NOW, of course It is not practicable for me to
lay down rules for every farm. since soils vary so
much. and rotation that would suit on uplands
would not do on the bottoms of the same farm
But too many cotton farmers having some fairly
good upland, have also some fertile bottom land.
and they conclude that the uplands will do for
cotton and the lowlands for corn, and do not try
to make n rotation for either

hill farm on which We had 3 acres OF fine bottom
land. The hills were poor and washed. and de-
termined TO make the bottoms restore some of the
fertility they had robbed from the hills was

A THIRD PARTY
Boyle Will Attempt to Prove an Alibi
in KIDNAPPING Case.

Mercer, Pa. April 29.-It is now
asserted James P. Whitla, father Of
the abducted boy. will be the principal
witness for James Boyle. whose trial
is to begin Friday. 1t was stated last
night that the defense, through a line
of questioning of Mr. Whitla, hope to
produce an impression that will re-
suit in minimum punishment.
1t is alleged that Mr.. Whitla knew
Boyle was. connected with the abduc-
ton at noon of March %, and that he
talked with Boyle on a street corner
near the store of Mrs. Hendrickson,
where few moments before he had
left the package containing the $1O,-
600 ransom money. Further, the re-
port goes, Mr.. Whitla assured Boyle
that all he wanted was the safe re-
turn of the boy and that he would
not interest himself in any prosecu-
ton. Whitla is said to have Informed
Boyle that he could remain in Cleve-
land or go where he pleased. but in
any event "he would be as tight as
clam," if the boy was returned un-
harmed. Following this conversation
Willie was restored to his father that
evening.
1t is also said Boyle will endeavor
to prove that he was not in Pennsyl-
vania when the boy was kidnapped,
and it is believed an attempt will be
made to fasten the actual crime on a
third party at present not generally
known. Another story is in circula-
tion that Boyle was merely the tool for
others.
Following the publication of an in
terview with Boyle to the effect that
no effort was being made to assist him
in working up defense. his attorney
had long conference with him today
and plans were perfected for his trial.

REACHED DULUTH
Captain of Troy Also Opened
Navigation Between chica-
go and Buffalo

Duluth, April 29.-The steamer
Troy of the Western Transit line was
the first of the big freighters to reach
Duluth from the lower lakes, reaching
here shortly before o'clock yesterday
afternoon. Capt. Thomas Slattery
was in command and Charles L. MUIR
ray was the chief engineer
A remarkable feature of the OPEN
ing of navigation between Buffalo and
Duluth is the fact that Capt. Slattery,
with the Troy, has also opened nayi-
cation this season between Chicago
and Buffalo. On Friday, April 16, the
Troy left Chicago for Buffalo and was
the first boat of the season to make
the trip. On Friday, April %. she left
Buffalo for Duluth, arriving on the
2sth. just twelve days from the time
she left Chicago. She was the last
boat to join the blockade at the 500
and the first one to get through.
