Laredo, Texas, Sept. 13. 1915.
My Dear Mother:
Well, we are here at last at Laredo
and believe me things have changed
since I left last July to do to Zapata.
There are about $4,000 troops all around
US, the company streets are like streets
in Augusta. with sidewalks. and big
mess houses 70 feet long and all SCREEN
ed in and the great Y. NJ. c. A. tent
about 100 feet long with writing tables
on each side and pen, ink and paper all
free. moving pictures three nights
week, a piano and victrola going all
the time, all free of charge.
We made a great hike back from Ia
pata, we four. Companies. NJ. l.. L. ano
K, made 81 miles in 4S hours. sup
pose that sounds like some story, but 1t
is fact. We made 80 miles the first
night and the remainder Of the journey
the next night. We reached Laredo at
$50 o'clock in the evening. Just as we
got to the edge Of the city the End Maine
Band met US and we marched up
through the city and I guess there was
a million people at the square, and OF
all the cheering you ever heard! When
we got to camp we were bunch q
tired boys. but we have had some greaf
feeds since we landed. Yesterday We
had beef steak, gravy and potatoes. and
this morning we had corn fakes, milk
and sugar "a great rarity) baked beans,
catsup, cucumbers and coffee. Isn't that
pretty good? 1t is wonderful to us fel
lows. I got both Of your letters yester-
day and when I read Of the dinner you
told me about was wishing was there
but will be soon, 1 think. heard last
night that we would start for home Sat
urday, If the officers could get the re-
ports made out by that time. 1t came
straight too. but it will not be mon:
than two weeks anyway. We get paid
of today or tomorrow and 1 will go
down town and see if can get you
some souvenirs. I bought you a hand
bag and 1t came right from Mexico. l
was on the river guard when Mexican,
came across and I bought it Of him for
dollar, for 1t was quite pretty. But
last night we had an awful rain and it
was in box under my bed and it got
soaking wet. so 1 don't know how 1t will
look after it is dried There was about
six inches Of water in the tent all night
and it is still raining We killed rat
tie snake on the hike up here. We were
marching along and heard him rattle
One of the boys hit him with a gun and
killed and skinned him. He had three
rattles and button. 1t is a wonder he
didn't bite some Of us as we marched
right by him and didn't see him. 1t was
about four feet long. A fellow got q
skin seven feet long, short time ago.
Some snake! We get the rest Of our
clothes today. white collar and all KHAKI,
coats and new hats, pants. leggings and
shoes. We will look swell when we get
to Augusta. I am black as a niger

GROWS MEXICAN BEANS
NEW BRANCH OF AGRICULTURE
IN COLORADO.
Of Any Of the States Many
Valuable Products.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver-Among the best crops of
Colorado's harvest this fall will be the
Mexican bean. according to reports
received from the rural sections of
the state AS the summer has been
an exceptionally dry one. the bean,
which is the hardest crop raised in
this state, probably will give the larg.
est yield per acre of any crop.
The raising Of the Mexican bean il
practically a new branch of agricul-
ture in Colorado. 1t has been known
for some time that the soil and eli
larly adapted to the culture of this
crop, but growers have been wary of
planting beans on account OF the low
market price in this state The price
offered by eastern Colorado dealers is
only or cents pound. while the
Mexican bean is retailed In Kansas at
two pounds for % cents.
J. G, Wills, rancher of Arriba, has
seventy-fiye acres of beans planted on
his ranch in Lincoln county. He re-
ports that since planting 1,10O pounds
of seed in June he has not had to pay
any attention to the crop in the way
of labor Although the plants suffered
from drought for a month and half
two heavy rainfalls in the middle of
July brought out the pods, and the
crop improved Immediately
After the beans are harvested Mr..
Wills expects to get 500 pounds per
acre from his crop. This will make a
total OF 1880 pounds for the entire
seventy five acres which, retailing at
the low price OF cents pound, Will
mean return of $l,S75. He estimates
his cost as follows: Cost OF seed. $50 !;
planting, labor. s3s: harvesting and
threshing. 5000; making total OF
s2ss- His profit on the seasons crop
will amount to about $1,000. AT the
present time the production of the
Mexican bean is rather small in thia
state, but farmers who have had expe
rience with 1t say that 1t makes one OF
the best crops grown here.
