Vegetable Poisoning
Avoided by Cooking

Lincoln. Nov. 6.-Botulinus poison
ing, case of which recently occurred
at. Morrill, Neb.. and concerning
which considerable interest has been
shown. occurs in America only in
vegetables. according to the depart
ment of agriculture. although a few
cases of 1t occurring in canned meats
have been reported from Europe.
This poison is so rare. according to
the department. that Il is difficult
TO say whether IL is more likely to
occur in cold packs or not, and IL
advises that the only safe way Of pre-
venting the poison is TO thoroughly
cook vegetables after removing them
from the can. This destroys the toxin.
although heating or cooking yege-
tables before putting them in cans
does not definitely destroy the poison.
Acid or sugar stops the growth. the
department. statement continues and
so the poison does not occur
In fruits or tomatoes. The case at

Wants Nebraska Farmers
to Stop Raising Wheat

Lincoln, Nov. 6.-H. j. Watson OF
Kearney, one-time owner of the
famous '173? RANCH" and introducer
of alfalfa into Nebraska, would like
to see Nebraska farmers give up
wheat as a crop.
Canada and the Argentine can
grow all the wheat we need in the
world" he said here today. "and it's
about time our farmers grew some
thing on which they can make .
profit. Wheat takes more from the
soil and costs more to produce than
the farmer can get out Of II. Why
don't we let those other countries
grow the wheat and Wen grow crops
that we can handle better and that
will net more money"

tons. charge that Shuman has repre-

BY Associated Press.
Defense Attorney Robert Beatty. in
his arguments on the forgery motion
this morning sought to distinguish the
difference between the making of a
false instrument" and the false max
ing Of an instrument" He argued
that although the contents of an
Instrument are false, 1t is not forgery
when signed by the county treasurer
who. by virtue of his office, has a
legal right" to sign his name to such
a paper. He declared that such an
act as Mr.. Souder has been accused
of by the state may be malfeasance
of office. but that 1t is not forgery
as charged In the indictment.
Special Prosecutor Shuman argued
that every letter in the tax receipts
and checks under question are false
and that Mr. souder knew they were
false, therefore. he should be tried for
forgery. Attorneys for both the state
and the defense cited numerous au
thorities for their arguments.
Judge John l.. Tewell temporarily
overruled the motions seeking tc
quash the forgery indictment against
Samuel NJ. Souder. former Lincoln
county treasurer. In announcing his
decisio, following a mornig OF Legal
arguments on the indictments, Judge
Tewell said the motions were over
ruled with the understanding that II
