PRETTY BRIDE
 EASILY DUPED
Touching Narrative of Per: f1dy of Supposed Spouse
 Now Under Arrest

Alleging that she was basely de- ceived and duped, Lillian Shell, handsome woman of about Z3 years by her lawyer appeared a few days ago before Assistant Pro- seeutor William Redden and stated that she wished to have Joseph Cor man. 40 years old arrested upon a charge of bigamy.
 To the prosecutor she unfolded a narrative which almost brought tears to the eyes of those who listened to her recitation. She said that in 1911 she met German in Brooklyn and after he had showered attentions up- on her they were married in Bridge port where German was employed in the shops of the Locomobfle Com pany of America. Here they lived at 276 Gregory street and he was ap- parently the most devoted of hus- bands. They went everywhere to- gether and the last thing that enter ed her mind was the impending de- sertion.
 When he left suddenly about a week ago she was distracted and af- ter a few days elapsed she found let ters which indicated that he had al- ready been married twice-once in Newark, N. J., and again in Brook lyn, N Y. One wife is thought to be living in New York, while it is not known whether the other one is dead or allNe.
 German was located by the police in Detroit and placed under arrest. He maintains his innocence and sig nified his willingness to return and waive extradition. Detective Peter Hall left yesterday to bring him here for trial.
 When seen today by a reporter for The Farmer, Abe S. Ge1dulig, attor- ney for Miss Lillian Shell, or Mrs. German, refused to discuss the matter in any way.

WHEN ALFALFA WILL MAKE
A GOOD SEED CROP

Prof. Ten Eyck of Kansas has the
following TO say with regard to seed
production.
Alfalfa is a Veay uncertain seed
crop, and II is Il difficult matter to
estimate with any degree of accuracy
early in the growth of the crop what
the yield of seed will be. If the wea.
Their and soil conditions have been
favorable and the alfalfa has made
proper growth mot too thick and
rank, but rather the stems should be
of medium height and stout, and
many branches), and there is an even
heavy bloom over the field in five or
six days after the first bloom appears
and no rain falls, the prospect for
seed is good. The blooms should be
large and of a dark rich color. When
the blossoms are small and light in
color 1t is evidence of light crop
Of seed. Again, If the blossoms fertil.
ize properly the flowers dry and
stick to the stem few days, while
If they are not fortified they drop
quickly and the stems stand bare.
Even before the bloom falls the cir
cular pods ar evisible. The pods
should appear thickly set on the
stems, two or more in a group, TO
insure a good seed crop.

falfa for seed these suggestions may
be given If the weather has been
wet and the alfalfa grows too rank,
cut for hay. If heavy rains fall while
the alfalfa is in bloom, or before the
flowers are fortified, cut for hay. II
for any reason the flowers are not
fortified and the bloom falls quick
ly, leaving bare stems, cut at once
for hay.
Proper Time to Cut for Seed.
Undoubtedly, the most economical
time to cut field of alfalfa seed is
when from two-thirds to three-fourths
of the pods are brown. This will in
sure mature plump seed of light
golden color If there is danger from
storms, II is better to cut a little
early.
Which Crop to Save.
About the same time is required TO

to produce two crops of hay. Usually

That set of figures carries its own
moral. Yet the states total acreage
in wheat is 100000 while there are
but $4,000 potatoes. (Of course
part of the wheat land is non-irrigat-
ed and is therefore unsuited to pota-
toes or other similar crops).
Comparing wheat with potatoes in
another way, we notice that the total
acreage planted to potatoes in this
state was only 81 per cent of that
planted to wheat, but the value OF
the potato yield SO per cent of the
value of the state yield of wheat.
Our average production for ten
years is lac bushels per acre which
is much higher than that of most
states but not so high as Nevada's

other states to surpass, in our acre.
age yield we stood second among
all the states in 1909, third in 1910.
and sixth in 1911. AS to quality, only
six states stood higher than Utah in
the ten year average.
In 1910 we stood thirty.fourth
among the states in total yield of
potatoes and in 1911 we stood TWEEN
ty-seventh (This was not entirely
due however to an increase in our
own yield but partly to decrease
in the crops of other states.) We
can evidently raise more potatoes 20
the acre than most of the other
states but we need larger acreage.
Only two acres out of every hundred
of QUA cultivated land are now
planted in potatoes.
We are able to take high rank in
the matter of potato raising. The
high altitude of Utah is a point in
its favor for the potato is at home

good seed production and, also, the
weather conditions at this time are
not so suitable as little later. AT
this time, also, the insects which may
help to fertlize the blossoms are not
so numerous, as during the latter
part of the season.
In most of the alfalfa seed dis
tricts OF Utah, the first crop is
clipped early (when about eight in.
ches high. Some farmers use this
clipping for hay while others leave it
plan of cutting the first crop early
and leaving the second fer seed is
ideal for Utah conditions. The first
crop is usually too rank while If the
first crop is left to mature for hay,
there is LIKELIHOOD of the second crop
being touched by frost before II ma
lures. Instead of clipping the first
crop of alfalfa Mrs. Mcintosh, one of
the most successful alfalfa growers
in the state, uses the following meth
cd. When the alfalfa is well up in
the spring sufficient number of
horses, cattle or sheep are turned in
to keep ii eaten off moderately close
until the first of June. Then the
number of animals are increased 50
that they will eat the alfalfa off

June the animals are taken out ana
