The amount OF labor required for the crop
itself was about Is working DAYS, with team
III days. The sesbania used as green manur.
ing on the west half of the potato ground was
given IL Irrlgations. Bermuda grass, more
over, hourished beneath the sesbania to such
an extent as subsequently to require q days
labor for cleaning up the As acres so fertilized
Although the larger part Of the crop came
from the sesbania fertilized portion OF the 20
tatoes, this method OF enriching the soil
proved very costly, q days mans time and 8
days teamwork being required to put the ses-
bania under and afterwards get rid of the
Bermuda grass. Nevertheless, the labor en-
tailed could easily have been managed by a
careful farmer, as the Bermuda digging was
done in January when other work was not
urgent.

MAJ LOSE HIS LIFE, LIBERTY
And RICHES
Hiram w. Blaisdell Charged With
Perjury in Land Fraud Cases in
the Imperial Valley Section
Los Angeles Herald.


The pathos and shadows in the
life of Hiram w. Blaisdell, one
of the wealthy residents of the
Imperial valley, deepened yes
terday when the Supreme Court
reversed the decision of the low
er court in granting new trial
in case in which he Is defen-
dant.
The aged rancher, one of the
first wealthy men to take up
land in the rich Imperial valley,
is now in dafger1of losing both
fortune and his liberty. Blaisdell
will appear before Judge DIN
Wellborn in the United States
District Court in a few days on
a charge of perjury.
Blaisdell is said to be in dy-
ing condition, and it is the opin-
ion of his friends and relatives
that a prison sentence, if he is
convicted, will result in his
death.
The case in which the fortune
of the aged rancher is threat,
ened is that of William It. Nc
Arthur, administrator of the es-
tIte of Beauchamp H. Smith.
Macarthur seeks an accounting
and certain specific property ac-
quired in 1899 under an asserted
co-partnership.
The lower court found for
Blaisdell, on the ground that the
plaintiff did not establish the
asserted partnership. 1t is al
legged in the complaint that
Blaisdell and Smith, who died
while prosecuting the action,
were joint owners of mines in
Arizona. It is stated that IN
1899 they entered into contract
for the erection of a cyanide
plant at Castle Dome Landing,
Arizona.
Thus the aged rancher must
not only defend his fortune, or a
large part of it, in the courts,
but contest the action with the
Government, which charges him
with perjury in giving testimony
in the Imperial valley land fraud
cases. Blaisdell was defen-
dant in those cases, in which
Paul H. McPherron, who was
acquitted, and Frank H. and
David Chaplin were defendants.
Blaisdell pleaded guilty to a
a charge OF conspiracy to defraud
the Government of land in the
Imperial valley and was released
after paying a heavy fine.
He was then called as a wit
ness against the other defend
ants, and according to the allie
cations of the Government, he
took the entire blame for the
alleged conspiracy on his own
she u!ders in an endeavor to save
his companions.
The Chaplins were convicted,
and soon after Blaisdell was ar
arrested on a charge Of perjury.
The case comes up in the United
States District Court within a
few days.

Of clean hay the first season. During the Sec

there were seven cuttings with total OF

proving to be more than sufficient for that
purpose, since a stack OF about three tons re-
mains at the end OF the season. The manure
from this source, being free from Bermuda

CROPS AND MARKETS.
The crops selected for the season Of 1906
were Early Rose potatoes, White Bermuda
onions, Rockyford cantaioupes, Dwarf Cham
pion and Burpee's Quarter Century tomatoes,
and alfalfa, besides few hills OF watermeOns
and sundry vegetables.
The produce was marketed in Yuma with
the exception OF tomatoes, which, for the
largest part, were expressed to Tucson and
Bisbee The following statements for the
various crops are on the basis OF net cash re-
turns to the small farmer, who with an aver
age family OF five and a team OF horses is as
Sumed to Go the work required. as explained
below. Items neceSsitating cash outlay, as
Seed lrrigattng water. and crates are deducted
from gross returns. Water costs an average
of 30 cents for irrigation per acre for the crops
grown The yields in certain instances are
low, Cue to the unimproved condition OF the
soil, which, like desert soils in general. was
low in nitrogen and organic matter. Some
small salty areas also affected yields locally.

The Arizona sentinel., 1911-04-13

The amount OF labor expended upon this
crop was large for the area, especially at the
transplanting time. One days team work in
time, were required to bring it through, al
though the work was not heavy and could
have been largely performed by boys. The
yield was low owing to the desert and infer
tilted character of the SOIL onions recurring
large amounts OF organic matter in the soil to
give good results.

thru the fields sending out for miles

The peasants have left their homes.

Whole regions covered with hard

been torn open by the frequent, earth

The stream Of lava is moving at the
rate OF 1850 feet an hour and has
covered several miles in the direction

Madison, wis. Sept. 13.-'Dogskin"
Johnson. taken to police headquarters
yesterday after the inquest on the body
OF Annie Lemberger. will be brought
into court today for a preliminary ex-
animation, after warrant has been
sworn out charging him with ndnap.
ping and staying tho girl.
He was kept In jail all day. with no
procedure instituted. being merely =
suspect, and threatened to get writ
OF habeas corpus. He was only pre-
vented from this course by being told
ne was at least safe from mob violence
in the cell. The warrant was issued
early today. tho the police still say
that there IL only slight evidence
against him. His past record. ~ =
matter OF fact. is ail that warrnnts his
being held, even IN suspect.
The coroner explained tho difference
OF opinion among the doctors as to
whether the girl was mistrcated as be-
ing due 20 the Anal opinion OF the med
ical men that AN attempt was made to
attack the girl. but that her assaiiant
was frightened before accomplishing
his purpose.
A Chicago detective agency operative
working on the case has practically
discarded the theory that Johnson CONF
mitted the crime, and Is trying to trace
a white horse that was driven mystcr-
ously about the part OF town where
the Lembcrgers live the night of the
crime. The Chicago detective also Is
looking UP the actions OF some Italians
against whom Lemberger testified In
several cases brought before the
municipal court in the last few months,
the idea being that the child was killed
as revenge for the sending OF somo
Italians to jail.
