BIG SHORTAGE IN THE
VEGETABLE CROP

FURNISHED by the Wholesale Market
Exchange, H. M. Axtell q Coz
Having just finished crop report
of the territory OF which this Is the
distributing center. we are sorry to
report that we find great shortage
In all lines Of produce. the hop crop
is perhaps the only exception. but In
this the acreage Is only fractional
part Of what It was only few years
ago, or before fruit and grape grow
ing reclaimed so large territory.
These young orchards are resron-
sible more than anything else for the
scant acreage now left to the grow
Ing OF vegetables. Not alone is the
acreage much less than In former
years. but the demand Is more than
twice is great, with less than half the
space on which to grow these staples
We must at least grow enough for
home use here In the valley so as to
keep the money at home instead Of
sending II away TO California and
even Michigan, for the necessities
of life. Get your Irish up and grow
more spuds. Our reports show
shortage In potatoes alone OF over Ia
cars. or more than 5000 bushels, to
say nothing of the onions, beans and
other vegetables for winter use.
Why, even the Dutchman looks wor-
ried over the empty kraut barrel.
Last year there were enough mel
ons to supply the local demands,
while this season II has been neces-
sary to ship In four cars not to mem
tlon the "nutmegs' and canteloupes
by express, aggregating In all some
six cars OF fifteen tons each.
Our local melons OF all kinds are
far superior to the southern stock.
and In all but watermelons will sup
/ ply thc lVNhi lldut iIuhi INV OHI uub
the watermelons this season will be
In scant supply, less than car OF
both ripe and green ones now being
In evidence
The prevailing high prices OF fruit
and berries caused by the general
shortage has, Of course. stimulated
the demand for melons, az we'll a.
has our greatly increased population.
All OF these things must be taken
into consideration. II you are all too
busy caring for that young orchard
TO make a study OF market conditions
then come to us for advice for II In
the business OF this Wholesale Market
Exchange to study and TO know these
things With the assured irrigation
for next season we want TO see some
thing else raised beside the price OF
land, Later we will point out the ad-
yantages that high freight rates are
giving growers here 10 protecting
them from competition with the for
eign labor OF Sacramento valley In
California.

 Lawyer C. L. Young. who delivered the opening address to the jury. said that the defense would be insanity. The attorney talked in. a loud voice and this had an unnerying effect, appar- ently, on the prisoner, who wept at times. At the end of the attorneys address Spencer asked him not to talk so loud the next time he spoke.
 Attorney Young reviewed the ances- try of the prisoner, going back as far as the great-grandparents on both sides Attorney General Swift object ed to this evidence, but it was allowed by the cou-t.

 The defense desired to produce a tendent of the Bridgewater insane asy- lum, where Spencer was sent for ob- servation after his arrest, but this was objected to by Attorney General Swift, and the objection was sustained by the presiding judge.
 The prosecution was successful to- day in placing before the jury an ai- legged confession secured by the police from Spencer, in which it appeared that he admitted that it was he who robbed the home of Mrs. Sarah J. Dow on the night of March 31, 1910, and shot and killed Miss Blackstone. The alleged confession was put in first in the form of testimony by Captain John II.

Springfeld's so-calIed gentleman burglar who is being tried for the murder of Miss Martha E. Blackstone, created an extraordinary scene in the court room at Springfield late Wednesday.
 State Detective Thomas E. Bligh was on the stand, testifying in regard to CTS alleged confession to the police immediately thereafter. The witness testified that the prisoner exclaimed after the confession: Send me to Si- but don't send me to the electric chair
 At the words of the witness, Spencer seemed to lose his self-control. He shouted: Why don't you tell the truth?"
 After Turnkey Waite and the other officers pushed him back into the cage trembled from head to foot cried and muttered to himself. A moment later in a tone of voice that was appar- entiy of anger rather than fear. the accused man again shouted: Why don't you tell the truth?'
 Spencer's outburst startled the en- tire court room. The alienists, who were seated near the cage, jumped out of their chairs at the prisoners first shout and then began taking notes. Judge John c. Crosby ordered a recess and Spencer was taken out of the court room for ten minutes. Upon his re- turn he appear ed to be still greatly agitated and was nervous during the remainder of the day.

 Antitoxin Appropriation.
 Two notes are appended to the re- port. one relating to antitoxin to be distributed by the state and the other giving the new law as to the common drinking cup: The first is as fol- lows:
 .'The legislature just before it's final adjournment appropria ted eight thou sand dollars to carry out the provisions of chapter 161, public acts of 1911, con- corning the free distribution of anti the state board of health has contract ed with the H. K. Mulford company of Philadelphia to furnish their products.
 sThe antitoxin is to be distributed through the general drug trade. When a physician wishes to use the antitox- in he is to secure an order from the health officer of the town in which it is to be used. If this order is then pre-
  ford's goods, it will be supplied from his regular stock. The Mulford com pany will in a few days send to all health officers a supply of order blanks as we'll as list of the distributing stations in their neighborhood. This will be the general plan of distribution, although it may have to be varied to accommodate localities.
 For the present only diphtheria and tetanus antitoxins will be furnished, as it is not thought that our appro- priation will be more than sufficient for that purpose.
 As to the regulation of common drinkking cups, it is said:
 Tn accc1 dance with the provisions of chapter 96 of the public acts of 1911 the state board of health has adopted the following regulations:
 Tt shall be unlawful on and after January 1. 1912, to provide a common drinking cup in or upon the premises of any public building, hotel, restau- rant, theater, public hall, schoolhouse or store, and in any public park. street, railroad car or steamboat.
