MEXICAN RAIDERS OF u. S.
TAKEN BY YANKEE TROOPS
Deemer and Payne, Captured in the
Glen Springs Raid, Are Rescued
by Soldiers.

Marathon, Tex, May 19.-The Mexi-
can bandits who raided Glen Springs
several weeks ago and killed half OF
the gallant little band of American
troops that garrisoned the town were
captured near Laguna del Fresno
los miles south of the border, by the
troops under Major Langhorne ana
Colonel Sibley. This word was brought
here by soldiers returning on truck
trains.
Six of the Mexicans were shot as
they tried to escape. The others, num-
bering about rs, laid down their arms
and surrendered without a move, &C.
cording to best reports on the aftalr.
These are the same Mexicans VINO
captured Jesse Deemer and Monroe
Payne, Americans, during the Glen
Springs ard Boquillas raids. Deemer
and Payne were rescued by Major
Langhorne before the clash with the
bandits occurred.

SEVERE LOSS BY LEAF CURL
Peach Crop In Some Orchards
Use Bordeaux.

1t has been estimated that leaf curl
causes an annual loss Of two millions
to three millions of dollars to the
peach industry of the United States.
It is largely responsible for the failure
Of the peach crop in some orchards
and for the short life of the trees.
The most familiar aspect of the dis
ease is the swollen, distorted appear
ance Of the leaves in the early spring.
When the disease first becomes appar-
ent, the swollen portions of the leaves
are usually of a light red or pink color
The affected leaves gradually turn yell
low, finally blacken and fall to the
ground. In some cases the trees may
be nearly defoliated, thus making it
necessary to develop an entire second
crop of leaves. This is a severe strain
upon the vigor and reserve energy Of
the tree, and unless it is well cult
waited, sprayed and fortified it may
be permanently weakened. The curl
ing and distortion of peach leaves
may also be caused by aphis or plant
lice, but the attack Of these insects

Speech in South lntimates President
Is Ready to Take Action.
Charlotte, N. c., May ga hint
that he may soon move for world
peace was dropped by President Will
son in an address on Saturday to a
tremendous gathering assembled to
honor the little band of mountaineer
farmers who 141 years ago announced
their independence of Great Britain
in the Mecklenburg declaration.
The spirit of these men could be
best translated by America today, the
president declared, if I'VE imagined
ourselves lifting some sacred emblem
of counsel and of peace, of accommo-
dation and righteous judgment before
the nations of the world, and remind
ing them of that passage in Scripture,
after the wind, after the earthquake,
after the fire, the still small voice, of
humanity
This expression was taken to indi-
cate that the president believes the
time is not far off when America may
give effective impetus to a movement
for worldwide peace.

RICH SOIL FOR RASPBERRlES
Northern Slope Is Generally Better
Than Souther!y One-Keep Land
Well Cultivated.

Raspberries do we'll on any rich
soil, but the suckering classes, which
include chiefly the red varieties, pro-
duce rather better in less heavy loan,
while the black-cap varieties do best
in a sandy loan. A northern slope is
generally better than a southerly one,
as it is less liable to injury from
drought.
All varieties need high cultivation.
Have the land we'll MANFRED and thor
oughly plowed and brought into the
best condition possible. The best fer
tilizer is weil-rotted manure. Set in
rows seven feet apart and at three
foot intervals in the rows. Put two
plants at a place. The distance be-
tween the rows may be lessened to
four feet il more space is not avail
able. Set in the ground about the
depth in the soil as the plants natu-
rally grew. Firm the soil well around
the roots.
Not more than two shoots should be
allowed to grow from large root
each year, and these should be pruned
off when IS inches high to encour-
age the growth of lateral branches,
because the raspberries fruit more
heavily on the laterals than on the
main cane. Keep the soil well cult

FINAL ACTION ON
THE ARMY BILL
REORGANIZATION Measure Passed
349 to rs.
READY FOR WILSON TO SIGN
Provides Standing Force of About 21a,-
600 Men and When Enlisted to
Full Strength Will Total
100000.

Washington, May 23-The army re-
organization plan developed in confer
ence between the senate and house
and providing for larger standing
army for the country, together with in
creased and enlarged defenses, was
approved by the house on Saturday
by vote Of $40 to 25.
The bill passed is known as the
Hay-Chamberlain army bill. AS the
senate has passed the conference bill,
the measure now goes to the president
for his approval. 1t has been figured
out that the bill provides standing
army of about 218,OO0 men, as COM
pared with the present standing army
of about 100000
But Representative Kahn of Cali
fornia, ranking Republican member Of
the house military affairs committee,
has compiled figures showing that
when enlisted to it's full strength. all
corps and departments being full, the
standing army will total $4,000 men.

Kahn points out, also, that in event

without congressional action, to draft
Immediately to fill all vacancies in the
federaliZed National Guard, which is
made under the measure part of the
authorized war strength of the coun-
try.
Besides the personnel increases, the
measure provides for a government
nitrate manufacturing plant to cost
not more than ,$2O,000,000; for estab-
lishment Of system of military
training camps for civilians, paid for
out OF the federal treasury; for a
board to investigate the ACCESSIBILITY
OF establishing government NUM-
lions plant, and for vocational edu-
cation in the army. liberalization of
the National Guard would be &C
complished through federal pay and
guardsmen subject to the orders of
the president.
Washington, May 23.-The admins

HOUSE VOTES FLOOD CONTROL,
Measure Authorizes the Expenditure
of $45,o0o,ooO on Rivers.

Washington, May 19.--The flood
control bill, providing appropriations
for the Mississippi and Sacramento
rivers, was passed by the house on
Wednesday by vote of $50 to So.
The bill now goes to the senate. 1t
would authorize the expenditure OF
not exceeding $45,O00,00O for food con-
troll and general Improvement Of the
Mississippi river under the Mississippi
river commission, and $5,600,0O0 for
food control, removal of debris, and
general Improvement of the Sacra-
mento river, including continuance Of
the California debris commission
plans.
The expenditures are to be spread
over a five-year period. The Missis-
sippi valley local interests are to CO.
operate with an amount equal to one
half of the $45,000,O00.

RED AND BLACK RASPBERRIES
Plants Should Have Shallow Culture,
as Roots Are Near Surface-Crop
Is Profitable.

Red and black raspberries should be
set six by six, which will require 1910
plants per acre. These plants must
have shallow culture, as their roots
are all near the surface. Many fine
plantations are almost ruined by deep
culture. The crop is profitable when
picked on time, and neatly marketed.
A grower can pay for his land in a
single season with good crop of ber-
RES.

If You Want White Glover.

Most of the clovers are biennials or
perennials. but not so white clover.
It is annual and propogates itself only
by seed. Therefore if one wishes
white clover in the lawn he must not
cut it SO short that no ripe heads Will
be formed to provide seed for the fol-
lowing year. Some people are always
sowing white clover in their lawns
and wondering why they have to re-
peat the process every year.

aphis do not become thickened and

The spores of this fungus live under
the rough bark and in the crevices Of
the twigs during the summer and win.
ter months, terminating early in the
spring and attacking the young 1eaTes
as soon as the leaf buds begin to ex-
pand. Cold, wet weather during the
months of April and May favors the
development Of the fungus and largely
determines the amount of injury.
Warm, dry weather tends to check the
growth of the fungus and under such
conditions the injury is slight.
The disease can readily he con-
trolled by a thorough application of
concentrated lime-sulphur before the
buds open in the spring. Bordeaux
mixture, applied early in the spring
before the buds start, also will control
leaf curl, but the lime-and-sulphur
mixture is advisable because it will
control San Jose scale as well.
