This will be the last appearance in Catholic high uniforms for live members; of the green ami white squad. Captain Itud Voglewi-de. Christen. Holthouse, Laurent and Schulte ■will be graduated this spring. A large crowd of fans, no doubt, will be out to see these five athletes perform for their .school for the last time. Speculation is rife as to which team will win the game. Some fans expect the experience of the Leaders to carry them through to victory, while I others say that the team work and training of the Catholic high boys! will prove superior. At any rate, the 1 game should be an interesting contest. ‘ .Both teams have had high expenses ] during the season which is coming to a close and the exihibition game will aid them to end the season in fairly good financial condition, providing the attendance is good. - - - o Ten Teams Survive Play In Second Day of Tourney Chicago.

Sbep s herd, charged with the murder of his • , wanl. BlUy McClintock, “millionaire orphan." William Scott Stewart , attorney for Shepherd, told Judge Jacob Hopkins of the criminal court that the burden of proof was not suffiicient to hold \ Shepherd without bond. S ale's Attorney Robert E. Crowe, broke in with the declaration that ' ithii was a capital crime and protest- • d against allowing Shepherd free- ! dom. Several witnesses were summoned to testify regarding the extent of ! the proof. “A prisoner is presumed to be in- - noc- ut until proven guilty except in r- one* case," Crowe told the court. y.j“And that is in the matter of bail. I i-j submit that this is a capital case and iljtheiefore the prisoner is not admis>f | sable to bail." ie' Dr. C. C. Faiman, head of a bacII teriological school, whose confession ir esufsed Shepherd's arrest, was then le put on the stand. Dr. Faiman said >' Shepherd came to hm in November of 1923 and asked about a course in bacteriology. Two days later Shepo iic-ril returned and asked about the y cot of etab'ishing a laboratory in his d own home, Dr. Faiman said. r, On this visit.

Need Seed for Success t Italian and Chilean Varieties Prove Unsatisfactory in Most Pails. iPi«t>*r«4 t>x th.

( If methods <au be found by which , •mail acreages of domestic red-cloven; 'teed can te conveniently harvested' and Lulled for home use, mure depend , ‘ en.e could be put upon the supply of . home grown seed and less would need to be imported. Clover Turned Under. It is known, euys the department, that throughout the country, east of the Allegheny mountains at least, there are every year thousands of aer. s of good second-growth clover that Is turned under Instead us being harveMed fur seed, because lu those neighborhoods no hullers are to be had and the farmer is not able to harvest and save the seed economically. If these farmers could save their own •eed. the drain on the market Stocks represented by their requirements would be materially decreased, and the seed produced In the states where it Is grown commercially would be. more nearly adequate to supply the demand. For at least IJfteen years the United States bus been a heavy importer of. red -'lover seed. Most of this seed has I come from Italy and France. Evidence- !■ accumulating to show that the, itaiian seed is not satisfactory for use In America. Co-operative trials which the department has been conducting with experiment stations in the Middle West have shown that the plants from Italian seed are much mure likely, to winterkill than those from Atueri-i can seed, that they are more susceptl ’ hie to certain diseases und that they often give a smaller crop even whetii the stand is otherwise apparently sat-J iffactury. Unsatisfactory Seed. As far as the Investigations us the department have progressed it was found that Italian seed is practically everywhere unsatisfactory and that. French and Chilean seed, while giving good yields tn some parts, is un- | satisfactory in lowa. Minnesota ami' elsewhere where the winters are seI vert*. Means of harvesting and saving the seed from the numerous small acre - ages of red clover instead of import Ing seed would do much to bring the clover crop Lack Into a dependable part of the rutatlon. Red clover is ’ pur ex<-e!leiice the restorative crop f->r rotations in the corn belt, says the department, but continued failures of Hie crop have caused a steady decline in acreage. This decline In acreage I over a h-ng period us years has adi versely affected the yields of all other crops involved In the rotation. The importance us home grown seed I is especially great In the southern and southeastern part of the eiover belt, where the anthracnose disease is common and often very destructive. Here piaMs that survive and produce seed - are quite likely to have some degree ' us resistance to the disease. I r Truck Crops Show Large Increase in Production That the American diet is becumfng mure and more diversified is indicated by the enormous increase in tlie pro- | duction of vegetables during the past ' three or four years. These crops, ac-' cord'ng to the United States Depart- , nient of Agriculture, had a gniss value of ,<ol3,ttoo.(xx) in 1924—an increase of 34 per cent over 1921. Over 2.3(X1,0<M) acres are now devoted to the growing of such crops as tomatoes, early Irish | potatoes, strawberries, cantaloupes, green pens, onions, lettuce, celery, cabbage, asparagus, cucumbers, snap beans, watermelons, sweet corn, spln-» - ach, peppers, cauliflower, carrots, egg- - plant and a number of others. The development of the canning ln- | dustry and the Improvement of euld storage, transpurtatlun und marketing facilities have made possible this improvement in the diet which Is so im- | portant to the health of the people - especially of those who are forced to; live In congested centers of population. - Truck crops, grown for sale, are a product of an Intensive agriculture.; They require much skilled labor, careful attention during tlie growing scaI son und on most soils the use of rutber li*avy applications of commercial fertilizer. in fact it does not usually pay' to put so much labor into these crops, without using plenty of fertilizer to insure profitable yields. | When Mammoth Clover Is Wanted for Seed Only , When mammoth elover Is wantedfor seed it is well to either pasture, the field until übout the first of June or clip it, leaving the clippings on: | the field to act as mulch. If short of- | pasture use this field of clover early; 'in the season for that purpose. How 'ever, if the fertility of the soli is of! most Importance, let the clover grow,' then in June roll or pole It down, going around the field lif the same direction that the mower will go. The, heuds of the clover will straighten up: and the seed crop can be hurvested without handling so much straw. Ry I this method a heavy growth of orI ganic matter Is left on the ground to i be turned under when the ground Is plowed for corn
