ANOTHER APPEAL IN

state pen awaiting the hanging that
is due him next month for the muir

Of Williams. a year ago, appeared in
the superior court here Friday and
Mrs. Barth presented an argument to
Judge J. E. Jones to grant a certifi-
cate Of probable cause for appeal The
judge refused it,
Torres attorneys, according TO As.
sistsnt County Attorney Geo W. Har.
ben. have filed notice Of a new ap.
peal to the supreme court. Mr.. Har.
ben says this is strictly contrary to
their rights as accorded by law, as
section 9 of the initiative measure
says: From an order directing and
fixing the time for the execution of a
judgment as herein provided, there is
no appeal"
Both County Attorney Gold and
Mr.. Harden believe that the move IS
simply TO force delay in the execu.
ton. as while an appeal is pending
judgment cannot be carried out Nor
con Torrez be hung until after the APP
peal itself is received by and rejected
by the supreme court. The appeal
will be rejected, but il undoubtedly
will mean stay OF execution AMI
necessitate the trouble and expense Of
bringing the desperate back To Flag
staff for re-sentence.

The department of agriculture needs
to be sold" to the American farmer,
That farmer everywhere needs to be
aroused to the vital advantages of MAX
ing use of what it has to offer. The
lessons which it has learned in three
decades of scientific and practical study
need to be carried to every farmstead.
rms Is the view of the new secretary
OF agriculture. He, believes that his
job Is to sell the department to the
people, He holds that in. these times,
with the war over and the cupboards
OF the world empty, the primary ma
tional and world need is production.
Every mine, mill and factory in the
nation should be working at top speed
that the markets of the ration and of
the world may be supplied. There is
stupendous opportunity of profit in sup
plying them, but there is also a stu
pendous possibility of serving a great
and helpful purpose in the world.
AND in this scheme of production ag-
rlculture is fundamental. The food of
the world comes from the farms, and
supplying it is the first need. Next to
food the demand is for raw materials
that may go into the industries and
supply them with the fundamentals
that make it possible for them op-
crate. These raw materials are large
y products of the farm. Cotton for
the mills is the best example. So does
tiiV laiih ueCoIne tile cornerstone OF
mat structure of production upon which
depends.
This is the viewpoint of Secretary
Meredith. His chief duty, as he sees it.
Is to speed up farm production. This
can be done by getting the lessons of
his department into actual use.
Inc department of agriculture knows
the peculiar breed of potato that will
yield best returns in each and every
county in the United States. 1t knows
now to cultivate that potato; how to
iSrulize 1t in eacl peculiar soil But
THIS lesson is not known to 10 per cent
OF the people who raise potatoes. Ninety
! per cent OF them are planting the
wrong varieties and cultivating them
in the wrong way, II the knowledge
in the possession of the department
were applied to all these farms, potato
crops and profits would be doubled
| next year. The same Is true of corn.
Selected seed, properly planted, prop
erly. fortified, properly cultivated, on
| lSnd properly rotated, would double tie
| corn yield, great as it is already. There
is no branch of farming where the les
sons that may be learned are not
| equally important and capable of
equally attractive advantages.
Secretary Meredith is a trained adj
Nertlsing man, trained pub!cist, He
wants TO make the lessons learned In
! the past 80 years, under the direction
of farmers and scientists, show in the
greatest possible return when the
wagons drive up to the barn in the
| autumn. h wants cooperation on the
part OF the public and the congress in
meetlng me demands of the time for
production.
