The opportunities for the develop
ment of seed production in the U. s.
were never more encouraging noi
better than at the present Tune. We,
I'm the past, have been depending upon
Europe to furnish us with a very
large proportion o. the seeds in this
country. Since the present European
war has cut OFT THUS source OF sup
ply, we have been brought lace 10
face with the problem OF producing
our own seeds. While this shortage
will tor a Time cause more or Less Oh
q famine in some OF our most need
cd seeds it will ILL the long run prove
to be blessing. In the first place
the imported seeds are oItentmes OF
an inferior quantity and are used 10
adulturate and lower the standard OF
our home grown products. Secondly,
the seed industry in this country WILL
necessarily be Increased to supply the
demand. When we are educated to
the tact that we can get along better
without foreign grown seeds the In
dustry will be placed upon q per
manent basis.
The signal successes In seed pro-
duction Of various kinds in southern
Idaho have demonstrated the fact that
our home grown seeds are of an UNI
surpassed quality. Some of the yields
obtained are almost unbelievable.
This Ia especially true with clover
seed.
This brief report upon the produc-
ton OF clover seed in the Twin Falls
country is based upon data obtained
from some thirty succ essful growers
upon the Twin Falls South Side tract.
The area covered in this census
stretches from the vicinity OF Hansen
to that of Buhl. The covering OF SO
large a territory necessarily embraces
wide diversity of conditions such as
physical characteristics and depth OF
soil as we'll as slight climatic differ
ences. The methods employed In the
seed production given lin these pages
are based upon averages and in the
aggregate are thought to be approx
mately correct.
MIR. Peter Link. whose ranch 10 To-
Gated 31s miles south of Hansen, was
among the first men to produce clover
seed upon the tract. He had acres
OF red clover which yielded bushels
per acre. for which he received S1320
per bushel. This was in 1907.
A year or two later, MIR. Pauls, a
neighbor to MIR. Link. was among the
first to raise alsike seed commercial
Y. White clover was not extensively
grown for seed until several years
after the alsike and the red had been
first produced. Mr.. Shields OF Bull,
was probably among the first to
raise a fair yield of this crop. This
was In 1914.
The following table has been CON-
piled from data obtained from q local
seed buyer rs well as from other
sources and represents something that
Ia more or less accurate:

toned in Texas.

Washington, March 10.-Approxi-
mately 10000 troops. with 4S mountain
batteries and field guns, are on the
border between Douglas, Ariz., and Ell
Paso, Texas. A little more than one
third of the force is cavalry and all
could be assembled at any point be-

The cavalry and battalion of noun
tain artillery, with II mountain guns

tween Douglas and Ell Paso. The 18th,
18th and 22nd infantry, the 9Th field
artillery and a battalion of the Attn

TOALL AMERICANS.
Villas Edict is Told in Letter Written
by Him and Found After Raid
On New Mexico.

Columbus, n. NJ, March 10.-An
invitation to General Emiliano Zapata
to march north and join in an attack
on the United States was sent by
Francisco Villa in January, according
to copy of a letter found among Viii
las captured papers. The letter was
dated San Geronimo, Chihuahua, Jan.
6, 1916.
Il shall not expend another shell
on brother Mexicans," Villa wrote in
the letter, "but will prepare and Or
ganize to attack the Americans on
their own soil and let them know that
Mexico is a land of the free and the
tomb of traitors"
Villa proposed that the joint move
ment with Zapata against the Uni
ted States should occur six months
from Jan. 6. Zapata so far as known
made no move to accept and this may
have been responsible for Villas de-
cision to march on Columbus at once.
Villa, in the letter attributed his
defeat at Aqua Prieta last November
to the action Of the United States
government in permitting Carranza
military authorities to send over
American territory reinforcements for
the Mexican town opposite Douglas,
Ariz., and declared that act an invas-
ion Of the sovereignty of Mexico and
an insult to the people.
AT that time" Villa told Zapata,
81 restrained, but with the greatest
difficulty, the impulse of my troops to
attack the city of Douglas"
Carranza, he also stated in the let
ter. had sold Mexico to the United
States agreeing to lease Magdalena
bay for SO years and giving over con-
troll of the Mexican national railroad

OPPOSES PLAN TO
RAISE MORE men
Lord Shaughnessy Takes Stand
Against Increasing Canada's Con.
tingent in European War.

Montreal, March 10.-Lord Shaugh-
messy, president of the Canadian Pa
cific Railway company, is opposed to
the plan of Sir Robert Borden, the
Canadian premier, to raise the Cana
dian contingent in the European war
to 100000 Addressing a meeting of
business and military leaders held
here yesterday to encourage recruit
ing Lord Shaughnessy said he did not
regard the plan as practicable and that
if Canada was to attempt to raise 225,-
900 men in addition to its present
army, it would cause a serious draft
upon the working population. He an
nounced that the agricultural depart
ment has asked the Canadian Pacific
for aid in taking 10000 farmers to the
western provinces for seeding and
harvesting work.
Lord Shaughnessy advised that Can,
ada go slow about recruiting, saying
that some of the first Canadian con-
tingent are still in camp in England,
while 10000 men representing an out
lay Of probably $12,000,00O month are
still in Canada with no prospect of be-
ing moved to Europe for a long time.
He said it would have been better to
have gone more slowly and saved
$5,000,000 month, for use hereafter
He asked if it would be wise to go on
Ilessening Canada's ability to give
financial aid to the British empire
when the time of its need should come
+ Major General Sir Sam Hughes said
that no industry would be threatened
in shortage of labor if one million men
went to the front, adding that Mont
real could recruit $4,000 to 10000 men
Lord Shaughnessy replied if 80 the
women would have to enlist
The meeting adopted resolution

THE WAR
TODAY

Washington, March 10. - Rus
sian troops have landed on the
Black Sea coast of Asiatic Tur-
key and the occupation OF Trebi-
z0nd is imminent, according to a
dispatch received today from the
American embassy at Constanti-
nOple.
The state department also was
advised that the American consul
at Trebiz0nd had taken over the
archives of the German consulate
there. the German consul having
left.
A momentary LET up in the des-
perate infantry fighting about
Verdun is reported today from
Paris. The Germans have not
again attacked on either bank OF
the Meuse, it is announced. but
violent bombardment of the de-
lenses continued. indicating that
the respite probably is to be brief.
An official statement from Paris
today emphatically contradicts the
German claim to the capture OF
the fort and village of Naux. The
fort was not even attacked, the
war office asserts and while Ger
man infantry did succeed in en-
tering Yaux, they were SUISSE
auently driven out, the village re-
manning In French hands.
Paris declares the greater part
OF Corbeaux wood, where des-
perate fighting has been taking
place, remains for the greater
part i'm French hands. There are
signs of renewed activity on the
eastern front as the spring ap-
prOaehes.
The most important move on
the northern end of the line.
seems to have been Il German eff
fort to cross the DYina river
above Dyinsk. The considerable
force engaged in this effort was
dispersed by the Russian fire, Pc
tr0grad claims.
On the eastern front. the Rus
slams have taken the offensive at
various points but Berlin declares
the attacks have not been success
ful anywhere.
On the Black sea coast the Rus
SLAMS continue to push forward
toward Turkeys principal port,

progress against Ottoman posi-
tons In Persia

FUNSTON URGES STEP
General Recommends Clear
ing Out of Outlaws as
Only Solution.

Washington, March 10
President Wilson today or
dered American troops over
the Mexican border to cap
ture or kill the Villa bandits
who yesterday raided Column
bus, N. NJ.
Major General Scott, chief
of staff of the army, an
nounced that the expedition
would consist of not less than
5000 men, all of which are
available on the border I'M
der Major General Funston.
In its present stage the
presidents order does not
mean armed Intervention in
Mexico. 1t provides for a
punitive expedition to deal
with lawless forces over
which the Carranza govern
ment has no control.
The following statement was
issued at the White house:
AN adequate force will be sent
at once in pursuit of Villa with
the single object of capturing him
and putting a stop to his forays.
"This can be done and will be
done in entirely friendly aid of
the constituted authorities in Mex
leo and with scrupul0us respect
for the sovereignty of that re-
public
1t was said at the White house that
the American government wants Villa
dead or alive and that no steps will
be neglected to carry out that object.
1t was declared that the United
States will not consider the punitive
expedition an invasion Of Mexico and
will continue to deal with the Carran-
"a government. The American gov
eminent is still opposed to armed in
tervention in Mexico, but has decided
that the peace of both Mexico and the
United States is imperiled by the con-
tinued activities of Francisco Villa.
The cabinet was unanimous in de-
Gliding that Villa must be caught. Sen
ator Fall introduced a resolution pro-
yiding for the recruiting of 100000
volunteers to police Mexico. State
department dispatches from Chihua-
hua say General Gutierrez, the Car
rama commander there, has given or
ders for the capture of the bandits
who raided Columbus:
Washington, March 10.-After bn
early conference today between Sec
rotary Baker and Major General Scott

the Columbus massacre is closed in
cident so far as the war department Is
concerned. General Scott said that
unless it was decided to have Ameri-
can troops cross the border again
there was no likelihood of further in.
itiatiye action by the army.

that he be authorized to send Ameri'
