4 RECIPROCAL AGREEMENT.
President Wilson Acccdes to Carrnn-
Hl's Rcqucst-No Intervention.

Washington, March 13.-The Uni
ted States government entered into
formal agreement with the de facto
government Of Mexico to-day, under
which American troops will cross the
border to hunt down Villa and his
bandits with the expectation Of
hearty cooperation from the Carran-
"a forces.
Secretary Lansing made public the
text OF note accepting Gen. Car
ranZa's proposal for reciprocal ar
rangement between the two govern
ments and announcing that the Uni
ted States held this arrangement to
be now in force and binding upon
both parties. Gen. Funston will
carry out his task under this agree
ment
Official announcement WAS awaited
toni g'ht that the American force had
crossed the border. Plans for the
troop movements have gone ahead
without regard to the diploma tic ex-
changes.
Pledges No Intervention.
MIR. Lansing also made Il public
statement. fssued in the name of
President Wilson, reiterating that
every step being taken by the admin
istratoin was based OH the deliberate
intention to preclude the possibility
of armed intervention in Mexico. The
statement follows:
"ln order to remove any misappre-
hension that may exist either in the
United States or in Mexico, the Pres
ident has authorized me to give in his
name the public assurance that the
military operations now in contem-
plation by this government will be
scrupnlously confined to the object
announced, and that in no
circumstances will they be suffered
to infringe in any degree upon the
sovereignty of Mexico or develop into
intel r"ntion Of amy kind in the inter
nal affair; of our sister republic.
ION the cu"trary, what is now be-
ing done is deliberately intended to
preclude the possibility Of. intervcn-
ton"
Terms in Agreement.
The note to Carranza defines the
terms OF the agreement beyond the
possibility Of misconStruction. 1t pro-
vides that where conditions arise on
the American side Of the border sim
liar to those at Columbus, which led
to Uhe orders to Gen. Funston to en-
ter Mexico, the same privilege will be
accorded to the Mexican do facto gov
ernment without the necessity Of
further exchange Of views 1t is
clearly stated, however. that the
bandits to be pursued on American
soil by Mexican troops must have
come from the American side. COM
mittcd depredations on the Mexican
side and fled back again to United
States territory. There is no such
instance on record in recent years.

We offer to our trade our regular
Piedmont Guano, made the same as
last year-that is, we get our Potash
from German kainit.
We could have sold this Kainit for
considerably more than we will get
on time from our customers--But
we are looking after our customers
interests while taking care Of our
own.
We will offer to our trade this
season:
Fertilizer with Potash,

Our experience in farming our
selves has convinced us thoroughly
that, If you can arrange TO do SO,
1t pays to side dress. A little un-
der your cotton when you plant, and
side dress Just about the time the
cotton begins to put on squares or
little before. More often than not
people side dress too late Had ra-
ther have it a little early than later.
