French view. it is indicated, unless
there are unforeseen developments,
French official circles received a dis

GOVERNOR SMALL
IS IN No DANGER
SHERIFF STATES THAT HE WILL
NOT RESORT TO FORCE TO Ar
REST STATE EXECUTIVE
Decision May Prevent Trial OF Illinois
Governor on Charge OF Juggling
State Funds Until End
of His Term

! Springfield. Ill.-Goyernor Len Small
Monday apparently had won his fight
TO force postponement of his arrest
and trial on charges of juggling ten
millions dollars in state money until
after his term of office expires.
Sheriff Henry Mester Of Sungamon
county, on whose shoulders will fall
the duty of serving the warrants, stat
ed that he would not use force In eff
| forts to arrest the indicted governor.
Mester's statement brought relief to
the state capitol, where pictures of
armed clashes between state militia
called to protect the governor and
sheriff's deputies. wildly drawn in re-
ports and rumors, has kept the popu-
lace on edge.
The sheriff said he would make an
honest effort to serve the warrants, if
so instructed by the court.
Il may cause the governor some
worry" the sheriff said. ~ will try
to use diplomacy and tact, but will
not use force"
As 1t will be necessary for force to
be used to bring Small into court as
long as he continues his present at
titude, 1t was apparent the situation
would rest Mt that rather indeGuite
stage until the governor has completed
his term of office or is willing to sub
NIT to arrest.
Judge e. S. Smith is expected to
hand down his decision soon holding
Small subject to arrest and order the
sheriff to take him into custody. The
sheriff will probably notify the COVER
| nor that he holds warrant for his
arrest, and there the matter will drop,
II the governor doesn't change his
mind and decide to stand trial.
In the meantime Governor Small
was taking no chances. Guards watch
ed the executives mansion closely
and guarded the governor wherever he
went.
Reports were current that battlion
of state troops under Colonel A. r.
Lornson would be ordered to Spring
willie to protect the governor. a.
ut makes no difference what hap
pens to Len Small hut the governor
of the state cannot Yield TO politicians
or money interests, the executive said.
~ took oath of office and there Is no
power that can restrain me from full
filling 1t. The governor cannot abide
by his oath Of office and surrender
the sovereignty Of the executive power
with which he has been intrusted"

EXPERIMENTS WITH
FERTILIZERS

Clemson College, January 17.t-
II his annual report on Experiment
Station work Prof c. p. Blackwell,
chief of the agronomy division of
Clemson College, makes an inter
cStlng preliminary report on expert
mcnts with fertilizers now being con
ductch on different soil types in va
riouS parts Of the state.
We have planned this work so that
it will tell us, three specific things
with reference to each of the leading
soil types in the state. These three
things are:
1. What fertilizer formula, or
what combination of phosphoric acid,
ammonia and potash, will give best
| results on a certain soil type, and
for certain crop.
2. What is the most profitable
rate of application for different
crops.
B.. Does the soil type being tested
reed lime for the crops grown, and
what is the effect of lime on the soil,
There are many soil types in the
state, about ten being of special
agricultural Importance. 1t is very
obvious that results secured on one
soil type in one part Of the state
would not apply to different soil
type in another part of the state.
! We hope by next year to get tests
/ located on each of the principal soil
! ;ypcs Of the state.
| The tests in the boil wecvil sec
tlon of the state are of special in
tcrcst and Importance just now. Our
! nlots interesting test this year was
the one located at Allcndalc where
there was Il heavy infestation of
boil wccvil. Our best plots gave
more than bale to the acre, and
the whole test was very interesting.
Our tests are planned to use Il
complet" fertilizer rs Il check and
then eliminate one element at a time
by grading it from nothing to high
percentage while keeping the Other
! two constant. This tells US not only
whether or not that element is need.
