AGENT’S T COLUMN That Canada thistle can bo eradicated by cultivation has been shown by several Indiana farmers, according to O. C. Lee. extension weed specialist of Purdue I'niversity, who points out that the successful demonstrations provide convincing evidence that cultivation is a practical method of eradicating areas of Canada thistle that are too large for spraying with sodium chlorate.

CHAPTER XXXVII The detective drew up a chair. “Let’s go back and begin at the beginning. I've told you already about this poor fish Fowler, Crozier’s private secretary—how he acted on orders from his boss by long distance, when Mrs. Crozier's wireless came into the office yesterday, took the cash to the pier to pay the duty on the emeralds, and left it with them and Miss Fcnno and your son and a safe-deposit husky in a taxi—” “A guard. I think you said, from the Gotham Safe Deposit Company—” “That’s the first catch. There ain’t no such animule.” “There was no such guard?” “No such safe-deposit concern—not in the wide world, much less in New York City. Fowler, of course, knew that.” “Showing that he was in on the plot!” “Proving worse than that; anyhow. pointing to wickeder conclusions It turns out that Fowler had everything all set to take it on the lam last night in his own automobile—blow out of town for parts unknown. We have found out that he went back to his flat, told his wife he'd had a hurry call from old Innes Crozier to meet him in Chicago, packed a bag, and lit out like all possessed. A little while later he gets his ear out —tells the garage attendant he’s going to spend the night with a friend in the country. Al! we know about his movements between that time and near midnight is that he went some place—to some speak-easy, for a bet—and hoisted in a skinful. About twelve o’clock he parks his car in Fiftyfifth just off Broadway, and blows into the Haymow all lit up and wild-eyed.” “ ‘The Haymow’?” "Night-club in the Bellamy Hotel —the toughest joint in town, bar none. Seems Fowler's had a crush on a cutie in the Haymow show for months—he’s been hanging round the dump so steady everybody knows him —and life to him. with his nose so wet. ain’t worth the living unless this particular moll will chuck it all and go to share his lot in the sticks —wherever he thought he

was heading. He was right, at that,” the detective dourly concluded; “his life wasn’t worth living; so, about one A. M., Fowler ceased to live it.” “Suicide?” “It amounted to that when he 1 bulged into the Haymow again after j being nudged out once by the bouncer. It seems his girl-friend 1 told him he could go roll his hoop— 1 the back-country was all right in 1 its place, but she wasn’t taking any; ! and Fowler got mutinous. So they threw him out. In ten minutes or . so he ambles back, asking for more 1 —and gets it—talks large and loose till the Haymow’s home team of gorillas edged him into the wash-room pumps him full of lead, and disperses.” “They murdered him!” “How old-fashioned that sounds!” Crane mused. "But I know what you mean, and you’re right. Fowler knew too much and let out too much in his liquor. So they gave him some pills to stop him from spluttering information all over Probabilities are. he was due to get the dose in a day or so. anyway; he simply made them give it to him. the foolish way he acted, before they were ready.” “Are you telling me, my friend, yon believe this Haymow crew had knowledge of the kidnaping?” “That’s exactly what I’m telling you. Listen The Haymow's just a side-show of the Bellamy, hang-out of the hardest mob in town. If they figured they had to bump Fowler off on the premises, it’s a moral he had ’em pretty desperate. They’d have stood a lot to stave off what a killing meant to their show—that the police would be obliged to act, even if they didn’t want to, pile right in ■nd take possession Anyway, that’s what happened. There was any number of plain-clothes hulls and Federal dicks seeded in the grill worn ctowd, as usual, and the gun play in the wash-room was their signal to get active Inside fifteen minutes there was a cordon ■round the hotel that « mouse couldn’t have

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT WEDNESDAY. MAY 2. 1931.

According to l*e, farmers who I have signed up to reduce their crop acreage ean take advantage , of the opportunity to clean up . their weedy fields by including them in the contracted acreage and applying • persistent cultivation. Spraying with sodium chlorate is recommended for small patches, hut is too exjienslve to use on areas of one half acre or more in size. Lee points out that areas to be sprayed should not be- disturbed in the spring by cultivation for the patches of thistle should

nosed through; but by that time, of course, it was too late; the murder committee had scattered like rats. And—brace yourself, old boy," Crane only went on with frank reluctance: “it looks like they worked it some way to take your kid and Fenno Crozier with them.” Lanyard's features stiffened; the gleam of his eyes grew bleaker; he made no other sign, but at the end • of a brief wait quietly requested: I “Tell me. please, why you think i that.” “Because we know for a fact both ' the young ones were in the Bellamy 1 at some time during the evening, but gone when the Homicide Squad

When the bulls looked in there, squawking m th< took charge and combed it from roof to sub-basement for the rodmen that had croaked Fowler. We know they were taken there from the pier, because their bags, the two they fetched in by plane, were found on the top floor —Maurice’s in a sit-ting-room, still locked and strapped, the girl’s in an empty bedroom adjoining, where it had been opened and ransacked for the emeralds, then kicked under the bed. There was a third room to the suite, another bedroom; and when the bulls looked in there, they heard a woman kicking and squawking in the clothes-closet. They let her out and found she was the floor-clerk, half smothered and hysterical, but right there, all the same, with a yarn.” “A confederate of the mob’s?” “Say if you think that Bellamy bunch would put anybody they couldn’t count on at a floor-clerk’s desk you're cuckoo. Outside of that, however, the cops had nothing on the dame. The way she tells it, about the middle of the evening your son and the Crozier girl and Fowler were shown up to the suite —registered, according to the si p the bell-hop handed her. as ‘Mr. James Hooper’ and ‘Mr. and Mrs. James Hooper Junior,’ of Philadephia. No, she didn’t see anything of anybody wearing a Gotham Safe Deposit rig with them, and didn’t take particular notice of the bellhop, either—says it might have been any one of the dozen, for all she remembers. Incidentally, none of the punks will admit having taken the party up, and neither of the elevator donkeys remembers carrying them, but that’s only to be expected.” “But how did the floor-clerk account for being locked in the closet?” “Coming io that In about half an hour, she says, TTooper Senior—that is. Fowler—eased out of the

His suggestions for application follow: Apply with a sprayer at the rate of two gallons per square rod. A second and third .application should lxmade at approximately six week intervals to kill all plants that survive. The resprays need not be as heavy as the first. The amount necessary to kill Canada

middle bedroom, the one they found Miss Fenno’s bag in, and took the elevator, but didn’t so much as nod to her in passing. Sometime later, Mrs. Hooper Junior called to her from the door to the other bedroom —said she didn’t know how to work the dial telephone, and would the door-clerk kindly step in and show her. As soon as she was inside, some one took her from behind—presumably Mr. Hooper Junior — crammed a handkerchief in her mouth to keep her from screaming, wrestled her into the closet and locked it. That’s all she knows. Anyway, that’s her story.” “And very interesting,”—Lau-

Thank you.” “Heaven knows you’re welcome,” I Crane grunted, “to all the comfort i you can take of what I've hail to tell ' you.” • “But I get quite a bit, believe me.” I “You call it a comfort to know ' your son and the girl were spirited , out of the hotel by the gang that | did for Fowler!” “You forget that part of the woman’s tale which is borne out 1»y her imprisonment in tha closet and I which proves, at least, that Maurice and Fenno—tricked somehow into stopping at the hotel to be robbed j and held captive—either were given or made an opportunity to attempt i their escape. Circumstantial ev.- ; donee, furthermore, would seem to show that the attempt was success- . ful.” “How come?” the detective de- | manded in a stare. “How d’you make that out?” “I’m afraid you have not stopped, my friend, to consider all the connotations of the - ' i timeliness, which you have laid L . stress on. the fact that the mob ! . couldn’t wait to get Fowler away i from the hotel, proves that they : were in a panic. And why such a ■ panic if not because their other vic- ! tims had contrived to escape and were even then at large, in a ppsi- | ■ tion to utter information that mfeht I well result in the hotel’s being raid- • ed at any moment and Fowler's si- ’ multaneous arrest? And Fowler ’ the only party to the plot, in all likelihood, whom those children • could identify—the make-believe safe-deposit guard having van- - ished—and whose testimony would > undoubtedly incriminate the ringleaders!” f “Mavbe so,” Crane thoughtfully : . i allowed. • I (To Be Continued)

’ thistle will approximate three pounds per square rod. Sprayed areas should not be disturbed by burning or cultivation until th*' • following spring at which time i they can be plowed and sown to I crop. When handling sodium I chlorate keep in mind that there Is great danger of fire where > chlorate comes In contact with 1 organic matter. Keep the spray j off youf' clothing and do not spill lit in or near buildings where it I may create a fire hazard Arens of thistle to be killed by cultivation should be plowed in the spring bnt not sown to crop, says Lee. The area should be cultivated often enough to keep all plants below the ground during the entire summer and fall. It may lie necessary to cultivate every week during the growing season. When the plants are kept down by cutting them off below the ground and are not permitted to produce leaf growth, the roots will soon become exhausted an I die In their effort to send up new plants. When cultivating use a disc or duckfoot cultivator or some implement that will cut the plants off under ground. The cul tivation must be thorough enough to prevent any leaf growth. Once the plants are permitted to reach tin- sunlight they immediately gel a new lease on life and much of the work of eradication is undone. — - - ■ -o Fathers and Son—Wrestlers MANITOWOC. Wis.
