JURY "FIXlING."

An ugly story is being told at Chi
cago, III connection with court pre-
ceedings, of the alleged work of a
gang of some fifty people, including
saloon-keepers and others, in hrib-
ing jurors. The cost of fixing" a
murder jury is put at $4,000 to $4,000
less serious cases for smaller
amounts.
Is jury fixing" common? AS you
scan the faces of the average jury,
it does not seem above par as COM
pared with the run OF the community.
There is popular impression that
juries are rather "shy" in brains. But
even if so, it does not prove suscepti-
blity to money in fluence.
Disagreeab,e as jury service is to
business and professional mel, to
some it appears as attractive prize
The small fee is a windfall not e-si
ly to be acquired by many days o!
even weeks work.
The motive lading such men te
seek jury service is not usually cor
rupt. Rather it is a plum oftel
sought by men who are rather lack
ing in personal energy. 1t seems
easier to sit in a padded chair anl
listen to other peoples troubles
than to get out after your own bust
ness.
The fact that man has little taI
ent for pushing his own business
does not always mean that he vii
not make an honest and iatelligen
juryman. He may have acquired frcn
his failures very comfortable inde
pendent philosophy, which make
him able to look at things on thei
merits. Crookedness he despises
and he fears it's consequences. He i

DON'T LET UP LEN
CULTIVATING CROP
By JOHN H. PAGE,
Commissioner of Agriculture.

1t is my information that the rains
are general throughout the state, and
that the drouth has been broken. The
crops will now take on new growth,
and cultivation should continue. All
the moisture that has been taken up
by the soil should be saved for ma
turing the crops.
Many of the farmers have made it a
custom in the past to try to clay by
their crops of the Fourth Of July or as
soon thereafter as possible. This is
not for the best. The crops should be
cultivated as as long as it is profit
able. Keep the ground stirred and
the weeds~asd grass out. The same
rain that gives the crops new growth
will also give the weeds and grass
shallow The late cultivation in this
way pays. Shallow cultivation will
keep the moisture in the ground. 1!
it continues to rain at regular inter-
walls so much the better. If it does
not, then you are prepared to meet a
further drouth.
When corn is JUS. now tasseling it
would be, we'll to use about 100 pounds
to the ACRE of nitrate of soda. Scat
ter it freely in the mddles. If the
ground is too dry to absorb 1t freely
run light harrow between the rows.
The roots will find the fertilizer and
use it judiciously in making grain: 1t
is we'll to continue cultivating the
corn, even after it is in the silk. 1t
will make bigger yield.
Keep Cotton Clean.
Keep the cotton clean and stir the
soil lightly once a week if you can,
until the first open bolls appear. Cot
ton responds we'll to late cultivation
and makes bigger yields by it. Re-
member that you have had ali the
trouble and expense of preparing the
seeded, planting and early cultiva-
ton. Now. we are coming to the per-
iod of fruit making which is really the
most important. Help your crops to
put on all the fruit they can. IT grass
and weeds are allowed to grow IN the
crops they will be taking up good
part of the plant food and moisture
in the soil that the crops would use

without attention at the fruiting per-

and then feeding them on the outside

crowd in and eat part OF their feed,
and thus cut down the milk supply

PROGRESS IN THE KITCHEN.

The fact that thing has always
been done in a certain way-the nero
precedent-limits originality and
halts progress.
For example: In recent issue Of
the Survey the question why kitch-
en- sinks have been made so low was
discussed. No one seemed able to
explain. Finally certain maker
discovered that the original sinks
were made when the washing OIL
dishes and other sink-wOrk was dor<
~ wooden tubs with high sides. SucI
a tub when used in high sink cam,
up too far, so the sink was made low
Furthermore, as running water an,

the tub had to be lifted out OF ire
sing, and the lower the sink the
lighter the lift Though improve
ments in faucets, dish-pans and other
accessories of kitchen sinks have bet II
made, no one has seemed to realize
that the sink could be improved by
raising. So women were-and are
compelled to endure discomfort when
doing their ordinary household work.
There may be certain percentage
of inconvenience to be reached be-

that something must be altered. The

It is a fact that thousands of mothera

their children.
