MEXICAN LAND IS
 STILL UNEMPLOYED
Quintana Roo Is About to Yield Up Secrets to Intrepid Scientists

Washington, D. C., Nov. 2.-Quin- i tana Roo is neither the nom de plume of an eccentric writer nor the technical name of a bug, but is the everyday cognomen of one of Mexico's two remaining territories which has remained largely unexplored since the days of CorteZ.
 Now the territory seems about to yield up more of its secrets" says a bulletin from the Washington, D. C., headauarters of the National Geo. graphic society, flor modern trans portation has appeared with the arri- val recently of an American caterpil- lar tractor which is pushing its way into the dense forests to bring out cabinet woods.
 Has Rolling Pampas.
 Knowledge of Quintana Roo here tofore has been confined chiefly to strips of it's coast along the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico and the northwestern boundary where 1t touches the state of Yucatan. The world knows little of the interior. es- pecaily in the southwest, except from rumors and fugitive reports from gatherers of chicle, the gum which keeps Americas chewing gum indus try and America's jaws going. The far interior IS said to have great rolling pampas where stock-raising would doubtless be profitable, while the southern section is covered with dense forests of tropical trees and a n oD n Y and vanilla.
 As in nearby Yucatan, the ter rtory was formerly the land Of the Mayas and contains numerous ruined cities evidencing the heights to which their civilization attaned before the arrival of Cortez. Neither Spain nor Mexico entirely conquered the rem nants of the Mayas, and after one of the largest rebellions in 1910 the Indians retired into the fastnesSes of Quintana Roo. Only a few are sup posed to be left, however, and the territory is the most sparsely set tied region in Mexico. In its area, once and half as great as that of Maryland. the inhabitants are esti- mated to number around 10000 about one person to each two square miles.
 Includes Cortczs Landing Place.
 "Quintana Roo constitutes tho cast ernmost land of Mexico. It lies along the Caribbean coast of the peninsu- la of Yucatan - the thumb which with the finger of Florida, almost surrounds the Gulf of Mexico.
 "The east coast of uintana Roo is largely low and sandy, much Of il edged with mangrove trees and lacked by cocoanut palms. At a few points are high bluffs. All along the coast, a mile or so off shore, is a coral reef which makes navigation difficult and dangerous.
 of the northern coast Of Qnin- tana Roo lies the island of cozumel some thirty miles long by ten wide. There Cortel first landed when he sailed from Cuba on his mission to conuuer Mexico. cozumel now, like narts of the mainland. is devoted to the growing Of henequen, the fibre plant that brought prosperity 10 the State of Yucatan. Cabinet woods and ebicle with henequen make up the bulk of Quintena Roo's products"

F O r INFORMATION
County Fund For Handling
Crasshopper Poison
At Cost

Grasshoppers are Matching out in
large numbers in several sections of
the county. County Agent Barber
reports that they are beginning to
do serious damage In the Jackson
and North Declo districts where the
soil is sandy and hoppers started to
hatch out early. They are just
starting to hatch on the heavier
sells and the indications are that
the damage which will be odne this
year will be much more serious than
that of last year unless those in
the infested districts watch the Sit
uaion very close and begin to poi
son before the hoppers become large
enough to do very much damage.
Mr.. Barber says that the County
Commissioners have provided a
fund for the handling Of poison and
materials for controlling the grass
hpppers. These materials are now
on hand at the County Extension
ONCE in 1Burley and are being sold
s'.sost. The cost of the materials
Ia Merry low and the hoppers can be
controlled at very low cost per
acre.
All necessary information in con-
nection with preparing grasshopper
bait and applying it to the land can
be secured from County Agent ].

"Wo have had a slumpless sum

fore have experienced.
"In our record for the year, we
have just about kept pace with the

"It has been the enclosed car at a
moderate price which made this pos
sible, said Mr.. Lewis. The models
for 1924 have now been announced
by several leading lines, and all of
them have chosen not to continue
with their own distinctive ears, and
not to attempt to enter cOmpe-
titive market with the Hudson and
Essex coaches.
"In the warm days of summer,
motorists have wanted the enclosed
car because Of it's protection from
dust and because, when fresh air is
particularly wanted an actually
more complete supply can be obtain
ed in Ii a.coach than is possible in an
open car because the motorist can
regulate at will the amount Of air
which he wishes to admit.
