Judge Smith then said he had told
Judge Hundley the shots were al

Mr. Byrd.

If you said it. is 1t true?"

Mr.. Byrd here read from Judge
Smiths former testimony, showing
a variation as to where Mrs. Pierce
was. He was repeatedly told by
counsel and the court to stop CIV

Objections to Questions.
"If I.don't give the differences"
said Judge Smith, cit will seem that
my testimony is conflicting while in

do you mean that your infer
ences conflict with the facts Of the
case?"
NO"
well. how can your evidence be
contradictory"
Judge Smith then read his
former testimony, which showed
that he said Bob Garrett had the
minister covered when he pulled
the shotgun. This was slightly diff.
ferent from his testimony of the
present trial.
Did you say that?" asked Mr..
Byrd.
Its in the record"
Judge White ruled this was an
answer.
We'll did you say it,"
Yes =

YES"
Mr.. Byrd then, by a series Of
questions which were objected to
at every point, forced Judge Smith
to describe Mr.. Pierce's condition
as vividly as he had at a previous
hearing. He changed his testimony
from an exhausted man, walking
unsteadily," to las weary q man as

Farmers Like Nitrate of
Soda on Apple Trees

One of the most interesting and
successful demonstrations in the use
of nitrate of soda as a fertilizer on
apple trees. as conducted by the Ex-
tension Service and the Farm Blu
reau, is the one being conducted by
F. n. Lapham of Litchfield In an
orchard of Ben Davis apple trees.
Mr. Lapham used nitrate of soda. az,
the trees in every other row and left
the alternate rows unfertilized as a
check. The trees which have nitrate
of soda upon them are much more
thrifty than those which have not
been treated. The leaves are darker
in color and larger. The fruit. too.
is much larger. SO that MIR. Lapham
will get very much larger per-
centage of No. / apples where he
used the nitrate of soda than where
he did not use it.
c. A. Graves of Sidney also has
demonstration of nitrate of soda
which is showing most excellent re-
suits. This particular project Will
be conducted by the Extension
Service another year. The object OF
the project Is to show farmers the
actual results to be obtained from
the use of nitrate of soda in this
wav The cost of fertilization IS
small as compared with the use OF
other chemicals. Mr. Lapham used
from FIVE to eight pounds per tree at
an average cost of about 20 cents
for each tree fertiliZed.
