MURDER is CHARGE
AGAINST RICH MAN
Ell PasO Cattleman Held for
Killing, of Lyons.

FL PasO. Tex. June 4.-Thomas j.
|oggins, a wealthy. El Paso cattleman,
and r. NJ. Brown, alias Felix p. Jones.
are held in Jail here on charges of
murder in connection with killing on
the night Of May 16 of Thomas Lyons,
q wealthy cattleman of Silver City.
\. NJ. Coggins was arrested here to-
day. Brown was arrested at Beau,
mont. Tex, and brought to FL Paso
today.
Brown was identified today as the
man who met Mr.. Lyons at the FL
Paso union station and drove away
with him in an automobile the night
of May 16. That was the last time
Lyons was seen alive. The body was
found in a lonely house in the out
skirts of FL Paso. Mr.. Lyons came to
FL Paso in response to a telephone
message.
Neither Coggins nor Brown will dis
cuss their arrest. The police theory
is that Mr.. Lyons was killed by hired
assassins paid by enemies he made by
his relentless prosecution of cattle
thieves in New Mexico.

the late spring. Can you explain this ?
&c. L. O., st. Ignatius
Answer-The information in ques.
ton. that of planting heavily to make
for quick maturity was directly solely
to the dry farmers. Where plants
grow thickly they use up more mois-
ture to the square foot OF land than
where the vegetation IL more scanty.
lack of moisture causes a crop to
mature: everyone knows how a late
irrigation will retard the ripening OF
crop. Hence by planting the dry
land grain crops thickly they use up
the moisture in the soil q bit quicker
and mature earlier. In such planting
the extra seed planted to hasten ma =
turfty does not amount to a very great
deal. lest the mark be overshot. Early
planting In Montana Is about the best
form of crop insurance and where this
is followed the results have been uni
formly good. Get the seed in in time
to get the early rains and also to have
full advantage of every growing day
of the year That will make thick
planting unnecessary.

depends entirely on the amount OF
rainfall. In the eastern T:rrts of the
state where the rtinfaii is less tina n
near the, mountains alfalfa has done
best planted in rows about Sc inches
apart, using about two pounds of seed
to the acre. On the other hand, where
the land lies on the high benches or

SOME TIMELY
GARDEN HINTS

An axiom which many gardeners
seem to forget is that you cannot
have a garden without a hoe. This
year there are thousands of acres In
gardens that last year were idle. The
country's call for more food met a
ready response in every walk OF life
But while the intentions. of many OF
these new gardeners are Of the best
their experience Is lacking ana many
Of the gardens show 1t. Weeds are
more prevalent in the gardens this
year than for any season within recent
memory. Many Of our amateur gar
deners seem to think that once the
seed is planted their troubles are
over. In truth, they are just begun
There is wedding for them to do and
plenty Of it, not only wedding with the
hoe, but also by getting down on hands
and knees. real ck-breaking work
that brings its results in bigger and
better crops. No good garden was
ever weedy especially in the semi arid
west, where weeds spell loss of mois-
ture as well as soil fertility. II YOU
are expecting results from your gar.
den this year. get busy with the hoe.
Every hour you put in will mean in
creased vegetable returns this fall.
CutwOrms are having the time of
their life this year. One farmer recent
~ told how he had planted tomatoes
for the third time. Now there is little
or no excuse for that. Cutworms are
easily killed if one goes at it the RICH,
way. Take a couple of pounds oil
Paris green, about SO pounds OF bran, a
quart Of black strap or cheap syrur
and little water Mix these toeethe,
and place in the garden about 4
O'Clock in the afternoon. The cut
worms take the poisoned bait very
readily and the above described rem
edy is effective for field crops as well
as for the garden. Some people hand
pick the cutw0rms from the garden
or place collars about the plants to
prevent the worms getting at them but
the poisoned bran makes about the
most effective remedy Of them all.
Radishes and lettuce are one of the
garden crops that generally appear in
the early spring and which. through
successive Groupings. last through the
summer. The soil that produced the
early vegetables can just as we'll be
used for growing some OF the late,
crops. especially II the garden il a

Problem Difficult.
LOOK 10 MACHINERY
See that Everything Is
Ready for Busy Days to
Save Wasted Time.

In many parts OF the state the wheat
is already beginning to head. In other
localities having has begun. The sec
ond big task OF the year Ia confronting
the farnerAsof the state. It is fore
gone conclusion that there will be a
shortage OF harvest hands in the state
this fall, once the harvest starts in
earnest. The government may be able
to do something to help this. and again
it may not. 1t is patent that in this,
as in most other things, il the farmers
are going to be helped they must help
themselves. About the best thing the
farmers can do for themselves is to
plan ahead and make their work and
time go as far as possible. To this end
it behooves them to lOk at their har-
vesting machinery at once.
Often Left Unsheltered.
All over the state the sight Of bind
ers, sebarators and similar machinery
standing unprotected in the fields Is a
common one. Such machinery cam OF
stand exposed for an entire season and
still be ready to run the day it is need
ed. Work Is necessary to get It back
in running shape; 1t is that work which
should be done now. before the harvest
season starts in at full blast. Once
the season is started there will be
small chance for extra work, every
farmer in the state will need to spend
long hours in the fields II the crops
are to be harvested before winter sets
in. So get the repairs and odd jobs
done now before the harvest Is ready
for the binders.
Go Over Il All Carefully.
Look after the canvases on the
binders. If they have been hung uK
where the mice cannot get at them
they will be in good shape. if not the
chances are that they will have to b.
renewed. Look at the sycle bar on
the binder and see II the guards are al
there and that the blades are sharp
Go over all the cog wheels and grease
them thoroughly. See that the dogs
in the wheel are all catching. With
the separator, first clean it out thor.
oughly. Get the weed seed out of the
cracks and crevices. Weeds spreai
more easily from separators than al.
most any other medium. Look aftcl
the teeth of the machine, see that al
belts and canvases are in good work
ing order; in fact, go over the whole
machine. Now is the time to do it
before the harvest starts. Get bus,

New Settlers Forget Trees.
The settlers who have come into the

find on the average homestead. There
may be n valid reason for this. but It
Is hard to find. There is scarce o
