1t Leads TO the Tnaccountable Falling on
of Berries
What is called by some a new disease
was developed IN the Lake Erie grape
region of western New York last year.
The Grape Belt discusses It at length.
Il is tine unaccourtable falling off of
berries before or as 500 as they have
attained their full size. Profs Bailey
and Lodeman. OF Cornell university,
have investigated the matter at length.
Dry weather at the critical time seems

this was made nor injurious by lack
Of potash Il is well known that vines
require a large amount of potash in
ripening their fruit. If potash is de-
fcient and wet weather follows. the
grape mildews or rots. If there is too
little moisture for mildew the berries
drop from their cluster. In some vine
yards last year the loss By Smelling was
fifty per cent. of the crop; in others 1t
was not more than FIVE per cent The
dropping ot the berries came on late in
August and early in September. Vines

 Buchanan entered Part III of the court of general sessions with his lawyer, Will liam +. Howe, botimeS He was neatly dressed in a suit of dark clothes and seem- ed cheerful. He chattcd unconcernedly with Mir Howe and nodded to the court attaches whom he knew. He looked much stouter and in better health than when he was on trial He has gained 20 pounds since he went to Sing Sing prison two years ago.
 Assistant District Attorney Davis began by requesting tho recorder to fix a day for Buchanan's execution. MT. HOwo then rose and said he desired to notify the Re corder of his intention to appeal the case to the United States supreme court. II know your honor has no discretion in son. tencing him." he said, but this prisoner was convicted by II jurors, the twelfth juror, Paradise being insane and incom- pctcnt to render a verdict. Grave consti- tutional principles arc involved in this case, and the right of a man to trial by a full jury of his peers, guaranteed by the Magma Charta long before our own con- stitution ever was drawn, is at stake, "
 Clerk Carroll then asked Buchanan If he had anything to say. and Mir. Howe re- piled, Tho prisoner asks mo to say once moro that he is not guilty of this crimc. "

 Mir. Howe will apply at onco to federal judge for a writ of haboas corpus and will bring the ease hcfore tho United States su- prclnc court on the ground of the uncOn- stitutiOnality of his conviction on account of Juror ParadiSos insanity.

 II dn not know that felt any emotion at all in prumuunCing d capital sentence, " said the recorder ''ur that my feelings diff fcred at all from those of which I am aware whenever am on the bench. When passing sentence on convicted persons. l am able to do so impersOnally, regarding myself simply as the instrument of the law.
 II may explain my meaning by saying that am able to separate my intellectual ego from my sympathies and my emo tions, and to view the whole subject from an impcrsonal or at least an unemOtional standpoint. Believing the law to be a just one and tho conviction to have been justly reached, l can pronounce sentence in ao- cord with 1t without any feelings of com junction.
