For the sixth time in as many months
Victor Fernani, tobacconist at 635
Fitzwater street, was robbed early to-
day by thieves who jimmied open the
front door. Fernani places his total
loss from the six burglaries at $4,000.
The loss today was small. The
thieves were interrupted and frightened
away by Dominic Donate, roomer in
the Fernani home, who was awakened
by the noise they made.
The present home, Fernani said ,
had been broken into twice before to-
day, and his former dwelling, at 900
Fitzwater street, had been entered three
times since the first of the year.

Make MONEY RAISING BARLEY
Experiments Show It Will surpass
Corn 40 Ration for Fattenin0
Hogs II Properly Fed.

Experiments at the Wisconsin ex.
pertinent station show that barley will
surpass corn as ration for fatte.ling
hogs If it is properly fed. Twelve
lots of pigs we're fed, using with some
a corn ration, while the others were
given barley. The return for each
pig over the cost of feed was $14.3S
for the barley-fed pigs, and $1238 for
the c0rn-fed porkers.
One of the most Interesting facts
brought out was the value Of barley
and whey combination, which netted q
handsome return, and the gains made
with this ration were very rapid.
If you are In a region which is sviit-
ed for the production Of barley, or II
you have been using it as nurse crop
for alfalfa, do not be discouraged by
the prospect of a lower price, due to
the curtailing Of the use of barley in
the brewing industry. Perhaps 1t will
pay you more than ever as a feed for
your hogs and your other live stock.

and they were continually pleading
that they were losing money in the
state. It is not improbable that they
did make but little, or actually SUI
fered losses, because of the wasteful
nature of private hail insurance.
Uninsured Complain.
There are some complaints over the
awards at the present time, because
81 an acre does not cover the farmers
loss in case hail takes his crop. The
cost of wheat growing in the state up
to the harvest point is hardly less than
$50 an acre. Most of the complaints.
however, are over the fact that the
legislature did not make the system
compulsory. Some farmers withdrew
because Of the wild rumors set afoat
by the anti-farmer politicians about
assessments as high as 81 and 50 an
acre and then were hailed out.
One such farmer, who is now a great
booster for the system, would have re-
ceived $4,000 from the state had he
not taken bad advice. A neighbor
with smaller acreage than he had re-
ceived $4,000. Education from this
years experience, however. will prob
ably make a move for compulsory
amendment unnecessary.

HOLD POTATOES NOW
SAYS MARKET expert
Short Crop Warr1hts Better Prices
Farmer Rush Causes Drop.

st. Paul, Minn.-"Market conditions
warrant q potato price of more than
81 q hundredweight at the loading
station" declares J. A. Whitaker,
Market expert for the Cooperative
Wholesale Society with headquarters
in this city.
Mr.. Whitaker is of the opinion that
the recent drop to $50 a hundred
weight is largely due to the eagerness
Of the growers in rushing to the mar
ket, and that II the farmers will hold
of, they will receive better prices.
In support of his opinion Mr.. Whit.
aker points out that last year the
country raised 90,000O00 bushels of
potatoes; whereas the best estimate
which the department Of agriculture
can make for this year is $4,000, 900
bushels. q decrease Of 141.o00,000
bushels or over 27 per cent. Mime
sofa is 30 per cent short and many
sections of the country which are
normally self-supporting, viii not have
enough this year for seed.
The large dealers are forcing down
the market as much as they can to
an up their warehouses with cheap
goods.
Mr.. Whitaker also warns Of the ten
dency to ship potatoes to Chicago on
the belief that the. best prices are
obtainable there. This practice gluts
one market and produces q price re-
action in the others. On September
II for instance, farmers and others
brought 149 cars to Chicago. On the

larger Chicago received 81 cars.

Evidence that it pays to treat wheat

IN reports Of q number Of dem0nstra-

hgents. Fields Of oats in Dubois coun-
ty, sown with seed treated with for
maldehyde for smut as recommended
by the United States department Of
agriculture and the State Agricultural
college, showed practically none Of the
disease, while fields planted from seed
hot treated contained about Is per

As a result Of the demonstration
conducted by the county agent in
Warren county it was found that a
plot of oats planted with 6htreated
seed showed 33 per cent smut. while
another plot in the same field planted
with treated seed was free from the
disease. Other oat fields throughout
the county that were not treated were
infested with the disease in amounts
varying from Z to 35 per cent.
. AS the result of the damage done by
wheat smut in Porter county, farmers
will lose about $4,000 on the crop,

Maximum SENTENCE
G|VENk C. TOWNLEY:
Jackson County (Minn.) Judge
Ends Notorious Trial With
90-Day Sentence.
COURT TRIES TO EXPLAIN
Joseph Gilbert, co-0efendant, Also
Given 90 Days-case Will Be 'Ap-
peaIed on Errors-Judge Attempts
to Meet Public Opinion.

JACKSON, Minn.-8oth Judge
Dean and County ATTORNEY e. II.
Nicholas issued long statements
seeking to justify, their attitude In
the trial Of A. c. Townley and
Joseph Gilbert when the defend
ants appeared before the court
last week for sentence.
Before passing sentence-eo
days in the jackson county jail,
tho maximum penalty under the
state law-the two officials assail.
ed the defendants, their counsels,
and persons, papers and ma0a-
zines defending their cause. Only
after 10 farmers Of jackson county
appeared In court, ready to sign
= bonds for TownIey and Gilbert
was It decided by the judge that
the existing bonds would be suffi-
Client and that new bonds would
be unnecessary.
In his statement before the court,
Nicholas charged that League agents
were "still preaching sedition. still
preaching open revolt, still preaching
the overthrow of the United States
Constitution" and charged that state
ments which might be construed as
advocating these things were made at
q recent meeting in st. Paul under the
auspices of the oNonpartisan League.
No such meeting under the League
auspices was ever held, and no League
officer or employe spoke at the meet
ing to which he referred. which was
sponsored by an organization having
nothing to do with the League.
Public Opinion Felt.
Nicholas also attempted to squirm
out of the admission he made in court
that he had not aided Teigen in the
sale of his anti-League book, but was
forced to admit, in the light Of tho
evidence produced by League papers,
that he had had correspondence with
Teigen, who was then and IS now
under federal Indictment for alleged
violation of the federal espionage
act.
Judge Dean denied that Mr.. Townley
had any constitutional right to ad.
dress the jury in his own behalf. and
charged the head of the Nonpartjsan
League was seeking to gain an unfair
advantage over the prosecution in 30
attempting. The dismissal of his at.
torneys by Mr.. Townley was charac.
terized by the Judge as subterfuge.
and the defendants were accused Of
posing as martyrs.
Tries to Answer Charges.
Judge Dean sneered openly ut the
Red Cross collections taken at League
meetings, grinnfng in derision so that
It was evident to the entire courtroom.
He made a bitter attack on George
Creel for an article which appeared in
Leslie's Magazine. and on the author
of another article appearing in the
Public. OF stories In other magazines,
such ~ the New Republic, the Nation
and the Outlook, which also assailed
tho conduct Of the trial. Judge Dean
said nothing. He admitted, however.
that the case had gained notoriety
throughout the nation.
A motion for q new trial in the case
probably will be heard within 60 days,
If . transcript Of the evidence can be
obtained by the attorneys for the de-
tense within that time.
