NEWS SERVICE
TO Be EXTENDED

Washington, D. c., Nov. 13-As a
result Of requests from editors and edi
torial associations in many states, the
U. s. Department of Agriculture has
announced that the November crop re-
ports for each state will be supplied
to the newspapers in all states through
the Central Weather station located
in each Of the states.
This is an extension of the expert
ment:ng of telegraphing the state crop
returns to the Central Weather Station
in each of the nine states and having
these kilograms duplicated at once and
mailed to the newspapers and agricul-
tural publications. Under this plan
newspapers in 80 additional states will
now receive full details of the state
crops far more quickly than would be
possible if these state crop details wer
put in the mails in Washington and
had to travel by train long distances
to the more remote states.
Under this plan the general sum-
mary of the crops for the United
| States will, as heretofore, be issued
in Washington for tclcgraphc distri-
button. It has been found however,
that the conditions Of crops within
their particular states are Of espeeia
value to the farmers and producers, to
whom the conditions in their own state
are important in the marketing Of the
produce.
Under this plan the department
sends one telegram to the Central
Weather Bureau in each state, and
W he few minutes after the crop
dgrres for the state are completed in
Washington the weather bureau is en-
able to mail copies Of the figures from
central within the state to all papers
in that state.
Under the code system used, the de.
pa,tment is under the necessity Of tel
egraphing only a few figures, as the
figures of previous crops for compar-
ison are supplied to each weather bu-
reau station by mail. The cost Of the
telegram for each state does not ex.
ceed IS cents.
The crop data thus circulated by
mail to the newspapers will give: (a)
a full list Of the crops; (b) the aver.
age condition Of each crop for ten
year periods in that particular state;
(c) the condition of the state crop for
Novemtcf 9th. In the adjoining col
umn will be given the same data for
the United States, so that the farmers
who read these notices can compare
the crols of their own state as Of No.
vcmber eth with the ten-year period
averages Of their own state, and in
the same way with the average condi'
tion throughout the United States on
November 9th and for ten years.
Those state crop reports are not sup
Piled to individuals and are mailed
only tc editors of regular publications.
Tho November state crop reports for
the 80 states newly added to the list
will be sent only to the daily papers,
the county seat papers, and agricultur'
al publications. Meanwhile the de-
part,nent is preparing lists of small
town weeAlies and in December the
crop reports will be sent also to the
smaller papers.

verdict of guilty and brand Arthur B.
Widney white SLAYER, Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Berry at IL o'clock this
morning commenced the opening ar
gument for the prosecution before Su-
perior Judge Dunno.
Berry asserted that Widney's de-
his story does not ring true. his
money is stage money and the lie is
thrown in his teeth on many occa-
sions"
Berry advanced the argument that
best corroborative evidence was in
the telegram which Widney. under an
assumed name. sent Noel Murphy ask
ing for $35.
Here is the case of a man." de-
c1ared Berry. who says he is making
more than $1,000 a month. and yet
he puts up the weak defense that he
needed s35, alleging that the Murphy
woman owed him $50. Do you believe
that?
Certainly man who is making
large sums of money each month is
not going to compromise for s35 If
a person owes s50."
Judge Robert Widney of Los An
geles, father of the defendant, COM
menced his argument shortly before
noon. Judge Dunno will charge the
jury about o'clock this afternoon,
and a verdict is expected shortly
afterward.
