THAT IS TALKING TO YOU
CUSIHUIRIACHIC’S FUTURE
WHA TIT MEANS TO EL PASO
Those El I’aso business m«*n who
are considering tho trip Into tin- state
of Chihuahua to attend tho opening
pf the n< »’ branch line of the Mexico
North-Western railway, are wondering
what attracts such attention about
Cusihulriachlc, as well as what gal-
lant Mexican ever flared adopt that
mouthful of Indian syllables. That
the Cusihulriachlc district is destined
to be one of the richest In northern
Mexico, employing many men, and by
commerce, smalting and railway ship-
ping assisting In the industrial growth
of El Paso, Is not enough. Mr El
Paso wants to know what Cualhulrla-
chlc has to offer.
What It Means.
The opening (if (he Cuslholrlachlc
mining district will mean dollars and
rent* to Kl Paso. Eventually the dis-
trict will employ between 10,000 arid
12.000 men. common laborers and the
highest skilled engineers and experts.
These men will spend much of their
money In El Paso, the district being
located In El Paso's trade territory.
The ores from the mine will be large-
ly handled here by smelter and ship-
ped by the American railway* out of
this city. The value of the project to
this city can not ho estimated.
Not a new scene of mining activity,
the district Is about to come Into its
own. Difficulty of transportation from
the rich gold, silver and lead mines
of the section will be overcome with
the completion of the new branrh
railway which run* from San Anto-
nio, a station on the chihuahua divis-
ion of the Mexico North-Western rall-
j way, about 25 miles south by west to
| Cusihulriachlc. set between two
I mountains. This road will be formal-
j ly opened t n tober 2, and to this cere-
i niony Kl Paso business men have
been Invited. The Idea originated with
Juan T. Burn, the municipal chief of
Cusihulriachlc, and It was taken up
by Governor Abraham Gonzales, who
extended the welcome to the El Paso
chamber of commerce.
Many Mines Already
The oldest property In the district
Is the Helena mine. It has been
"dead," unworked for the heavy silver
and lead deposits, for about ten year*.
The property originally was owned
by New York Interests, but recently
has been taken over by a syndicate of
whbb some Northwestern officials
own stock. Then there are the mines
of the t'usl Mining company, a new
concern controlled by the Potter Palm-
er estate of Chicago. This property
Is one year old. Its output will he
Increased ten times after the eornple-
llon of the road. There Is the Prin-
cess Mining company, also a new cor-
poration with partly undeveloped
fields, and many other minor fields In
covering a wide range of territory,
A committee of the chamber of
commerce Is working to find how
many El Past an* wish to make tho
journey. The special car probably
j will leave here on Sunday, October 1,

The principal crops of broomcorn
are raised in Kansas, Oklahoma and
southern Illinois, although this crop
will grow In other sections of the
country where soil and climatic con-
ditions are favorable.
It Is a profitable crop, as the price
per ton for the brush usually ranges
from $60 for the lower grades that are
damaged by the weather, up to $200
andvover for the very best. The prices
for 1910 ranged from $140 to $190 per
ton.
In tho Southwest it Is becoming
more Important as a forage crop, and
Is used to a considerable extent after
the brush has been removed. The
seed has but small feeding value.
The soli should be plowed In the fall
or early In the winter, so that It will
retain as much moisture as possible,
About two weeks before planting the
land should be disked and ha* rowed,
and If necessary harrow a second time
before planting. Broomcorn Is a good
sod crop.
Broomcorn plants are very tender
and moke the most rapid growth In
warm weather. They will not stand
the cold of early spring like corn. The
seed will rot before germinating, or
If the plant germinates the growth
will be retarded by continuous cold.
When large areas are planted the
most convenient way to divide the
field into sections of about 10 acres
each, and plant at Intervals of about ay
week. The crop demands prompt at-
tention, and If this system of planting
Is followed there is not so much dan-
ger of damage, to the brush from rain
or becoming too ripe.
In case farm hands are scarce the
scarcity Is not so keenly felt, for there
Is not a very large crop that de-
mands attention within a period of a
few days. A few hands can take care
of comparatively large fields, and It
la much more convenient than to
plant the whole field on a single date.
The method of planting Is about
the same as for planting kaffir corn,
riant In rows about three feet apart,
and four to five Inches apart In the
row. The standard, due to Its large
growth. Is planted in rows about three
and a half feet apart.
Selecting good seed la very Import-
ant. Good seed should givo a germ-
ination of 90 to 95 per cent, and seed
should not be used that falls much
below this standnrd. By using seed
that gives a germlnAtlon test of 90
per cent, one bushel la sufficient
quantity to plant 20 aorpij, or two
quarts of seed will plant ope acre.
The soil should be In good condi-
tion when seeded, then the cultivation
should begin early and be repeated
frequently to prevent the slower grow-
ing plants. A sharp tpoth harrow
Is sometime* used Just aa the plants
are eoming tip.
After one good harrowing the field
should receive about two cultivations
i f medium depth, then the rest Of the
cultivation should be shallow so as
not to Injure the root system. In this
way the soil la finely pulverized, form-
ing a dust blanket which aids in the
conservation of moisture.
Broomcorn Is a crop that will not
stand In the field without great dam-
age after It Is ready to harvest. It
should be harvested Just as the plants
nre <mmlng Into full bloom, or when
the anthers are falling from the head.
The head of tho dwarf Is enclosed
In a sheat or boot. It 1* more con-
venient to pull the head than to curt
It, after which the boot Is removed.
The head* nre usually pulled and
piled In bunches along the row. The
brush from three or four rows t* piled
together, and after drying for two or
three day* Is gathered and atacked In
small rleks.
Recnuse of the great height of the
standard broomcorn It Is necessary to
bend the heads over to make them
easy to cut. The stalk* are bent at a
height of about 10 feet.
Two adjacent rows are bent diag-
onally across the Intervening apses
so that the portion of the stalks above
the sharp bend I* supported In a hori-
zontal pozlllon, with the seed head*
nf one row extending about two fast
beyond the opposite row.
This method Is called tabling. On*
man ran table aa foot aa two men can
cut. In rutting the operator walka
along th* spaces between the tables
and cuts the heads six or eight Inches
below the attachment of the straws.
The hruah aa cut la laid by handful*
upon every second table, making It
very convenient for loading upon a
wagon.
After drying the brush should still
retain the green color. To accom-
plish‘this tt cannot be dried In the
sun, as It will be bleached to a light
brown color. By curing in sheds the
original green color can be retained
to a large extent, and as such the
brush will command a much better
price. The average time of drying Is
about 30 days. It Is then threshed and
baled.

Will Be Allowed Free Hand In Dealr
lug With Turkey.
Associated Press Dispatch.
Washington, Sept. 23 Italy's de-
mand of Turkey tor cot. nt to the
establishment of an Italian protecto-
rate over Tripoli, which has been an-
nounced from Paris, is credited by
diplomats here to be the anticipated
early adjustment of differnces be-
tween France and Germany over Mo-
rocco.
The view prevails that Italy was In-
duced to refrain from asserting its
demand during the pendancy of the
Moroccan question by an implied pro-
mise that it would he left to deal
with Turkey with a strong hand In so
far as Italian right to the control of
Tripoli whs concerned. This promlao
it Is said, was given as compensa-
tion for Italy’s special concession ill
the extension of French Influence ov-
er Tunis and over German rights in
Morocco or the Congo country.
That the inhabitants of Tripoli are
apprehensive of trouble as a result
of the latest Italian demand, Is Indi-
cated In a report to tf> state depart-
ment from the American consul at
Malta, which said that fifty-throe
Italians and Jews passed through
Malta last niglt coming from Tripoli
and that more were reported to be an
route.

MUST PAY MINE TAKES SOON
Otherwise Owners Will Have Much
Trouble
According to Mexican law, Sept-
ember 30 is the last day of grace for
the payment of delinquent mining
taxes for the first period of four
months. In which the year Is divided.
If payment Is not made before that
date, mine owners are subject to the
penalty of action by the minister of
fomento.
But according to T. E. Sanchez, fed-
eral stamp collector of Ciudad Juarez,
from whose office mining taxes are
collected for the local district. It will
be the government’s policy to allow
all possible margin on account of the
revolutionary troubles which have so
seriously handicapped the mining men
of the state. Benor Sanchez departs
today for Mexico City on business con-
nected with his office.
The first period of the year com-
prises the months of July, August.
September and October. The payment
Is to be made In advance. If taxes for
the four months are not paid before
August, an addition of 50 per cent Is
