| (By the Associated Press .)-Testi-
mony today in the trial of Lieu
tenant Governor w. B. Cooper and
Thomas e. Cooper, in federal dis.
trict court, ending the first week OF
the hearing, paved the way for the
appearance Monday OF the govern
ment's final witness, by which the
prosecution will seek to prove its
charge that the Cooper brothers
conspired in alleged violations of the
national banking laws and to en-
bezzle and misapply funds of the
Commercial National Bank of Will
mington, Of which they were re
speCtiveIy chairman of the board OF
directors and president.
H. r. Tull, agent of the federai
department of justice, is the wit
ness upon whom the prosecution Is
depending to link up the vast quan
tity of evidence already introduced
Investigations made by Tull, after
the closing of the bank, led to the
arrest of the defendants and of Hor
ace c.. Cooper, cashier of the de
funct bank, and son Of the Heuten
ant governor, and Clyde w. Lassi
ter, who are also under indictment
For the first time since the trial
started the prosecution placed on
the stand a depositor who testified
to having lost everything" in the
failure of the bank. She was Mrs
Cuthbert Martin, widow of a for
mer vice president of the bank, who
said that all Of her husbands estate
and more than $4,000 of her per
Sonal funds were entrusted to the
bank at the time of it's failure. Mrs
Martin testified that Lieutenant
Governor Cooper was administrator
of her husbands estate. that she
had become dissatisfied with his
methods in handling it, and had
sought to have herself named ex
ecutrix, A legal action relating tc
this controversy was brought be
fore Judge Conner in which he ruled
that the federal court did not have
jurisdiction.
Most of Saturday was spent in in
PRODUCING records Of the Commercial
National and a large stack Of ledg'
ers and other books was added to
the great quantity of documentary
evidence already introduced.
Testimony yesterday was to the
effect that large block Of the
stock With' a par value Of $4,000
had been sold to the citizens of
Wilmington a few months before
the doors of the bank were opened.
Several witnesses testified that the
stock had been sold to them by
Thomas e. Cooper, who told them,
they testified, that he was doing
them a favor to let them have it
at a bargain Of 500 per share as it
was worth more than that and that
their names were on "list of prom
inent citizens who would be allow
ed to become stockholders in the
bank. These same witnesses testi-
fled that a few months later re-
ceivers for the then defunct bank
called on them to pay par value as
sessments on their holdings

Secretary of Agriculture Wallace, a

Johnson, Minnesota, today cha
lenged a "city chap" as his next

farmer distinction, and is not like
ly to prove a "cinch" for Johnson.
Perhaps unwittingly, Johnson is
giving Mccormick an advantage in
the contest One Of his stipulationS
is that Holstein cows shall produce
the milk. Mccormick owns a big

CHEAP ARSENATE IS
DEADLY CROP PERIL.
FARMERS ARE TOLD

A statement warning farmers That
cheap calcium arsenate, not up to
the standards required by the state
and federal government. is being
sold in Georgia, was issued Saturday
bv Ira w. Williams, state entomolO-
gist. Farmers who buy such cal
cium arsenate will lose their cotton
crops, as well as waste their money,
it was said.
''It has recently been reported to
me-" Mr.. Williams said, that cheap
calcium arsenate, that is, calcium
arsenate not up to the standard re-
quired by the state and federal gov
eminent, is being sold in Georgia at
a very low price. We are very anx-
ious that the farmers of the state
have calcium arsenate at the lowest
possible price, and we are doing ev-
erything that we can to bring this
about, but it must meet the require
ments.
''The farmer who buys calcium ar
senate that does not meet the re-
quirements is not only throwing his
money away, but will lose his crop.
1.-The Georgia state board Of ento-
mology shipped out Of the state last
year several cars that did not meet
requirements. 1t is not always pos
sible for us to catch and analyZe all
calcium arsenate, which is sold often
times in the state without our knowI-
edge.
I'VE are therefore writing this
article to warn the farmers against
buying calcium arsenate from any
thing but reputable companies, and
those companies that have been ap-
proved by the state board of ento-
mology.
''Do not buy calcium arsenate that
does not have the inspection tag of
the department attached to each

department could not support any
specific form of contract, but could
pass on to the farmer the infOrma-
ton it had compiled.
Most of the criticism is unffjust, !"
he stated. 1--WE have. criticism from
those who feel that the department
is not sympathetic enough with CO.
operative marketing and on the 9TH
er hand from those who feel it is too
sympathetic" He then called on his
critics to submit a detailed state
ment of their complaints.
At the close of the address, Mr..
Sapiro asked if the secretary would
answer a few questions there and
then. Mr.. Wallace replied that he
was in a hurry to get to cabinet
