paign is being made by the Kansas

inspection 4. and were finally shipped to
Kansas City and there graded and
sold at a price, sc me shipments top

Officers Fail to Solve Ottawa Murder
Mystery.

Ottawa, June 1S.-Two chickens may
play an important part in the case of
Angie Edwards. colored, who is charg-
ed with the murder of Fred Hilbert,
also colored. When Holbert's body was
found, three chickens were in a sack
under his shoulders. One was dead
The chickens are very similar to ones
at the Fred Clayborne home in the
Chippewa Hills and the officers believe
that the chickens were placed under
Holbert's body TO convey the idea that
he had Teen killed while stealing
chickens.
Sheriff Nick Johnson and County
Attorney F. Waddle went to the
Clayborne home and took the two re-
naming chickens. Strings were tied
about their feet to mark them and the
fowls were turned loose with the other
chickens on the farm. The two i'm
mediately ass" dated themselves with
the other fowls and appeared to be
familiar with the premises. The Off
GERS believe this to be a strong point,
contending that it would establish the
supposition that the chickens were
taken from the Clayborne flock when
the killing of Holbert was contem-
plated.

STAFFORD COUNTY WHEAT.
Yield Not as Heavy But Acreage Is
Greater.

ST. John, Kan, June 1S.-The
weather of the past week has been
fine for the wheat and harvest is now
not over two weeks off Rains and
warm weather have done much to fill
the wheat berries and it is believed
that practically all the large acreage
will be cut, despite reports to the con-
trary. The most conservative eSti
mates now place the average yield, the
county over, at ten bushels to the acre.
It is thought the average yield will be
less than in recent years but the total
yield may be larger because of the
extremely large acreage put out.

ANNUAL COVER CROPS

The annual cover crops should be
sown sometime during the early part
of September. Many have already
planted vetch, some have planted
rye, or oats in the orchard, and these
crops will be up and growing we'll be-
fore the fruit is gathered from the
orchard. Early planting is especially
valuable in many regions In regions
where winter injury has been common
the planting of some form of clover
crops close to the trees in time to
make sufficient growth to remove the
surplus water from the soil and cause
the trees to go into winter quarters
without any soft or unripened wood is
sure to produce beneficial and helpful
results.
Rye Is a good crop for this, if sown
early. Winter vetch is also good
crop. but has the objection of being
very expensive. When once seeded
however, it can be grown as an an
nual cover crop for several years. If
1t is let grow in the spring until mid
spring or early summer, when it will
have developed seed that will remain
practically dormant all summer and
start into growth in early fall.
The planting of permanent cover
crops such as clover and alfalfa
should be thoroughly considered be-
fore it is undertaken. These crops
require that the water supply be suf-
flclent for growing both the orchard
crop and the cover crop at the same
time. Glover can be grown for one
very beneficial results. Alfalfa can
be grown for one or two years and
then the surface soil thoroughly disk
ed and worked up until it looks like
plowed field and in that way a
great deal of vegetation that falls
on the surface can be worked into the
surface soil. Alfalfa is difficult To
eradicate and should not be planted
