PL0W EARLY FOR WHEAT.-H0UsT0N

Early plowing for wheat IN being
urged by A. y. Houston. Grady
county farm agent. Few farmers
realize the Importance OF plowine

Houston declares. saves the mois
ture and makes soil conditions more
favorable for manufacturing and
storing plant food for the coming
crop. II gives the soil plenty OF
time TO settle into compact seed
bed. Mr.. Houston asserts. adding
that this causes early termination
OF the seed wheat-a quick start and
immediate growth-all OF which is
necessary TO insure blk yields and
good quality. as well as excellent
pasture.
Mr.. Houston has been advised OF
an experiment made at Manhattan.
Kansas. Two different plots of the
same field were used In making the
comparison. One was plowed In
July each year; the other In Sep
tember. the usual time on the aver.
age farm.
Based on the August prices In
Kansas City. the total value OF the
wheat from September plowed land
In eleven years was Sl7S.69 an acre.
From the July plowing the return in
IL years was s277.9i an acre. repre-
senting a profit of s1Oi.22 an acre
over the amount realized from the

Eighty acres plowed in July for IL
straight years would produce ss.327

experiment.

Houston comments, "the necessity Of

Action When Orders Federal
Troops Out to Combat Rebel
Bands In Country.

Mexico City, July 19.-Presldent
obregon decided today upon a mailed
fist" policy when he ordered all
federal troops to mobilize for a con-
certed drive to crush rebel bands.
Soldiers were withdrawn from gar

to the country with orders to con-
tinue a campaign against insurgents
until all rebellion was stamped out.
The order is considered as highly
significant by political observers.

evidently fears the growing strength
of rebels may lead to the concentra-
tion of all lawless elements under
one leadership, thus becoming a real
menace to Obregon's power.

trict, was on display as a horrible
example, today at Zacamixtla. Thir-

Washington, July 19.-The govern
ment today embarked on a momen-
tous test of strength with the six
hundred thousand striking coal min
ers.
In directing the governors OF the
2S coal producing states to protect
the mines of all operators willing to
resume coal production, President
Harding has thrown down the gage
of battle to the United Mine Work
ers of America, probably the most
powerful single body OF organized
workers in the country.
Should the presidents plan fail to
bring about a large increase in coal
production within short time there
will be but one course open to the
overnment-seizure and operation
of the mines.
In his call upon the 2S governors,
Harding has in effect ordered the
mobilization of more than 100000
arHleu men oh the Siue VI INC pupiN'
1t was estimated. First Of all the
governors can call on the local
authorities such as the police and
deputy sheriffs to provide protection.
If these forces prove insufficient
the national guard forces are to be
modified. If the guardsmen prove
ineffective federal troops will be
sent to their assistance. Should the
trouble be too widespread for con-
troll by these forces the government
will induct the national guards of
non-coal producing states into the
federal service and detail them to
duty in the coal producing states.

declared, however, that this law
could be nullified by the declaration
