Boston, May 12.-P-After a six

electric chair hung tonight over
Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo VAN

murder trial. An opinion handed
down today by the full bench of the

In Dedham jail and Charlestown

cations the world over had expended
more than $4,000 had ended in de-
feat for their cause. William G..

C&oE1lnaulnrliltz
y Building
Any Attention Paid to
Law, Is Fully Repaid

Thoughtful builders always save the
top six or eight inches of soil exca-
waited and use it as top dressing over
the remainder of the lawn. The more
fertile, of course, q lawn can be made
the quicker and better the grass and
other paintings will grow.
One of the best methods for improy-
application Of well-rotted stable ma
nure. Frequent top dressings with
good complete fertilizer add much to
the fertility Of lawn.
Old lawns, IL the weeds and coarse
grasses have driven out the finer vel
vety grasses, may be improved much
by blowing or spading the sod, turning
1t under to a depth of eight or ten Inches,
following this by a thorough cultiva-
ton, and then reseeding at the rate of
one to two bushels Of June grass to
one to two bushels of red top, and
eight pounds of white clover per acre.
Some of the commercial lawn mixtures
may be substituted for this mixture
with less trouble. A smooth, we'll
sodded lawn can be obtained in two
or three years by frequent clipping.
For the average person wishing to
beautify lawn, the suggestion to
study carefully lawns laid out and
handicapped by experts as we'll as
home-planned lawns is well worth
while. Many useful ideas can thus be
picked UP and applied.

Length of Staple Best Lever to In
crease Fleece Weight

Profitable wool production depends
to considerable extent on the weight
of fieeces. A century ago the annual
average fleece weight for wool in the
United States was less than pounds,
but there has been gradual increase
in the weights of f1eeces for American
sheep until now the average is about
Tx pounds.
"There are still possibilities of in
creasing the average fleece weight a
considerable amount" says D. A.
Spencer who is in charge of the sheep
and wool investigational work of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. The increase so far has been
brought about, he says, by the use OF
well-bred, DEMONSTRATING breeding
rams, the culling Of inferior, light
shearing ewes, better feeding and i'm
proved methods of sheep management.
Future progress can still be made by
these methods, but they will need to
be applied in a more exact and
scientific way, he says.
The department has just completed
a three year study of the different
factors which influence the weight of
fieeces of Rambouilet sheep under
range conditions. 1t finds that while
both length of staple and density Of
the fleece influence the weight of
clean marketable wool, length of
staple is of considerably more i'm
