WASHINGTON, Feb. 14—Attorney General Daugherty ^aVe an “informal
Indiana farmers should not be misled by the efforts of some seed dealers to discredit the advice from experiment stations and the U. S. Depart1 ment of Agricultural against the use of Southern European clover seed. These people call attention to the high ’ germinating quality of such imported | seed and try to make it appear that ' this is the point at issue and that i there is really no cause for objecting to such seed. As a matter of fact germinating ability has nothing whatever to do with the question of adap tation to Indiana climatic conditions. The trouble is simply that red clover seed produced in southern Europe is not winter hardy enough for our climate, and no matter how well ’.he ! seed germinates or looks it is not satj isfactory fpr use in Indiana, “said Prof. A. T. Wiancko, head of the Soils and Crops department at Pur-
due University today.”

Teapot Dome committee today.
John Holland, secretary to Senator Walsh, Montana, read to the committee a letter from H. Foster Bain, director of the bureau of mines to former Secretary Fall in May, 1922. Daugherty’s opinion was given in the face of an opinion by a Standard Oil attorney that the proposed contracts constituted “an absuniity” under the law and were utterly illegal. In his letter to Fall, Bain suggested that Fall try to have Daugherty put his opinion in writing, to meet protests of Oscar Sutro, counsel for the Standard Oil company of California that the contracts were illegal. These contracts form the strongest part of the senate investigators “case” against Daugherty and Secre-
tary of the Navy Denby.
John C. Shaffer, publisher of a string of newspapers, told the committee he received $92,000 “for services’ ’in connection with Harry F. Sinclair’s payment to the Pioneer Oil company of $1,000,000 for claims to
Teapot Dome.
Shaffer said he had one eighth interest in the Pioneer but had performed no services and had put up no
money.

Italian clover seed sown in the spring of 1920 gave excellent stands but both were completely killed by the following winter, while seeding from Indiana, Ohio and Dakota seed came through in excellent condition. Seedings of three different lots of Italian clover made in the spring of 1922 winter killed 67, 68 and 82 per cent, respectively, during the winter of 192223, while the seedings from Indiana and Ohio seed came through in excellent condition. Similar results have been secured by a number of other experiment stations and the U. S. Department of Agriculture. In reporting the results of these experiments and warning farmes against clover seeds from southern Europe and other countries of mild winter climates, nothing has been said against the germination of such seeds which is usually good. The trouble is simply that clovers from those sources are not winter hardy enough for our conditions, and no matter how good a stand may be secured it will not live
through the winter.
Red clover seed from northern Europe has proved satisfactory in Indiana. Climatic conditions of France and other northern European countries are more nearly like those of the central western states. For the reason, however, that much southern European clover seed has been shipped to northern Europe for export, farmers should insist on something more than mere verbal statements as to the origin of the red clover seed. Where seed tags are marked “Origin Unknown,” the farmer should refuse to purchase such red clover seed.

PITTSBURG, Feb. 14—Rev. J. J. I Grady, 60, pastor of St. Francis’ Xavier Roman Catholic church, was turned over to the coroner today on a formal charge of murder in connection with the slaying of Anna McDonough, 40, his house keeper.
