URGE GOVERNOR
TO SAVE LIFE OF
s LOUIS WECHTER
Sentinel Special Service.

Sentinel Special Service.
Denver, Aug. 23.-ln the state
penitentiary at Canon City next
Monday Louis = Wechter will be
hanged for the murder of Clifford
Burrows in the White House cafe,
+ Denver, about a year ago, unless
f, Governor Shafroth heeds on appeal
being made in behalf of saving the
tcondemned mans life, The governor
is being urged by friends of Wechter
to intercede in his behalf because the
claim is made that the condemned
man has not been given fair chance
for his life. and that he has been
sentenced to die to save a "higher-
mp Ia banker There is woman
in the case.
AT the. trial the state contended
that Weehter entered the cafe for
the purpose of orbbery, when he
shot down Burrows Wechter has
always maintained that he never in
tended to commit murder, and that
he was following woman who en-
tered the cafe. with whom he was in
love and who proved to be false to
him, The woman Is now in hiding
in the northwest, sent there, it is
stated, to shield a prominent Denver
banker who might be "disgraced' If
her story of the affair is made pub
lie.
To save this mans life Wechter
must die on the gallows.
There is quite a sentiment in Dem
yer that the execution of Wechter
will be an injustice. To further pro-
tect the banker many prominent bus
mess men of this city have been
urging the governor not to commute
Wechter's death sentence and oppos-
ing in every way any executive in
reference with carrying out of the
courts decree. When the case was
before the state pardon board there
was difference of opinion of mem-
bers as to what should be done. The
board always has been divided as to
whether they should recommend
clemency for Wechter Governor
Shafroth now Is the only man who
can save the life of the condemned
man. and as the date of execution
draws near he is being sesieged with
appeals to interfere and prevent the
hanging of Wechtcr. Even two mem
bers of the pardon board have asked
the governor to stop the hanging of
this man. Whether he will do ii,
however, remains to be seen

CATTLE IN THE SOUTH
Tennessee Man Believes 0ppor.
tunity Is Attractive.
Cotton Growing Portion OF United
States Makes Less Provision for
Feeding Of Live Stock
Than Any Other.

/ do not believe there is another
region In the civilized world as large
In area and containing as much live
stock that makes SO little provision
for the feeding of the stock as the
cotton-growing portion of the United
States.
The universal custom there in feed
ing the grain Is to s corn, and for
roughage corn fodder is almost wholly
used. Besides the corn fodder quite
o considerable quantity Of pea hay Is
used, and a few people use some
millet.
With the exception Of some oats
shipped to the south, which is fed to
horses in cities and towns, all the
grain fed to horses and mules is corn,
writes o. +. Robestson Of Tennessee
in the Farm Progress. On the cotton
plantations corn is grown in large
quantities to feed the mules and hogs
and for bread for the people who live
on the plantations and do the cultivat-
Ing Of these crops.
After some years farming in Ten
nessee, ! concluded that 1t was az easy
to, grow hay and grain in the entire
cotton-growing region as IN any state
north Of the Ohio river. I found that
on good soil a mixture Of timothy and
redtop made good growth and was
excellent hay.
On rich, moist bottom land Der.
muds grass also made sufficient
growth to be moved, and it made fine
hay. Where there was rich bottom
land infested with Bermuda, 1t has
been the custom Of some to plow and
harrow the Bermuda sod and sow
cowpeas, a bushel to the acre, and
harrow them In. The mixture Of cow

pea vines and Bermuda grass made
most excellent hay. After blowing
and narrowing the sod. the grass
would ONE up thick from the roots.
and the mixture of grass and peavines
would make the best of hay.
Another grass tn makes a heavy
growth, and much 2asturage or hay.
Is johnson grass. 9ut l would warn
everyone against getting a farm In
tested with johnson grass. It is Q
very good pasture and hay grass, but
there is no known way to get rid of
1t If once 1t gets a start on a farm.
It is claimed by some that no one has
ever been known to eradicate John
son grass when 1t once got a start.
Bermuda is almost as Objectionable,
but 1t is generally admitted that 1t
can be eradicated.
From my own experience | would
say 1t was next to impossible; but
this is at least true: When Bermuda
gets possession Of land, you can plow
and harrow, and plant a crop of corn
or cotton in 1t. For awhile you may
think 1t is gone; but 1t is very certain
to come back, and keep on coming
back; but you can cultivate the corr
or cotton and make a fairly good crop
in spite of the grass.
As cotton seed meal and bulls both
make good feed, and on bottom lands
large crops Of corn can be made in
the cotton states, It has always
seemed to me that II enough young
cattle, Of fairly good quality, can be
bought in any Of the cotton states, 1t
would be q very successful plan to
buy these young cattle, which always
sell cheap, and pasture and feed them
to supply the local demand for beef.
The cheapness Of labor will make
the cost Of handling such stock very
low; and pea hay, Bermuda grass hay
and corn and sorghum fodder should
make the cost Of feeding very low.
Such stock finished with oil meal and
