REBELS CONTROL
IN CHIHUAHUA
carranza Is Losing Grip on Mex
lean State.
PERSHING'S MEN TO REMAIN
Mexican Commissioners Admit That
First Chief Is Unable to Defeat
Gano-U. S. Troops May Co
Operate With Carranzistas.

Atlantic City. n. j., Nov. 13.-The
Americin-MeXican joint commission,
converting on Friday after Il recess of
u week, was confronted by Il situation
in Mexico which is only equaled in Sc
robustness by that which existed after
the Columbus raid and the dispatch of
the eXpeditionary column after Villa
under General Pershing.
Official and other reliable infOrma-
ton in the hands OF the American com
miSSiOners indicates that the state of
chihuahua, with the exception of Il
few of the larger cities, is beyond the
control of the Carranza authorities and
that the power of the opposition is in
creasing daily.
The legalStas, who have been pas
sive in the southern part of Mexico,
have now begun to show considerable
strength and have captured important
towns of Chiapas and OaXaca.
The Mexican commissioners admit
ted the capture by the followers of
Gen. Felix Diaz Of the railway junction
of Rincon Antonio, in OaXaca. This
gives the legalistas control over the
most important railway south of Mex
leo City, with the railway material
held at the junction of the Pan-Ameri-
can and Tehuantepec railways.
Much of this information was based
on reports reaching the border through
refugees and some was based on moth
ing more authentic than border rumOr.
All of it, however, indicated that the
situation in Chihuahua was growing
serious and that unless the CarranZa
commanders were able TO show some
definite gains against the Villistas soon
the control of that territory, with the
consequent endangering of the Ameri-
can border towns, would pass out OF
the hands Of Carranza.
The Mexican commissioners queS-
toned the reliability of much of the in
formation presented by the Americans,
but admitted the main features. While
no announcement has been made, it is
known that the question of the with
draWal of the Pershing column has
been tabled for the present and that 1t
is not likely to be revived soon. 1t is
considered likely that the question OF
more active cooperation between the
American and Mexican forces to re-
store order may be considered.

TWO DIE ON ToRPEDoED LINER.
British Admiralty Declares Submarine
Failed to Warn Arabia.

London, Nov. 9.-The Peninsular
and Oriental liner Arabia received no
warning from the submarine which
sank it in the Mediterranean on Mond-
day, according to a statement issued
on Wednesday by the admiralty. All
the 437 passengers, including 1863 wom-
en- and children. and all the crew with
the exception of two engineers, who
were killed by the explosion, were
saved by vessels which went to the
rescue.
The Peninsular and Oriental COM
pany had no list of the passengers on
the Arabia and consequently is unable
to say whether there were any Ameri-
cans on board.
Washington, Nov 10.-The attitude
of the American government in con-
nection with the sinking of the steam
ship Arabia in the Mediterranean on
Monday probably will depend upon
whether any Americans were aboard.

LIME TO INCREASE
QUANTITY OF WHEAT.
BY Use of Ingredient Fl to rs
Per Cent More Secured
at the Chic Station.

Neither manure nor any combina
ton of fertilizers has been able tn
produce full yield of wheat without
the help of lime," said Director G. II.
Thorne regarding the value of lime
on soil similar to that of the Ohio e,t-
pertinent station at Wooster. This
year MANFRED land yielded 81 to ~
per cent more wheat where lime was
applied.
Another plot fortified with nitrate
of soda, acid phosphate and muriate
of potash gave 81 per cent more whest
where lined than on unlimed soil sim
ilarly fortified.
The yield on plot receiving com
plete fertilizer with nitrogen in s,,-
plate of ammonia gave 115 per cent
increase in crop by application os

produced on hard, depleted soil. Some
growers from force of habit, perhaps
every spring plant corn on land which
they know is too poor to produce
profitable crop. While this practice
continues the soil as well as the farm
err will remain poor. The blowing and
cultivating of POOR soil is as expensive
as the blowing and cultivating of fer
tile soil. The man who cultivates
poor soil and harveSts poor crops can
not proftably compete with his neigh
Dor who grows good crops with but
little, if any, greater expenditure or
labor Or capital. Germ growing should
not be attempted on poor land. Such
land should first be brought into fer
tile condition Sy the growing and plow-
ing under of leguminous crops, the APP
plication of manures, etc. In the mean
time some crops that require less fer
filthy than Germ nay be grown. 1t
should be remembered that the nature
of the corn plant is such that it Will
not produce grain unless the soil is
rich enough to afford considerable
growth of stalk, and that, in general,
the richer the soil the heavier will be
the yield of grain. Other plants will
often produce fair crops on soil too
poor to produce cora.
Eest Soil for Corn.
Since the nature Of the season can
not be foretcld it is impossible to pre-
Sict whether high land or low land viii
produce better, but as corn makes
tall, vigorous growth, requiring much
moisture, low land, usually being bet
ter supplied with both moisture and
fertility, is likely, IL well drained, to
produce better than high land. In
many cornfelds throughout the coun-
try may be seen portions or spots on
which it is impossible for corn to
thrive. These may be clasey spots or
swampy or underlined areas, or ground

ment OF Agriculture)
The yield of corn in the United
States as a whole has never exceeded
% bushels per acre for any ten-year
period. In no states has it averaged
more than "a bushels per acre for even
a single year. In practically every sec
ton of the country, however, yields of
more than 100 bushels per acre have
been produced. These figures indicate
that throughout the country more land
Is being used and more labor is being
expended in producing the corn crop
than is necessary. The average an
nual crop grown to meet demands dur
ing the years just prior to 1910 aver
aged in round numbers 2,500,000,00O
bushels. TIC produce this, with the
prevailing low yields, more than 3d.
000,G00 acres Of land were required.
Poor corn crops are usually attrib-
uted to unfavorable weather conditions
and frequently this is the true cause,
for there are but few summers during
which this crop does not suffer more
or less at sCEae stage in its growth.
The most that can be done regarding
the weather is to take the best posi-
BILE advantage of the conditions as they
exist. But there are other conditions
that are responsible for low production
conditions that are directly Under
the control of the farmer-and these
make possible the doubling of the av-
erage yield per acre within a few
years.

 The case of the g. E Harris Com pany vs. the Thlinket Packing Com | pnny was decided in favor or the ! plaintiff. The Harris Company ap. piled for a mandatory injunction to prevent the Thinkot Packing Com pany constructing a fish trap at Ground Hog Bay and to cause the removal of the structure already there within a distance of 1900 feet of their trap now ip operation al that point
 In this controversy over the trap site. it was shown that the Harris company was in actual possession of the site with fish trap in nc tual operation The lrao which had been carried away In :; storm and Che company was reconsiructing it iu' such a way that it woilld cork the trap of the Harris Company In the opinion rendered it was held that the owner of trap, Actually con structed and fishing, wal entitled to possession of Q trap site and other traps could not be constructed with in a distance ol 1900 feet were such construction would Interfere with the operation Of the trap already in operation. z. K. Cheney appeared for the Harris Company while Vim & Burton representing the defend ants.
 The court holds that iisliher a per init from the War Department to con Struct trap nor license issued by the Territory of Alaska grants the holder any exclusive right to any trap site In other words the one who first takes possession of a site and drives subs,ontial struc- ture has ,he best right to the loea- ton.
