lice that Arnold and the girl left

detectives, In response to An ap-
peal from the Moline chief Of police,
scrutinized every person who left

of the girl declares, is only an as.
sumed one. She says that the mar
is already married, and alleges that
he is a dope fiend and desertel
from the army.
The girl, who Is 20 years old, has
been receiving. some attention from
Arnold, but did not care for him
according to the mother.
Moline police officials were no
disposed to talk of the case, bu
the records show that the local 20
lice conferred with Chicago au
thorities both by telegraph ant
long distance telephone.
The police are desirous- of pro
tecting the name of the girl ant
also seem to be under the, impress
sion that Arnold does not know h,

CROP ROTATION
BIG FACTOR IN
REDUCING COST
Farmer Should Take Special Heed
of This Important Factor,
Says University Bulletin.

! U-bana,s Ill.-A good rotation of
crops is an important factor in
cost reduction for the farmer, the
department of farm organization
and management at the University
of Illinois pointed out today. -
1.-THE unit costs, l. e., the costs
per bushel or per ton. of the vari-
GUS crops in a rotation are de-
termined by two factors, the operat-
ing expense Of the farm and the
yields per acre." said the statement
of the department. "Onr corn belt
farms from 60 to 80 per cent Of the
total operating expense is made up
by man and horse labor costs. From
40 to SIS per cent of all man labor
is used in the production Of crops
on such farms. 1t is evident, there
fore. that any reduction which can
be made in either of these two
items will have an important in
ffuence on the cost OF growing
crops. u
"A good rotation OF crops is the
most important factor in reducing
the unit costs of-man {nd horse
labor, especially horse labor. Such
a rotation distributes the man and
horse labor used more evenly
throughout the cropping season.
This is only another way of saying
i that each man and each horse can
grow a larger number OF acres OF
crops with q good rotation than
without such q rotation. AS the
number Of acres Of crop grown by
one man or one horse increases the
cost per acre tends to decrease
Even though the yield per acre
might not be at once increased as q
result, rotation would still be an
important factor in decreasing the
costs per bushel and per ton Of
crop grown. because Of the reduced
cost per acre.
