CFrom Farm and Ranch)

Nothing adds more to the appear
ance of the farm home than shrub
berry of the right kind and when
placed propely on the lawn or in the
yard, Shrubs require less time and
care than animals. but both should
have a prominent place in every
yard.
The peanut is one of our most val
nable crops. it being adapted to
many types Of soil and to many diff
ferent purposes. When planted as
a commercial crop non-legume
might follow it, The best way to
use the peanut in the rotation is to
Craze the crop with hogs
Feed for work stock is always an
important item in planning the crops
for the year. Horses or mules re-
quire plenty of grain, hay and other
feeds suitable TO their needs. Is is
"A great mistake to fail in planting
sufficient feed crops. 1t is far bet
ter to have a surplus of feed crops
than to fail for any reason to pro-
duee enough.
This is the season that the hens
should be laying and If they are not
there must be a good reason. The
fowls should have plenty of the right
hind of feed; they should have clean
nests and runs, grit and water should
be within their reach.
The incubator should be kept busy
until all the chicks are hatched thai
you can take care of amply. Early
matched chicks have better chance
for life than the birds Matched late
insects are always more prevalent il
tate summer If the chicks are yer,
young at that time the mortality Il
apt to be high.
The little chicks should be protect
ed from cool. damp surroundings
There is nothing more detrimental Il
the health and mortality of the chick
than to let them out in the wet grass
early in the morning. The little
restless birds are always anxious to
get out and il permitted will dis
regard their own welfare.
Every rotation should planted SC
that one or more legumes will occupy
the land one or more times during
four years. The legume viii enrich
the soil in nitrogen and make it pro
duee larger crop of non-legumes
suhc as corn, cotton, oats, wheat and
grass.
Such legumes as cowpeas, soy
beans and peanuts may be planted
late in the spring or even early in
the summer. and II the season is at
all favorabl they will yield. Oats,
wheat, rye, barley, Irish potatoes,
etc.. may be followed by peas or soy
beans leaving ample time to mature

President Orme and Counsel Christy Leave for Wash ington to Confer With the Interior Department Chiefs

John P. Orme, president and George D. Christy, legal adviser of the Salt River Valley Water Users association left last evening for Washington, D. c. on a mission for the farmers to the sec retary of the interior. It is a case of Mahomet and the mountain.
 Time extension, the residence quail fcation, the project limit the forty acre homestead rule, project construc ton charges and funds for it's comple- ton, will be the topics which the two will take up with the department in the hope that, through the secretary, legislation and departmental orders may be secured, favorable to the water users.
 In the matter of time extension the farmers have an important issue at stake. There are half a dozen plans for the amending of the reclamation law to permit of the extension of time for repayment of construction charges. Some are favorable and some are dis tinctly not to the interests of the far mers. as evidenced by the approval and ulSdppIoNdi ol lllc SONtlHiliS DOuleS III half a dozen instances. The adminis- tration bill, which is practically known as the work of Director F. H. Newell, and introduced by Representative Smith of Texas is one of the bills against which the water users hope to combine successfully. This bill pro- vides for the extension of time of re- paying the project cost just two years. The farmers have asked for ten.
 Representative Hayden has proposed substitute, which will extend the date ten years and so graduate the pay ments as to be easy on the farmer and yet make a big return to the reclama- tion fund
 The special attention of the two mis- sioners is directed against the Smith residence clause, which would permit owners of project land to remain 1 away from their holdings five years then specifying three years residence | right on the land
 As to the project limits, there seems to be no dispute. The survey board is Continued on Page Six)

 VERDICT IS READ
But Refuses to Aid Attor- neys Further With Their Insanity Plea, and There seems No Hope of Com mutation
TAssoC1ATEn PRESS prspATcH1


 NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-Hans Schmidt was found guilty today of murder in the first degree of killing Anna Au- muller, a young woman he had mar ried through a self-performed cere- mony while acting as priest at St. Joseph's church. The penalty for the crime is death in the chair at Sing Sing prison. Sentence will be pronounced Wednesday.
 Schmidt whose defense was insanity, laughed when the verdict was pro- nounced He has steadfastly declared himself guilty and at arraignment pleaded to be punished by death. Later he protested against the insanity de- fense advanced by his counsel and to- night said he would not assist them if they prepared to appeal
 T would rather die tonight than to- morrow" he said, '"it is at it should be and I wish it.
 At his second trial the jury was out but a few minutes less than five hours. At the first trial the jury disagreed. Alienists of the prosecution and de- fense supplied most of the testimony in both trials.
 A. G. Keelbe, Schmidt's counsel as- serted after the verdict that owing to the former priests persistent, silence concerning the crime it had not been possible to place all the facts before the jury. He said Schmidt was not guilty of murder but had shielded physician after the Woman's death. She was not murdered, the lawyer de- clared If the police would display any energy he said they could get at the truth. The lawyer was undecided as to whether he would take appeal. Father Schmidt will never go to the electric chair he added.
 Anna Aumuller's body was cut up with a knife in Schmidt's flat on Sep tember ?, the pieces in several bundles, were tossed into the Hudson River, where most of them were found before suspicion was directed against Schmidt. The head was never recovered. Schmidt in confession said he was command i ed to make a sacrifice" of the Aumul- Ter girls life by his patron, St. 1; Elizabeth.

Muret a dentist. ] Schmidt's friend and companion, who was arrested shortly after the ex- priest was accused of murder, was l sentenced on october to seven years in the federal penitentiary at Atlanta 1 after a conviction for counterfeiting. : Schmidt testified at Murets trial that is was he and not Muret who planned the counterfeiting operations.

 ESCAPE TO HILLS
Both Rebels and Federals Are Turning Their At tention to Requirement of Arms and Ammunition from United States
ASSOCIATED PpEss n1epArcIr1


 JUAREZ, Feb. 5.-MaXimo Castillo, the bandit leader, after tWenty-two of his men had been captured and exc cuted by the revolutionary force at Fl Vale, near Casas Grandes, set fire to the woodwork of the Drake tunned, which carries the Mexican Northwest ern through the continental divide and escaped to the hills, according to an official report received at the municipal cuartel today. The men captured were summarily executed yesterday, the re- port says. Castillo's depredations oc- cured today.
 The Drake tunnel runs through the soft earth and the burning wood sheathing may cause heavy loss by the cave in. Castillo is the joint product of predatory instincts and thwarted ambition and was formerly chief body guard to Francisco Madero In the present revolution he and his band of fifty-six followers have been raiding non n-cOmbatants.
 Castillo harrassed the Mormon col ony at C3sas Grandes and is charged with the murder of George Zarcey, a member Of the colony who when a pris- oner, failed to produce the ransom de- manded
 Just how the capture of the bandit detachment was accomplished was not stated in the report. In retreat. how ever, Castillo wrought what revenge he could. He ran ten cars of lumber into the tunnel, says the report and set fire to the train. He next removed what provisions he could carry from a car loaded with supplies, ran it on a wood en bridge and set fire to the car, which with the bridge was destroyed. Two locomotives were also destroyed.
 The rebels placed orders today for 1,100,00O Mauser cartridges, 10000 car pines and 5000 rounds of shrapnel for use in the campaign against Torreon In addition they hope to obtain much of the supply of rifles and ammunition impounded by the United States gov ernment in the last two years in time for use in the movement southwark
 Although. Fl Paso will be the chief point through which General Francisco Villa will import ammunitions and arms for the attack on TorreOn, compara- lively few arms were brought from the American side today. The lifting ot the embargo found dealers in Fl Pasc unprepared to supply arms in any quantity.
 From Chihuahua came word that General Villa might return to the bor- der in a few days to facilitate the pur- chase Of ammunition. One carload oi ammunition was ready to be takeT across the river when it was stopped b"@dCSA lad no' ! ."n paid fO:
