Po1hoE FEARED MORE.

Men wanted" for murder have
surrendered voluntarily before nov.
and not infrequently, but the case Of
young Hoey, accused Of shooting the
policeman Neville, is unusual In many
ways. In the first place, men Of his
stamp rarely have my other idea
than that Of running away and es-
5caping capture IL they can and as
long as they can. And Hoey already
had proved it not very hard o r him
to avoid recognition. even here where
his face was a familiar one to the rep
sentatives Of the law, and apparently
he could have gone far Il he had
chosen to do so.
Instead. he went to a Sing Sing
chaplain whose acquaintance he hao
made when in prison for other crimes,
told the story, or a story, ofNhis COM
nection with Neville's DEATH and then
came back to face a trial the conse-
fquence of which, on account of his
bad record, he-had the best Of rea-
sons to fear. What he feared most,
however. was arrest in conditions that
for several1hours would have exposed
him. unprotected, to the<anger of the
police and the treatment he though,
them likely t o give him before he
was turned over to higher officials.
Whether his approximations OF VIC;
lence were justified or not, Hoey was
shrewd enough to take effective
measures to reduce this danger to
nothing n nearOif. In the eyes Of
Neville's ~associates on the police force,
|Hoey is certainly guilty, but to con-
vict him In court may not be easy, In

That the local township or commun-

the finding and recommendation OF
special committee at the recent annual

bers of the agricultural extension d.
vision and the Farm Bureau, including
county agents. After making study
of the unit plan the committee also
made the following recommendations:
Two votes should be granted to each
membership in local. units, to women
as we'll as to men.
The local unit should be understood
as a subdivision of the county farm
bureau and should be responsible to it.
Local units should assist in member
ship maintenance.
Farm bureau units and farmers
clubs should be accepted as local units
of county farm bureaus.

this service before the. outbreak Of
the great war, which for me began In
1911, l was not to be diverted from
it by the panic confusion of those who
were overtaken by the calamity rath-

With solemnity which is gro
tesque, he recounts in "Sannays Is

A RAILROAD PLOT.

Railroad financiers are working
themselves into clever strategic po-
sition to get the farmers support for
present railroad methods and a sup
port for the further drive on the wages
of railroad labor.
Instead Of obeying the Interstate
Commerce Commissions orders to re-
duce rates on grain, hay and alfalfa
by 1914 per cent, they have countered
with voluntary" reduction Of 10 per
cent on all the chief agricultural prod
ucts, to be in effect for six months
only. But they promise to continue this
cut and to cut further if they are al
lowed to make a $3O0,00O.OO cut in
wages. And thfg more conceals the
fact that a cut of $4Oo,000.0O in wages
was not reflected In railroad rate re-
auctions as the railroad labor unions
have demanded. They are also in po-
sition of appearing to have given some
thing to the, dear farmer when they
would have had no credit for obeying

WALLACE ADMITS ERRORS.

In his address at a meeting of the
U. S. Livestock Sanitary association,
Secretary of Agriculture, Wallace, de-
clared that the present depression is
the most severe in the history of
American farmers and that it will
take fully five years for agriculture to
recover from it.
"The method Of distribution of farm
products" says the secretary, must
be placed on sound economic basis,
eliminating the middleman where nee
essary if his services are no economic
value"
The above is remarkable state
ment in that it admits that the stand
against marketing reform and the en-
phasis on more produ ction hereto urg-
ed by all the leading political and bust
ness interests Of the country were
wrong and that the leading radical"
leaders of the farmers had their feet
firmly on the ground.
Farmers would do we'll to beware Of
the new converts to "radicalism" be-
cause they are now directing farmers,
so far as they can, into multitude Of
little competitions with small business
on which there is little or no profit.
The great marketing evils are being
studiously ignored, and this Is as
wrong at the present time as the claim
that the farmers had no marketing
problems was three years ago.

MARKED YIELD INCREASE
CREDITED ROSEN RYE
Crop Tests Prove the New Variety
Superior to the Common
Black Rye.

University Farm. st. Paul.)
Through tho efforts of E. G. Roth,
county agent, the rye acreage of Grow
Wing county has been transformed
from common Black rye, yielding
from Is to 10 bushels an acre, to
Rosen rye, yielding from % to rs
bushels an acre. This, according to
Agricultural Extension division spe-
cialists at University Farm, repre-
sents a remarkable achievement by
the AGRICULTURAL extension service OF
that county.
sThree years ago Mr.. Roth secured
for nine cooperating farmers one and
one-half bushels each of Rosen rye
seed as a test. The results that first
year were remarkable, ranging In re-
turns from IS to S. bushels OF rye
from one and one-half bushels Of seed
sown. The nine farmers were so well
pleased that not single bushel OF the
precious seed was sold, but all was
planted. Other farmers, however,
were interested and bought seed from
outside the county, mainly from Jack
son county, Michigan, with the result
that the county agents office assisted
in securing about $50 bushels more
of Rosen rye seed. In addition, some
secured seed outside the county
agents office.
Most Of Crop Used for Seed.
From the total crops thus planted,
about 5000 bushels were harvested In
the fall Of 1920. It gave Grow Wing
county about 5000 bushels Of seed for
sale. Most of this was sold in the
county and planted for the 1921 crop.
For the 1922 crop the acreage has
been expanded until practically three
fifths Of the rye acreage of the county,
5000 out of 5000 acres, is sown to
Rosen rye.
That Rosen rye is far superior to
common Black rye is amply proved by
the average yield secured in the coun-
>ty. In 1919 the average yield of COM
mon rye per acre was II bushels, that
Of Rosen rye rs bushels. In 1920 the
average yield of common rye was IL
bushels, Rosen rye rs bushels. In
1921 the average yield of Black rye
was Is bushels, that Of Rosen rye ~
bushels. The winter of 1920-21 was
severe on all winter crops and Rosen
rye suffered with the rest, but even
at that maintained so per cent in
crease over the average of common
rye, when the crop was finally har-
vested.
