FRAME LOOKS AFTER
II I . HEALTH of BOYS
CONTINUED from Page 0ne1


from Brigadier General E. N. Lewis,
the Llano Grande and Mercedes camp
commander, the program Of drills,
said there is nothing in the drill
schedule that will be difficult for his
men to perform.
One of the first official visitors at
the North Dakota camp was Brigadier
General James Parker, in command
Of all the troops along the Lower
Rio Grande valley from Fort Ring
Mercedes district There are fifty
thousand troops in this district. Gen:
eral Parker complimented Colonel
Frame on the appearance of the camp
and the men.
BLocKsoN MAY COMMAND
1t is expected that Colonel A. P.
Blocksom, commander of the Third
United States cavalry, with headquar-
ters at Mercedes, will be placed In
command of the national guard bri-
gade comprising the two infantry
regiments from Nebraska and the one
regiment from North Dakota.
Colonel Frame, ever on the look
out for the health of his men, forbade
them trading at ice cream and soft
drink concessions established near
the North Dakota camp. As a result
of this order the private concessions
did no business, and the North Da-
kota regiment purchased their newly
erected stands for use as regiment.
al post store and mess halls. The
men moved the buildings to the camp
site at once, so the North Dakota
regiment established new record in
this district by beginning operations
Of post exchange In less than four
days after making camp.
FIVE MILES FROM RIVER
The North Dakota camp site is
about five miles north of the Rio
Grande river, along which the Third
U. S. cavalry is patrolling. This dis.
trict last fall was the center of Mex
lean bandit activities, but there have
been no atrocities here since the ar
rival of regulars and Texas national
guard about eight months ago.
Mercedes Is town of about $4,000
population, two-thirds being of Mex
lean birth, but for the most part ma
turalized citizens. The town has wa
ter works, water being pumped from
the irrigation canals, which, in turn,
are supplied from the Rio Grande
river. The water has an alkali taste,
but is used in Mercedes for drinking
purposes. An order has been issued
the North Dakota troops to boil all
water for at least twenty minutes for
cooking and drinking purposes.
LOTS OF FOOD LEFT
The North Dakota troops had about
four days travel rations lett after
reaching here, and will not begin
drawing field rations until these are
| gone.

great hit with the people Of Mercedes,

Fargo, N. D., Aug. 2.-Rusted' grain

be cut early, being unsound, accord

81 have had a number of letters
from farmers asking whether rusty
wheat should be cut early in order
to keep the grain from shriveling,"
said Mr.. Bolley today. n
"For three years, particularly IN
1904, carried out a number of cut
ting experiments to ascertain wheth-
er there is any time previous to ma
turity at which it is preferable to
cut rusty wheat. These trials, even
on rusty wheat, seem to indicate that
it Is preferable to allow the straw to

All Is Well

Says Welch

The camp at Mercedes is like that
at Camp Lincoln, says Capt. A. B.
Welch in letter received yesterday
The letter follows:
Well, here we are, and am steal
ing little time to write to you. Our
camp is made just as you saw 1t at
Camp Lincoln except that it is among
the tropical jungle of mesquite, ba-
nanas and weeds. We are cleaning 1t
all out with our bayonets and bolos
and we are cleaner than at Bismarck.
We have killed two rattlesnakes, sew
eral scorpions, some centipedes and
tarantulas and the boys have choice
collection of reptiles captured. Quail
and deer plentiful. Last night the
sentries on our right took several
to get by somewhere along the line.
We are very comfortable here and are
guarding this little city. We are 3 IL
miles from the border and a great
irrigation main line runs by the camp.
This we guard also. Eighteen thous-
and troops are camping within three
miles of US, and we get many COM
pliments from everybody. Texas is
camped just about three blocks from
US, and some regular cavalry is on
our right. They kill someone most
where fights have occurred, houses
shot up and burned, etc. We are
about IA miles to the west of Browns
Vile, in the extreme southern part Of
the state. In case of extreme trouble
we will perhaps be sent on transports
and become part of the expedition
to Mexico City from Vera Cruz. This

those that are not heavily attacked
will ripen some plump seed. If the
grain is cut while there is milk in it,
all of it will be shriveled. There
fore, it is my opinion that the wheat
should be allowed to stand until by
study Of the straw and grain each
farmer is convinced that his particu-
lar field isafeady to cut. Usually the
straw should be yellow above the sec
ond joint from the ground. When the
kernel is pinched it should emit no
moisture or milk.
Observations made this year and
past years, convince me that the Bar
berry bush, commonly planted as a
hedge, should be declared a public
nuisance and be destroyed wherever
possible. This is a great destroyed OF
wheat, as it starts the rust early in
May. The sexual stage-male and
female form of the wheat rust, is car
ried by the Burberry bush, and seems
to serve as a constant reinvigorator
