increase the production in the grain
that follows the corn.
"Where dairy cows are kept, corn
should be grown with or without irri.

valuable in balancing the alfalfa hay
ration. 1t will also furnish the sue
culent food that dairy cows need in
winter if they are to produce at their

crops when grown. The squaw corr

NJ ISIS FA|RLAMB
IS EXONER ATEO
County Magistrate Holds That
Killing of Mrs. Wharton
Was Accidental.

Ruling that the death of Mrs. Thos.
w. Wharton was due to an unavoid-
able accident, Justice T. ]. Puryear,
of Eenrico county yesterday dismiss
ed the warrants against Miss Zelda
Fairlamb and Wallace King. charging
them with being responsible for the
killing of tho aged woman when she
was run down by an automobile in
which they were driving, in the Bar
ton Heights section. on Friday after
noon. While absolving the defendants
from direct responsibility the mag
Istrate was still OF the opinion that
Mr.. Kin. showed gross negligence in
permitting Miss Fairlamb to drive the
car. knowing at the same time that
the emergency brake OF the automo-
bile was not working well-a circum-
stance which he admitted on the
Standard fined him SIS.
Upon reconsideration, however. JUS
tice Puryear acceded to the motion Of
Commemorative Attorney Julien Gum
and withdrew the fine.
Upon leaving the witness stand.
Miss Fairlamb succumbed to the ner-
vous strain occasioned by the accident
and the trial. DR.. T. A. Smith who
was present, applied restoratives and
the young woman recovered con-
sciousness after few minutes.
The bulk of the testimony offered
by the witnesses who were examined
supported the statements of the de-
PENDANTS that they did all in their
mover to stop the machine and avoid
the collision. The testimony OF only
one witness seemed to be at variance
with this version. w. P. Conway. rbe
