Success in Apples
in N. ID. Depends on
Hardest Varieties

Can apples be profitably grown in
North Dakota? Yes, indeed. answers
Prof. A. F. Yeager, horticulturist at
the North Dakota agricultural col
lege.
He sums up the whole matter of
successful apple culture by suggesting
selection of trees with hardy roots, by
planting the hardest varieties. by
using the bush form or short trunk
trees, by cultivating carefully. and by
protecting the roots during the winter.
Following are the hardy varieties
Of apples recommended by the North
Dakota State Horticultural society:
Hibernal, Duchess, Patten Greening
Okabena, Anoka, and Charlamoff.

that as soon as it was shown in Los
Angeles it Immediately became a
Mecca for other motion picture di-
rectors, who were anxious to master
its innovations. The tremendous
popularity of this picture is due, how
ever, to its highly dramatic story and
unequalled realism. The innovations
which Mr.. Murnau introduced only
increase the dramatic interest.

SHAFTS PROPOSAL
TO MOP UP LIQUOR
EMBODIED IN BOOK
w. c. Durant Prints 100 Com.
petitive Prohibition Plans
for His Prize

w. c.. Durant has issued a volume
embodying 100 Of the plans submitted
in his $4,000 competition for the best
plan to enforce prohibition efficient
ly. One of the plans printed in the
book is that proposed by Harold d.
Shaft, assistant { 4orney general here.
Copies of tn book, entitled Law
Observance" have been presented to
former President Coolidge, President
Hoover, members of the cabinet, SUI
preme court justices, senators and
representatives and it has been filed
in most of the public libraries of the
country. The announced intention Of
President Hoover to appoint COM
mission to consider law enforcement
gives the contents timely interest.
Besides Mr.. Shaft. another North
Dakota contributor was A. T. Cole,
district judge. Fargo, who emphasized
the use of sacramento wine as leak
for supplying beverage wine to lay
communicates by ecclesiastical au-
thorities.
In his plan Mr.. Shaft advocates
discontinuance of separate prohibi-
ton administration and making the
department of justice the response
BILE head of prohibition enforcement
with the United States marshals
and state peace officers executing
officers.
Secure a popular attitude of i'm
partially toward the liquor laws"
says the article. 1.-The liquor laws
should not be separated from other
laws, but should be the same as other
criminal laws and enforced in the
same manner. A scientific uniform
definition of Intoxicating liquors
should be established and uniform
prohibition laws in every state con-
sistent with and in support of the
federal laws should be passed."
Mr. Shaft states that the grada-
ton of offenses and penalties there
fore should be revised. Only one
penalty for each offense should be
inflicted. In explaining these points
he declares that hip flask offenders
and persons who make home brew in
their homes for their own use should
be punished. but not as severely as
the manufacturers and those who
operate on large scale. Persons who
are arrested on state charge should
not be punished by the federal gov
eminent for the same offense, he
says.
The nuisance. padlocking and con-
fiscation provisions should be MAIN
tanned and strengthened if the liquor
laws are to be enforced. he says. and
the internal revenue taxation should
be limited to legitimate intoxicants
only.

figures Show Shift Greatest in
Central and Southern
Areas Of Country

The farm population Of the United
states is now the smallest in 20 years,
reports the bureau Of agricultural
economics, u. S. Department Of Agri-
culture. which estimates the farm
population OF $1,000 persons on
January l, 1929. as compared win q
pcak Of $4,000. 900 persons IN 1909.
The bureaus estimate also shows a
decrease in farm population during
the past year. despite improved agri-
cultural conditions and a slight
slackening in industrial employment
the January l. 1929. figure compar-
inc with farm population OF u $780,
600 persons on January !, 1873.
The decrease in farm population
the past year would have been much
greater were it not offset by an ex-
cess of births over deaths, the fig-
ures revealing that in the movement
of population from and to farms,
1860 900 persons left farms during
the year. and $4,000 persons moved
from cities to farms.
The movement away from farms
slowed up somewhat during the year
as compared with Immediately pre-
cedin0 years, but the movement from
cities to farms was also smaller. Thus
it is shown that 1860 900 persons left
farms during the past year, compared
with 1875, 600 in 1927, and with 2,l55,-
600 in 1926. The movement from cities
to farms was 100000 persons last
year, l,374,000 in 1927. and 1.135.OO0 IN
1926.
The large farm birthrate OF %
births per 1000 persons and small
death rate of eight deaths per 600
persons has been q large factor off,
setting the farm to city movement,
g that the net loss Of farm popula-
ton last year vas $4,000 persons.
compared with l93, 900 in 1927. and
with $4,000 in 1926.
The bureaus figures show that IN

sons left the farms last year and

than 100000 pilgrims, hundreds OF
them nearly frantic in their quest
for supernatural relief from afflic-
tons, stormed Holy Cross cemetery
here Sunday and fought for a
chance to touch the grave OF a
young priest.
Reports of several alleged "cures"
had inspired hope in the thousands
and they transformed the tomb of
the Rev. Patrick J. Power, who
died sixty years ago, into a virtual
shrine.
So eager and excited was the
throng that swarmed through the
cemetery gates that 1t pushed aside
the rope barriers erected around the
grave and left a special squad Of
fuorteen policemen helpless to
handle the situation.
Traffic was blocked for miles
around the cemetery Sunday by
automobiles filled with pilgrims.
Some visitors came from distant
points.
Women tainted and children were
trampled in hysterical attempts to
get close to the priests grave. Some

lief that Christ Tonneff, slain in the
doorway of his home two weeks ago,
paid with his life for lni-jacking
stolen automobiles is now held by
authorities. A theory that stolen
slot machines were involved in the
affair has been discarded.
Harry S. Taylor, prosecuting at

which will convene a week from to-
day. No arrests have been made
in the case, and authorities admit
it is the most battling murder
mystery here in recent years.
A suspect taken into custody in
another case gave the first clew
to form basis for the stolen car
theory. He told authorities of the
wide scope of automobile thefts and
said that heavy profits were soon
followed by trouble.
Taylor proposes to lay before the

theft operations, hoping to find
some place in it in which Tonneff
will fit.

CAMDEN. N. j., Nov. 11.-Mrs.
Gladys Parks, 35-year-old cabaret
pianist and jazz singer, today was
taken by Camden county and state
police authorities over the route
which marked her alleged murder
of the two children of Allen Rogers,
Woodbury. IN. j. insurance man.
She first was taken by District
Attorney Clifford A. Baldwin and
Detective Chief Lawrence T. Doran
to Absecon, N. j., where the body of
20-month-old Timothy Ablen was
found four blocks from the Abse-
con state police barracks Sunday
morning, after she furnished au-
thoritieS in Trenton with details of
how to find 1t.
Later she will be brought back
here to the house where the alleged
murder of Timothy's 5-year-old
sister, Dorothy, occurred. Author
tiles will then take her to the spot
near National Park, N. j., where
the quicklime-covered remains of
the little girl were found by two
school children en- route to church
the morning of Nov. 2.
Meanwhile, police are Investigate
ing the disappearance of four other
children believed to have been ur1-
der the woman's care at one time.
Authorities in other cities have
been asked to check their reports
of missing children for several
years back.
Detectives Doubt Story
Detectives were frank in saying
they doubted the story of the wom-
an who surrendered in Newark Sun
day and subsequently was brought
here and put in jail on a charge of
murder.
The woman denied killing limo
thy, and insisted he died from a
fall downstairs. Dorothy, she said,
died after being slapped. Question
ing in Newark and later by police
here failed to shake Miss Parks in
her story. She gave an emotionless
recital of the developments since
Allen N. Rogers, an insurance agent
of Woodbury., gave her the children
to care for after his wife died last
April.
Cousin of Mother
Miss Parks is cousin of Mrs.
Rogers.
Two other persons
Baker, Miss Parks common-law
husband, and George w. Parks, her
father-are being held here as ma
terial witnesses.
Detective Sergeant Louis Shaw in
Dictated that today'S questioning
would seek to determine whether
charges of attempted blackmail
against Miss Parks could be sub
9tantiated.
-Four wel1-known Philadelphia
men and three from Atlantic City
have told us of her game" Shaw
said. 1--WE will not reveal their
names because the men need not be
mixed up in this affair. She used
their children (Timothy and Dor
othy) and others to confront the
men she was trying to blackmail.
She would tell them the children
were theirs"
Miss Parks was unmoved In de-
scribing the death and burial of the
children. She said she was afraid
she would be charged with muir
der if she told police about what
she apparently considered the &C
cidental deaths of Timothy and
Dorothy.
