Claiming to have been defending
herself and two children against
threatened attacks. Mrs. Elsie Ger
trude Klassen. rs years old, shot
John E. Ketron, 81 years old, at
her home, 2104 H street northwest,
shortly after o'clock last night,
resulting in the death of the wound
ed man at the Emergency Hospital
an hour and a half later.
Mrs. Klassen was arrested after
the shooting. She is now being held
under a technical charge Of murder.
Ketron had been a roomer in the
klassen home since last December.
He was employed as a clerk in the
Interior Department
Rpomers Hear Row.
Two other roomers, Mrs. Robert
Brown and Ralph Horn, told the DO
lice they heard some disturbance
IN the house. but were not witnesses
to the shooting.
Mrs. Klassen's two children, Har-
old c.. years old, and Ethel w. S

mothers skirts as she fired the shot

gered down the steps. He col
lapsed into the arms of Allen H.
Van DevAnter, of 2II0 H street
northwest. as he reached the side
walk
StaEgers Downstairs.
II was at this time that the
police of the Third precinc arrived
in response to a call 4 short time
previous from Mrs. Klassen. She
had asked that the police protect
her from the threatened attacks
and abuses of Ket.on.
Early this morning, the police
notified the husband William B.
Klassen, who is employed in Balti-
more. OF the shooting and charge
placed against his wife.
Returning to her home with her
children shortly after z o'clock last
night, Mrs Klassen says she found
the front door locked. She was
forced to enter through the base
ment.
Upon reaching the first floor, she
says, she found all of the furnish

Calls for Police.
Retron then became abusive and
threatened to attack both herself
and the children, says Mrs. Klas-
sen, forcing her to take the two
children and leave the house in
fear after making a futile effort
to Eotify police headquarters.
Rushing to a grocery store at

carrying out this threat of locking
the doors that she fired the fatal

acted in a similar manner and on
that occasion choked her.

such route would be to save the
farmers these trips to town do
not believe it pays one or two COW
farmers or even one with five cows
to put their cream together to ship
in one can. Each farmer should
have his own can, and enough cows
to make twice or three times a week.
l would certainly advise against or
ganizing a creamery there with the
small volume OF product that you
can count on at the present time
However, as suggested above, with a
creamery in nearby town, you can
very easily foster this industry. A
creamery does not bring money to n
town. There are only three or four
workers usually in town, and the
money paid for butterfat goes to the
farmers, so the business men OF Lam
caster would benefit almost as much
from creamery in Chester as the
Il were located in Lancaster. since
the money the farmers receive from
their cream would he deposited in
Lancaster and most of it spent
there"

that IL the world consumes one hun
dred and fifty million pounds OF
prunes a year and we have crop
of one hundred and eighty million
pounds a year, we keep thirty mil
lion pounds of prunes to carry over.
We don't let one mans prunes break
the market against other prunes.
We have learned how to do some
thing with supply. We never have
to say to our growers, reduce your
acreage" because they all pull to-
gether. We give to them the full
proceeds OF what is sold; We give to
them only the loan value OF what is
carried over. Every grower feels
the same penalty for overproduction.
Automatically they reduce their
crops because they know if they
produce more they will get loan value
instead OF sales value.
We have learned all that. We
have threshed out all these problems
OF financing and warehousing. You
know as well Us | know that we
could not run our business for twen-
tylive years as we have III California

experience OF Californians in the

We first looked up all about to-
bacco-don't. listen to those fellows
who come to you and tell you that

that don't know anything about to-

tobacco. The fellow who tells you
that is full OF tobacco all right, and
he has got a profit in keeping you in

Prospects For Dairying In Lancaster
Comfy

Lancaster County farmers are try
ing to work out plans for changing
their system of farming to meet the
onslaughter OF the boil weevil. Nat
at dairying as a means OF bringing
them in a supply OF ready cash
throughout the year. Several weeks
ago, county Agent Howell had with
him, Dairy Specialist from the Ex-
tension Service. and some time was
spent I'm studying the needs. OF the
County in the dairy line. Later,
Prof. j. p. Master, of Clemson col
lege, was called upon for advice and
assistance in helping find the needs
OF the county. Many farmers will
remember Prof. LaMaster, as he was
member of the party who came
here last year and met with farmers
from all over the county to help map
out safe farming program for the
county. The report will therefore
be interesting to many. 1t follows:
"In order to successfully operate
creamery in this territory it would
require the cream produced by 600
to 500 cows, and the cost OF con-
structing and keep a creamery to
handle this quantity of product will
vary from 100000 to $4,000 de-
pending upon whether IT would be
necessary to construct building or
only to remodel one for the pur-
pose.
It is most certain that a creamery
will be organized in Chester some.

so that those in Lancaster county
interested in cooperative marketing
will get clearer and more definite
idea of the principles involved.
While the address was made to to-
bacco growers, still the principles
are the same, and only different de-
tails of working toward the same end
will apply to the cotton growers.
The cotton farmers Of this state
have one year ahead of them now

Factors That Make For Success Ia
.ilfalfa Growing

-t1alia Growing
Alfalfa with us is special crop
and must be treated as such il one
expects TO succeed with il. The fol
lowing pointers will be found help
ful to those preparing to plant this
crop:
1. Select well drained clay loan
soil with n porous clay subsoil AL
falfa will not stand wet feet" II
water stands within three feet OF the
top, the soil, is not suitable for grow
ing this crop.
=. Have a good crop of organic
matter to turn under. This may be
furnished by cowpeas and also sup
plemented by stable manure. Re-
member that you are putting the
plant food in the soil now that is to
last the crop for eight to ten years
and that for the crop to do its best
1t must have plenty OF food. Stable
manure is n common source OF or
ganic matter, but If a good crop of
cowpeas have been grown, less stable
manure can be used. 1t Is seldom
advisable. however to apply less than
six to ten two horse loads per acre.
II this manure has been applied to
the crop of cowpeas beforehand, bet
ter results can be expected. and
great many weed seeds can be done
away with.
g. For success you must apply
lime. Use not less than four tons of
ground limetone per acre. Apply to
the top soil after you have allowed
the ground to settle from your deep
plowing, and harrow in.
4. Alfalfa is deep rooted plant,
and in the previous preparation deep
plowing should be practiced. A
subsoil should be used behind the
turn plow to break the clay bottom.
After breaking it is very important
to get all clods broken up. and a
loose pulverized seed bed prepared.
This should be disced and narrowed
after eac hrain that falls from the
time of preparation to planting.
5. 1t is best to apply about 400
to 600 pounds OF acid phosphate per
acre to the soil, during preparation
and just before planting or at plant
ing time, 200 to 400 pounds OF a
balanced fertilizer analyzing around
8-4-4 or one high in ready available
ammonia an din potash.
g.. Before alfalfa can succeed
the nitrogen gathering bacteria
which form the nodules on the roots
Of the plants must be present. II
these are not already contained In
the soil. they must be supplied by
incubation. Sweet clover and burr
clover take the same incubation al
alfalfa. Artificial cultures may b
used for inoculating. but soil from
field where alfalfa has grown sue
cessfully is probably better. Spreat
out seeds on some fiat surface, ant
moisten with a mixture of water ant
molasses sufficient to get each see,
sticky. After having taken the sol
from a field known to he inoculated
sift IL and stir the sifted dirt II
with the seed. until each seed is Gov
, cred. The seed may now be pu
away in the shade for a few days
and allowed to dry.

Principles of California COoperatives
l am going to give you a few
words the principles of the California
Cooperative. Now you know some
body is going to say to you: THAT
fellow gave you whole lot of bull
about raisins and not a word OF it
applies to tobacco" Now I know
the difference between raisins and
says that. know all these things
are different, but we happen to be
in touch with &c different commodity
associations, and we learned that the
principles that apply to one apply to
the others.
Hhere are the principles. and IL
you apply them to the tobacco asso-
citation your chances Of success are
fine. 1t is not assured, but your
chance for success is excellent IL you
will cooperate and embody the prin-
ciples that I will state to you, the
principles that were found to be sue
oessful in cooperative marketing in
the West.
Organize BY Commodity on Business
Basis
The first is that you organize on
a commodity instead Of local basis.
You must organize by the commodity
and not by the locality. That is
why we are organizing tobacco in
the three big states. They are Or
ganizing in Kentucky, the Burley
fellows, separately; they are organ
izing the dark tobacco growers and
we have ou rbright tobacco; and
there will be three great organiza-
~tions. So you can organize by to-
bacco.
Second, you must organize on a
real business basis. You don't want
any politicians to get In it. Nobody
gets In 1t unless he is a grower. or
landlord or lessor who gets all or
a part of the rental in tobacco.
You are going to incorporate it.,
but 1t will be without capital stock.
1t will be no fiy-by-night stun, no
one-year contracts; but five years or
nothing. You have tried the other
system for three or four generations,
and you see where it left you, you
see how dependent you are today.
You see how many of you can raise
your crops without crop mortgages.
II you don't know by this time that
that system is failure, no number
OF people on earth can tell you.
You men call yourselves independ-
ent men because Virginia is the home
Of freedom and independence; but
would like to know how many men
in this county here think they can
sign this or any other contract fol
the sale OF their own property with
sout first thinking, II wonder II any
Banker or the merchant I owe II
going to let me do it," I wonde,
how many Of you are really free
men. There are lots OF men wht
ought to be able to sign this con
tract without asking anybody's per
mission; but the majority Of you can
not AFFORD to do 1t. In Texas W
estimated four out Of i've men hat
