New Idea In Wheat Growing.

Mr.. James E Gettys, who lives
some five miles southeast of York
vile has a field of wheat five or six
acres in extent, that attracts the at
tention of passers along the road. IF
Is unusually good, and its excellence
is attributed to the method of seed

ton rows last fall before the cotton
was picked, and was ready to come
on as soon as the cotton pickers were
out OF the way. Shortly after the
wheat got up the cotton stalks were
Knocked out of the way. and the
wheat, with every advantage of early
lalI sowing is now promising to make
as good a yield as if it had had the
entire soil to itself from the beginning.
This idea has been practiced through
out the neighborhoOd during the mast

Head.

OF course. nobody knows. save
possibly the board OF trustees, who
will be the next president Of Glenn

ecutive head Of this great institution.
While the trustees will not meet un-
tii July. and while they may or may
not have decided upon a man for the
place. this belief. namely. that Mr..
Riggs will be rendered the position
prevails TO a large degree.

mately know Of his great love for and
intense interest in mechanical en-
gineering. They know that his heart
is In that branch of educational work

Riggs. I'm case II were rendered you? ?"
With frankness. he replied that he
was by no means seeking the place.
that he was not a candidate.
Continuing. Prof Riggs said: "Of
course. 1 can make no statement on
the matter--such would not be Justice

cutiOn.

New York, June S.-Through a
statement made before Judge Hand
in the United States court today by
Special United States Attorney Gen
eral McKercher. it becomes definitely
known for the first time that the
government is seeking to connect j.
n. Patten with the alleged bull pool
in cotton. A clash before the special
federal grand jury that is investi-
eating the affair. which was aired
before Judge Hand, brought out this
fact.
Chas. y. Kittle, member of the
banking and brokerage firm Of S. H..
z. Pell & Co., who had been sum-
moned as witness, refused to be
sworn on the ground that the sub
poena failed to state against whom
the proceedings were directed. Nc
Kercher denied this, saying that
James A. Patten and others" were
named.
Judge Hand directed Kitttle to take
the oath, saying he could then raise
his objections and they could be pre-
sented to the court in proper form.
While no announce cnt was forth
coming. 1T is unIorstUod that Kittle
