PORT DEVELOPMENT PLANS.
Alfred Il. Smith Urges Lower Cost
for Handling Goods.

Alfred e. Smith. former Governor
and present member Of the Port Author
ity Board, outlined the plans for port
development at a luncheon yesterday
at the Hotel McAlpin, attended by
men prominent in the silk industry.
Motion pictures of the plans were
shown. Mr.. Smith declared that unless
duplication of railroad terminals was
done away with and the cost of hand
ling goods in the port lowered New
York would lose it's prestige.

Live Stock Project.
Two cow testing associations were
started. On account of the dry spell
during the summer, several farmers
withdrew from the association, think
ing their cows would not get a fair
chance. Most of these men feel now
that they would like to join again.
According to the present outlook, the
associations will be formed early next
year.
Fifteen pure-bred Holstein bulls
have been placed through this office.
Lack of funds has retarded the active
movement of livestock here, as every
where else.
Previous to this year very little test
ing for tuberculosis had been done in
this county, but this year an extensive
campaign was conducted. A local
veterinarian of Milaca reports that of
the 545 head examined 81 were found
to be reactors. The finding of these
diseased animals has stimulated de-
mand for this work and the farm bu-
reau office is continually receiving in
quiries concerning the tubercular
tsets. The office has sent out 1000
pamphlets on tuberculosis and written
two articles for the local papers and
two for the Farm Bureau News on the
symptoms and needs of testing for this
disease. Different units have taken
up the work and are assisted by the
women's civics clubs in two towns.
During the summer an outbreak of
hemorrhagic septicaemia caused con-
siderable loss for several farmers in
the northern part Of the county. The
county agent with the assistance of
some of the veterinarians of the coun-
ty succeeded in checking this disease.
The veterinarians offered their SER

A sire survey was conducted. Ac-
cording to the reports obtained, fully
half of the farmers of this county are
using grade or scrub bulls. Complete
figures cannot be secured.
A poultry demonstration communi-
ty has been organized. The main pur-
pose is to keep records of the egg pro-
duction and to assist in marketing the
eggs. Some of the local co-operators
are shipping their eggs at price that
nets 60 cents per dozen. This poul-
try association is one of the ten in the
state and promises to be one of the
strongest.

WHAT CAUSES GAS
ON THE STOMACH?

1t is caused by fermenting, sour,
waste matter in the intestines. This
old, foul matter should be thoroughly
cleaned out with simple buckthorn
bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed in Ad-
ler-i-ka. This acts on both upper and
lower bowel, removing old accumulat-
ed matter you never thought was in
your system. Adler-i-ka relieves any

for sour stomach and chronic consti-
patton. Guards against appendicitis.

Napthalene Nest Eggs No Good.

Napthalene Nest Eggs No Good.
Nest eggs made of naphthalene,
claimed or suggested by manufac-
turers to be destroyers or repellants
Of lice, may be called bad eggs rather
than "lice exterminating eggs" 'lice-
killing nest eggs," and "medicatcd nest
eggs" for they do not seem to incon-
venience the lice or mites, but they
do have a bad effect on the fowls that
sit on them. In fact the entomologists
of the United States department of
agriculture who have examined and
tested these so-called "eggs~' say that
they are very injurious to fowls, but
not in a single case were they found
effective against the parasites. Even
the nest boxes in which they were
placed remained badly infested with
mites and they were frequently OBJ
served crawling over the napthalene
eggs.

The county fair was given aid
through this office. The publicity
work OF the different committeeman
helped very materially in making the
1921 county fair the biggest and best
ever held in the county. The farm
bureau members advocated the institu-
ton of more educational features, such
as the show ring, practical instruction
in livestock judging, ct cetera. More
interest was shown than at any other
fair. Help and suggestions were CIV
en- the fair board for Encouragement
of the buildings both for this and
next year.
Soil Project and Land Clearing.
The cooperation of 10 farmers was
secured last spring in lime project.
1t has been found that some of the
sand in the southern portion Of the
county is very acid and the object of
the experiment was to test the effect
of lime on the growth of legumes.
Forty-eight tons of lime were secured.
Check plots were established. The eff
feet Of applying the lime was not ac-
curately determined although results
were visible on one farm.
Arrangements were made for secur-
ing two carloads Of picric acid for the
farmers. It was estimated a saving of
$4,000 would be effected in this ship
ment of $4,000 pounds of the acid.
The second carload has not been de-
livered but approximately 1000 acres
were cleared with the first shipment.
BY obtaining this cheap explosive from
the government through the aid of the
Farm Bureau association, many far
mers cleared land which otherwise
they would have been forced to leave
untouched because of the cost Of the
operation. Two land clearing dem
onstrations were held in the north
ern part Of the county. Much inter-
est was shown in the use of picric
acid.
Crops.
The leaf hopper was prevalent this
past season. Lack of high pressure,
spraying equipment made it nearly
impossible to combat this pest. A
few farmers have been induced to Sc
cure high pressure equipment next
year.
Several farmers were last spring in
duced to treat their seed potatoes.
About so farmers employed this me-
thod of treatment who had not made
use of it at any previous time In
some cases the treatment seemed to
have been successful, in other cases
unfavorable reports were received.
Ten bushels Of Marquis seed and
$500 pounds Of clover seed were dis
tributed among the members of two
units at an average saving of IL cents
a pound, making total of $500.
Five farmers were induced to try
raising Soy beans and the seed was
secured. Everyone had excellent re-
suits; some raising considerable seed
which is now for sale.
Economic Projects.
One farmer was assisted in securing
a federal loan and two were given as
sistance in filing out applications. 1t
was found difficult to secure any salts
faction through the federal loan as
very few loans were placed.
Only few laborers were placed
through this office as most of the far
mers managed to get along without
any help. The fact that most of the
men available would not work at the

Improvement Organization.


One of the most important improve
ment projects backed by the county
farm bureau association was the or
ganization of community scale COM
pany in the southern end of the coun-
ty. A scale house was erected and a
modern scale, one of the finest in this
section of the state, was installed.
Princeton is ne of the largest pri-
mary potato lIarkets in the northwest
and the farr' ors who make that vii
lage their ma ket town have for years
wished to have village or community
scale established there. Several years
ago such scale was established in
Princeton, 1T the location was un-
satisfactory and in a few months it
ceased to opc~ ate. This year the sew
eral farm bureau units adjacent to
Princeton appointed a committee to
work on IT,, scale question. This
committee, with the assistance of the
county agent and the excellent Coop
GRAFTON it received from the village
council and business houses in Prince
ton, carried the scale project to a sue

COUNTY AGENT
MAKES REPORT
County Agent Hammargren Reviews
Work of Farm Bureau During
Past Eight Months.
MAKES A GOOD SHOWING
Is Townships Organized; 555 Members
now Enrolled; the Membership
Campaign Not Complete.

At the annual meeting Of the Mile
Laos County Farm Bureau association
held at Milaca last Saturday after
noon, County Agent Hammargren
gave a brief review of the activities
of the organization during the past
eight months. Mr.. Hammargren stat
ed that this report should be of in
terest to all the taxpayers in the
county since they are helping to sup
port the farm bureau association both
as residents of the county and state.
The report is as follows:
The farm bureau was rcorganized in
January, 1921, having previously to
that date been dropped on account of
not having funds to carry on work.
Four hundred members have been Sc
surcd of which about one hundred had
paid their dues of five dollars, at the
time of organization.
March 18th, 1921, the executive
board met and an agent was en-
ployed starting work on the same day.
During the past eight months fifty
five articles of farm bureau and agri-
cultural interest have been published
in one or more local papers. Excel
lent cooperation has oecn given us by
most of the papers. A Farm Bureau
News has been published every month,
which has helped to stimulate the
work of the farm bureau considerably.
The organization has grown slowly
but some progress has been made cv-
cry month To date we have five hum
dred and fifty-fve members, of which
ono hundred and fifty are paid up
until January 1, 1923. This insurcc
the work for another year and will
give ample time to demonstrate to
both the rural and town people the
worth of the association. The c@m-
paign for new members has been
called off on account of bad roads.
However, according to the precent
plans, work will be resumed as soon
as the weather moderatcs. Units
have been organized in fifteen town.
ships, three Of them having been
formed during the past month. The
best results are accomplished through
the consolidation Of unit with far
mors' club. There are three more
townships to organize before the men,
;oership campaign is completed in the
county. Real work can be accom-
plishcd only by having these units as
centers Of activities for their respcc-
tive communities.

pooling their wool. Six thousand
pounds were pooled at an average price
of four cents pound more than could
be obtained in the local market. How
ever if we could have pooled a carload
here and shipped it to Chicago, I'M
doubtedly they would have realized
considerable more.
Individual contracts with the Mime
sofa Potato exchange have been Sc
cured for a few farmers when no
marketing association could be orga-
nized.
The biggest work along marketing
lines has been done with creameries,
in assisting them to join with Mime
sofa cooperative creamery associa-
ton. This county was the first in the
state to enter this association with a
100 per cent membership. Some of
the creameries have already been ship
ping in carload lots and have thus ef-
fected considerable saving.
One temporary livestock shipping
association has been organized. Much
work has been done in promoting and
helping the central commission firm
in South St. Paul. Good results have
been obtained by shipping to this firm
and there has been but little dissatis-
faction.
Boys and Girls Clubs.
Twenty-Five boys and girls were en-
rolled in the livestock project and ev-
eryone of them finished. Due to the
late start we were unable to carry
on any more work. Three took part
in the dairy calf and twenty-one in the
single pig and SOW and litter contests.
Since this was the first year of any
real club work quite few hesitated
to enter into it.
Twelve girls took active part in
canning club work. Six of these DEM
onstrated at the county fair. Three
girls took part in the baking project
at the county fair, two Of whom won
trips to the state fair.
The. biggest feature of our county
fair was the boys and girls exhibits
and demonstrations. This project
alone has in many communities gained
such stronghold that in order to do
justice to the work next year it will
be necessary to employ club leader.

Sight Of Murder Trunk Completely
 Upsets Mrs. Mott

Completely unnerved by the sight of the famous murder trunk" which at one time contained the mutAated body of her husband, Ethel M. Mott yesterday afternoon broke down for the first time since her trial began and wept bitterly for several minutes. E.norts of her companion, Miss Julia Moran, and her attorney, Public De- fender DeForest, were Of no avail, and they were unable to console the woman, whose loud, convulSive sObs could be heard in every corner of the room.
 The trunk was introduced as evil dence during the testimony Of pr. Samuel M. Garick, medical examiner, who performed an autopsy on Notts body after it was recovered from the startled the court with the announce ment that the man could have been easily killed by a fraiI woman armed with a. broomStick, pohceman's club or rolling pin. The butcher knife claimed to have been used by Wade in the murder, and the bullets ex- tracted from Nott's body, were also exhibited.
 The taking of the actual testimony in the case was started within a half hour after, court opened, following the bury, was accepted as the twelfth juror and completed the full panel
 States Attorney Cummings deviat- ed somewhat from his expected pro- cedure, and made but a very brief outline Of the states case He an nounced the intention to prosecute Ethel Mott as an accessory to the crime, and called the attention of the jury to several features of the case.

the defense against the charge that
 while the defendant did not commit
 the fact she was an accessory" he
 stated, ''but do wish to call attention
 to the fact that no evidence was in troduced during the Wade trial to show that the killing of Mott was not
 solely and simply the act of Wade. we will offer evidence to show that this woman had nothing to do ! with it. It was an act done entirely by Wade, and of his own violition." The state then called c. Wellington 1 Walker, a Stratford architect, to the witness stand. Walker had prepared | a map or plans of the entire section i of the Judson avenue house occupied | by the Notts at the time of the mur- der His map, drawn at the tnstiga- ton of the state. was offered as Exhibit A.
 In response to questionings by
 counsel for both sides he explained the layouts of the various rooms, and closely described the various en- frances and exits, and the stairways leading from one floor to the other. bit, who for years has been the of flcia1 photographer foS the police de- partment and coroner'S office. Sew eral photographs were offered which
 he identified as having been taken by
 himself at the request of the State. They. were taken, he explained, on
 the Tuesday and Wednesday following g the crime last August. They were
 exterior and interior views of the
 Not home, as well as several views of the Easton swamp where the
 trunk containing the body of the mur-
 dered Mott was found. One was a
 photograph of the murder room" in
 the Mott home, clearly showing the
 bed and other articles of furniture, as well as certain marks upon the wall
 near the head of the bed.
 Corbit's testimony was closely fol- lowed by the defense who objected strongly to certain questions asked by the state relative to the physical appearance of the rooms and stair ways.
 Easing their opposition on the claim that there was no proof that the condition of the various rooms and railways were the same at the time the act was committed as when

let them fall heavily back into the re! ceptacle with distinct thud, each one of which sent Ethel Mott into renewed paroXysm of tears.
 Dr. Garlick then minutely explain ed and described every wound that he found upon the body of the murdered man. He told of finding no marks or wounds on the lower eXtremities but of discovering more than 20 or the upper torso.
 The nature of every wound was either that of an ipcisiOn, penetra- tion or perforation. The incisior wounds. he testified. were made by sharp or cutting instrument and when shown the knife claimed to have beer used by Wade in murdering Mott he emphatically declared that such knife could have been used.
 He was then question3 as to the gun shot wounds found in the body He explained that there were foul such wounds inflicted by three dis charges from a gun. He identified two bullets in a glass vial as the one: he had removed from the body O! that the third bullet had entered anG passed through the body, and had no been found.
 What. in your opinion. was thu cause of Nott's death?" queried thu state attorney.
 The immediate cause was thu crushing of the skull by force applied to an instrument" the physician re' pled-

 Attorney Shannon thereupon tool up the examination for the defense and asked the medical examiner tC describe the appearance of the bOdI when it was removed from the trunk
