A MEXICAN control over Santo Do
"A mingo was strengthened this week
by the ratification of two treaties be-
tween the United States and the
Caribbean republic.
BY one of these treaties Santo Do.
mingo confirms all the acts Of the
American military occupation, which
lasted from 1916 to 1924. Among the
acts so confirmed were the levying OF
taxes, the granting of concessions, and
the floating of loans through American
bankers. The second treaty rearrang-
es the distribution of Dominican
funds, which are under American con
troll 1t also extends the treaty forced
upon Santo Domingo in 1907. The ex
tension is to run until Santo Domingo
pays off it's debt on the loans floated
by American bankers in 1918 and
1922.
Bankers Scheme.
THE new treaties grant the Amer
ican customs receiver general OF
Santo Domingo the power to apply
revenues for paying interest and
amortization on these loans, and in
addition opens the way. for a new
loan of $25,OOO,OOO to be fioated in the
United States. The bulk of the GUS
toms revenues collected by the Amer.
ican receiver general is applied to
novfpU oef fha Avoov;oo,, hoo1,orc. o,,I.,
what is left is turned over to the
Dominican government.
The purpose of these treaties was
to extend American control over the
Dominican republic. Americas excuse
in 1904 for invading Santo Domingo
was that the native government was
having trouble with foreign creditors,
chiefly France, which threatened to
send warships to collect the debts
claimed by its bondholders. In 1922,
when Santo Domingo's bonds were
held by American bankers, the state
department thought that the Carib.
bean republic was paying off it's debts
too rapidly, and was approaching the
point where it could claim complete
freedom. In June 1922 Secretary OF
State Hughes announced that the
United States would withdraw its
troops, if Santo Domingo signed
treaties recognizing all the acts of the
American military occupation, extend
ing the 1907 treaty until its debts tC
American bankers were paid off, ex
tending the powers of the American
receiver general of customs and open,
ing the way for new loan by Amer.
lean bankers. II these treaties were
ratified, Secretary Hughes declared
elections could be held for a native
government and the United States
troops would be Withdrawn.
Resist Loan.
THE treaties were secretly nego.
tiated in 1924, after which. Amer.
ican troops were withdrawn and the
present native government Of Santo
Domingo was elected. When the Sc.
crecy surrounding the treaties was
lifted, nationalist Dominican leaders
vigorously protested against what they
considered Americas attempt further
to enslave their country. Seventeen
out Of the thirty members Of the
native chamber of deputies signed a
Pact Of Honor" in which they bound
themselves not TO vote for the
treaties. They declared that these
treaties involve "a serious danger for
the sovereignty Of the nation;" and
that the contemplated $4,000, ,OOO
loan which is the basis and the
motive" Of the new treaties implies
the prolongation Of the state OF sub
ordination to the United States for a
period OF time ranging from 25 years

apart in rows feet apart, and one
half cup Of carbon bisulphide wa:
poured into each hole. This treat
ment was applied in July, and We
got 90 per cent kill. The same
plan was followed in the fall Of the
year when the morning glory was
IN more or less dormant state, with
no results.
Bisulphide Is Killer
Bisulphide is one OF the most Of,
| fectiye killers known, but it must
be applied in high concentrations a;
a time when the plant ia growing
vigorously. The injury to the soii
is not permanent, as the gas soon
disappears. In fact, the soil is ac-
tually benefited by the treatment.
The principal objection to the use
of carbon bisulphide as weed kill
er is the cost not only of the mater
ial but the application. By apply,
ing the liquid at the time Of sub
soiling, at the rate of about so gal
Ions per acre, the ground can be
treated with practically no addition
al cost for application.
We have fixed up n two-bladsd
subsoiler with small pipes running
, down each blade to apply carbon
bisulphidc. We will try out this
spring experiments which we hope
will result in ih economical method
Of using carbon bisulphide.
Cuts Down Crops
| Last year tho Salt River Valley
Water Users association spent $lO,,
900 cutting johnson grass along the
canals aud bitches. According to
Dale Bumstead, president of the
Arnoua Horticultural society, the
production of tho Salt River Valley
was valued at $23, 100000 and would
have been s3O,000,00 but for the
Johnson grass. In getting rid OF
any perennial weed, il is Il question
Of diligence and persistence. There
are many methods which may bt
used, but the important thing is to
decide upon one method and stay
with it; otherwise, we may find that
the best method is that commonly

speare's day the gentle arts Of read
ing and writing were colfin. d to a
very small minority. Considerable
progress had been made from the
dark times when such matters were
exclusively II the hands of the
monks and scriveners. but the pos
session of one or both OF these
graces was still mark Of unusual
education and scholarly attainment.
Not a few of the upper classes were
able TO read, but writing was com
paratiyely rare. The professional
ictterwrltar still Aourished, his
services being Indispensable to the
uneducated masses.

ed. and rightly so. to a cultivation
OF tie manner in which these rudi-
meatary arts are employed. No
longer is il question: Can you
read. Can you, write? One asks
instead: What sort OF books do you
read? How well do you write? The
gauge OF a mans culture and edu-
cation lies in the measure of his

with force.

tops. 1t has been found that small
patches of camel's thorn can be
eradicated in one year BY keeping
the ground loose and moist so as
to stimulate growth and pulling the
plants up instead Of cutting them
off.
We have tried spraying various
weeds with various chemicals such
as sulphuric acid, calcium cyanide,
borax, sodium arsenite, chlorine gas,
mineral creosote, and acid sludge,
and with various combinations of
these materials. To date two spots
of Johnson grass have been killed
with the first applications. Most of
these experiments were begun this
fall, and we hape TO be able to tell
you more about the results obtained
next spring.
Several experiments were tried

that distillatc will penetrate the
mature burrs, destroying the seed.
The green burrs are too full OF
moisture to permit the distillate to
enter, but can be destroyed by a
second application. This ia neces,
sarv, because some of the seeds will
sprout and grow oven when tho
burrs are not fully mature.
Will Continue Work
We have spray rig equipped to
spray runcture vine and have treat
ed all infestations along county
roads during the past season. This
work will be continued next season.
Salt was applied to several small
patches of johnson grass and morn
ing glory. About u inch of dry
salt was spread over tho infested
area, a dyke thrown up about the
patch and the water held over the
patch for 81 hours. Morning glory
was killed with one application. A
few spears Johnson grass appear
ed some wcc',s after tho application
but these wero easily destroyed.
We do not recommend salt on culti'
Vatod land, however, except when
the infcstation is III areas of not
more than 100 to 200 square feet.
Several spots of Johnson grass
ranging from 500 square feet to five
acres were killed in three weeks by
placing n dyke around the patch
and flooding during the months OF
July and August. At least six inches
of water should be held on the patch
during that time. Ten acres of
ramel's thorn were killed in the
same manner, except that the water
was held On the infested area for
three months instead of three weeks.
Two patches Of morning glory were
held under water for year. Two
months after the water was taken
off, the morning glory was growing
fine.
May Take Long Time
The length of time it will take to
smother out morning glory, and
weeds of similar habit, will depend
upon how extensive a root system
has been allowed to develop. In "A
cultivated field, where no particu-
lar attention has been paid to the
weed, n very extensive root system
will sometimes develop, which may
take three. years or more to smoth-
cr out. On hard ground, or in an
old alfalfa field or pasture, the root
system will not usually be very ex-
tensivc, and can be readily smoth-
cred out in one sason.
Under our conditions, flooding is
probably the cheapest and most cf
fcctivc way of Graduating Il pcrcn'
nial weed, if properly done. How,
ever land which is. sandy should NOT
be flooded, rs there is danger OF
water logging. On some Of oul
infcstations, we are recommending

the weeds.
Patches OF morning glory and
johnson grass from 100 to 800 feet
square were smothcred by first disc
ing the infested area into Il fine
mulch. leyeling, and covering with
Thermogen paper. The paper should
be we'll covered with dirt or barn
yard manure so that it will not
blow away. Johnson grass treated
in this manner is entirely dead at
the end of the first year, but morn.
ing glory should be left covered for
not less than two years.
