BORDEN DEFIES THE
ENGLISH SUPERAGETS
Tells Them He Has No Idea
of "Urging Enfranchise
ment of Women.
London, Eng., Aug., 29. The Cana
dian premier, Robert L. Borden, when
he faced the suffragets for the first
tim, today, told them emphatically he
had no power to introduce a general
measure of suffrage for women in the
Dominion of Canada and that no
threats of the employment of militant
methods would have any influence on
him.
The declaration of the "Women's
Social and Political union was intro
duced by Miss Barratt. She stated
that their chief object was to ask the
Canadian premier if he intended on
his return to the dominion to introduce
a government measure for the en
franchisement of women. She declared
that the "Women's Social and Political
union was considering a campaign to
advise intending emigrants to go to
Australia and New Zealand rather
than to Canada.
On Mr. Borden's reply, she said,
would depend the advice the union
gave its Canadian members and also
the possibility of a militant agitation
in Canada.
Mr. Borden was very explicit in
stating that he had no power and no
intention of introducing Into the do
minion a measure for the enfranchise
ment of women. The question of the
franchise, he said, devolved entirely
on the nine provincial legislatures
and the dominion parliament had no
warrant to pass such legislation.
Mr. Borden concluded:
"I should like to say with all re
spect, I think the Canadian women are
capable of judging for themselves in
this matter. No suggestion of the em
ployment of methods of any kind will
have the slightest influence.''
Mr. Borden later in the day receive'd
a deputation of members of the Anti
Suffrage league, which congratulated
him on holding his ground against
the Women's Social and Political
union.

MORE RAIN FALLS
AT ANTHONY, N. M.
Upper Valley Hay Crop Is
Damaged; Lightning
Burns Out Phones.
Anthony, N. M., Aug. 29. After two
days of comparatively clear weather,
the rain fall last night was .62 of an
inch, "bringing the total of the month
up to 7.05 inches or nearly the average
yearly fall. All work of all kinds is
practically at a standstill. No alfalfa
is being cut and the roads are in such
a condition that no hauling of any
kind can be done. The wheat stacks
are all sprouting while the bean crop
is all gone. The only crop that is not
hurt is the corn and there is fear that
smut, caused by the unusual moisture,
may set in and damage that crop.
The lightning that accompanied the
storm put the local telephone system
out of business. A bolt struck the
store building of Vicente Gutierrez and
tore the plaster off the wall, turned
over and went down the door screens
and into the ground. Another bolt
struck the wires of the telephone In
front of the row of buildings on the
west side of the track.

0L0VIS FAER TO BE
BEST YET GIVEN
Premium List Aggregates
$1,000 and Many At
tractions Secured.
Clovis, N. M-, Aug. 29. The fifth an
nual county fair to be held at Clovis
September 27 and 28 promises to be
one of the greatest surprises for all
who attend that New Mexico has ever
given. Premium lists aggregating $1,
000 for the best crop stuff and live
stock have been raised, besides other
interesting attractions.
The first county fair was held four
vears ago, and while the attempt met
with splendid success, the county fair
has not reached sufficient proportions
to command state-wide attention until
the present year. The abundance of
rain throughout this section of the
country for the past two months has
put the crop conditions In the best
shape that the country has ever known
and already there id awaiting the
sightseers and investors, a scene of
activity and agricultural development
that is good to look upon. The county
fair this year will be enclosed in a huge
tent, which has been provided for by
B. D. Oldham, president of the chamber
of commerce: and other adjacent build
ings have been donated for the two
days attractions.
An old fashioned free basket dinner
picnic, races, contests and other amuse
ment attractions has been provided.
The countv fair is under the manage
ment of H. A. Armstrong, editor of the
Clovis Journal.
RAINS HELP CROPS
IN MIDLAND COUNTRY
Midland, Texas. Aug. 29. Rains have
fallen intermittently over a consider
able area of the Midland country In
the past few days. Much good has
been done to tfte ranse and the forage
crops have also been benefited. Cot
ton in this section is looking about
normal, the crop is expected to make
about one-third of a bale per acre.
Considerable broom corn has been suc
cessfully raised on which the farmer3
expect a nice profit.

FARMING
MORMONS SEND WHEAT
TO AGUA PRIETA MILL
Before Rebels Arrive, Much
of the Grain Is Sent
to the Border.
Douglas, Ariz.. Aug. 29. Anxious to
save as large a portion of their wheat
crop as possible, the Mormon colon
ists of Sonora are sending the grain
to theyAuicrican Milling company in
Agua Prieta. Several thousand bush
els have been received up to this time,
it is stated. Such grain as was not
purchased outright has been placed in
storage.
The wheat crop of Colonla Morelos
tills season amounts to approximately
3S.O00 bushels and represents wealth
to practically all of the colonists.
Threshing has been completed. The
season has been excellent and the fear
of losing the fruit of their labor is
what is keeping nany of the colonists
in Morelos until the last moment.
The flouring mill in Agua Prieta has
not yet been opened for business, but
probably will be within a few weeks,
should conditions warrant
HEBREW COLONY IS
LOOKING TO VALLEY
Douglas. Ariz., Aug. 29. Favorably
Impressed with the reports received in
connection with the Sulphur Springs
valley and desirous of coming here
with $15,000 capital If answers to a
list of questions propounded satisfy
them are the membership of the He
brew Farming Pioneer association, of
Detroit. Mich., according to a letter re
ceived by the chamber of commerce.
The letter says in part:
"I wi3h to state that much consid
eration was given to Arizona at our
last meeting. We want to live together
in the form of a village.
"Can we get land In the same valley
under the desert act?
"Is some of the land ready to plow,
or will it have to be cleared first?
"Is there anv forest or timber?
""What will be the cost of pumping
plants for irrigation, per acre?"
Secretary Grindell has written as
complete answers to all questions as
possible and anticipates the coming of
the representatives in the near future.
COTTON LEAF WORM
HURTS COTTON CROP
Austin, Texas, Aug. 29. Informa
tion has been received by the depart
ment of agriculture that the cotton leaf
worm has appeared in several counties
situated in the northwestern section
of the state and is proving disastrous
to the cotton now almost ready for
picking. Prof. E E. Scholl. state en
tomologist, said that the principal
complaints are from farmers residing
In Mills county. He said that the out
look is not very bright in view of the
fact that that section of me state has
recently been visited with heavy rains.
These rains are calculated to cause
the propagation of these worms,
which prey on the cotton leaves and
also on the bolls.
HEAVY SHIPMENTS OF
ALFALFA MADE FROM I1ELEX
Belen. Ariz.. Aug. 29. Alfalfa ship
ments from Belen continue in large
numbers. Several carloads are shipped
out to other points each week. The
quality of the Belen alfalfa is very
good this season, and favorable con
ditions have contributed to make an
excellent growth, with the result that
there are large quantities of hay be
ing raised here.
GARBAXZO SHIPMENTS ARE
DOUBLE THOSE OF LAST YEAR
Nogales, Ariz., Aug. 29. Garbanzo
shipments through the port of, Nogales
out of Sonora have already nearly dou
bled the entire output for tne season
of 1911, during which time nearly 300
cars were shipped, while up to date
nearly 600 have been shipped to Porto
Rico, Cuba and elsewhere, via New
Orleans.

CORN FROM HALF ACRE
Plainview, Texas, Aug. 29. C. H.

EXQUISITE PEACHES
RAISED IN ARTESIA
B. McWhorter, of Artesia. N. fe. in
the Pecos valley, sends to TTTe Herald
through S. E. Ferree, of Artesia, a
basket of as fine peaches as this mar
ket ever knows. The fruit is laj-ge, firm,
ruddy and mellow, and of exquisite fla
vor. It is to be hoped that the time Is
not far off when the fine products of
the Pecos valley will be shipped this
way as a common practice. Instead of
being sent into less profitable mar
kets in the north and in east Texas.
El Paso lias received some fine sam
ples of peaches this year from all her
surrounding rich valleys, but the sup
ply on the market has at no time been
sufficient.

FAEBUNG
HOPPERDOZER IS
USEFUL INVENTION
In Kght on Grasshoppers
Its Work Is Best Seen
in Larger Fields.
State College, N. M., Aug. 29. The
following bulletin has been issued by
the experiment station of the State
college: 'A
"In a recent noticeffhe experiment
station recommended the use of the
hopperdozer as a means for getting rid
of some of the grasshoppers in fields
after a damaging infestation was no
ticed. This present notice gives in a
little more detail advice as to the con
struction of the hopperdozer. Preven
tion is the best remedy of all and the
hopperdozer is at best only one means
for ipsKPnincr the severity of the at
tack. From the nature of the ma-,;
chine it will be seen mat it is most
effective if used early in the season
before the hoppers have reached the
adult, winged stage. At that time the
"nymphs." or young noppers, can not
fly out of the way, nor can they jump
so far but that they usually strike the
machine somewhere. And, once the
liquid is In the pan. they are less able
than the adults to crawi, swim or jump
out. However, since the hoppers die.
even if only wet with the kerosene and
then escaping, the great difficulty In
the way of catching the adults is that
they fly up and away far enough not to
strike the backstop, and so escape.
Still, enough are caught to lessen the
damage appreciably if the use of the
hopperdozer is persisted in.
Measures for the preventing of, the
hatching of the eggs are to be first
considered. Then watch closely to see
if many young hatch out, and if they
do, use the hopperdozer when thej are
young, do not wait and watch to bee if
the hopperdozer will have to' be used.
Use it and then watch. Every young
hopper killed means a saving in what
It would eat to grow to maturity, and
it stops any risk that more eggs than
ever will come from this rising genera
tion before being killed, possibly.
The hopperdozer is manifestly better
adapted for field work. Usually small
patches may be cleared in ways suited
to them In particular.
The essential parts of a typical ma
chine are the pan, the backstop or
shield, and the runners or wheels for
transporting the machine.
A hopperdozer to be pulled by hand
may be made by taking sheet iron, bet
ter If galvanized, and making a pan
eight feet long and one toot wide, with
front, side and ends two inches high
and the back turned up one foot. Or
the back may be made about four
inches high and the extra height made
by canvas on frame. Triangular end
pieces may be put in and the- whole
riveted and soldered till water tight.
Runners made of two by four inch tim
bers or of metal, such as old wagon
tire, should be put under either end
and allowed to project about a foot in
front of and behind the pan so It will
ride better. The rope for pulling the
machine is fastened to the front end
of the runners. It Is better if the
1..4...1. c .nnrio :n tHf nnwer is aDnlied
I at the end, for example, a man or boy
at either ena, leaving tne space m
rectly in front of the pan open. A
partition in the middle of the pan keeps
the liquid from slopping too much. If
the hoppers are in the older stages,
the one foot back may be too low. In
that case increase the height with a
canvas shield as desired for back and
ends. A strengthening cleat across the
bottom and up the back of the pan
helps greatly. A device to scare up
the hopper before the edge of the pan
reaches them Is made by tying a small
rod or pole to the hitch ropes bo it
will drag parallel to the front of the
pan.

SUCCESSFUL
Kelly & Pollard Induced Dr. Howard Co.
to 3Inke Special Prices.
After a great deal of effort and cor
respondence, Kelly & Pollard, the pop
ular druggists, have succeeded in get
ting the Dr. Howard Co. to -make a
special half-price Introductory offer on
the regular fifty cent size of their cel
ebrated specific for the cure of consti
pation and dyspepsia.
Dr. Howard's specific has been so re
markably successful in curing consti
pation, dyspepsia and all liver troubles
that Kelly & Pollard are willing to re
turn the price paid in every case whe-e
it does not give relief.
Headaches, coated tongue, dizziness,
gas on stomach, specks before the eyee.
constipation and all forms of liver and
stomach trouble are soon cured by this
scientific medicine.
So great is the demand for this spe
cific that Kelly & Pollard have been
able to secure only a limited supply,
and everyone who is troubled with dys
pepsia, constipation or liver trouble
should call upon them at once; or send
25 cents and get sixty doses of the best
medicine ever made, on this special
half-price otrer with tnelr personal
guarantee to refund the money if it
does not cure.

rro TTnl diner Moving: Effort
Fails and Big Deliv
eries Are Made.
Austin. Texas. Aug. 29. For more
than a week cotton has been coming
into market with a rush all through
central and south Texas. Reports made
bv nins show that the records of many
of tnem for this time of the season
have been broken, and there is no m
dfcation that the heavy movement will
soon be over. What is considere da
significant feature of the unusual sit,
uation is that Practically all of the
cotton so far gathered has been mar
keted and this policy of the farmers
promises to continue throughout the
season if prices hold up to their pres-
enThetanefforV to organize a holding
movement among the farmers has
fallen flat and it Is not expected that
It will receive much support even later
in the season should prices arop. it
Is claimed that more cotton is Koing to
market in south and central Texas a.
this time than ever known -at this
early period of the season. A" the
compresses in the region where pickln-.
Is in full blast are running day and
night and some of them are far hehlnd
with the supply on hand. In marketing
their crops as fast as picked the farm
ers are actuated chiefly by the present
satisfactory prices and the uncer
tainty of obtaining more for the staple
if it is held. The experiences of many
of them in holding their crop last year
in response to the advice of manipu
lators and politicians were very un
satisfactory, as they finally disposed
ot their holdings at prices considerably
below what they might have obtained
earlier in the season.
It is claimed by bankers throughout
the state that they are amply able to
make all necessary advances to carry
distress cotton and that the scheme
to interest foreign capital in behalf of
the Texas cotton fanner is wholly un
called for. For the most part farmers
of this state are In good financial
shape and their outstanding accounts
with the bankers and merchants are
comparatively small. With ample
warehouse room provided at nearly
every town In the cotton belt and with
ample credit at his disposal, the farmer,
when he is so disposed, is able to hold
his cotton on his own account, it is
claimed. ,
The low price of cotton-seed Is caus
ing farmers no little discontent.
About ?15 per ton is being paid for the
seed, whereas only a year or two ago
the product brought double that price.
Charges are again being openly made
that the cotton seed mills are in a trust
which fixes and regulates prices. The
matter will be brought to the attention
of the attorney general. It is stated,
with the view of causing an official
Investigation of the complaints of
farmers and prosecution of the mills
for violating the anti trust laws of
the state.
SUBHtRIGATION TO BE
TRIED IN HOWARD
Second Bale of Cotton of the
Season Is Marketed
at Big Springs.
Big Springs, Texas, Aug. 29. X num
ber of Howard county farmers are
turning their attention to the subirrl
gatlon proposition, and the chances are
that another year will find a large
acreage In the Big Springs country un
der this system.
The second bale of cotton was
brought in by A. K. Merrick, who re
sides five miles northwest of town.
The bale weighed 542 pounds and sold
for 11 1-4 cents, in addition to the
premium offered for the second bale.
It was purchased by C. F. Morris.
TOBACCO MAY BE
RAISED AT ARTESIA
Artesia, N. M., Aug. 29. Tobacco
rajsing may develop into an import
ant industry In the Pecos valley. A
small patch on Main street and one
on the Boyd place show vigorous plants
with well developed leaves that are
said by experts to be above the aver
age. Truck gardeners and ranchers
are watching the experiment with con
siderable interest with a view of put
ting In a crop next year If It proves
successful.
The cantalope association is ship
ping two carloads or cantaloupes per

FARMING
TELLS HOW BELGIUM
FARMERS USE CREDIT
Rural Banks Supply -Funds
for Handing Crops
Annually.
"Washington, D. C Aug. 29. Minister
Larz Anderson has completed the in
vestigation of the cooperative credit
systems of Belgium which he under
took in connection with president
Taft's attempt to establish cooperative
credit In this country for the benefit of
the American .farmer.
The first attempt made in Belgium to
relieve the farms from the burden of
high interest rates was essentially a
governmental undertaking. It is In
teresting to note, however, that the co
operative idea as developed in Ger
many was later adopted in Belgium
and has largely supplanted the plan
adopted by the Belgian government, at
least so far as the smaller landowners
are concerned.
The societies in Belgium, as In Ger
many, are served by central coopera
tive banks. In Belgium these central
banks supervise the management and
audit the books of the rural coopera
tive banks. They also guarantee loans
made to the rural banks by the General
Savings bank. In 1S94 a law was
passed setting aside 1,000,000 francs of
the funds of the General Savings bank
which was to be loaned to the rural
banks at the set rate of 3 1-4 percent.
In order to enjoy the benefit of this
law a rural bank has to become a mem
ber In a central cooperative bank and
has to have the central banks guaran
ty for the loan. The central bank re
ceives a commission of one-twelfth of
one percent of the Interest charged as
rayment for this surety. These central
