F ARM MARKET
PLAN WORKS


BOSTON, May GA new record
for successful COOPERATION among
states has been set not only for
New England but for the entire
United States, by the successful
completion of the first step in the
program for the better marketing
Of New England farm products
formulated by the agricultural COM
Tnittee Of the New England Council,
in cooperation with the New Eng
land Commissioners of Agriculture
and approved by the New England
Farm Marketing Conference.
The legislatures of Yer m t,
Maine, Massachusetts, and Connect.
cut have passed similar bills pro-
Viding for the establishment of vol
untary grades and standards for
quality farm products, and the
Rhode Island legislature re-enacted
previous legislation for the same
purpose. New Hampshire In the
only New England state in which
the bill failed to pass and then only
as a result Of a legislative tangle
in the closing hours of the session.
1t Is believed that despite the
failure Of the farm marketing bill
in New Hampshire the movement
for uniform and identified standards
for New England farm products can
be carried forward in that state in
harmony with progress in the other
five states.

Phoenix Man Kills
Wife and Himself

The wedding of a daughter stirred
to life the former sentiments of her
! divorced father and mother and, their
renewal refused by the latter, the
happy event ended in the tragic mur-
der of the mother and the suicide of
the father.

ris Krebs, 55, fatally shot his wife,
Mollie, 40, who obtained Reno, New,
divorce from him last May and then
ended his own life with a bullet
through the head. The shootings
were reported to have occurred in the
small hours of the morning at Mrs.
Krebs' home, the shots having been
heard but not Investigated. The trag
edy was discovered at eight o'clock
by another daughter Vivian, %, who
told the police that she thought the
shots she heard were the backfiring
of passing automobiles. Krebs was
dead, and his divorced wife died soon
after the daughter found her uncon-
scious in her bed.
Vivian told the police her father
and mother had seemed quite happy
to be together again at the wedding
of her sister Hannah, 18, but that la
ter in the evening they had quarreled
a bit when her mother refused to
return to her father. The police re-
ported Krebs previously had threat
ened to kill Mrs Krebs since she OBJ
tanned the divorce.

ceremony for motor honeymoon,
unaware Of the tragedy.
Krebs had come to Los Angeles
from Phoenix, Ariz., for the wedding.
He had come to Phoenix only three

tablish a furniture business, in which
he had been engaged in Los Angeles
for several years.
