 Courtesy Up For Discussion
 Chairman Bannan asked if Dahl gren had any witnesses, Whcreupon Attorney Nair asked if Dahlgren was permitted to have counsel. The chairman replied that the meeting was in the form of an inquiry, in formal in nature. I've represent the citizens of New Britain" he said. If we have officers who arc acting in the manner claimed bv MT. Dahlgren we want to protect the citizens, but we also must pro- tect members of the police depart ment and that is why we are here trying to get at the facts.'
 Attorney Nair said it was GUS tomary in courts and elsewhere to extend courtesy to attorneys who wanted continuances and in this case his brother, Attorney David l.. Nair, had asked that this courtesy be given. Speaking of courtesy. replied Chairman Bannan, T had a telephone call from your brother last night about this matter and told him 1t was not necessary for MT. Dahlgren to have counsel to, night and the inquiry was going on at this time, Today 1 received q registered letter and all it meant to me was that your brother had changed his mind. l told him on the telephone I would wait until ? or 9.30 o'clock for him to be here"

 after Dahlgren's arrest, the sergeant told him Dahlgren had not been very drunk yet he now testified that the
 man was decidedly under the in- fluence of liquor. John A. Ander- son of 235 Buell. street, former pub- lie works commissioner, gave simi- lar testimony but Sergeant Feeney refuted it, saying he told MT. An- derson and Mir. Johnson that Dahl- gren, when arrested was intoxicat- ed and very abusive. Mr. Anderson also told of a visit he received at the store where he is employed, from Sergeant McCue about 1 o clock in the afternoon of the day after the alleged assault, and the sergeant, after describing the scuf- i flc in the cell, said he regretted that he had ever gone into it. 50 am l sorry.'

Charges Commission
Grabs Best Seats

CHICAGO, July 30.-(P-A re-
bellion against the adm ted prac-
tice of the Illinois state boxing COM
mission in demanding choice seats
for boxing shows was started today
by Paddy Harmon, director Of the
Chicago Stadium company.
Harmon made public complaint to
the press that the commission had
grabbed" $50 of the choicest seats
for the sammy Mendell-T Tony Can
zoneri lightweight championship
fight at the stadium Friday night.
"The stadium hasn't received a
cent for these tickets and the prac-
tice has become so serious to pro-
motors in Chicago that the time has
come for a showdown" Harmon
said. For this coming fight, the
commission has taken $50 seats,
worth more than $4,000, without
paying a cent for them. What could
we do but give them to the COM
m~issioners? If they didn't get them,
1t would be too bad for us. We have
to get dates frG.n the commission"
Harmon said he would request
the commission either to return the
tickets or pay for them.
Paul Prehn, chairman of the ring
body, said the large number Of
tickets we're requested to fill the de-
mands of politicians and friends Of
the commission.

CROP ROTATION
FARM SUBJECT
Speaker Discusses Practical
Value In Short Course
Program lecture

COLLEGE STATION, Texas, July
30.-Crop rotation Is becoming OF
increasing Importance On many
Texas farms, not only because Of
its value in producing larger yields
but for various other practical rea-
sons also, e. A. Miller, agronomist
of the Extension Service, "A. and M.
College of Texas, pointed out III
addressing the farm crops division
of the Farmers Short Course here
Monday. Advantages of a good ro-
tation or cropping system, in adj
dition to increased yields to the
acre, were cited by Mr.. Miller as
follows: Aid in the control of in
sect pests and plant diseases, help
In keeping down weeks, use of a
legume or soil building crop such
as cowpeas, soy beans, sweet clover
and the like, and better distribution
of labor on the farm.
Experiments by the Texas Agri-
cultural Experiment Station at the
blackland Substation near Temple
showed big increase in acre yield
and the largest net profits in the
rotation OF cotton, corn and oats,
Mr.. Miller said. I'm this rotation"
he added, 'the average yields to
the acre over a period of 10 years
were 276 pounds of lint cotton, 34.3
bushels of corn and 80 bushels of
oats as contrasted with 142 pounds
Of lint cotton, 1913 bushels of corn
and 27.3 bushels Of oats with con-
tinuous cropping. Every acre in
the rotation made an average profit
OF $3.50 whereas continuous cotton
made only $7.33 profit an acre"
A four year rotation Of cotton,
cowpeas, corn and oats at the main
station at College Station, produced
an average annual yield over a per-
iod Of 10 years of 223 pounds Of
lint cotton, while cotton planted
on the same land year after year
made only 1872 pounds to the acre
the speaker said. The results Of
these and other experiments cited
prove ~conclusively that a farmer
can well afford to establish a good
cropping system, he added in con-
cluSion,

tanning their objective, Brownsville
leaders in Boy Scout work are
planning to give every citizen an
opportunity TO contribute to o. fund
which will be used to finance To-
cal activities, to help defray the
expense of the Valley-wide council,
to pay off q part of the debt on
Camp Perry and possibly to erect
a Brownsville Boy Scout hut at the
camp on the Arroyo Colorado. near
Rio Hondo.
Arrangements for the drive were
made at a meeting at the chamber

ing in each of the II districts.
The sum sought includes $2500 as
Brownsville's portion of the annual
Valley-wide budget and $1,000
which was not raised on the budget
for 1923.
This is an investment in fu:ure
citizenship that we are asking the
citizens Of Brownsville to make"
Mockbee said just before the drive
started. I'VE are not asking for
gifts, we are asking people to buy
something-to make an investment
which will pay rich rewards in the
future Of our city, county, state
and nation.
I'VE hope by this drive to be
able to interest enough men in Boy
Scout work to enable us to really
organize the boys Of Brownsville.
There now are four troops in
Brownsville. There should be at
least eight. The boys are clamor-
ing to enroll and we have no lead
ers to put at the head Of the
troops"

Of the Valley budget and has it in
the bank waiting for other Valley
towns to do likewise, M0ckbee said.
He also said Edinburg and other
towns already had subscribed their
quotas" Some Of the towns have
failed to raise the money needed
and as q consequence the Valley
council Is in financial straits"
