FALL FLOWING Time FAST APPROACHING
Heavy Soils, not too Dry, May be Flowed This
Fall for Early Beet Sowing Next Spring

When careful attention is paid to variable, seasonal
or local conditions fall blowing of heavy. adobe soils may
have marked advantages over spring blowing.
No land should be fall plowed when so dry that only
clods are produced. The danger of a dry winter is too
great. Unless water can be applied to such fields before
blowing it is often advisable to wait until spring. How
ever, where heavy soils and stubble fields can be watered,
fall blowing is preferable if the soil is not given to blow
ing.
Light, sandy soils that blow badly should not be fall
plowed. Nkali land should not be fall plowed. as a rule.
1t is best generally to pillow barnyard manure, straw
or green manure under in the fall or winter.
A good practice is to harrow fall blowing.
If too dry for narrowing use a disk set straight.
Where large clods are produced because of
roadways or blowing too dry, roll. s.
The main objects of fall blowing are Cd to conserve
moisture, and ~ to secure the granulating effect of
winter freezing. These objects may be realized only
when the land is in fit condition to pillow and the work
is properly done.
-~ Comparatively little spring work is required to pre-
- a seed bed on heavy soils properly fall p1owed. There are
e+ numerous object lessons to be seen on all sides this year
illustrating the value of early planting OF sugar beets.
Fall blowing. properly done, will make this possible next
-. spring. IL"

field through fielG glasses for some time to try to determine who should be their victim. They contemplated talk ing a youth named Levinson, son of wealthy attorney, the confession said, adding that the Franks boy happened along first and they decided to abduct him instead.
 After going home the night of the staying, the confession related that the boys enjoyed several games of cards be- fore going to bed. The next day they threw the chisel with which they beat Franks over the head into the street as they drove about in the death car and also went to lonely prairie where they tried to burn the automobile robe used to cover their victim, the comics sion said.
 Describing placing the nude body of the Franks boy in the culvert, the con- fession said:
 II took the feet of the body while Richard took the head, and when the body struck the water, pushed it in and showed it hard At first I thought it doubtful if it would fit, but after getting it started it was not hard and after we got it in l used my foot to push it further"
 The confession a:so declared that it had been the intention of the boys from the first to kill their victim be- cause they feared he would expose them, and that they intended to hide the money for a year and then spend it carelessly.

TEAPOT REPORT
 WINS APPROVAL
lContinned From Page One.l

tCOnt1nu0d From rage UneJ necessary. In view of what has tran spired it should be made plain:
 That no lease or other contract authorizing or providing for extraction of oil or gas from the reserves should be entered into except upon competitive bids for which proposals should be duly advertised.
 "2-That no such lease or contract should be entered into for any purpose except to protect the reserves from drainage, and for such limited areas as should be drilled to that end. unless in the case of emergency to be proclaimed by the President of the United States.
 "3-That every such lease or con- tract should be submitted to and ap- proved by the comptroller general be- fore taking effect.
 "4-That the authority conferred by the act of June 4, 1920, to exchange oil or gas for fuel oil or other products or derivatives of oil or gas."
 The Elk Hill lease to Doheny was described as "unexceptional," but the subsequent contracts with Doheny un- der which government royalty oil was exchanged for tankage were attacked.
 Reviewing the testimony regarding the $100,000 payment to Fall by Do heny, the report declared that the es- sentially corrupt character of a loan made under such circumstances re- Quired no comment.
 Ut would be impossible for an of- ficer to accept loan of such an amount or perhaps of any amount un- der the circumstances" it continued, without a sense of obligation to the lender, which, unless his character was cast in heroic mold, would be revealed in subsequent official transaction with him.
 President Harding was criticised for signing the executive order transferring the lease without having documentary support of any kind" for his action. The department of justice also was de- clared to have failed to diligently as- -sert and maintain" the government g title to section 36 within the confines of naval reserve No. in California, the report stating that had this been done and three other sections properly protected the problem of drainage upon that reserve would have been "rela- lively simple"

POWER COMPANY. ADDFIVE UNITS
 ON TALLAPOOSA.
Permit Given To Further Harness States Water
 Power Resources

WASHINGTON, June 5-The Ala bama Interstate Power company, a subsidy of the Alabama Power com pany of Alabama, was authorized by the Federal Power Commission today to build five power developments on the Tallapoosa river above the sO-caIIed Cherokee Bluffs unit.
 With the construction of the pro jects, it was said, the fullest practi- cable utilization of the rivers power resources will have been attained by a combined installed capacity of 114.000 horsepower.
 The license was issued subject to such conditions as the secretary of war may prescribe in the interest of naviga- ticn.
 The Columbus Electric and Power company of Columbus, Ga. WAS grant ed a preliminary permit to construct a 120 foot power dam and to develop ultimately 5000 horsepower from Bartletts ferry. IS miles above COlum- bus in the Chattahoochee river be tween Georgia and Alabama

are>baek of the fight the prisoners will make to save their lives. Jacob Franks. father of the slain boy has said that he was willing to spend his entire for tune to send his sons murderers to the gailows. And despite the announce ment from the headquarters of defense counsel concerning the forthcoming array of distinguished legal talent, States Attorney Grove declares that he does not need any assistance other than that which his staff will give him.
 To Use Best Men
 ''I have decided to use the best men have to prosecute this case," Grove said. 'They are men who have had long experience iD trying criminal cases All the high-priced lawyers, all tine money, and all the political influence which the millions back of these two killers may be able to get together will lows.
 Tt would be a most outrageous mis- carriage of justice if these two self confessed murderers, rich mems sons. should escape paying the penalty fixed by law for the revolting crime which they related to us in such great de tail"
 Attack Suit Filed
 A new phase of the many angled case developed Thursday when legal, action was brought against the two youths.
 Miss Louise HOhley instituted a suit against the two wealthy 19-year-ol1s, declaring that she had been the victim of an attack by them.
 The alleged attack which Miss Hohley made the basis of her suit took place about four months ago, she said. She charged that she was walking on the street when the two drove up in an automobile, induced her to accom- pany them for a ride, and later as- saulted her. She was then compelled to get out of the car she alleged. She did not know the identities of her com paniOns until she saw their pictures in the papers.
 States Attorney Robert E. Grove, discussing the girls charges, said she had conferred with him several days ago and asked that the matter of the attack be made the subject of grand jury inquiry.
 Positive In Statements
 'She was very positive in her state ments. but I gave her no definite an- swer. as 1 wanted time to consider my course" Grove explained. Il do not want anything to come up just now which will take our attention away from the Franks case, which, of course, is the main issue"
