BATTLE OF EXPERTS.
Alienists Testify for the Defense in the
Thaw Case.

Poughkeepsie. N. Y, May 16.-Harry
K. Thaw. slayer of Stanford White,
matched his witnesses with District
Attorney Jerome today In his effort to
gain his freedom from the mad house
to which he was committed after being
acquitted by q jury. Expert alienists
called by the district attorney In his
opposition to Thaw's movement to OBJ
tain his discharge from the asylum al
ready have testified that they believe
the prisoner to be suffering from an in
durable form of insanity, and that. In
their opinion he would be menace to
any community in which he might
choose to live. Thaw has been quoted
as saying that he is not only ready,
but anxious to meet the district attor-
ney and that he is confident he will be
able to acquit himself in such man
ner as to leave no room for doubt that
he is sane and fully entitled to liberty.
When the hearing was resumed today
James ]. Graham who has assumed
charge Of the case for the petitioner,
continued the presentation Of evidence
in the contention that Thaw Is sane.
Mr. Michael Cummings and Lawrence
j. Creery, keepers in the Tombs prison,
testified to conversations with Thaw and
said that his actions always impressed
them as being rational.
DR.. Britton D. Evans, superintendent
of the New Jersey state hospital for the
insane at Morris Plains. N. j., was
then put on the stand as an expert In
Thaw's behalf DR.. Evans was prepared
to testify that Thaw Is now sane, but
1t was not until after lively tilt with
Mr.. Jerome that Mr.. Graham was able
to get this opinion Of Dr.. Evans into
the minutes.
The doctor said that he based his
conclusion wholly upon the actual con-
ditions of the man as he saw him dur
ing his last trial and in several visits
to him at Matteawan.
Mr.. Jerome brought out the fact that
DR.. Evans excluded from this consider

facts from his mind.

Agricultural Education,

NOW when our agricultural colleges
In every state are busy and the hun
ureus of boys who are to become the
farm leaders of the future are getting
down to their studies, the following
thoughts on the need of agricultural
education, voiced by Professor Fl. J.
waters OF Missouri, may be opportune:
The farmer of tomorrow must face
more serious responsibilities than the
farmer of yesterday" says DR.. Waters.
Farming becomes more complex and
difficult as our country develops. The
public domain has been exhausted.
The agricultural area must from this
on be subdivided to support the ever
increasing number to be provided
with the opportunity to earn liveli-
hood. New and difficult problems are
constantly presenting themselves and
must be solved before success is pos
slbie. New crops; new demands OF
the market; new pests of insects and
weed; new diseases Of plants and ami
NAL; new conditions OF soil and crop
ping all demand an intelligent and
scientific treatment However success
full, therefore, the farmer of yesterday
may have been without the benefits OF
scientific knowledge, it is certain that
the farmer of tomorrow will not find
the practical experience of past gen.
erations adequate to meet the new and
changed conditions under which he
must labor
The present day collegiate course
in agriculture fulfills all of the reason
able requirements of liberal educa-
ton, disciplining the mind quite as
well as the classics at the same time
that it furnishes information of meal
culable value to the farmer in conduct
ing all his business. 1t is not all of
success, however, to make money. The
educated man lives better, gets more
out of life. and is a better and safer
citizen"

Must Know Insects.

The farmer and truck grower must
know all about bugs and every specie
of insects. He must be a bugologist,
a chemist, and a naturalist to sue
coed
He must understand the different
combinations of lime, sulphur, cop
per, arsenic and other poisonous COM
pounds which should be administered
TO each plant at the proper time. /:
he makes the poison too strong he
will kill the foliage as well as the
blight germs and the insects. If he
applies them at the wrong time he
will kill the fruit blossoms and the
pollen-bearing bees and birds. If he
does not apply them at all he will
have no crop.
The currant crop is cut down this
year by currant bugs and the scale
anthracope is killing the Dlackberries.
Club-root is affecting the cabbage.
Yellow stripe bugs are biting the Cu-
cumber vines. Potatoes, besides the
Colorado beetles, have developed
blight and scab. Fruit trees by the
thousand have been killed by the
scale, moths and other insects. Chest
nut trees, which have hitherto been
immune, have now fatal prasite OF
their own Strawberry patches have
been spoiled by the cutworm.
variation of the squash bug attacks
egg plants. Ants have developed
liking for radshes, and so on to the
end of bugdom, which contains a mil
lion or more species-even in this
climate.
In this section there are few crops
not affected by insects Grass ana
corn are freer than any others; bu'
most of them are subject to destruc
ton. So the farmer, truck gardner
and tree grower have troubles ike
other lines of business.
