OBRECON SMILES
Assures CarranZa e. s. Doesn't
Intend War.
Reports Ell PasO Conference
Was Highly Satisfactory.

Mexico City, May 17.-War Minister
Obregon, in statement to newspaper
men today upon his return from Ell
PaSo, declared his absolute confidence
that President Wilson contemplates no
war with Mexico. He has SO reported
to Carranza-
Obregon said his conferences with
Generals Scott and Funston had been
highly satisfactory. He is satisfied,
he said. that both army officers ia
vored withdrawal of the American
troops as soon as they are convinced
danger of border raids has been elm
mated. For that reason, he is send
ing north a body of picked troops to
cooperate with the American forces
in patrolling the border.
Obregon was to have a further con-
ference with General CarranZa and
other mem bers of his cabinet today
His negotiations at the border were
to be considered.
Carranza AcquieSceS.
Washington. May 17.-Unless the
Mexican populace forces him to make
a new demonstration of disapproval
against the stay of the American ex-
pedition in Mexico, Carranza will prob
ably remain silent for some time to
come, according to the official view
today.
Conclusion of working agreement
by the recent Scott-Obregon confer
ence has eliminated for practical pur-
poses the necessity for much further
diplomatic negotiations. While there
may be sporadic efforts to have Car
ranza's recent withdrawal suggestion
answered. it appears likely both gov
ernments will be content to play a
waiting game.
The United States in return for Car
ranzista concessions pledged that it
would withdraw its forces as soon as
border banditry is broken.

ceipts and shipments of horses and mules for the same period. Reports indicate that the government IS Tn the market for 30,00O to 10000 head of horses and mules suitable for army use, and it seems probable that this may stimulate the market.
 "Climatic conditions from the latter part of June to the present writing were in the main favorableafor agri- cultural development. Prior to that time cool, rainy weather had some what hindered both the planting and cultivating of the principal crops, and, therefore, the arrival of hot sea- sonable weather was welcomed. Un- der this stimulous, crops have de- veloped rapidly, although a few com- plaints of drought are noted.
 Farm Products Advance in Price.
 "In St. Louis truck farm products, vegetables, home-g grown fruits, etc., have advanced in price in the past 10 days. This advance is attributed to the extreme heat and insufficient rain. These conditions have contributed to the recent increases in price of poultry and eggs.
 "There is a free movement in car- load lots of cantalopes, watermelons, tomatoes, peaches, etc., from the more Southern parts of the district, but prices are reported somewhat higher than the average. The potato crop is coming into the market freely.
 "From present indications surplus funds of banks, especially in St. Louis, are not as large as they were 30 days ago, and discount rates have advanced from one-half to one per cent in the principal cities of the district.
 "The commercial paper rates show similar increase, best names being quoted at four to four and one-quar- ter per cent and other names four and one-half to five per cent. Commercial paper brokers report an increased de- mand from country banks for paper at four and one-half per cent, but the market in the larger cities is dull and inactive. The percentage of gain in clearings for the six months, January 1 to June 30, 1916, compared to the same period, 1915, for the principal cities in this district, follows:
 "St. Louis 228, Louisville 41.0, Memphis 12.2, Little Rock 17.2, Evans vile 46.2.
 "The percentage of gains in clear ings for the week ending July 8, 1916, compared to the same week in 1915 for the same centers, follows:
 "St. Louis 34.6, Louisville 25.3, Memphis 45.1, Little Rock 14.0, Evans vile 261.
 "In June, 1916, this bank cleared 221 ,O60 items for total of $117, 7,516,- O61.24. The number of items and total amount of clearings has increas- ed from month to month, and the June clearings arc a new high record"

 Storms Damage Crop.
 During the month storms caused some damage to the crop. In the first week weather was favorable m most places and the crop made sat isfactory growth, but owing to earllef unfavorable conditions some fields were irregular and in places the plants were small and backward. Boil weevil were reported damaging the crop in Texas, Mississippi, Alabama Arkansas and Louisiana.
 High winds ard heavy rains of a tropical storm did serious damage ln portions of the central and east Gulf states during the second week. Much of the crop in the lowlands was flood ed and uplands were badly washed an dthe crop otherwise injured. In extreme western Florida the crop was damaged from 25 to 50 per cent by the storm. Continued rains favored boil weevil increase and prevented much needed cultivation. In the western portion of the belt and northern part east of the Mississippi. weather was generally favorable and the crop made good progress.
 During the latter part of the month some damage was sustained from

those that do best in the small garden. So go to some reliable dealer and ask his advice. about the sorts of roses to set out in your particular locality You might also write to the state agricul- tural department and ask it's advice about roses growing in your region.
 Remember that roses need plenty of room They do not thrive when they are mixed in with and crowded by other plants or shrubs. They must be planted alone, in beds or borders, with plenty. of room between. The soil must be rich, and must be kept loosely agi- tated. Gladiolus bulbs may be planted among roses without injuring them, and so may pansies, but these are the only things safely planted in the rose bed. .--
 Most of the big florists or flower, seed and plant concerns have lists of roses suitable to various sorts of gar dens. There are the lovely climbing roses, which should find place wher- ever there are arbors or trellises on which they can be trained. The treI- lises can be placed against the side of the house or against a stone wall at comparatively small expense. These roses come in pink. white and red.
