duction and still not reduce the total
number of bushels of wheat produced
per farm as compared with growing

Manure was applied at the rate of
two tons per acre each year in every
system alike. Mr.. Army says that the
data secured in the experiments en-
phosize the value of growing clover
in a rotation even though little use
can be utilized for pasture, it is sell
dom advisable to pillow under the en-
tire crop.

LIFE TERM FOR BRADLEY
Warrensburg Jury Returned Verdict
in One Hour.

Warrensburg, Mo-, July 3.-Aiter
delibcrating an hour today a jury
found James Bradley guilty of first
degree murder and sentenced him to
lite imprisonment in the Missouri
penitentiary. Bradley was convicted
OF participation in the killing OF
Joseph Talbot, sheriff; John McDon-
aid and James Stapleton under sher-
nfs of Lafayette County, near Lex
lngton, May 4, 1919.
The verdict came as surprise to
many people here, who openly pre-
dicted hung jury, because of a court
ruling that it there was any reason
able doubt in the minds of the jury
the defendant should be exonerated.
The prisoner was not in court to hear
his fate, because of his removal to the
Jackson County Jail at Kansas City
yesterday. BY agreement of counsel
II was entered into court records that
the defendant was present at the time
of the verdict announcement.
Several jurors, in explaining the
speedy verdict, said the Identification
Of Bradley by G. E. Maddox, chief Of
police of Marshall, and the attempt
of the prisoner to escape from jail
i'll Parsons, kas., several days after
the Identification, were the chief rea-
sons the jury voted for conviction
on the first ballot. The jurymen said
they dsregarded the alibi evidence
produced by the defense, which in
cluded testimony and dispositions as
serting the defendant was in Okla
homa at the time OF the crime.
