j. c. l.. Harris Speaks.
Mr.. j. C. L. Harris then spoke at
some length, making an earnest plea
for mercy for the defendants. He
stated that to men like the defend
ants, one day in Jail was as bad so Ial
as the humiliation went as three years
He referred to the fact that when IL
was proposed to ask Judge Moore 10
make their punishment tine OF Sz3V.
instead of imprisonment, the de1ehd-
ants had said no; that everybody knew
they did not have the money; that II
their friends raised it, people would
say that the money had been PAID by
Messrs. kilgo and Duke.
He declared that he knew OF ms
knowledge that Rogers had suffered
a loss of $4,000 by reason OF the de-
falcation of an officer of his Whiie
sheriff. The man had been given the
place at the request OF one OF ms
bondsmen and because of his friend
ship for the bondsmen, he had never
tried, to do thing with the man VINO
had ruined him.

After Judge Allen had announced
his sentence, Mr.. Holden spoke again

further pleaded the fact of the defend
ants non-resistance to the court, ana
stated that on the day before Rogers
had stated to him that there were TWO
men on the jury who would never
convict him of having acted with cor
rupt intent.
Judge Allen then stated that he
would let the sentence stand but would
take il under advisement.
He had been embarrassed, stated
Judge Allen, by the fact that the de-
PENDANTS had practically waived jury
trial and thrown themselves entirely
into his hands. In the meantime, ne
would let the sentence remain. IL was
not his habit to change sentence AFTER
giving it, but he made it a rule TO
consider carefully and if he came TO
a different conclusion, he had no hesl-
tation in changing his judgment.

higher for tho years 1902, 1908 and
1904 than Tor the 23 years. During the
last three years also these have been
tried In cooperative experiments. many
hundreds Of farmers cooperating In
growing certain crops under the direc.
tion OF the experiment station. The
average yields on these farms have
been much larger than on the average
farms Of the province. The reason Is
easy to understand. These men are IN
touch with the experiment station
work. many OF them having been stu
dents themselves at the agricultural
college or having had sons there who
brought back to the farm the informa.
tion gained. The fact that the farms
of these men have produced larger
crops shows that success In farming is
the result Of intelligence and informa,

disseminated among the farmers. the
whole average yield will be brought up
to the point now made by the bes;

FOSTERING THE WOOD LOT
Some Suggestions for the Manage.
ment Of This Valuable Ad.
junct Of the Farm.

Many Of our farms have wood lots
on them that are being rapidly cut over,
but which would, II rightly handled, give
hrewood for the farm for generations
to come. There Is one mistake being
made In the handling of these wood lots
to which attention. should be called.
That is permitting the trees to grow too
far apart. The result is that the trees
branch largely and branches are very
difiicult to work into stove wood. II
they are to be sold they must generally
be sold at discount because they do not
pack closely into tho wagons The
amount OF labor to work up such trees
Is 80 very great that there Is little profit
In the operation. What the farmer
wants In his wood lot. says the Farmers
Review. 10 straight tree with numerous

the cure will exist only so long as the
