PREVENT DELAYS IN
 CRIMINAL APPEALS
Justice Anderson Makes Suggestion to Pelham
30 DAYS TO FILE BILL
Suggestion, If Carried Out, Would Bring About Final Determination of Criminal Case by Appel
 late Court Within 50 Days

Montgomery. September 1s.-(Spc- cial. )-Co- operating with the commit tee on the reform and revision of the judicial system of Alabama. Associate Justice John c. Anderson of the su- preme court has made an important suggestion looking to the prevention of delays in criminal appeals.
 Judge Anderson's recommendation was made to Judge John Pelham. chairman of the committee on judicial reform, for transmission to the com mittee of the whole when it next meets in session. Ills suggestion, if carried out, will bring about the final deter imitation of a criminal cause by the appellate court within so days after the case has been heard by the trial court, whereas the present system al- lows six months under any circum- stances for the submission of a case to the supreme court. and. in some in- stances, a year elapses before the case reaches the higher court
 Judge Anderson recommends that the defendant be given 30 days in which to file his bill of exceptions; that the trial judge be given 10 days in which to sign the bill, and that the case be submitted within 20 days thereafter on the first Thursday during any sit- ting of the court. regardless of what division may be called. Heretofore the defendant has been allowed so days in which to file his bill of exception, the judge of the trial court has been al- lowed an equal time in which to sign the bill, after which the case must be submitted at the call of the defend-
 t-4~w .t.x~x4k fN1 at 1pf time the case goes over to the next term of court, which sometimes means year or more before the appellate court passes upon the case.
 Judge Anderson's Statement
 In reference to his suggestion to Judge Pelham. looking to the prevention of de- lays In criminal appeals, Judge Anderson said:
 "lt is well known that the delay in criminal appeals is largely due to tho length of time between the trial of the cause and the date of submission to the appellate court. As a matter of fact. criminal appeals are preferred cases and are usually decided within q very short time after their submission. Inoeed, we have a statute requiring that such cases be decided before the court can adjourn. Under the present system, the defendant has 90 days within which to tender his bill of exceptions, then tho trial judge has 9G days within which to sign 1t, then, after all this delay. the case cannot be submitted to this court except by consent until the call of the defendants division. I sho .Iu. therefore, suggest that the de- fendant be given 30 days instead of 90 cays for rendering his bill of exceptions, and that the trial judge be given only 10 days instead of 90 days. for signing it. And that the cause be then submitted

CORN CLUBS in.
NORTHERN STATES
Success OF Movement An South
Encourages Government
Offacia1s - Increase
In Yield.

Owing to the success OF the boys
corn clubs in the south, the depart
ment Of agriculture has been asked to
carry this line of work farther, and
1t is doing so in organizing boys po-
tato clubs in the north, beginning with
New England. This work has been
placed in charge OF W. J. Spillman Of
the Office Of farm management. The
first seasons work will commence this
summer The boys will be given a
measured acre each, and will be fur
nished with instructions from the de-
partment as to growing and cultivat-
Ing the crop.
What the result will be is, of course,
still impossible to foresee, but, judg-
ing from the success of the corn club
movement, it is likely to be of value.
This corn experiment was the con-
ception Of the late Dr. s. A. Knapp.
In the three years Of work while he
was alive the number Of boys in the
corn clubs increased to $4,000.
The average corn crop Of the United
States is about % bushels to the acre.

Summer care of the flock is easy
II You have plenty OF grass, water and
shade. I always have good pastures,

sonally, prefer blue grass slightly

A frequent change also gives the

My sheep always have access to
shade and plenty of fresh water. /
am Of the opinion that standing water
is always more or less infected with
dangerous parasites.
MY only means of protection against
the gadfiy is to pillow few burrows
bwhere the sheep stand in the shade.
A close watch must be kept through

Of the wool, caused by wet tags. /
also note the general health SO that

Salt Is kept in the pasture all the

a mixture which have used and
found very helpful in combating para
sites, especially stomach worms.
The formula is: Salt, one bushel;
air-slaked lime, one peck; sulphur, one
gallon; pulverized resin, two quarts;
copperas, one pound. Thoroughly pull
verize and mix. Keep in a. dry place
before sheep constantly.
Another good way to combat stom-
