High Court Reverses
Conviction of ROther

Conviction of F. C. Rother. pres
ident of the Towner County Bank at
Perth, on charges of exhibiting a
false paper to a bank examiner and
embezzlement has been reversed by
the supreme court.
Reversal was based on errors of
law by the Rolette county district
court, in which Rother was tried
on change of venue from Towner
county after his indictment by q
Iowner county jury. Rother had
been sentenced to . term of one to
four years on the charge Of exhibit
ing the false paper.
Errors on which the indictment
was set aside were that Rother had
been denied an opportunity to show
that John Mc1llrath. one of the
grand jurors, was prejudiced
against him, whereas the law re-
quires that he have opportunity to
make such q showing. 1t also was
held that the court erred in its in
structions to the jury at the trial.
The cases were remanded to the dis
trict court for further proceedings
not inconsistent with the supreme
court decision.
The conviction Of Ed. Thompson
by the Mountrail county district
court on grand larceny charge was
affirmed. The defendant contended
that his conviction was invalid be-
cause he was not present in the
courtroom when the jury's verdict
was returned. The court found that
this was not prejudicial error since
he had absented himself Il his own
free will.

SEED SPUDS TO
BE RAISED IN
BURLEIGH CO,
eight Farmers Plan to Plant
200 Bushels of Certified
Triumphs

Because the Slope country can
.aise the finest seed potatoes IN the
world, eight Burleigh county farm
.rs will plant 200 bushels of Certi-
lied Triumphs this spring with the
Express purpose Of laying the foun-
iation for the building up of a seed
.aising business.
L. J. Garske will seed approx.
nately 20 acres with the Certified
rriumphs while the other farmers
Who will also seed this variety are
Iohn SCHNEIDER, Wilbert Fields, Carl
Schultz, Oswald Oss, Eric Slovak,
William B. Falconer and c. q. Mel
son.
The potatoes were purchased
from Frank Splonskowski, Brad
dock, who has been raising this
variety for number of years with
pronounced success, according to A.
r. Miesen, Burleigh county agrl-
cultural extension agent.
1.-THE Slope country Is at the right
altitude for the growing of this
variety" Mr.. Miesen said. Potatoes
raised here are remarkably free
from disease and for that reason are
much in demand by southern grow
ers. Hitherto the distance from the
commercial market has hindered the
development Of the potato-seed rails
ing business in western North Da-
kota but the day is at hand If our
experiments work out as anticipated
when the Slope country will take
it's place with the Red River valley
in the quality of seed potatoes that
can be grown here.
introduction of this potato
variety and its successful develop
ment will mean the planting of con-
siderable acreage. North Dakota
and Minnesota potatoes have a
great market in Texas and other
states as far north as Iowa and it
is this market for which the
Triumphs will be grown.
Potatoes harvested this fall will
be kept for seeding in the spring Of
1929.
