A Freak Pig

Blockton, Iowa-It seems that the
farm of Glade Keith of this place is
booked by destiny to be visited by
freaks of nature. In one month
a pig that had one head and two
bodies, pig with one nostril, and a
mule with a parrot mouth were born
there. The pig with two bodies hv-
ed only a few hours, but the other
pig and the mule are still alive and
thriving.

Kelly Witnesses Leave;
Admit False Testimony

WINCHESTER, Ind, April 6-De-
velopments that are likely to change
the entire outcome of the trial of Ed
die Kelly, charged with robbing the
Ridgeville bank, became known with
the opening of the Randolph county
court Wednesday morning.
Three witnesses for the defense,
Michael Tracey. Peter Dumont and
Anthony Farrell, departed overnight
for parts unknown, according to the
statement of the counsel for the de-
tense. Their departure, he said fol-
lowed an admission that they had tes-
titled falsely in attempting to estab-
fish an alibi for Kelly.
The particular statement which they
had made falsely, they said was that
in which they asserted they had never
been convicted of a crime or served
sentence in an Illinois penal institu-
ton. All of them admitted, he said,
in their talk with the attorney Tues
day evening, that they had been con-
victed and sentenced for the crime of
grand larceny in Illinois

Mr.. Motley suggests that the farm
ers who come in on the deal should
organize and then select a general
committee of five, or three separate
committees of three each, to handle
the purchase and transfer of the vari-
Gus plants, either as a whole or In
separate units. This would facilitate
action, place the responsibility and
bring matters to a quick and definite
conclusion.
One thing is certain. IF these dis
tricts are to own cooperative elevat-
ors in time to get into action on this

We understand that there is some
difference in the valuations placed on
these properties by Mr.. Price and by
Mr.. Motley, the latter's figures being
the lowest. Mr.. Price has accepted
the Motley figures as satisfactory, we
are told. The meeting at Boston on

SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION
AT Abingdon OPPOSED
by ESQ PETITIONERS

A petition signed by $50 voters of
Arlington township opposing the is
suance of 100000 worth of bonds for
the building of consolidated school
near Arlington was presented at the
hearing before r. A. Tillman, of the
state board of tax commissioners. The
hearing was held in the town hall at
Abingdon beginning at 10 a. N. We'd
nesday and continued late in the after
noon.
A. N. Threewitz, leader in the move
ment opposing the consolidation of
the Abingdon schools, stated in pre-
senting the petition that $50 sigma
lures had been secured out of pos
sible 325 and that more could have
been secured if they had been deemed
necessary.
The evidence presented by those
opposed to the consolidation stated
that they were opposed to the move
lily heavy increase in the tax levy that
would accompany it.
Opposition Strong
Opposition was strong to building
the school on the site selected by the
township advisory board at any time.
1t was pointed out that this was two
and on-half miles west of Arlington
and on mud road which would make
it virtually inaccessible in the bad
weather.
The petitioners stated that they
were in favor of consolidation later
on and at a different site.
Mark Meek. prominent farmer, said
that he would be willing to give $500
later on for the benefit Of a new
school, but that he was opposed to
the move at this time.
Point to Valuation
, The fact that the valuation of the
township would only allow a $4,000
bond issue was brought out. This
would necessitate a 24-cent levy, &C
cording to county officials, who fig
ured the tax levy for the possible
bond issue.
The evidence of the township trus-
tee and advisory board had not been
submitted at 2 o'clock Wednesday aft
ernoon. All of this will be taken by
! Mr.. Tillman and presented to the state
board of tax commissioners in Indi-
annapolis. The ruling on the bond is
sue will be made by them.

The Farm and The Farmer
BY William r. Sanborn

pounds, valued at s213,6S6 The absence
of soy-bean crushing industry in this
country is aScribed TO the rapid in
crease in acreage, which uses practical
ly all the beans for seeding the large
per cent of acreage utilized for pas
ture, silage. and forage.
Control of Weeds.
If the experts OF the department Of
agriculture are correct, the farmer
spends about 80 per cent Of the time
used in crop cultivation to fighting
weeds" To help him control or
eradicate these pests a number OF
farmers bulletins have been prepared,
as follows: Number e1O, wild onion:
geo. Weeds in General; 945. Bermuda
Grass: 1161, Dodder; 1855, Poison Ivy
and Poison Sumac; 1902, Canada
Thistle.
In addition to these the following
leaflets on special weeds may be OBJ
tanned by writing direct to Bureau OF
Plant Industry, Department of Agricul-
ture, Washington, D. c.: Chemical
Weed Killers; Eradication of Nut
Grass; Wild Carrot; Crab-Grass: Kill
ing Dandelions in Lawns; Sheep Sor-
rel; Chickweed in Lawns; Eradication
Of Quack Grass; Wild Morning Glory,
or Blind-Weed; Honeysuckle as a
Weed; Perennial Sow Thistle.
The leaflet on Chemical Weed
Killers" should be of interest to many
farmers, as numerous weeds may be
subdued by chemicals. No charge is
made for the bulletins listed
The preferred stockholders in the
elevator properties at Boston, Kitchell
and Wits Station, are to meet at Bos-
ton Monday evening, April II, for the
purpose of organizing a cooperative
association. When formed this body
will make up the center around which
all the farmers in these districts can
,, unite for the purchase and operation OF
these elevators, either as separate CO
| operative units under individual man
agement, or as a single association
In the latter instance one general man
ager would oversee and be responsible
| for all operations, and be assisted by
| a resident elevator man at each point
There is a feeling, however, among
the farmers in each district, that ii
| will be best to make each plant indi
vidually cooperative, so that each
unit can be run by and in the sole in
terest of each group of co-operators
without liability of any nature witt
to points This is also in line with
the recommendation of Z. G. McCul

service. Mr.. McCullum addressed the

were all valuable and well located
properties, and are worth every dol
