HOW PARSON BROWN
HELPED FARMERS
Studied Up Life History Of Hes.
sian Fly and Found Proven
tive Measures Advocated
By u. 8. Department OF
Agriculture

MARY, I've simply got to find out
what the Hessian Fly In and what II
Goes and why all the farmers are con
&nually talking about It without seem
eng TO do anything else," said Parsor
Brown 10 his wife, the other evening
Ae he returned from O trip through the
countryside. I'm going to write to
ehs Department of Agriculture and the
state experiment station and see II
cannot find out about the pest"
The letters were sent and few
Gays later several bulletins were re-
eeived by the Parson, who took them
into his study and read them thor
Nughly several times. He learned the
habits Of the Fly, that the eggs hatch
Az the late fall, and that the young
must have tender young wheat plants
upon which to feed and deposit them
Nelves, else they die. Finally i'm
FARMERS Bulletin GAO, OF the u. ..
Department Of Agriculture, he read
&he following statement:
"All practical measures to COM
the nature OF preventatives, look
ing (1) to the elimination OF the
pest In the young plants in the
fall, and (2) to the increasing OF
the vigor of the young plants in
order to enable them to counter
act the insects efforts when pres
ent Under the first come late
sowing, rotation OF crops, burn
4ng of the old stubble. and the de-
Wtruction of volunteer wheat.
Under the second should be class
cd the enrichment of the soil, It's
thorough preparation, and select
ing and properly sowing the best
seed"
In the same bulletin, he found dis
@usston of the value of some quick act
Rng fertilizer as preventive measure.
&he second statement was the follow
ing:
1.-THE application broadcast Of
some quick acting fertilizer con-
tanning large percentage of phos-
plate (phosphorus) made as soon
rs general infestation is apparent
will cause the plants to tiller more
freely and give them sufficient
vigor to withstand the winter and
thus increase the number Of
healthy stems the following spring.
. While it may seem far
! fetched to bring forward as o. pre-
preventive measure the enrich
?, ment Of the soil fertile soil will
produce plants that will withstand
with little injury attacks that will
prove disastrous to plants growing
on an Impoverished or thin soil.
; 1t Is also on the thin or
Impoverished soils that the diff
fully of sowing late enough to
evade the fall attack and at the
same time secure a growth suf-
, fcient to withstand the winter is
encountered, and whatever can be
done to obviate this difficulty will
constitute preventive measure"
MARY, I've not only found out about
the Hessian Fly, but I've found out
how the Government advises that the
pest be combatted, and I'm going to
get a supply of these bulletins and put
the proposition up to the farmers in
this community" said Parson Brown.
So during the next week, he spent
much of his time talking Hessian Fly
to the farmers, and the indications are
that his work is going to mean more
and better wheat per acre in that
county.

Editor Henry Is
 Found Not Guilty

Showing that the policy of free dom of the press still exists, at least to a considerable extent, even in interior Alaska, the jury which sat on the case of the United States Ns. George Hinton Henry Tn com missioner's court last Thursday af ternoon, found the defendant not guilty. Henry, who is the editor of the Socialist Press, since his arrest known as the Free Press, was charged with criminal libel, the complainant in the case bciE, George Harrington. lie Ebel was alleged to have been committed agai, t L.aura Harrington, daughter of the com plainant, who has figured prominent ly in several of the rape trials in district couu.
 The witnesses for the government were Laura Harrington, Clerk of Court J. E. Clark and Grace Carey The defendant took the stand in his oNA DCHGll hHu IOll iN4lLttL Ilo HdS also a witness for the defense.
 All Of the testimony was to the effect that the conversation printed by Henry in his paper, and which was alleged to have been libelous took place at the head of the front stairs leading into the court room in the federal building, and not in the district attorneys office, as was stated in Henry's article. It also showed that the girl had said the words But 1 wouldn't tell on you" but that she had said them only when Richards had spoken of flu ture friendship between them by say ing that he thought he had better stay away from her. It also showed that Richards had accosted the girl not vice versa, as was printed in Henry's paper. and that he had not used reprimanding words to her, as was also stated. Considerable was also said at the trial concerning Q time about two years ago when Richards had something to do with the girl, the talk being to the ef- feet that the district attorney would have had Richards indicted by the

 The court questioned Myers al considerable length and ended by saying: Well certainly are a mystery. think you are guilty and that you are one of the most foxy criminals I ever saw. And I am thoroughly of the opinion that the longer you are locked up the better off society in general will be"
 And after reading from the com piled laws of Alaska the sections applicable to the case. the judge sentenced Myers to serve Is months on the first count in the indictment: IS months on the second count and two years on the third count, mak- ing a total of five years Attorney Gillette then asked that a bond might be fixed pending appeal Judge Bunnen named the sum of $1O.0OO
 Johanson Gets His.
 Carl Johanson, the defendant in the larceny proceedings from Chat anika, was then called to his feet He had nothing to say when ques- toned by the court, but his attor- ney, Thomas A Marquam, said a few words bearing on the general good character of the defendant as a hard working man, and asking the court for leniency. He further stated that he believed his client to be innocent of the crime of which he stood convicted.
 In his sentencing statement, Judge Bunnell said that he did not think that JOhanson should be sent Out side, for the reason that it had been amply proven that he is hard working man and that he merely got into trouble at Chatanka which resulted in his conviction on the charge of larceny. He also read from the statutes the section which provides punishment for the offense and also section which allows the court to exercise his discretion in the matter of sentences on con viction of all crime except murder and rape. But he also said that he could find nothing in the law which would permit him to merely fine the man. And, sorry as l am to say it." concluded the judge, 1t is the judgment of this court that you be remanded to the federal jail in Fairbanks for a period of eight months"

the lesser charge. He had preyi- ousIy entered pleas of not guilty" tc both charges, but his attorney, S. H. MiIIwee, stated when the time came for trial, that his client de sired to change his plea.
 The defendant was then fnterro- gated by the court as to the plea be desired 10 enter. Apparently confused, Sutton said "Not Guilty" but quickly changed the plea to guilty"
 The district attorney then moved that the more serious charge against Sutton, that of rape upon Grace Carey, be dismissed on the ground that there was not sufficient eyi- dence to convict And the court 90 ordered.
 Laura Uerrington is the girl con nected with the charge to which Sutton pleaded guilty. And as there were no trials of the charges, the facts and details concerning them have not been made public.
 A date for sentencing Sutton has not yet been set. According to the law he faces a sentence of from one to fifteen years.
