after being in session four and
half days. This is one of short
est terms of court ever held in
Jackson county.
Judge Gardenhire presided in
his usual efficient manner, and
with the able assistance of Attof-
ney General Officer and assist
ant, j. R. Michel, the business
of the court was dispatched with
speed.
Only ten tippling cases, pub

will continue to improve along
this line, until we will not have
any use for the Jail, and but little
use for the courthouse.
Only three prisoners were jail

months. A few other misdeamor<
cases were disposed of, or con-
tinued.

CHARRED BODY OF HUI.
man BEING FOUND in
WOODS NEAR BALD
HILL, PUTNAM co.
Believed to Be That Of Am
mon Hutchings.


iaD The charred bones of an
adult human being was found in
the woods near Bald Hill, about
fifteen miles southeast of this
city, on last Thursday. The dis
covery created a sensation thru
out that section. 1t is supposed
that the body is that of a white
man, who had been murdered,
and was burned in an effort to
conceal the crime.
The finding of the charred hu-
man bones is generally believed
to clear up the mysterious and
sudden disappearance, about
three weeks. of Ammon Hutch
ings, a farmer of the eighth civil
district of this county.
Hutchings, a white man about
IS years old, suddenly disappear
ed and nothing had since been
heard from him. He was a marri-
ed man and had a wife and sew
eral small children. He was
known to be devoted to his fami-
ly, and no plausible explanation
of his sudden disappearance could
be given. 1t is reported that the
last seen of him by anyone who
could recall the matter was when
he left a store where he had done
some trading.
1t is reported that the charred
bones found in the woods were
identified as those of Hutchings
by his relatives, partly from the
fact that a number of years ago
Hutchings received a bullet
wound in his head, and the ball
was never extracted, and the
charred skull found contained a
bullet imbedded in it. which evil
dently had been in it for a long
time. A ring known to have be-
longed to Hutchings and to have
been worn by him was found in
the ashes with the charred bones.
1t is reported that little doubt
exists in the section of country
where Hutchings lived but that
the charred bones found in the
woods are those of the missing
man. and it is generally believed
that he was first killed and that
and that his body was then burn
ed in an effort to conceal the
crime.
1t is said that as yet no tangi-
BILE clue has been found as to the
particulars of the crime. or its
perpetrators.
Although investigation is being
made by the relatives and friends
of Hutchings and no effort will
be spared to unravel the mystery
and apprehend and punish those
who are guilty of the gruesome
crime. II is said that the theory
has been advanced by some that
probably the killing grew out OF
trouble between participants ir
gambling; some thinking it likely
that gambling in the woods
where the charred bones were
found resulted in difficulty il
which Hutchings was killed, anC
that the guilty party of parties
seized with fear, sought to con
ceal the murder by cremating tn,
body of their victim.

of hogs can now be found in the
county and our stock is gradually
being made better. Get behind
the purebred sire and boost him
He pays big. We must improve
our methods of handling hogs.
Corn alone when fed from birth
to maturity does not pay much.
Experiments show that where
pastures are used as they should
be unlil the finishing period pork
can be produced at one half the
cost as where corn alone is used.
This means some loss to the
county as pasture crops are very
little grown. Put in a few
acres of Crimson clover this fall
for seed next year to use the fol-
lowing season for pasture. Also
arrange pasture for this season.
Clover, Rye, Rape, Vetch or AL
falfa are all good pasture crops.
Lets put Jackson county on the
map as a hog and corn county.
Cattle are holding their usual
place in number. Several pure
bred herd have recently come in
to county, and we are learning
more the value of the purebred
sire. The silo should lay heavy
on the minds of every farmer
with over 20 cattle. We know
they pay, that is not a question.
Write to some one or talk to
some one who has used them,
some one who has had experience.
Help your self and community by
making the first move. The silo
is a war measure and a profit in
in time Of peace as well.
County Fair 10 be Held in October.
There will be two days in Octo-
ber devoted TO a county fair. The
success will depend on the far
mer and business man, and it
must be a success. Talk this,
boost your county and begin now
to make arrangements to exhibit
something. Watch for further
notice of same. Germany our
common enemy at present holds
the world at bay because of
thorough cooperation of the peo-
pie in agriculture, business and
war and all activities that go to
make up government. An cx-
ample of the old motto in union
there is strength" Let's unite
our efforts in lnaking this rich
county of Jackson a place to be
sought for to build homes, rather
than a place lo be- left as soon as
We have accumulated a little.

JACKSON COUNTY FARM.
ERS DOING their BIT
TO INCREASE FOOD
SUPPLY.
Big Increase Over Last Year S
Crop.

CrOp.
In making an estimate of wha
Jackson county is doing to hell
meet the urgent call for more
food in the world we find the fol
lowing to be true.
Increase in Crops.
Our chef agricultural crop,
corn, shows an increase in acre
age over 1916 amounting to AZ
per cent. Peas show an increase
of 78 per cent, sorghum I56 pei
cent, Irish potatoes 80 per cent,
Sweet potatoes 65 per cent, Soy
beans 153 per cent, Hay 40 pei
cent, an average crop of oats,
and a decrease in wheat.
Condition Of Crops Good.
AS to condition of crops, corn
is doing well, was put in in bet
ter condition this year than ever
and is now cleaner from weeds
than in previous years. OF
course, it is little later than usual
due to cold, dry season at start,
but every indication points at
present to an extra large crop.
| find. however, a great many
farmers who are beginning to
lay by" their corn too soon.
Careful experiments by a great
many experiment stations show
that late cultivation pays big.
One can cultivate corn until some
tassels begin to show to advan-
tage, SO long as the cultivation is
shallow and does not disturb
roots. One barrel of water is
needed to mature ever large ear
of corn. Weeds and a hard
crust free the soil from the
moisture needed by the plant.
BY keeping a dust mulch with
the orchard harrow, or Gee Whiz
harrow, moisture can be held so
as to feed plant.
Hay. Oats, Peas. Sorghum, and Soy
Beans.
The early hay crop was cut
short to some extent due to cold
dry weather. Hay in general,
however, is looking good. Oats
have come out wonderfully in
past three weeks, and looks now
to be full crop. Peas are still be-
ing planted. Can be planted un-
til 18th of this month for hay
and do well. Sorghum is not
looking anything extra. Soy
beans, which is a comparably
new crop in this county is look
ing fine, except in cases where
small patches were planted and
rabbits bothered. This crop is
soon going to replace the cow
pea to a large extent, and it will
pay every farmer to watch the
patch in his community. For
hay or for hogs they are not ex-
celled. The berry crop is the
fullest in a long time. Other
fruits seem to be about J crop.
Several farmers have purchased
Gamers and are going to put ur
their own can goods. No better
move could be made.
Live Ssck Mast be improved.
AS to live stock. ! am sorry to
say that there are not as many
hogs in the county as usual due
to cholera and high prices. Far
