:. -. IN FRANK CASE
Pfcsssutor Promises Sensation When the
- :Hearing Is Begun To-
49, day.

Alfalfa, Ca, May Interest in the
OUTCOME of the extraordinary motion for
i..new trial for Leo M. Frank has been
Ierefshadowed by developments in regard
to Rev. G. B. Ragsdale. who made affi-
davits for Franks attorneys that he
overheard the negro, Conley, admit he
killed Mary Phagan and later repudiated
the affidavit, alleging that he was the
victim of "frame-up."
Although Franks attorneys have
stricken out the Ragsdale affidavit, So
licitor Dorsey said he would SHOW up
the whole matter" when the hearing on
the motion for new trial is resumed
to- day Dorsey has mass of evidence
in regard to the methods used to procure
the Ragsdale affidavit and sensational
disclosures are promised.
1t is said that disbarment proceedings
may be started against certain lawyers
and that the grand jury has been asked
to return indictments for perjury and
subornation of perjury.
After a visit from members of his
church, Rev. Mr.. Ragsdale resigned as
pastor. r. L. Barber, who backed up
the Ragsdale affidavit, is missing and is
being sought by detectives.
Rev. Mr.. Ragsdale refuses to talk, but
his son denounces w. j. Burns, alleging
that the detective took advantage of the
aged preacher.
Burns, resenting the charge, issued a
statement denying he had been party
to frame up"
Solicitor Dorsey said that the state
was prepared to rebut all the evidence
offered by the defense.
1--WE will expose some things that will
cause a shock" said Dorsey, land the
persons responsible must answer"
The final report of Detective Burns,
which has been submitted to counsel for
the defense and part of which has been
made public, probably will be made pub
lie in its entirety in the presentation of
evidence at the hearing to-day.

than a walk. One round trip, each
trip straddlinga wheel track, is usually
sufficient to fill the ruts and smooth the
surface. If necessary, the road should
be dragged after every bad spell OF
weather, when the soil is in proper con-
dition to puddle we'll and still not adhere
to the drag. If the road is very bad, it
may be dragged when very wet and
again when it begins to dry out. A few
trips over the road will give the operator
an idea as to the best time to drag. Drag
at all seasons, but do not drag a dry road.
The slope or crown of an earth road
should be about 1 inch to the foot. If
the crown becomes to high, it may be
reduced by dragging toward the ditch
instead of from it. If the drag cuts too
much, shorten the. hitch and change
your position on the drag. If it is
necessary to protect the face of the drag
with strip of iron, it should be placed
flush with the edge of the drag and not
projecting. A cutting edge should be
avoided, as the main object in dragging
is to smear the damp soil into position.

TURKESTAN ALFALFA INFERIOR

A warning to alfalfa growers to avoid
the use Of commercial seed is contained
in Department Bulletin No. 1873, of the
U. S. Department Of Agriculture, which
is shortly to be issued under the title
Commercial Turkestan Alfalfa Seed
Specialists of the Department have
been investigating the comparative
merits of different kinds of alfalfa seeds
and have reached the conclusion that
there is nothing to recommend the
Turkestan variety for general use in this
country. It is, they say, particularly
unsuited to the humid climate Of the East
which, as matter of fact, uses most of
the Turkestan seed imported into this
country. This seed is also not sufficient
ly hardy to warrant its general use in the
upper Mississippi Valley, where hardi-
ness is an important factor. The in
vestigators, however, are careful to dis
tinguish between commercial Turkestan
alfalfa and special strains Of hardy
alfalfas that have been developed from
certain introductions Of seed from Tur-
kestan. Valuable varieties Of alfalfas
uestionably exist in central Asia, but

DAIRY MEN BACKING BENSON.

Senator Henry N. Benson of St. Peter,
is up for reelection, and the creamery
and dairy men of Nicollet and Sibley
counties owe him not only their votes
but all the work they can do in his behalf.
Here in St. Paul we have an unusual
opportunity to watch the work of the
men the people send to the legislature,
and you did not need to get in very close
touch with the legislature doings during
Senator Benson's term to be impressed
with the standing which his ability,
honesty and energy have made for him.
He introduced and succeeded by hard
work in having passed the Minnesota
butter brand law,the anti discrimination
law, the acidity and the neutralizer
laws, also the first oleomargarine law,
and he was the main champion of the
second cleo law now on the books, the
passage of which was fought fiercely by
the cleo people. All these laws and other
dairy laws which Senator Benson has
championed are Of greatest Importance
to the continued prosperity and future
development Of the dairy industry, and
the farmers of Nicollet and Sibley
counties will return Mr.. Benson to the
senate to continue good work, if they
know their own interests. They have in
him as clean and able man as ever came
in here to represent the farmers, man
they may well feel proud of, a man, who
not only is sincere and honest, but who
has the ability to accomplish things for
his constituents, and who stands I'M
fiinchingly for the farmers first, last and
all the time. adv

At the present time, approximately
one-fifth of the alfalfa seed used in the
United States is imported. OF this
quantity, practically all IS per cent in
the last twslve months comes from
Russian Turkestan. In the European
market, commercial Turkestan is the
cheapest seed available; in this country
it's wholesale price is less than that of
domestic seed. In spite of this fact,
however, mistaken belief in it's superior
qualities has resulted in raising it's retail
price to point frequently above that of
domestic seed. No such preference is
shown in the alfalfa growing regions of
Europe. There French seed is common
ly considered the best, with Italian
ranking next, and Turkestan last. Under
these circumstances, very little French
and Italian seed finds it's way to the
United States, the bulk OF the impor-
tations being, as already stated, the cheap
commercial Turkestan.
Fortunately, growers who wish to
avoid this variety can readily identify
it by the presence of Russian knapweed
seeds. These seeds have not been
found anywhere. except in commercial
Turkestan seed, and here they are
practically always present. Russian
knapWeed is in some ways similar to
quack grass, Johnson grass and Canada
thistle, spreading both by seeds and
underground rootstocks. The seeds are
slightly larger than those Of alfalfa and
cannot all be removed by any practicable
method of machine cleaning. Their
chalky white color makes them especially
conspicuous, and their symmetrical form
slightly wedge shaped distinguishes
them from the notched seed of other
species often found in varieties of alfalfa
from other sections. The knapweed
seeds, however, are not usually found in
large quantities and any lot Of alfalfa
should, therefore, be examined in bulk.
The examination of small samples is not
sufficient to show whether the alfalfa
comes from Turkestan or not.

IMPORTANCE OF ROAD II MAIN
TENANCE AND REPAIR.

There is no phase of the road problem
more important than that of maintenance
The general impression that there
are certain types of roads that are
permanent is erroneous. No permanent
road has ever been constructed, or ever
will be, according to the road specialists
of the department. The only things
about road that may be considered
permanent are the grading, culverts, and
bridges. Roads constructed by the
most skillful highway engineers will soon
be destroyed by the traffic, frost, rain,
and wind, unless they are properly main
tanned. But the life of these roads may
be prolonged by systematic maintenance.
A poor road will not only be improved by
proper maintenance, but may become
better in time than good road without
it.
The first and last commandment in
earth road maintenance is to keep the
surface we'll drained. To insure good
drainage the bitches should be kept open,
all distractions removed, and smooth
crown maintained. Except for very
stony soil the road machine or scraper
may be used very effectively for this
work. The machine should be used once
or twice year, and the work should be
done when the soil is damp, so that it
will pack and bake into hard crust.
Wide and shallow side bitches should be
maintained with sufficient fall and
capacity to dispose of surface water.
These bitches can in most places be con-
structed and repaired with a road
machine. A AZ n
All vegetable matter, such as sods and
weeds, should be kept out Of the road,
as they make a spongy surface, which
retains moisture. Clods are also OBJ
jectionable, for they soon turn to dust
or mud, and for that reason roads should
never be worked when dry or hard.
5Bowlders or loose stones are equally OBJ
jectionable if smooth surface is to be
secured. I'll IS I'LL i.
A split-log drag or some similar device
is very useful in maintaining the surface
after suitable bitches and cross section
have once been secured. This drag can
also be used to- advantage on a gravel
road as well as on an earth road. The
principle involved in dragging is that
.clays and most heavy soils will puddle
when wet and set very hard when dry.
The little attention that the earth road
needs must be given promptly and at the
proper time if the best results are to be
obtained. /! II VI b IN
In dragging roads only small amount
of earth is moved, just enough to fill the
ruts and depressions with q thin layer
of plastic clay or earth which packs very
hard SO that the next rain instead Of
finding ruts, depressions, and clods in
which to collect runs of, leaving the
surface but little affected. & 81
The drag should be light and should
be drawn over the road at an angle Of
about As. The driver should ride
on the drag and should not drive faster
