 Attendance of the Cotton Grading school which is being conducted by the College of Agriculture, Univer- sity of Arkansas at Fayetteville is increasing daily. Numerous inquir- ies are being received by Edgar A. Hodson, assistant agronomist at the College of Agriculture, in charge of the cotton grading school.
 It is expected, from the applica- tions which are now coming in, that by the time the second course opens on July 18th, 50 persons will be ready to enroll for. the grading and chasing work. The course IS at tracting so much attention that those in charge are arranging to have all of the Smith Hughes agricultural teachers in attendance at the summer school at the University to take the course.
 Practically 10000 cotton samples have been secured for instructional purposes. Among these are several hundred samples donated by big cot ton buyers of Memphis and other cities. A fine lot of samples have been brought from the Lesser Cold man company, showing practically every grade and length of staple.
 Small green caterpillars which have been observed damaging the cotton crop near Van Buren are known as the cotton square borer, ac- cording to a statement from w. J. Boerg, entomologist of the College of Agriculture, University of Arkan- sas.
 The caterpillar in a velvety green, from one half to three quarters in length, and oval in outline, states MT. Baerg.

Make Boundary
 Lines Show Clearly

Vancouver, B. C., July 17.-So that miners Hooking to the new silver strikes in the Portland Canal country may know at all times on which side of the boundary they are prospect ing, boundary lines between Canada and Alaska are to be clearly defined this summer.
 Several Canadian government engi- neers were here recently on their way from Ottawa to Prince Rupert, where they will start north, working along the lines. They will procede northward until they meet a party of American government engineers who are at work south from the Unuk river, 100 miles north of Prince Ru- pert. A trail cut fifteen years ago along the boundary will be cleared and new cairns and monuments erected.

LABOR PROBLEM THE HARDEST NUT
NEW MEXICAN REGIME HAS TO CRACK

labor demonstrations have been
! punctuated by cries of viva la So
Wet viva Russial' or other slo-
gans pertaining to Bolsheyism or
"he triumph Of the proletariat" It
is that phase OF the Mexican labor
situation that is creating uneasiness
today and will demand the full at
tention Of the new president, Obre-
gon.
It is not the purpose, here, to
dwell on the justice or injustice Of
the Mexican laborer's cause. For
years, undoubtedly, he was one Of
the poorest paid workers in the
world and it took little to satisfy
his wants But today, the Mexican
day laborer, who year ago proba-
bly, was receiving two pesos, one
dollar. daily, is demanding four OF
five pesos The increases asked are
greater Of course, as the skill of
tie particular job is enhanced,
In the past three months strikes
have been almost perpetual. They
have occurred in every part of the
country, from the Texas border to
the state Of Yucatan They have in
cluded the coal miners in the state
OF Coahula, the textile workers in
the state Of Puebla and the vicinity
of Mexico City the railway shopmen
employees of the oil companies at
Tampico, the stevedores at Vera

ed and there has been formed the
"Communistic Federation Of the
Mexican Proetariat' which repre-
sents the extreme left oi. Mexican
labor. Thus, situation has been
created similar to that which our
own Samuel Gompers experienced
namely a struggle for the upper
hand between the conservatives and
radical labor elements. Thus far,
the Mexican Federation of Labor,
which is designed to maintain par
allel lines with the American FEEDER
alton of Labor and Of which the
Communistic Federation is an off
shoot, has retained the majority.
The Communist element, as a
meeting which the writer attended,
attempted recently to call general
strike in Mexico City There were
ample vivas for Trotzky and Lenine.
but the strength Of the reds was
not sufficient to swing the strike.
Obregon has two principle rem
edies for the present critical situa-
ton He believes, first, that one Of
the difficulties is the lack Of an adj /
equate labor law apd one Of his
first acts as president will be to in
troduce a bill before congress set
ting for the privileges and the du
ties" of both capital and labor Sec
ondly, he considers that the indus
trial development of Mexico, which
he predicts viii be tremendous now
that peace is established, will ere
ate such demand for labor that
the situation will automatically ad-
just itself The latter belief is good
logic hut Obregon may, or may not
realize that the launching of this in

Washington When General Alva-
ro Obregon finished with his enau-
guration as president Of Mexico the
olher da. end took ever his desk
in the national palace, his iirst rc-
mark to the newly appointed cabi'
net was probably something like
this:
"Now then, gentlemen, let's get
to work on this labor situation"
Obregon may not have used just
those words, but he realizes with
all certainty that Mexico,s induslri;l
situation represents the most criti-
cal internal problem that the coun-
try faces today Obregons friends
declare that had he been able to OK

following the overthrow of Carranza
Mexico would have escaped the del

created by the Mexican working man
