Letta Parsons, the baby bride of the
Ozarks," tonight was held respons-
IDLE for the death of her 6-year-old
stepdaughter, Lily, by jury in juve-
nile court here.
The jury was impanelled by Judge
Peter Huck to determine only wheth-
er the child-wife, who is only IS years
old, was responsible, delinquent or
temporarily insane at the time Of the
fatal shooting. The verdict held that
she was not delinquent and did not
touch upon the question of insanity.
This was said to be the first time a
married person was ever tried in
juvenile court in Missouri.
The girl, a homeless waif most of
her life, had testified the shooting OF
Lily Parsons was accidental when
she was trying to unbreech shotgun
preparatory to going to meet her
husband.
The girl was turned over to q pro-
baton officer tonight by the Judge.
Her sentence will be announced in a
few days, it was intimated after the
trial. Maximum punishment. which
can be ordered by the juvenile court,
is a term in reform school.

Of potatoes from countries where the
disease was known to occur. The dis
ease usually completely destroys the
crop when potatoes susceptible to 1t
are planted in badly infested soil.
Soil sterilization tests by means OF
steam and chemicals were carried out
In infested gardens in Pennsylvania
and West Virginia In 1919 and 1920.
The methods tested were: Live steam
under an inverted iron pan solution
Of formaldehyde applied to the soil,
both alone and In combination with
steam and the use Of chemical solu-
tions, including bordeaux mixture, mer-
curic chloride, and sulphuric acid. The
worth Of each method was tested by
planting susceptible variety Of pota-
toes on the ,treased plots. None of the
chemical treatments resulted In COM
plete eradication of the disease, and
steam sterilization, while 1t appeared
to be successful in the small trial plots,
involved such great expense and diff
Guilty as to leave the practicability Of
eradication still In doubt.
Additional experiments will have to
be carried on before specific recommen-
dations can be made. Specialists hope,
however, that some method of treating
the soil by heat or, chemicals can be
devised which will make it possible
completely to eradicate potato wart
from this country.
The work will be actively carried
forward until 1t is determined whether
a satisfactory method can be found.
