KILLS HIS WIFE AND
THEN SHOOTS HIMSELF

HAMILTON, Ont, May 1s.-Frank
Truckle, whose home is in Brantford
shot and instantly killed his 24-year.
old wife, Lena, shortly before noon
today, and when chased for blocks by
the police in an automobile, turned
the revolver and shot himself through
the breast. The doctors say he will
recover.
The motive for the crime is given
by the police as revenge by Truckle
for having been brought into court
by his wife a few weeks ago on a
charge of assault. He was acquitted
after having accused his wife of pay
Ing undue attentions to other men.

Interesting Local Lads In
Big Show

Having provided for the country
, boys at the sixty-third annual Mlchi
gan State Fair. by introducing the
Boys State Fair school plan. now a
very pronounced success, Secretary
and Manager j. f. Harmon cast about
for plan TO interest the boys OF De-
troit and Wayne county, and he hit
upon the happy idea of starting model
farms for the city boys.
As a result there will be seen at
the Michigan State Fair this year a
plot OF ground, containing 10000
square feet and divided into about so
farms" with wide aisles separating
the little farms, and on these for the
next four months will be found 80 boys
from the Boy Scouts, the Ford Repub-
Tic and other organizations busily em-
ployed in real farm work, raising for
market many crops. including corn and
potatoes, sugar beets. carrots, cab.

WINTER WHEAT.

The condition Of the winter wheat
crop is a matter Of great interest to.
the farmers OF North Dakota. Winter
wheat in parts of this state has be-
come a popular crop. There are thou.
sands OF acres Of IT in the Red river
valley this spring-and II is uniform
~ good. The winter wheat has many
advantages in its favor. II can be
seeded at a time when the work. can
be nor easily done than in the spring.
It natures earlier and can be harvest
ed and gotten out Of the way before
the spring wheat crop natures. Many
farmers are planning to plant about
half their wheat acreage in winter
wheat or winter rye. This VIII en-
able them to handle the crop with less
help and at less expense than under the
old methods.
On the condition OF the winter wheat
crop in the states to the south-The
Minneapolis Tribune said ~edltoria1ly:
The wheat market the last week has
been disturbed by reports Of de~teriora-
ton in the crop prospects west of the
Mississippi river where the hard win
ter wheat is produced.
The damage is not as great as that
which has already visited the soft
wheat states OF the middle west but IL
has served to stimulate speculative OPP
erations in the pit already excited by
the losses in Ohio, Indiana, and nil
nois. The government in It's April re-
port made the condition OF the plants
so low that further damage f~oreshad-
ows a very ~u1fayorable statement Of
winter wheat prospects next month.
In the May report, however, the
elimination OF the abandoned area will
remove the acreage which was the
cause Of the low April condition go
that there may be no material lowering
Of the percentage figures and possibly
some Improvement. The proportion Of
the crop left to be harvested will be
moderate, OF course, since It is esti-
mated that 5000, 900 acres will be
abandoned, which would leave about
the same area for harvesting as in
1904; a memorable year In the grain
trade.
While the reports are Unanimous OF
the serious losses east or the Missis-
sippi river, in the important sections
Of the west the opinions expressed as
to conditions are conflicting. The
Oklahoma state report is quite en-
J c~ouraging; the prospective ysld being
about normal. IN Nebraska, the re-
ports vary but have not disclosed any
really serious deterioration.
Kansas, the leading wheat producer
Of the winter wheat states, is now the
storm center of conflicting crop re-
ports. with the large area seeded,
abandonment could be- large without
reducing the harvest below a normal
yield. A critical condition has devel-
oped, however, in a number OF import
ant counties and as long as this ex-
lists it will dominate the wheat pit.

WEDNESDAY, mAY I, 1912.
FARGO s~AsEsaLLgss.

For ONT years Fargo has been out
of organized baseball. In the Old days
OF the various leagues the city was
more or less successfully represented
generally less,
This spring a compact league was
organized from Winnipeg to the head
of the lakes. II looked as If Fargo
might again enter organized ball with
some hopes Of a successful season.
After considerable effort arrangements
were made to enter the league.
The plan was short lived, however.
1t appears the grounds on which the
present ball park is located belongs to
J. W. Smith-and the fence to Messrs.
stern, Price and Camitsch. While J..
w. Smith owned the street car line he
permitted the use Of the grounds for
baseball as q means Of working up
business for the street railway. After
disposing Of his interests in the rail-
way he left orders to have the baseball
park sold in lots.
This will eliminate the present park
unless the new owners Of the street
railway come to the rescue. They can
rent or lease or buy the lots-and can
easily make an arrangement for the
fence. It would seem TO be greatly to
their advantage to have a baseball
park. It would mean a lot Of nickels
for the street railway.
Whether Fargo enters the league or
merely has independent balI-the ne
cessity for a bail park is equally i'm
perative.
Fargo is losing prestige by staying
out of the league and without a base
