Farmers Under Great Expense.

In recent address President X. A. |
Pearson OF the Iowa State College re-
ferred TO a great misunderstanding
in reference TO the price of farm pro-
ducts. He declared that the advances
In the price OF farm products do not
amount to anything like what is com
monty believed Here is an extract
from his talk before the Kansas State
Board OF Agriculture:
"Omcial records show that farm
prices have advanced in recent peri
cd of years in many instances as
much as 100 per cent. But these rec
ords do not show that comparison is
being made with prices that were i'm
possible because they were ruinous.
In the '90's corn and oats were sell
ing for prices that were little II any
above the value of the fertility that
they removed from the farms.
Fertility is a necessary part of the
farm product and should be included
In its cost, just as the material going
into a suit of clothes should be in
cluded in the price of the suit.
"Other industries were not being
operated ON a losing basis; hence the
advance in prices should not, in fair
ness. be MS great as the advance In
farm products. Furthermore. the adj
vance of farm products which the
consumers complain of is not due so
much to the additional amount which
the farmer is receiving as the extrav-
agant Increases which take place be-
tween the farmer and the final con-
sumer. If some farm products were
to be given away by the farmer,
enough would be added to them, UNI
der present methods, before final con-
sumption. to cause serious protest.
again, IL must be remembered
that farmers are under great expense
as they must buy materials and Ia
Dor. These expenses have increased
at the same time that the selling pric.
es have increased
'In one year recently, the fedora
reports show that the average selling
prices OF agricultural products In
creased rs per cent. In the same
year the average selling prices O
building materials increased 1o.7 pei
cent.
!. Farmers use enormous quantities
OF building materials. Farmers arr
not getting rich because OF the In
creased prices which they are receiv
| ing. II they are getting rich 1t mus
be due to their superior methods o
their ability to borrow more on tn
increased values OF their property.

GOOD OMEN FOR
DEFENCE IS BELIEF
Sudden Stop Held To Be Big
Advantage for Woman Ac-
cused of Murder.
rBy Telegraph to The Tribune J

New Haven, July 1.-THE illness OF
a Juror brought the trial of Mrs. Bes-
sic Wakefield held for killing her hus-
band, TO a sudden stop this afternoon.
The halt has come al time decidedly
advantageous, IL is believed, TO the de-
fence, as il is contended that the pres
ent proceedings can result only IN q
mstral. The contention is based
chiefly on the persistent introduction
of evidence taken at the former trial.
Not only does this evidence have no
weight IN the present action, the law
yers assert. but they argue that Judge
Reeds ruling admitting it is doubly
improper as the former proceedings re-
suited in a mistrial. The judge, how
ever. repeatedly has permitted parts
Of evidence giver then to be read to
witnesses in the present trial.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Gillette, OF
Bristol, who lived in the fiat over
that of the Wakefelds, were impor-
tant state witnesses to-day. Both tes-
titled that Mrs. Wakefield remarked TO
them, shortly before the murder OF
her husband:
~ wish he was dead. II he we're
would marry tomorrow"
Both told of being awakened by a
fierce quarrel in the Wakefield fat
about II o'clock on the night of June
%. 1918, and of hearing Wakefield
shout Don't choke me, jim" Both
testified that they heard rush through
the house and later heard Mrs. Wake
field trip over the drainpipe outside
the house.
Mrs. Wakefield came upstairs the
next morning, Mrs. Gillette testified,
and asked if she heard the noise of
quarrel. She said she had had fight
with her husband and that he had left
her and might not return. Later that
morning, while Mrs. Wakefield was
seated on the steps, James Plew came
up the mountain road. He entered the
house with Mrs. Wakefield and they
remained there some time.
The hour at which the couple left
the house, according to the Gillettes.
fits that set by the prosecution and
dovetails the narrative of the Gillettes
to that of the trolleymen, who gave
testimony yesterday, whereby Mrs.
Wakefield and Plew were traced on a
car to the point where the murder
had taken place several hours before.
The testimony of the Gillettes had
reached this point yesterday when
John Hubbell, Monroe farmer, seven
ty-two years old, collapsed from heat
in the jury box. Judge Reed hastily
adjourned court until Tuesday. A ply
stefan said tonight that two or three
DAYS rest would restore Mr. Hubbell
