WILL BRING CROP INSURANCE PLAN UP IN CONGRESS
Farmer Able to Recover Part Expenditure If Average Yield Fails
Washington, April 12—“Crop insurance, under which the farmer will be able to recover a reasonable proportion of his planting and cultivating expenditures in the events of his failure to make an average yield is on the non-partisan farm bloc program for passage at the next session of congress, provided a satisfactory plan can be worked out,” Senator Smith, Democrat, South Carolina, said. A special sub-committee of the senate agriculture committee of wdiieh Senator McNary, Oregon, is chairman and Senator Keyes, New Hampshire, and Senator Smith are members, decided to begin hearings on crop insurance the last week in
April, i
Real Problem Says Smith
“There is a real problem in crop insurance,” Senator Smith said, “and our purpose is to provide a method by Which the 1 government, at small cost to the farmer, can insure him substantially all that he has expended in his effort to make a crop when he experiences complete failure, and to reimburse him a proportion of his expenses when his production is not
normal.

What the Week Developed in Europe Told in Tabloid
The execution by the Russians of Mgr. Butchkavitch, Roman Catholic prelate of Petrograd, is having a world reflex, chiefly in the direction of making more difficult the attempt of Russia to gain recognition and trade alignment. Pious Jews at Moscow attacked Communist celebrants who burlesqued the Passover Feast. - “-Aside from the efforts of 'labor leaders and socialists of Britain, France, Belgium and Germany to force a new basis for settlement of the Ruhr issue, the w r eek brought nothing, save increased bitterness, because of the killing of thirteen workmen and the wounding of fortythree at the Krupp plant in Essen. The Turks have agreed to meet the Allied powers in a new peace conference at Lausanne, between April 25 and 20. France is deporting many former German army officers from the occupied zone. Four additional mines and several small towns have been added to the occupied! area. England made peace with the Mahsuds in Northwestern India after a year of fighting, in which the British used aircraft almost exclusively agains the tribesmen.

‘More Miles at Less Cost”—Herrick Silent as to Quitting
A hundred and forty-nine Ohio farmers have entered in a contest to rear from a spring litter of pigs a ton or more of pork in six months. Thirty-six Indiana farmers accomplished this last year, and one raised 3,040 pounds of pork in six
months.

IN OTHER CITIES
Columbus, Ohio, April 12—With the prospect that he must await the expiration of Leon C. Herrick’s term as Highway Director, before he can carry out any of the policies announced with a view to breaking tne “stranglehold of certain highway material interests” on the Highway Department of Ohio, Governor A. V. Donahey outlined his views. Mr. Herrick’s resignation is not expected to result from the Executive demand, although it has been reported many times that he has been ready to quit. On the other hand, the Governor is fortified with legal opinion that he may atop operations in ip the Department at any time,-.-“More miles at less cost” is the Donahey policy. That he does not contemplate exhaustion of his power under the reorganization code was indicated today when he approved a few macadam contracts and bridge constructions pending before him. At the same time he rejected definitely the Jackson Oak Hill Highway in Jackson County, awarded by the Highway Director to Other Junk, a Chillictothe contractor. This rejection will be the basis of a mandamus suit by Joseph McGhee, former Attorney General, to test the power of the Director of Finance. The suit is a fnendly one and will supply an answer to the scope of the re-organt-zation code and determine whether the approval of contracts is a ministerial duty, performance of wiuch can be commended by the courts, or whether discretion is lodged in the Director of Finance.
Fraulein-Brides Of Yanks Forget Fear of Indians
New Arrivals Didn’t Find Savages Lurking in Every Corner
Cincinnati has opened a clinic to find ’ out how bad children get that way.
The fire department of San Francisco has instituted a course in fire rescue work for pupils. of the public schools.
Savannah, Ga., April 12-—Ameri-can mice, rats, cockroaches and palm trees. These are the four things that have most vividly impressed the little group of German war brides who have made their homes at Fort Shreven, near here, since their arrival on the transport San Mihiel. “The mice, the rats, the cockroaches—Ach! I’ll never forget them,” a smiling blue eyed “ffau” declared in explaining there were no posts such as these in Germany. Next to the rats and cockroaches, the palm trees were the biggest splurge of wonderment in the little foreign colony here. . Before their vbyage to the new world every picture of palm trees they had seen in Germany contained bands of savages in the foreground. When the San Mihiel began to pear the American shore and pa'ssed islands dioUted with palm trees, the fears of the war brides began to rise. When they were quartered in the bungalows built at Fort Screven in a clump of palm trees they began to look for bands of savages. Only after several days had passed without a raid on the colony by Indians, did! the thrifty housewivc? from the Rhine rest in peace.
PLANT LARGE CORN EARLY FOR SILAGE Planting the late maturing silage varieties of corn early and thicker than is the common practice has made the best showing in tests extending over a period of eight years at the Agricultural Experiment Station. i Blue Ridge, Eureka, Old Virginia, and other big silage varieties, when planted later than corn for grain production, give a silage containing
mote water and less nutrients than when these varieties are planted earlier. Common field corn or varieties that mature need not be planted so early for silage. The highest tonnage per acre of silage and total nutrients was obtained by having one plant every four inches in the row. This thick planting, however, lodged so badly that harvesting was difficult. A plant every 10 inches in the row and the rows 42 incheju apart was easily harvested and gave a ton and a quarter more silage per acre than 1 plant every 12 inches.

residents of Williamson county growing out of the Herrin massacre were dismissed by Circuit Judge D. T. Hartwell Saturday. The indictments were nolle pressed on request of Delos Duty, state’s attorney, following failure to obtain a conviction in the second trial. Indictments charging larceny growing cut of rioting in connection with the massacre, were allowed to stand and the state may later attempt to obtain some convictions on these accusations. Impossible to Convict “The county has been at a tremendous expense already, and although we have done our utmost to prove to two juries that these men were murderers and responsible for the riots, we have failed,” Duty stated in asking the court that the indictments be nolle pressed. “I am convinced it will be impossible to get convictions in • this county regardless of the evidence.” Assistant Attorney General S. W. Middlekauff, director of the prosecution as a special representative of Attorney General Edward J. Brundage, in a lengthy statement issued Saturday, declared “in'timidatioris, prejudice, and downright dishonesty” made it impossible to obtain an impartial jury or to convict any men in connection with the mas-
sacre.
Would Waste Time and Money “Justice, we regret to confess, cannot be obtained in Williamson County and it is a waste of time and money to continue with these cases,” Middlekauff said. The six defendants in the second Herrin mine massacre trial were acquitted of the murder charge in connection with the death of Antonio Mulkavich, of Erie, Pa., one of the 23 non-union victims killed by the mob which attacked the Lester strip mine during the national coal strike last June. The jury deliberated six hours and 55 minutes, returning a verdict shortly after 11 o’clock Friday night. The second trial of the mine massacre case w r as begun Feb-
ruary 12.
The men acquitted are Hugh Willis, Otis Clark, Befit Grace, Oscar Howard, James Brown and Phillips
Fontanetta.
Wills is a member of the state executive board of the United Mine Workers of America. Clark and Grace were defendants in the first trial in which acquittals were given the five defendants tried. The defendants in the first trial 'were charged with the murder of
d'iana. > Union miners of Williamson county hailed the verdict with joyful cele-
brations.
PRUNING GRAPE VINES
Grape vines are pruned back to two or three buds after the first and again after the second year’s gowth in the vineyard. During the third year one or two of the strongest canes are trained upon Wires, according to horticulturists. A serious mistake in pruning is to affow too much wood to remain. This results in a serious weakness of vine, and a loss in quality of fruit and late varieties [often fail to iripen their excessive crop. The varieties commonly grown yield best in the upright cane system of training. The quality of the fruit is not so good when the vines are trained to the spur system. It is usually safe to prune vigorous plants of strong growing varieties to about thirty buds distributed on four canes; weak plants should have fewer buds. Bearing Wood for the followin'' year is usually provided for by pn ing back several of the excess c' to one or two buds.
