FargoN. D., Aug. 30.-Judge E. T.

Sunday hunting law.
The purpose of the case is to test
the law, and it is aimed to have SUI
preme court decision if possible. It
is alleged that the law was broken on
May 20, when the defendant was
found shooting crows and hunting.
Judge Cole found the defendant
guilty, whereupon the counsel for the
defendant filed motion in arrest OF
Judgment, which the court denied
>Thereupon the defense gave notice OF
.an appeal from the courts order, de,
nying the arrest Of judgment. Passing
of sentence was staid until the deter

cases would be prosecuted. It wal
stated that the attorney general ha:
directed such information to the gam
wardens. Later, Attorney Genera
LANCER denied this, saying such case
rested with the states attorney.

Mother DEAD


ner Daily Journal Of Winner, S. D.,
chronicles the death of one Of the most
noted and respected residents of South
Dakota, Mrs. F. M. Ziebach, mother Of,
G. NJ. Ziebach, Of this city. Mr.. lie
bach through cfrtunsta stances at home
was unable to attend the last sad rites,
and the sympathy Of his many friends
in this locality are extended to him in
the loss Of his respected and noble
mother.
Mrs. F. M. 'Ziebach passed away
clock after a short illness. The cause
Of death was heart failure.
Mrs. Ziebach was one Of the best
and favorably known ladies in the
state or South Dakota and northwest
ern Iowa, and her passing is mourned
by the state in general.
In 1857 she came with her husband,
who is known far and wide as Cover
nor Ziebach, to Sergeants Bluff, Iowa,
city, and now a junction point on the
Northwestern railway between Oma-
ha and Sioux City, from where they
moved to Sioux City where Mr.. lie
bach published the Sioux City Regis
ter. From there they moved to Yank-
ton where he established the Dakotan,
the first newspaper published in the
territory of Dakota, after it's organ
ization. When the war broke out Mr..
Ziebach was appointed captain Of the
South Dakota militia and was left to
guard the state. This office carried
with it the Office of Military Governor
and as such he dilivered messages to
the famous "mock legislature" When
Gregory county was opened up Mr..
Ziebach was appointed United States
G Commissioner and they later moved to
Winner when this county was opened.
! Through all these times Mrs. lie
bach was faithful companion and
the Governor points with pride to, the
fact that by her most able help as a
wife that he has accomplished what he
has.
Elizabeth Fisher was born in Ches.
ter county, Pennsylvania, on the 30th
day of June, 1927, therefore being sc
years, month and "a days of age al
the time of her demise. Later the
family moved to Damster, Pennsyl.
vania, where on Novembsr 6, 1855, she
was married to F. M. Ziebach, Of Lew
isburg, Penn, where he was engaged
in publishing a newspaper called -th'
Union-Argus. In 1857 they moved t

Mexico City, Sept. 2.-Renewed as
surances that Mexico will remain
neutral in the World war were given
by Pesident Carranza last night in his
message at the opening Of the regular
session Of the Mexican congress.
The president reviewed tn eefforts
the Mexican Government had made
toward peace, mentioning the note II.

INTERESTING INFORMATION
ABOUT RAISING OF SORGHUM

In response to an inquiry as to the
production OF syrup in sorghum. the
following questions were asked OF
Prof. Alvin Kezer. chief aEronomist
OF the Colorado Agricultural Expert
ment station:
How many tons OF cane can be OBJ
tanned per acre from an average crop
OF sorghum cane7
How many pounds OF molasses can
one make from a ton Of sorghum cane
Can one feed the fodder after it
has been through the miIl7
What variety OF cane is best for
this purpose"
Professor Kezer replied as follows:
You might get a different tonnage
Of sorgham cane from an acre in diff
ferent localities in different seasons
The tonnage will vary from Y TO 10.
Even higher tonnages might be pro
duced in occasional years under irri-
cation in warm regions such IS the
Arkansas valley.
-one ton OF sorghum cane VIII
yield about 200 pounds OF juice This
juice must be boiled down TO make
molasses. so that 200 pounds Of sor-
ehum juice will make about so gallons
of syrup or about 345 pounds OF sor
ghum syrup. The yield OF juice may
be found to vary between 700 pounds
and ZOO pounds 4 7OO-pound yield
Of juice will give about 10 gallons Of
syrup. OF about $50 pounds by weight
The fodder. after n is run through
the mill. can be fed. In fact. II 1t is
properly cared for by siloing Il makes
good feed. Amber cane is the only
kind TO attempt for sorghum purposes
in Colorado territory. The black am
ber will probably be preferable to the
red ambers. as they viii mature in
a shorter season. In the extreme
southeast portions OF the state. red
amber cane might be used. as il yields
heavier than black but requires n
longer season to mature"
