Professor Waugh, who experimental
as a fruit-grower and not as a bee
keeper, proved that bees. az polliniz-

DEAD" MAN WALKS TO COURT
Id, MITIGATION in Chicago May Be Only
Trick Of the "Heathen
Chinee."

Chicago-As the jury was completed
to try Harry Eng Hong. charged with
the murder OF Mock Chung In a Chi
nese gambling house in 1913. an ORR
entail walked into Judge Barretts
room in the Criminal court building
and announced that he was MOCK
Chung. His announcement caused a
sensation.
The attorney for the defendant told
the court that the man who was killed
was Jung Long and a marriage IL
cense also would be introduced in evil
dence to prove that the supposed muir
dered man is among the living.
According to Assistant States At
torney John O'Brien the state hopes
to prove that Mock Chung was reall!
murdered and that the man who az
peared in court possesses the sam
name as the dead man.

DON'T CROWD ORCHARD TREES
Where Planted Too Close Together
Cultivation 10 Prevented ana
Spraying Made Difficult.

Misinformation is given In certain
sections concerning the proper dis
lance between trees in an orchard.
II has been recommended by certain
uniformed nurserymen that trees be
planted about Is feet apart each way,
whereas they should be 80 to Az feet
apart.
II planted too close. they can
not be cultivated or sprayed to good
advantage. The limbs grow upright
and make picking difficult. Further
more, shaded portions OF the tree
will not set a normal crop.
The horticultural department OF the
Nebraska Agricultural college says
that the proper distances for the dif-
ferent trees are as follows: Cherries
and peaches, 20 feet; and apples, 80
to 40 feet except Whitney crab and
duchess and other upright varieties,
which may be planted but % feet
apart.
