of the
non productive class. The Tele-
graph man visited another of
these farms this week and was
very much impressed with the
change wrought in this particular
property.
NJ. w. Wilson of this city, who
was reared on a farm but has
been engaged in other occupa-
tons for many years, contracted
a severe case of the back to the
farm fever" last December, re-
sulting in his purchase of an 80
acre tract from the old Mitchell
farm, II miles southeast of town.
He has splendid crops growing
on the place and during his brief
ownership he has, at total cash
outlay of less than $4,000, made
improvements which almost dou-
BILE the value of the farm. Ditch
es have been opened up where
needed, draining good acreage
that had formerly been given over
to sloughs, and the creek banks
and fence rows, which were
rank with timber and briars, have
also been cleaned up, redeeming
another large area.
This farm was cultivated last
year, in spots that were open
enough to allow cultivation with
, out any extra work, and about
} g bales of cotton and 100 bush
els of corn was the extent of the
crop produced on it. In striking
contrast, % acres of the farm
planted in corn this year will pro
duce about $40 bushels, or an {
erage Of 30 bushels to the acre
Is acres of the lightest land is il
, cotton and this will make abou
8 bales.
Mr.. Wilson IS carrying out tn
diversification idea, and beside
, the staple crops he has severa
acres in peas, ) acres in peanuts
: 1 acre in sorghum, l acre in kai
! tie corn, besides having peas an
| pumpkins in all of his corn.
The increased production o
! this farm has been brought abou
! in only a few months. Before al
! other season the owner expect
/ to tile portions of the farm whic
! need better drainage and max
still otheis improvements, whic
Will resV in a further increas,

expected to do his whole duty. A
great deal can be done with the

to develop their wonderful coun-
try, that we ought to use force to
make them heed the thousands
that are now starving to death all
over the country. People are
coming to us all the time who
have had to flee from the coun
try, some leaving vast estates; or,
in feeble attempt to defend their
property, some are being killed.
+ One of the most interesting
towns in West Texas is Ysletta.
II miles out of Ell Paso. This
town, right on the Rio Grande
river, was settled more than 300
years ago. Possibly the first ir-
rigatiOn system that was ever
used on this continent was the
one at Ysletta and some of the
same bitches now in use are said
to have been in use for over 200
years. The gardens and crops
now growing on this land are
among the finest | have ever seen.
The waters from the Rio Grande
are like those from the Nile in de
posting sediment that continues
to enrich the land.
[ crossed the Rio Grande at
Ell Paso recently and spent the
day at Juaraz pronounced Whar-
raz). Here we saw the famous
bull ring where nearly every Sun
day they have the old Spanish
bull fight, just as they did cen
turtles ago.
Along the dirty streets there
you will find old men. women and
boys with home made candy or
something else trying to sell it.
If there were any more flies in
| Moses time than there were in
that quaint town, those poor
Egyptians have my profound
sympathy. l saw several old men
tanning the green flies off their
stock of candy with a cows tail
while he was not trying to sell it.
All of the butcher 81 Us were
without screens, and in fact not
aScreen was to be seen anywhere.
[ positively hate flies, but if they
were half the menace to health
that doctors claim, these people
in Mexico would all be dead.
The most interesting sight |
saw while there was the Mission
Guadalupe. This church was built
in 1549 by the Franciscans, at the
time of the Spanish explorations
which resulted in the establish
ment of Santa F'e, New Mexico.
1t is an undisputed fact that the
Indians were receiving inStruc-
ton in Christianity on this spot
when the MayhOwer landed at
Plymouth Rock. The building is
made of stone and there is not a
single seat in it. You could see
mothers sitting on the floor nurs-
ing their babies while others
stood around the walls engaged
in worship. | had occasion to at
tend a funeral. 1t was the most
weird and quaint service | have
ever attended. The walls and
ceiling of the mission were of the
highest grade cedar. while the
magnificent columns and beams
supporting the ceiling, also of the
same material, were>hand carved
in the most delicate and dexter
iouS manner known only to In
dams. The young man who took
US over the church pointed out
the many ornaments and vessels,
talking very interestingly about
them; he spoke about them in a
very pious manner because they
were from Spain, and many were
very old. The church is in It per
feet state of preservation and on
ly a part of the ceiling has ever
been repaiIei.

WAS built almost aliari iIuUn it. !

ASKS CITY FOR DAMAGES
Michael Nicholson Says Nymore Pave
,ment Grade Injured Property to Ex-
tent Of $1,000-Case on Trial.
WILCOX IS GIVEN VERDICT

Claiming that the establishment of
the grade for the building of the Be-
|midji-Nymore pavement has injured
his property to the extent of $1,000,
Michael Nicholson, in a case which
is now on trial before Judge Wright
in district court, asks damages for
the amount named from the City of
BemidU.
Michelson's property is located on
the south side of the road near the
Minnesota & International tracks,
and plaintiff claims the grade has
prevented water from flowing from
the land, his two lots being flooded,
thereby lessening their value and
rendering them, worthless for garden
purposes.
The action, brought by Attorney
Charles Scrutchin, was against both
Bemidji and the Village of Nymore,
but the case against the latter was
dismissed this morning. City Attor-
ney P. J. Russell is representing Be-
midji and Attorney John Brown, N.Y.

case at noon and it is expected that

Wet Roads Make Vanderbilt Exhibi.
ton Impossible and It Will Not

THOUSANDS ARE DISAPPOINTED
Famous Drivers Entered-De Palma
Picked to Win-A History Of
Previous Races.
The Vanderbilt race scheduled
for this morning was postponed
until March 6 on account of wet
roads.

Exposition Grounds, San Francisco,
Feb. 22.-One hundred and fifty
thousand spectators gathered at the
Panama-Pacific exposition grounds
here early today to witness the Van
derbilt Cup race-America's automo-
bile road classic. The race was I'M
ique in several respects 1t was the
first time road race fas ever staged
on exposition grounds
The distance to be covered by the
drivers today was 294.062 miles.
There were 76 laps to the race, each
lap representing 3.9053 miles. The
crack drivers Of America and four
other countries were entered in
the race. There were rs entries, but
Ralph de Palma, twice winner of the
Vanderbilt Cup, driving a Mercedes
car, was the favorite in the betting
De Palma purchased his car abroad
last fall and it was a money winner
in the Grand PriX of France last year.
If De Palma wins this year he
would attain permanent possession Of
the Vanderbilt trophy and is such
an event the Vanderbilt Cup race
would be removed from the list of
road racing classics.
Course is Unique.
The course itself was unique In
stead of racing over macadam-as
the Vanderbilt racers did at Long
Island and at Elgin-the drivers con-
tended over a track of newly laid
sheet asphalt. This applied to the
entire four miles of the circuit, aside
from about three-quarters of mile
at one end, where the course made
use of part of a mile track, designed
for horse racing. The start and fin
ish were to be made on the mile
track. From either side of this mo-
dified oval the course was routed
through maze of state and foreign
IldLlOu UullulISS. Inc SLIdlSut
stretches enclosed most of the expo
sition's main buildings
On the straightway next to San
Francisco Bay, which the cars fol-
lowed on their return, was more than
a half-mile of slight wn-grade
Some of the drivers predicted they
would make as high as 10 miles an
hour on this stretch.
In addition to Carlson and De Pal
ma, the field of starters today in
cluded such notable drivers as Bar
ney Oldfeld, Earl Cooper, Louis Dis
brow, Dusenberg, Caleb Bragg, Mar
quis, the Italian, and others.
A number of prominent automo-
bile manufacturers witnessed the
race. Among these were Henry
Ford, John w. WHY'S, Fl. S. Firestone
and F. A. Wilson,
