Grades Fixed on Some Products.
The Bureau of Markets has officially
recommended grades for potatoes,
sweet potatoes, strawberries, northern
grown onions, Bermuda onions, and
formulated tentative grades for
barreled apples, cabbage, peaches, to-
matoes. cucumbers, lettuce, celery, and
asparagus. These grades are the re-
suit Of Investigations conducted in
the leading fruit and vegetable sec
lions, as well as in primary markets.
The adoption of such definite grades
by fruit and vegetable shippers,
whether individuals or associations,
would assist very materially in in
creasing returns and no doubt tend
toward better understanding between
shippers and receivers.

PLAN SEEDED FOR ALFALFA
Plenty Of Good 6arnyard Manure
Should Be Applied If Soil Lacks
Humus and Fertility.

If you are planning a five or ten
acre field of alfalfa, and you ought to
plan it if you do not already have al
faIfa, see that the ground is made
ready in good shape. Alfalfa needs a
hospitabIe soil, but it isn't so hard to
make a soil pretty fairly hospitable.
Applv lime if the soil is acid, and
plenty of good barnyard manure If 1t
lacks fertility and humus. Then re-
member this: You cannot get the
seedbed too fine for alfalfa; this crop
needs firm, fine seeded and to get
the very best results, you should see
that it gets what it needs.

leaf. Pinch out the side shoots, but
be careful not to injure the blossom
or fruit clusters.
Tomato stakes should be from 4
to 6 feet long and ] to III inches
through at the thickest part. They
may be small saplings cut in the woods
and sharpened at one end, or they may
be split from log that is free from
knots. Sometimes strips of waste ma
terial from sawmill or planning mill,
known as edgings, are used. 1t makes
little difference so long as the stakes
are strong enough to support the
plants and are inexpensive. The stakes
should be driven firmly into the
ground, one on the north side of each
tomato plant, and the plants tied to
them once a week during the active
growing period with soft cord or mar
row strips of muslin. Sometimes the
tomato plants will reach the tops OF
the stakes and then hang over until
the tip will touch the ground, clusters
of fruits being formed all along the
stems.
Twenty-Five to so tomato plants
trained to stakes will supply the aver
age family with all the tomatoes
needed for use while fresh, also for
canning. 1t pays to go TO some little
trouble to have them early, also to
stake and prune them so that the
quality will be the best.

is about to arrive in Rome to be re-

1t now seems definitely settled that
the next conSiStory will occur the be

new American cardinal will be Gre

are those of Archbishop Dougherty of

The Near East Relief appeal is a
tremendous one. 1t is almost world
wide, but of all the appeals there is
none more powerful than that for
Armenia and the near east. Entire
groups there are isolated: oppressed

participation in the war regardless
of their future. going to the side
which they thought right: giving
blood and treasure. Now absolutely
helpless and dying for want of food.
they appeal to us who do not Know
want We waste enough to feed half
of Europe.
People are going to have many
appeals. but of all the appeals that
come to us there is none which ought
to receive more prompt or more gen
eruus response than the appeal from
Armenia and the near east.
That is our opportunity. We can
do it. The question is Will we do
it? My prophecy is that you are
going to do yohr part in the same
fine and generous spirit with which
you have responded to all appeals.

the year of 29c. With this increase
added to the alseady large attend
ance, the capacity of both institu-
tions is taxed to the limit.
One thing which has initiated
against the operation of the board of
parole is the dearth in the labor
mrket. Several thousand men are
idle in Iowa. The board of parole
cannot release a psisoner until a
place for him to work has been
found. This is difficult matter
with SO many men seeking available
jobs. This condition has served to
keep within crowded prison walls
many men who are eligible to re-
lease.

positions for men deserving of lem
iency. The same is true of the in

to turn anyone loose who is not pro-

PLEA Of GUILTY
IN MURDER CASE
SENSATIONAL ACTION ENDS
WHEN ROSEBUD MAN AD-
MITS MANSLAUGHTER
CHARGE.

Gregory, Nov. 19.-The entering
of plea of guilty to the charge of
manslaughter by Vernon McNichols
in the state circuit court here ends
one of the most sensational murder
cases in the history of the Rosebud
country. McNichols was placed on
trial for the murder of Raymond
Brooks, a prominent Rosebud ranch
er.
The state had introduced its evil
dence him and he was expected to
go upon the witness stand in his
own defense, when he suddenly de-
cided to change his plea of not gull
ty to guilty of manslaughter.
In his plea of guilty McNichols ad-
mitted that he had insulted Mrs,
Brooks, wife of the slain man. The
only difference in his story and that
given by witnesses for the prosecu-
tion was that Brooks attempted to
shoot him, and that he took the gun
away from Brooks and shot and kill
ed him.
Brooks was killed by McNichols in
his own dooryard just after return
ing from Colome. where he had been
with a load of hogs. During his alb
sence Mrs. Brooks was at home alone
and it was at this time that McNich-
OILS appeared at the Brooks home
and made improper proposals to Mrs
Brooks. She escaped from the house
and concealed herself near a highway
pending the return of her husband.
Brooks returned at about IL
O'Clock in the forenoon. His wife re
lated her experiences to him and hi
at once started for the house, whert
McNichols yet was. AS Brooks came
upon the steps McNichols opened the
door and fired both barrels of a shot
gun at Brooks. Both charges tool
effect and Brooks staggered back Q
few feet and fell dead. McNichols al
so wounded Charles Hughes, father
Of Mrs. Brooks, who returned from
Coiome with Brooks. The murderer
attempted to escape, but was soor
afterward captured across the stat,
line in Nebraska.
