The Mexican government still insists
on the withdrawal of General PERISH
ings columns on a certain date and
wants that date to be soon. It is claim

willing to make concessions in order
to reach an agreement with the Amer

Carranza and his advisers.
obregon's Manner Abrupt.
The end of the negotiations came
after two conferences had been held.
The first began at 10 o'clock in the
morning and lasted until p. m. when
recess was taken until o'clock.
After two hours and a half, however,
they were brought to an end.
General Obregon, accompanied by
Juan N. Amador, Mexican sub-secre-
tary of foreign affairs, emerged from
the private car occupied by General
Scott and General Funston, walked
rapidly down the railway yards, climb.
ed into his waiting automobile, and
drove away.
The Mexican conferee's manner was
abrupt and vexed, but General Fun

Does Not Mean Break.
1t was pointed out authoritatively
that the result of the various meet.
1ngs in Ell Paso does not mean that
there is any immediate threat of a
rupture between the United States and
Mexico. So far as the United States
is concerned, it is said the army in
the Mexican state of Chihuahua will
remain practically inactive. The only
break that can possibly come would
| follow an attack by Carranza troops
upon American troops.
1t is understood that General Obre.
gon has been warned that such an at.
| tack will be the beginning of reprisals.

COUNTY AGENT NOTES


The corn show at the Coolspring
Grange Hall last Saturday night show
ed what progress can be made in one
year. A similar show was held last
year. the exhibits at that time being
far inferior in quality to those shown
| this year. In addition to corn, white
potatoes, canned fruit, fancy work,
and millet were on display as well as
several samples of apples. The next
thing for an active grange of this kind
to do is to prepare exhibits to show
away from the home neighbOrhood.
The State Corn Show in January Of
fers to individuals and to oranges an
excellent opportunity to win valuable
prizes. The meeting of the horticul-
tural society at Dover should interest
oranges located in sections where
white potatoes are grown extensively.
Prizes have been offered year after
year for exhibits of white potatoes,
and they have rarely all been taken.
At the recent meeting of the agricul-
tural and allied societies of Maryland,
during Maryland week in Baltimore,
there were some very fine exhibits
clubs of that state. All of these eX-
hibits showed both skill in getting the
materials together and the active help
of a considerable membership Many
of them also indicated a long past his
tory. as if these clubs and oranges
had been sending similar exhibits for
many years. These local exhibits. as
well as those at county, state and in
terstate meetings, are most helpful in
building up interest in local products,
and indirectly in advertising the local |
ity in which they are prepared.
A meeting was held this week in |
Lewes, at which Prof Hayward, of |
Delaware College. explained the ad- |
and disadvantages of cream
cries and cooling stations. Similar |
meetings can probably be arranged at
other points if a demand arises. It
IS important at this time that every
MIX producer living in the vicinity of
creamery should have all the facts
leeded to form a judgment between
he two methods of dispOsing of milk.
All points ought to be considered be-
ore anyone leaves the local creamery
or cooling station. and it should be
he whole neighborhOOd that should
asst the deciding vote. In sections
'here there is no creamery the prob
EN- is not so acute. but even here the
roducers should not hurry to bind
with contracts until they
ave thorough understanding of the
ost of producing milk and of some
the disadvantages as well as the
ivantages Of the shipping station.
