Sept. 5.-—A jail delivery planned by two murderers occupying cells two floors under the cell s of Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, was frustrated by Warden Wesley Westbrook today. I Westbrook said he did not think the two youths were involved in the affair, but he said he would question them along with the other prisoners. Westbrook was warned today that a Jail delivery was planned. He made a search of several cells and discovered a rope, manufactured from a' suit of clothing, razor blades, a silo end some glass in the fourth tier cell of Morris Gogloswski and Josph Milewski is awaiting sentence for murder, '

r —— ■ —***• ■■■ ■* ■• ■ j ' Central Depot for Return Truck Loads I Os Great Benefit to Both Farmers and Truckers. (Pr«par«4 by tha Unttad States Department at Agriculture.) Investigations by the bureau of public roads of the United States Department of Agriculture indicate that a central depot or warehouse where trucks delivering farm products to cities may secure return loads is of great benefit to both farmers and truckers. A large number of trucks enter each of our cities daily bringing milk, garden and other farm products. Most of them return empty, so that half of the mileage traveled is without profit. Many have attempted to secure return loads by giving cheap rates and going to various points about the city to collect shipments. In some cases this has proved worth while, but In others it has been abandoned, ns the profits did not Justify the time and expense. In the city of Baltimore a number of motortruck operators nre main- I tulning Jointly a central freight depot. ' which, according to all of the truck i operators who make use of it. Is a . great success. Any freight or merchandise to be delivered to farmers I in the surrounding territory may be delivered at this station through the delivery system of concerns from > which purchases are made. A truck from the country after delivering the | Incoming load calls for the freight 1 consigned to points along Its route. This plan does away with the hit- j and-miss system of collecting mer- i chandlse all over the city from many , | different business and manufacturing concerns. One operator who has kdpt a record of his expenses and profits has found that his truck earned in one year a net profit of $2,362, of which fully 85 per cent was due to return | load earnings. Preparation of Seedbed Has Important Bearing The preparation of the seedbed has an Important bearing on ttie control of the Hessian fly, as well as on the ' yield of wheat Since Infestation in the fall wheat comes mainly ’ from two sources —stubble of previous crops and volunteer wheat—it is imperative that these sources be eliminated. This can be done (where wheat is not used as a nurse crop for clover) by plowing the land soon after harvest to a depth of about six inches. Care should be taken to turn the stubble under at least three inches of soil. The combined rolling coulter and jointer has j been found very efficient in the coveri Ing of stubble, weeds, volunteer wheat . and trash. ' If it is not possible to plow soon after harvest, the land should be thori oughly disked at that time. Disking not only conserves the moisture and makes plowing easier, but also starts the growth of volunteer wheat, and this Is conducive to the early emer- ' geneb of the fly. The land should be plowed to a depth of about six inches and worked down into a good seedbed. The soil should he kept mellow and free from vegetation until wheatseeding time. Selecting Seed Com I In selecting corn for seed pick ears from stalks which yield well in competition with others, are free from disease, and hang at a height convenient for husking, says the United States , Department of Agriculture. Drooping ears which shed rain readily usually will give the best seed, while in the South it is necessary to choose ears that are well protected from insects by a long, tight husk covering. Care ki selecting and handling seed will be more than repaid In increased corn yields, ''" ~ j fa rm Hint/ Early-plowed land brings more wheat. Rotate the crops In your garden as a preventive of diseases and Insects. , | Here Is a farm program worth in I apecting: Pigs, cows, hens, corn and alfalfa. • * • i More legumes mean more prosperity for farmers, business men and cone munltles. » » . Spray with nicotine sulphate or dust with nicotine dust all plants Infested 1 with plant lice. j What shall It profit a gardener to | raise vegetables and then let bugs and , worms eat them up? By lowering his initial cost of pro- , duction in whatever way, the farmer i usually adds to his profits. • • • P Fire in the buildings destroys present wealth; fire in the woods is worse —it destroys present and future j wealth. • • • Don't let the gardens grow up in grass where diseases can be harbored, i Clean up and burn all dead and decay- J Ing plants. • * ‘ Limestone does not become active Immediately so fields that are to be put in alfalfa next year should be limed this ytear, otherwise the acidity of the soil may damage the alfalfa before it has a chance to make a start.'

' Drainage Great Help to Gumbos Should Be Plowed in Fall When in Good Condition and Easy to Work. Soils designated by the term “gumbo" include those that are more, or ( loss gummy and sticky, and they are often poorly drained. Because they : contain n high percentage of clay, they do not drain easily. If an -attempt Is i made to work such a soli before It Is ; In proper condition, the results are | disastrous. | W. A. Albrecht of Missouri has ■ made a careful study of gumbo soils and the most satisfactory methods of . management. He recommends drainage as the first thing to consider. This Is best done by a combination of tile , and open ditches. The tile may be omitted, however, if the expense appears too great, for it Is necessary to lay the lines close together. The open , l ditch is madb in the natural water ' course and the field then plowed Into I permapent lands 16 to 20 rows wide so the dead furrow will drain into the | open ditch. Drainage Helps. Drainage helps to loosen the soil, | and after a few years improves Its i nature considerably. Corn should be plowed level so heavy rains can run ; off rapidly. The open-ditch method is the one generally used on land recent- I ly brought under cultivation. i The second Important consideration In the successful management of gum- | bo is a suitable cropping system, says i Albrecht. A popular rotation for gumbo Is corn, wheat, timothy and | clover. The corn Is cut as early as possible, the land disked and sowed to wheat and timothy. Late In tlie winter, when the ground Is “honeycombed,” clover seed is put on. The wheat may be omitted and timothy sown directly on the stalks, which may be worked down after the ground Is frozen. Alsike may do better than red clover. Oats are not recommended. Corn Is Favored. i Because gumbo is considered fertile there is a general tendency to plant It to corn. As a rule, however, it Is betiter suited to grass and small grains. Should wheat lodge badly, It will be necessary to use corn, but ordinarily iwheat Is preferable because it can be sown in the fall when the ground is in good condition. Furthermore, the fine rooting system of wheat improves the soil structure. • The third point to bear In mind with gumbo is cultivation. Plow In the fall when the soil is In good condition and works easily. , If possible, allow at least two rains on it before planting. Use a surface cultivator, for it will Stay up out of the sticky soil and form a dust mulch that prevents the grounil from cracking. Avoid large shovel cultivators and never work gumbo when It is wet. A little haste at such a time results In a hard-baked soil. Invite Suggestions for Live Stock Improvement Suggestions for new Information needed on live stock improvement are invited by the United States Department of Agriculture In a recent summary of results of the "Better Sires— Better Stock” campaign. During the progress of the campaign thus far the department has obtained information on the cause and prevention of runty Stock, the utility value of pure breds, the utilization of feed by good and inferior stock, and the meat yields of different c'asses of food animals. • Plans are now under way to get additional facts and dependable estljmates on a number of other practical questions. It Is on work that suggestions are especially ■invited. Such Information, it is believed, will greatly advance the work iof live stock Improvement. Coinmunit cations should be addressed to the bu- ' reau of animal industry, United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. Alfalfa Is Valuable Alfalfa Is valuable for dairy cows i and growing stock on account of its high protein content and its richness in mineral matter. For wintering i brood sows it is also desirable. A maI ture brood sow that receives one pound of corn per day per 100 pounds live weight and all the alfalfa hay she will eat out of a rack will produce a strong litter of pigs. A gilt should receive.a little more corn—at least one and one- ; i quarter pounds per day per 100 pounds . live weight. ' Cleaning Dairy Utensils ! 1 A good method of cleaning out the i dairy pails and cans at frequent intervals, to kill all bacteria and increase ■ the price of cream, is to use a little : lye in the water. The amount Is two I tablespoonfuls of lye to a gallon .of ! water. The lye unites with the grease ! and butterfat forming a soft soap which dissolves readily. This eliminates sourness and makes the pails come clean and bright with little rubl| bing ' Frogs and Toads Frogs and toads are enittled to our i protection on account of the good they i do In destroying vast numbers of in- ! sects and worms. The toads do this ■ln the gardens and the frogs In marshy places, where the air, on account of flies and other insects, would be almost unfit to breathe without the services they render. The department of Agriculture estimates the value of ! one toad to be S2O a year. i
