The PREVENTION
OF CRIME
Judge Hamilton Thinks State j. Not
Hlameless In Permitting the
Sale Of Concealed
Weapons
TUCKER
Views Are Expressed While Giving
James Tucker Twenty Year
Sentence to
Prison.

That the state should prevent the
manufacture and sale OF dangerous
weapons that are prohibited by law
from being carried in concealment is
the belief OF Judge w. S. Hamilton.
He gave his views on the subject
while sentencing James Tucker who
plead guilty to murder in the second
degree.
In pronouncing sentence of TWEEN
ty years at hard labor in the TT. Mao
1son prison on Tucker the judge said
that he did not believe the state was
altogether blameless in the matter In
that it allowed the manufacture and
sale of the weapon which Tucker used
impulsively on the night he murder
ed John Towne.
Judge Hamilton said that the ma,
jority of the crimes the court has to
deal with result from the carrying Of
concealed weapons that are used to
murder or do great bodily harm on
the impulse of a sudden quarrel He
expressed his belief that the state
would eventually see the necessity OF
preventing the wholesale distribution
of firearms and other dangerous wea-
pons and would place stringent re-
strictions upon their manufacture and
sale.
The sentence of twenty years pro-
nounced on Tucker was five years
less than was generally expected.
Believing, from his observation of
Tucker that he was not really vic
ious negro, the judge took the case
under advisement after the plea OF
guilty to murder in the second de-
gree was entered and communicated
with some people to whom Tucker
had referred him.
When the sentence was pronounced

his life and placing him behind prison

ness which could aid in establishing
his plea of self defense and therefore
was forced to plead guilty.

FARMERS ARE
L00s|NG MONEY
Authorities Say That Improper Sc

Vast Amount Of
Money.
GOOD SEED
CORN SENTENCING
Rules Arc Laid Down by Farmers
institute for the Proper choos.
Ing Of Corn to
Plant.

The vast amount Of money lost an
nnally by farmers through improper
selection of seed corn has resulted in
a nation wide movement to bring corn
growers to 4 realization of the racl.
Some authorities claim that a scien-
tific and careful choosing of corn to
be planted would incrsale the total
yield of the country one-fifth.
Prominent farmers and agricultural
college experts have been preaching
the doctrine for several years and the
railroads have taken the matter up
and giss9 = greater publicity Post
ers have been distributed in the city
sent out by the Wabash railroad con-
tanning the rules laid down by an Illi-
nois farmers institute for the selec-
ton of seed corn as follows:
Stalks Select from stalks that are
large from the ear down, but not too
high, having broad leaves, The
stalks should be we'll supported by
brace roots.
Ears-Ayoid ears that are extreme
lily rough or extremely smooth. Pick
an ear OF medium size, about nine or
ten inches long, with straight rows or
kernels running down from butt to
tip.
Ker1xs- Select ears having deep,
wedge-shaped kernels, with full,
strong germs.
The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1912-10-27
Make Selection Early.

Early field selection from healthy.
vigorous stalks insures well matured
ears. 1t will improve the quality and
help to free the markets of mo
grade" corn.
Avoid high ears for stalk with a
high ear Is more liable to blow down
than one bearing an ear at medium
height. Stalks bearing the ears high
are usually late in maturing and are
apt to be injured by frost.
Be sSTe to pick plenty of seed so
that you VIII have an abundance from
which to select ears possessing the
proper characteristics.
Do not delay picking seed until
husking time. Remember the mis-
takes OF previous years.
Twelve good ears will furnish suf-
ficient seed to plant one acre. The
cost of securing this seed is insignifi-
cant when compared to the value or
the crop which depends upon 1t.
Remember that heredity is as
strong in plant life as 1t is in amman
life and that the selection of given
ear of corn might determine the quail
ity as well as the quantity of thou
sand ears next year.
