PERFECT MACHINE
TO PICK COTTON

After ten years of experimental
work the Price-Campbell cotton pick
ing machine has been perfected and is
to be manufactured at Wichita Falls,
Tex, on an extensive scale. Theodore
II. Price of New York and several
Leading business men of Texas, in
Guiding J. A. Kemp, banker and manu-
facturer of Wichita Falls, comprise
the company. ...
1t is claimed that actual tests show
that the gasoline tractor-driven ma
chine will pick 1000 pounds of cotton
a day. The cost of operation, includ-
ing a man and boy, and the necessary
gasoline and lubricating oil, is esti-
mated at $40 day. The average cost
of picking cotton by the machine is
IA cents per 100 pounds as compared
with 81 to $3.50 for hand-picking, it
is claimed.

The Secretary pointed out that diff
ficulties of the producers of our food
stuffs are a matter of national con-
cern, and declared that continued pro-
'duction, which is absolutely necessary
for our national life, depends upon
fair price for his products. He re-
viewed the progress of legislation by
the present Congress for aiding the
farmer, all of which, he declared, is of
"a constructive character and will be
more helpful than is now realized. He
expressed the belief that much is to
be hoped for from the agricultural in
quiry that has been under way since
by joint committee of
the Senate and House. The results, he
said, should be very helpful in ena-
bling us to. plan wisely in the future.
1t is planned during the coming
year, the Secretary said, to strengthen
certain phases of the work of the de-
partment, more especially the scien-
tific research, the application of the
results of research to farm practice,
more extended studies of marketing
farm crops with a view to reducing
cost, Investigations of both production
and consumption at home and abroad
for the purpose of better adjusting
our own production to market needs,
and studies looking toward making
available to the farmer those devices
of modern business which privide

needed credit on easy terms. and
which may help us to distribute pro-
duction risks more eauitably.

A few hours after he had been ad- judged insane, caused by worry be- cause of delay it is believed in re- ceiving his allotment from the govern ment, and committed to the state hospital at Middleton, a local serv- ice man received a check from the government for $500 Wednesday, Those who know the man feel sure that his present mental condition was caused by worry over his failure to receive the check.
 Poor health, lack of work, mount ing expenses and no wheer withal to meet the bills added to his apparent ly fruitless efforts to obtain govern l ment money, made him Respondent. It is not known whether the relief to his mind by the receipt of the check will have tendency to restore him to normal condition e. not.

JURY HEARS BUT ONE SIDE.
Convicts of Murder Louisville Man
 Who Refuses to Offer Defense.

Louisville, July "A verdict call ing for the death penalty has been returned by a jury in the case of Wal ter F. Stamp, charged with the mur- der of J. Smith Russell
 A precedent in court records of the state was said to have been es- tabllshed when counsel for Stamp re- fused to take part in the trial. The jury heard only state evidence, the defense refusing to produce witness es. This attitude followed failure by counsel for Stamp to obtain a change of venue and continuance. He con- tended that Stamp could not obtain a fair trial here.
 During the testimony defense counsel and Stamp read newspapers, apparently showing little interest in the proceedings.
 A new trial, it is announced, will be sought, denial of which will re- suit in an appeal to- the state court of appeals.
 Stamp, it was charged, shot and killed Russell on the night of June while the latter was driving his automobile. Mrs. Russell was wound ed, and a baby daughter was shot at three times but was not hit. Stamp who denied the shooting, had previ- ously accused Russell of causing a separation from his wife
