Washington, June 5.—A reitort just
given out by the Secretary of the Fed-
eral Department of Agriculture shows
that. 20 per cent of the area planted
in winter wheat in the United States
has been abandoned on account of
crop failure. Texas shows up unnsu-
good for ajjy we]] with only one and one-half
per cent abandoned. The wheat crop
of Oklahoma and Kansas is a partial
failure on account ot the heavy winds
and rains which have prevailed in
those states. The Department of Ag-
riculture estimates that 10:5 per cent
in Oklahoma and 18 per cent in Kan-
sas has been abandoned. Illinois re-
ports the greatest abandonment, which
is 53.5 per cent of the *-ntire acreage.

ments in the Scott will contest were
begun yesterday morning, end will be
concluded early this afternoon. Judge
Buck allowed each side five hours for
tlte argument and this afternoon he
will deliver the charge to the jury.
Judge W. P. McLean, jSr., opened the
argument, speaking for the plaintiff.
Judge W. I. Stephens, representing
Mrs. Elizabeth Scott, the defendant
was next. He was followed by Joe H.
Barwise, who spoke in the interest of
Mrs. Townsend, and A. J. Clendenen
followed Mr. Barwise, representing
Winfield Scott Jr., the chief beneficiary
under his father's will.
George Thompson concluded the ar-
guments for the day, speaking for Mrs.
Townsend. After his /plpa an unusually
pathetic scene was witnessed. Mrs.

dress, and when he had finished she
was assisted from the court room by
her nurse.
At the beginning of the morning
session B. D. Cramer, business agent,
for the Scott estate, was placed on
the stand. Mr. Farmer said that the
Elizabeth building, Thirteenth and
Main streets, which VV. T. Pittman,
formerly an ice manufacturer of Gran-
bury, said Mr. Scott told him he was
going to give to Georgia, was at the
time of the conversation the property

cerning the letter which was dictated

rapher, during his last illness and
which Mr. Tucker had torn up by
order of Mrs. Scott. Judge Buck an-
nounced however, that he had ruled

Chihuahua. Mexico, June 4.—Fen.
eral Paseual Orozco, chief of the revo-

City by Emiliano Zapata, rebel leader
in the south.
An emissary from Zapata was today
informed by Orozco that he would per-
mit the attack on that Mexican capital
provided the southern leaders would
not molest foreigners and could domi-
nate the situation. The sending of the
qnvoy to Orozco confirms earlier
claims of the rebels in the north that
they are acting in unison with those
in the south against President Madero.

Wichita Falls. June 4.—Neither sat-
isfied or discouraged by the failure of
last week’s rain-making bombardment
local parties are agitating the repeti-
tion of the experiment, but on a much
Broader scale. They want the farmers
In Baylor, Clay, Wilbarger and Archer
counties to join in the movement, pur-
chase a full carload of the explosive,
and have the rain-making explosions
extend over the four or five counties.
It is believed that this plan would
'prove effective, and if the co-operation
of the residents of the other counties
mentioned can be secured, there Is
every reason to believe the attempt
will be made. Long-distance conver-
sation this morning lietween a Wichita
Falls business man and C. W. Post of
Post City who has Hticcesafulh brought
rain with dynamite, developed that the
humidity of the air must be at least
70 tK.'fore the experiment can succeed.

The contract with the putties pro-

without avail. But they are not of the
