THE "TALKIE" AND THE CROOK

1t is quite possible that the Philadelphia police
thorities, who made talking movie of arrested
mans confession to crime, have hit upon develop
nent that will be of far-reaching Importance in Ameri-
can chronological practice
Safety Director Schofied, of Philadelphia, believes
that all police stations will have their studios
in which they will make 'takies' Of all prisoners
soon as they arrested.
"The advantages of moving-talkng pictures the
the present rogues gallery portraits is that they will
enable person looking at the pictures to identify
criminal by his speech walk and characteristic move
ments,' he says.
'At present it is often impossible to identity Grim
nal from still pictures because he is from diff
ferelt angle With talking and moving pictures can
get 4 complete resemblance from every angle"
There is another way, more important, to our
mind, in which the takie be of service.
Once man is arrested the police always try to get
a confession from him. Often they succeed. But we
have heard much about the third degree that ures
sometimes do not accept these confessions prisoner
on trial will repudiae his confession saying it OBJ
taned through torture or nistreatment and the jury
often believes him
Suppose now that 3talkie" OF the prisoner max
ing his confession il shown the jury Instantly it be-
comes perfectly evident whether not there was un
due coercion An important loOphole for criminals IS
cosed-and at the time the prisoner is protected
from police brutality.
The "talkie" may well have profound effect on po-
lice procedure.

Many Flocks Are Kept
in Very Small Houses

Many Kansas flocks are kept in
houses too small to make possible the
best results from the hens. For light
breeds the house should afford 315
square feet of floor area for each bird.
The heavy breeds should not have less
than 4 square feet. Only sufficient
height to furnish head room for the
attendant is needed in the poultry
house. Many poultry houses have
been built unnecessarily high, at ex-
ira cost and resulting in less COM
Portable shelter.
For economical construction that
will meet the essential requirements
for profitable poultry and egg produc-
ton, the straw loft type of poultry
house is recommended to meet Kansas
climatic conditions.-Walter G. Ward,
Extension Architect, Kansas State Ag-
ricultural College.

Spreading Fertilizer
on Snow Good Practice

Manure is too valuable to waste in
any way. A manure spreader is one
of the most profitable pieces of equip
ment that farmer can have, and with
it manure can be spread rapidly and
uniformly so that the greatest good is
gotten from it. Haul and spread ma
nure whenever possible during the
winter. Keep the spreader close to
the barn so that when the stalks are
clean the manure can be thrown di-.
rectly into it. Spreading the fertilizer
on the soil before snow or in between
storms is good practice. The rainfall
going through the manure will leach
out much of its value and carry 1t
right into the soil. Strawy manure
spread in the winter time has a chance
to rot before it is turned under the
soil in the spring.

Agricultural Hints

ooooooooOooOoo oo0ooooOoO0ooo
A well balanced and complete ra-
tion is a necessity in growing chick
ems.
Cabbage plants started in February
will be less likely to produce seed
stalks than those started in January.
Self-feeding gives larger gains than
hand feeding under most conditions.
This applies to all the feed as well
as tankage.
Shredding all corn or stover not en-
siled helps to control the European
corn borer. Do not let any of the in
sects survive.
One of the essentials of a good silo
is an impervious wall, one which will
exclude air and retain the moisture
in the silage.
There are Hessian fly adults laying
eggs on the volunteer wheat. If you
have any volunteer wheat on your
farm it should be destroyed.
Efficient feeding, proper care, and
culling of Improbable cows as prac-
ticed in COW testing associations is
raising the averages of butter fat pro-
duction.
Lime should be applied to the gar.
den soil, since few vegetables pro-
duce good crops on acid soil. Appli-
cation may be made just after the
garden has been plowed.
Experiments have proved that II
pays to cure seed corn inside, with
artificial heat IL necessary. Yields
twice as great nave been obtained
from fire-dried seed as from seed
stored in the corn crib for drying.
1t is best to feed young calves three
times a day. according to the Oregon
experiment station, as young calves
will utilize small amount of milk
fed often to a better advantage than
larger amount fed at longer Inter-
Yals.

Turkey Raising
on Clean Ground
One of Most Important Pre-
v ventives of Dread Dis
ease of Blackhead.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Success in turkey raising Is largely
a question of proper management,
says the United States Department of
Agriculture. The fundamental factors
essential to success are described by
DIR. M. A. JUL and A. r. Leesof the
bureau of animal industry in Farm
ers' Bulletin 1409-F, just published by
the department.
First Aim of Raiser.
Avoidance Cf parasites and proven.
tion of disease should be the first aim
of every turkey raiser, these special
lists say. OF the infectious diseases
common to turkeys, blackhead is the
most destructive, but it can be con-
trolled by proper sanitation. Black
head occasionally affects adult turk
eys, but it. occurs principally among
young turkeys between the ages of 6
weeks and A months. Keeping the
quarters strictly sanitary and burning
all dead birds will help prevent spread
of the disease.
1t is of more Importance, however,
to adopt measures that will prevent
the Introduction of blackhead into the
flock. One of the most important pre-
ventive measures is the keeping of
the poults on clean ground not occu-
pied by chickens because chickens
often carry the host of the bIackhead
organism. Pigeons, sparrows and 9TH
ers birds or animals should also be
kept from the turkey houses or yards
for the same reason.
Suitable Turkey Breeds.
In this new publication the poultry
specialists describe the various breeds
or varieties of turkeys suitable for the
different sections of the United States.
Also they discuss the approved man
agement practices and the preparation
of the birds for market.
Copies of the bulletin may be OBJ
tanned free as long as the supply lasts
by writing to the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture, Washington.

"Quebec" Indian Name

The word Quebec is Of Indian orr
gin. 1t was used by the Micmacs to
denote a narrow passage like that be-
tween Halifax harbor and Halifax
basin. and by the Algonquins for
similar purpose. The peculiar con-
formation of the st. Lawrence river at
Quebec where Cape Diamond narrows

and doubtless gave rise to the use of
the word as the name Of the city.

GUNS CAN'T SETTLE
STRIKE, SAYS GREEN

Washington. - "The Elizabethton
strike could be settled in five minutes
by reasonable men," declared VIM.
Green, president A. F. of L., in a
public criticism of Governor Horton
for sending several hundred troops
to the scene of the Tennessee strike.
Mr.. Green also forwarded a protest
to the governor. "Your unwarranted
action" said the trade unionist,
means that machine guns are to be
used in the settlement of industrial
controversies.
"As governor of Tennessee YOU
should direct the mill management at
Ellzabethton, when they applied for
troops, TO settle this dispute along
the lines of reason, fair play and JUS
tice. Such action would be a contri-
button to the cause of industrial
peace. Besides, your constituents in
eastern Tennessee, who work in the
mills, would know their rights are re-
spected.
I'm very large way you will be
held responsible for this indefensible
expenditure of public funds, for any
violence which may follow the as
signment of troops and death-dealing
guns into that community and the
notification of constructive efforts of
broad-minded, tolerant men to settle
this dispute"
