Farmers in Potato Trust.

Riverhead, l.. l., March 17.-Ac-
tive work now is under way for the
organization OF potato trust among
the farmers of Suffolk county.
For years the potato growers here
have complained that they were not
receiving true market prices for
their potatoes. The growers held a
meeting in the Court House here sew
eral days ago, at which speakers
pointed out that the reason for the
low prices received for the vegeta-
bles was the farmers were not kept
informed of the best markets. and
that the shipping of the crops to one
or two places caused the market to
become glutted. 1t was estimated
that in this county 100000 bush
els of potatoes were raised annually.
The farmers have decided to open
a central Office at which the prices
prevailing in the various markets
will be received. All shipments will
be made through the association.
and the crops will be shipped from
one consignee to one consignor. thus
enabling the farmer to obtain the
lowest freight rates.

young girls, came to an abrupt end

Garvan asked Justice Blanchard in
the Criminal Branch of the Supreme
Court, to dismiss the indictment

dict of not guilty. In accordance
with Justice Blanchard's instructions
the jury found that verdict, and
Hitchcock left court with his law

tional end of the actors trial came
after Flora Winston, one of the ac-
cusing girls and the prosecutor s
chief witness, recanted the story she
had told the Grand Jury and testi-
fed that Hitchcock had not harmed
her. After the actors discharge the
girl was arrested on a charge Of
perjury, and Justice Blanchard COM
mended the whole case to the care
