Buckwheat Quite Useful
as Short Season Crop

,Buckwheat Is "a short-SeaSon emer-
gency crop which can be grown In
many states The crop is useful to
replace q corr planting which is
drowned out and cannot be -eplanted,
and ii may also be used TO fill other
emergencies in the rotation. Buck
wheat always commands a relatively
good price on the market and, while
the yield is generally only ahfteen to
twenty bushels per acre, the return
per acre Is usually quite satisfactory.
Buckwheat natures in ten or twelve
weeks and can be seeded as late as
the first week In July. IT is adapted
to a wide range of soil and, in fact,
will grow to better advantage on poor
soils than a great many other crops.
The usual seeding rate Is four or five
pecks to the acre and the seed may be
either drilled or broadcaSted. Among
the best varieties is the japanese
buckwheat. (
Cutting when the first seeds have
matured and the others are well
formed is advised. The crop must be
left in the field about ten days to dry
out and the balance of the seed will
ripen In this time. II the cutting Is
delayed until all the seed is ripe, some
of the earliest seed is likely TO shatter.

Most Careful Attention
for Eggs During Summer

Eggs are easily secured in March,
April and May. Ii is during the three
months which follow that the flock re-
auires most careful attention. Twelve
years results at the Storr's egg-laying
contest showed that a normal well-fed
hen should lay within seven of as many
eggs in June, July and August as she
laid In March, April and May. The
average cost Of feed for a hen is APP
proximately 10 cents per month. This
feed bin naturally runs less in summer
months than in winter months. When
seven ont Of ten eggs produced by the
average hen are produced from March
first to September first, can you afford
TO overlook feeding for summer egg
production?

COMMITTED MURDER FOR
 MONEY TO BUY DIAMOND
Coroner Thus Explains Staying C Topstone Farmer Hermit By
 Dandone.

Bridgeport, July 17.--John Dan- done. 26. was today held criminalls responsible for the death of George Hultz, 70, on May 4.
 This is the finding of Coroner John J. Phelan made public today, copies of which he sent to the states at torney's office and to Grand Juror Charles W. Walker of Ridgefield.
 Hultz's death, according to the find ing, was caused by compound frac- ture of the skull, inflicted by blow from an instrument in the hands of Dandone. 4
 Dandone is now prisoner in the Danbury jail.
 The coroner says that the murder was committed not necessarily be- cause of i'll feeling or in self defense but to obtain sufficient money with which to purchase diamond ring thereby to make good" his story of pretended wealth to a girl in Danbury.
 The coroner in describing the testi- money taken said that early in the spring Dandone, how showed an earn est desire to be married, became en- gagged to young girl of Danbury. and to her brother he made boosting but false statements as to his financial means. He presented the girl with a diamond ring which cost s1o0. When the fact that his representations were false became known the engagement was broken and the girl returned the ring to Dandone.
 On July T, Dandone accused him. self by writing to Sergeant Frank Virelli of the state police of the kill ing of Hultz. He also said he placed the body in Umpawaug pond and that he had taken $30 from the clothing worn by the deceased.
 The coroner then went on to say that it was assumed, although con- trary to the reasons given for the homicide that Dandone had no actual ill-feeing nor had any reason for claim of self defense in killing Hultz but was influenced with the desire to obtain sufficient money from the de- ceased and with his own saving to set up a showing that he was suitable able to support a wife, and that he could pay for the ring bought just before Hultz's death.
 The statement of Dandone given to the coroner set up the claim of self defense to an attack with a shotgun made on him as he was passing within 100 feet of the shack. The coroner says that the defense failed of legal plausibility because Dandone courted danger by running towards the shack rather than in fleeing from it to es- cape.
