WAR DEPARTMENT REQUESTED
TO SEND A LARGE PART OF
THE NATIONAL GUARD.
100000 MEN ARE NEEDED
Army Already Patrolling international
Border Is Prepared to Resist Any
Aggression Mexican Government
Forces Might Make.

San Antonio, TeXas.-Facing Car.
ranzas defiant army in Northern
Mexico there will be stationed along
the Rio Grande within a week or 10
days an American force that will to-
tai, it was believed, almost 10000
men. Gen. Funston has requested the
War Department to send him as quick.
ly as possible large part of the ma
tional guardsmen. and advices recelv-
ed indicated entraining of the first
troops would begin at once. As fast as
they arrive in the south they will be
sent to the stations chosen. A part
will be brought to San Antonio and
held here as a reserve, but a large
part of them will be within sight of
Mexico when they get off the trains.
Gen. Funston did not announce how
many he has asked for nor the sta.
tions to which they will be sent, but
1t is known that he expects more
than a division, and it was said that
not less than $4,000 would be sent.
Secretary Lansing's note to Carran-
za's minister of foreign affairs was
read carefully by Gen. Funston and
members of his staff
Those officers familiar with the
temperament of the Mexican officials
regarded it as a communication almost
certain to sweep aside the barriers
holding apart the two armies. Already
the border army, made up CT troops
Of the regular establishment and the
militia men of Texas, New Mexico and
Arizona, comprises more than 10000.
The army already patrolling the in
ternational line is prepared to resist
any aggression the Mexican govern
ment forces might make, but it was
demonstrated some time ago that it
was not big enough to guard the long
line from Brownsville to the Pacific,
and army officers never have regard
ed it as strong enough to undertake
an invasion in force. Gen. Funston's
request for the guardsmen was for "a
number sufficient to give adequate
protection to the border" Officers at
his headquarters also felt that with
this increased force operations IN
Mexico on a big scale might be under
taken, but in the event of interven-
ton or any other action making neces,
sary a general forward movement In
to Mexico, Gen, Funston explained
that he would ask Immediately FOR
the remainder of the 100000 guards
men called to service.

W. C. LAsSETTER, ASSISTANT Dl.
RECTOR OF EXTENSION GIVE
EXCELLENT REASONS.
MUCH MOISTURE Is NEEDED
Farmers "Lay BY" Corn Too Soon, Ag.
rculturists Say, as Continual Moist
ure Is Needed BY Plant un-
ill Its Maturity.
Little Rock.

Little Rock
Ten tons Of water are required to
make Dushel of corn, and we must
do everything possible to increase and
maintain the amount Of available soil
moisture if we are to have a maximum
corn crop, says w. c. Lassetter, as
sistant director of extension, Univer.
sity Of Arkansas and United States
Department OF Agriculture. Our farm
ers lay by the corn too soon for the
best results. Every one should realize
that intense and late cultivation will
add bushels to our corn yields. Fields
cultivated by modern methods already
show a great advance over adjoining
fields cultivated by sweeps and turn
ing plows.
Various experiment stations have
found through careful experimental
tion that about 375 pounds of water
are required for the growth and ma
turlty Of one pound of dry matter in
corn Yet when the corn crop has ma
tured and has been cut and cured the
stalk, leaves and grain combined will
contain only about 20 to 80 pounds Of
water. What becomes of enormous
surplus required for growing the crop?
In answer, it might be said that the
corn plant is kind of wick used in
conveying water from the soil to the
air. With the plant food in solution,
the water in the soil is taken up by
the roots and is conveyed to the va
riOus parts Of the plant, and then is,
through the leaves, evaporated into
the air This evaporation through the
leaves is called Transportation. In other
words, during the period of growth of
the crop there is a continuous s(ream
Of water from the soil through the
plant and on out to the air. The pur-
pose of this continuous stream is to
carry plant food from the soil to those
portions of the plant which are IN
need, and when that is done the wa.
ter passes on to make room for more.

About three months ago Mr.. and
Mrs. Earl Baker, who live near Noun
tain Home, noticed their baby was
suffering with a strange affection. 1t
was supposed that the child had a
broken rib and the little one was treat
ed, but did not improve. A few days
ago the point of a needle protruded
from the child's side. The needle was
removed and the baby is well. The
needle had been used instead Of pin
to hold the child's dress and worked

Chief Engineer Pharr OF the St.
Francis Leyee Board was in Blythe
vile comforting with business men
and property owners relative 10 the
caving river banks at Barfeld and
Huffman.
A meeting was held in which the
proposition was gone over. A motion
made by T. w. Davis, unanimously
carried that the levee board build a
short loop around the caves at once.
This loop will be only about a quarter
OF mile in extent, and will be only
temporary, bridging over few months
until the government starts work on
the bank revetment work and con.
struction OF a permanent loop some
half mile In extent
Mr.. Pharr gave the citizens the IN.
formation coming from Maj Markham
of the government engineers, that the
Mississippi River Commission is 10
meet in st. Louis July 6, and that the
appropriation for the work would like
ly be available by that time and that
boJn Barfeld and Huffman bank work
would start Immediately. The bust
ness men meeting voted to attend the
st. Louis meeting and emphasize the
Importance Of the government taking
immediate action as to these two cav.
ing banks. Probably quite a few or
the large property owners will attend
this meeting of the commissioners.
The Barfield situation is not serious
in the sense that there is any imme-
diate danger of the river doing any
damage except that a high water
might come from the Missouri River
in July or August, as it sometimes
does. The river rarely ever gets out
of its banks except in the spring and
winter, and the only alarm occasioned
aside from this one cause, which is
remote, is that the banks continuing
to cave make larger loop necessary
anG thus destroys more of the high
priced land in that vicinity.
Engineer Pharr stated that Presi-
dent Thomalsom of the st. Francis
levee board would visit Barfield and
that in all probability the work on the
short loop would commence the first
of the week. The cost will be in the
neighborhood of $4,000 and is IN the
nature of an insurance policy against
any probability of rise in the Mis-
sissippi pending the commencement Of
the bank revetment work by the gov.
ernment.
