PAIR TO QUESTION
MURDER SUSPECT
Baker Case Clues Practically
Exhausted-LateSt Not
Taken Seriously.

Two members of the detective bu-
reaus homicide squad, Clarence Talley
and Charles Weber, left Washington
shortly before noon today to question q
prisoner in the jail at Warrenton, Va,
who is reported to have intimated that
he knew something about the Staying
of Mary Baker.
The man was arrested in Manassas
for passing three alleged worthless
checks in Remington, Va, and is said
to have attempted suicide after men
tioning the Baker case. Inspector Will
liam S. Shelby, chief of detectives, puts
little credence in the report.
According to information from War
renton, the prisoner does not answer
the description of the man seen strug-
Cling with Miss Baker in her car near
Seventeenth and B streets few hours
before she was murdered. Omcials IN
Fauouier County. who questioned him,
also are convinced that he had no
connection with the crime.
A vague statement made by the man
at the time of his arrest aroused the
suspicion Of the Fauquier authorities.
Simultaneous with the issuance OF
the order to Detectives Talley and
Weber to 60 to Warrenton, Inspector
Shelby sent several other members OF
the homicide squad to check up on the
movements OF an ltlneranL pdlIlIcr, WIN
is said to have boosted that he knew
Mary Baker. The painter is reported to
have left home Saturday night, telling
his wife he was going away in quest OF
work and would write her when he got
settled
Aside from these two investigations
the search for Miss Bakers slayer Is at
a virtual standstill.
Inspector Shelby revealed that since
the investigation of the Baker case had
slowed down, he has devoted consider
able time TO the preparation OF re-
port comparing crime conditions in
Washington with those in other cities
for the first three months of 1890. He
predicted that it will throw some in
teresting sidelights" on conditions In
Washington.
Inspector Shelby said Washington
was absolutely free of murders in
March, but in April six persons were
killed, exclusive of Miss Baker, whose
death will not be credited to the crime
statistics until it Is definitely deter
mined where she was killed. Five OF
the six persons killed in April were
colored, the sixth being Prohibition
Agent Lamar w. York.
All six of these murders have been
solved Inspector Shelby pointed out,
and arrests made in five cases. The
police, he said, know who committed
the sixth crime, but have been unable
to locate the murderer.

Assistant Secretary Dunlop Dis
eusses "overgrowth From World
War" in Address at Luncheon.

Overproduction, which tends to make
the supply of farm products greater
than the demand, was held as leading
factor In the lack OF prosperity Of the
farmer, in an address by Assistant Sec
rotary OF Agriculture Dunlap, at q
luncheon of the Washington Round
Table in the University Club yesterday.
In turn, overproduction was declared
to be an outgrOWth OF the World War

produce as much as they could.
The speaker said the sterilization OF
prices Of farm products is necessary,
saying the middleman's profits should
be reduced, pointing out that some In

SENATOR wALcoTT POPULAR
Newspaper Men Remembered With
 Cards and Presents

In the hurry and rush of preparing for the holiday in the Capital City, Senator Frederic c. Waleott did not forget his newspaper friends with whom he tilts every day in the course of legislative matters, and several of the scribes who cover the Senate and who are personal friends of the Sen ator had reason to remember the Sen ator when they looked into the Christ mas sock on the morning of the twenty-fifth.
 A personal card bearing a holiday greeting and best wishes of the sea- son, accompanied by a gift from the Senator, was the share. of those writ CTS who have enjoyed personal rela- tions with MT. Walcott since he came to Washington.
 Although he has been in the Capital only A few months, Senator Walcott has become one of the most popular members of the Senate, and many friends of former Senator George r. Mclean have been content and hap py to transfer their admiration to the present Junior Senator from Conn ecticut.
 Mir. Walcott is not endeavoring to rush blindly into legislative affairs, but displays a willingness to listen and learn from old leaders, and this attitude has done much to place him in the position formerly occupied by the widely-popular Senator Mclean.

Runaway Sleeps Out
 Ready to go Back Home
Parents Welcome Lad With Open
 Arms at Putnam Police Station

Joseph Woodhouse, 14, didn't like his home city of Worcester. He start ed out to see the world. He came as far as Putnam and spent the night in the unroefed building being erect ed by Charles Seder at the corner of Main and Pomfret streets. A night in the semi-open changed his youthful outlook and Saturday morning he thought he would like to go back to the o'd home and three square meals a day.
 In the meantime the bcy's disap- pearance had been reported to the Worcester police. Putnam was one of the cities notified to be on the look out for the lad Saturday morning Joseph hung about he railroad station and confided in bus driver that he had run away and would like to get to Worcester. The police were noti- fled and the boy was taken to the police station.
 Captain Dubreuil notified the Wor- cester authorities that Joseph was in custody and within a few hours his father and mother. Mir. and Mrs. liar " Woodhouse, arrived and received their offspring with open arms. The trio set out for home. The parents were so relieved that no harm had be- fallen the runaway that doubtless he escaped punishment.

cure gross sales of S3 or more. There were twenty-twO of these fifty-five farms which for every $l labor cost had gross sales below $3. Of these twenty-two farms there were seven teen, or 77ee, which had labor in- comes below $1,000. There were thirty-three of these fifty-five farms which for every S1 labor cost had over $3 gross sales. On these thirty three farms there were six farms, or IScs which had incomes below s l,O0O
 To some extent. improved labor ef- ficiency is a result of diversification of the business. For example, by com pairing these two groups Of dairy farms it was found that for every $1 labor cost the diversified farms sold S3.56 worth of products, as compared with S234 worth of products on the specialized farms. In other words, on the average, the thirty-eight diversir fled farms sold s1.22 more than the seventeen specialized farms for each Sl labor cost.
 Improved labor efficiency, to a large extent. is a result of better equipment, good size units, efficient working methods. kinds of farming which distribute the labor fairly well through the year. and good planning and handling of labor.
 The remedy for poor efficiency is one of two things: cutting down labor expense, or enlarging the farm busi- ness. In most cases it has been diff cult to cut the labor cost, while the solution on most farms has been that of adding more business without in- ereasing labor costs. The number of men now on the farms is often the number that was necessary to do the work few years ago. Increased use cf machinery and other means have increased the productivity of each man so as to create the excess of labor. As a rule. however, the excess is not great enough to make it pos sible to dispense with one man with cut making a labor shortage. Men can not be dropped in fractions. but busi- ness can be added in small amounts SO as to bring about the profitable balance between the labor supply and the work to de done.
 The principle objective of this ar- ticle has been to set simple standard that will enable dairy farmers in Connecticut to check their labor ef- ficiency, and my belief is that if a farmer is conscious of an inefiiciency it will set him hunting for the causes. From the figures cited, it is essential for a dairy farmer to secure, for every $1 of labor cost, gross sales of at least s3; and the standard we have set should be attained, i. c. s3.50 worth of sales for every s1 labor cost.

trouble with abortion in the past three years. While few calves have been lost, there have in no case been more than would naturally be expect ed as a result of accident.
 On the other hand, the herds which buy have in many cases lost heavily, regardless of whether the number of cows bought is high or low. The herds which contain only one purchased COW have had as much trouble as those in which all are bought.
 This, by the way, is equally true in Hartford County. 1t raises the ques- ton of whether the mar who wants to keep his barns free from disease should not adopt a policy of never buying a cow, but raising enough to be sure that purchasing will not be necessary.
 udder trouble or garget is more common than abortion, thirty-eight percent of the herds reporting some difficulty in the past year. Exactly the same comparisons are true in garget as in abortion. Hartford County has about fifty percent more trouble The herds that buy no cows are practically free from any serious difficulty, but buying now and then an animal is just as bad as buying many or all.
 Windham County dairymen, gain, apparently. in another minor way from their comparative freedom from disease. In the County only seventeen percent of the cows in the herds were sold for discards or died. In Hartford County twenty-three percent were so disposed of. As a consequence, Windham County dairymen sold nine percent of their cows as milkers at the better prices milking cows bring. while in Hartford County only four percent were sold in that way.
 These facts raise two questions foreibly. The first is, should not Wind ham County dairymen, for their own business good. decide that they indi- vidually will raise enough stock sc that they will do no buying? If they

Factors That Affect Income on Dairy
 Farms Labor Efficiency

Connecticut dairy farmers are us- ing more hours of labor to do many kinds of work than in competing re- gions Many farmers realize this fact and pass it by with the statement 'This is no fault of Connecticut farm CTS but it is accounted for by Conn ecticut's hills and rocks and small til- liable felds". The large number of hours used on many of our farm op- erations is accounted for, in part, by the physical structure of our farms, but not entirely. For example, the average Connecticut dairy farmer is using about twenty more hours than the Wisconsin or Minnesota farmer to nut an acre of corn in the silo. It is evident to anyone familiar with both Midwestern and Connecticut prac- tices that our physical factors in- crease the cost of producing corn in Connecticut. but when an acre of corn has been raised and cut, and the only remaining jobs are to load, haul and put into the silo, Connecticut farm CTS can do this as efficiently as Minn- esota or Wisconsin farmers The fact is that large number of our Conn ceticut farmers are using more hours of labor in performing various oper- ations than is necessary.
 Labor efficiency is one of the most acute managerial problems that the Connecticut farmer faces. It is challenge to the resourcefulness of our farmers in devising ways and means of accomplishing results with less labor. The farmer gets paid for what he produces, not the number of hours that he works. Farming is piece work and every gain that he makes in producing more per hour or per year represents business and finan- eial gain.
 We have found from studies of hundreds of financial records on dairy farms in Connecticut for the past ten years that farms with good earnings usually have good labor efficiency. The simplest way to measure labor efficiency is to compare total receipts from the farm business with total labor costs. Uncluded in total labor costs are: Gal cash paid for labor; (b) value of board. farm products. and rent furnished labor; Gel value of family labor; and (d) value of operators labor and we have used s1 .000 which represents the value of farm hand wages.) The following figures secured from fifty-five whole sale dairy farms last year will illus trate the relation of labor efficiency to income:

Safety First in Buying Chicks


 Why take a chance when you can play safe7 This applies to every walk in life. but in no case to a greater ex- tent than when buying day-old chicks. Before purchasing, there is a world of opportunity for looking up stock of good breeding which will give you high egg production, large sized eggs, and large-sized birds of reasonable standard qualities. to say nothing of freedom from bacillary white diarrhoea or Pullcrum disease. Freedom from disease is after all of greatest importance, for of what val ue is the breeding of a flock of chicks if they do not live?
 After purchasing. the die is cast, and the result may be satisfaction CT regret-depending upon the wisdom of the choice. The difference of a few cents per chicken frequently looks like 8 possibility for real sav- ing at the beginning of the breeding season. but it is usually false eccn- omy, as real value will be returned many times over during the pro- duetive life of flock of good chick ems.
 Possible losses due to the presence of B. W. D. in the flock are not con fined to chick mortality alone. as many of the survivors may be stunt ed in growth because of the presence of the disease and make an unpro- fitable laying flock at best. Even though the supply of Accredited chicks is increasing tremendously each year, the wise buyer will make an early decision and place his order while he has a choice of fiocks and choice of shipping dates as well. Dur ing the three years period of the Grow Healthy chicks program, near ly a million chicks from B. W. D. accredited focks have shown a total disease mortality from matching to maturity of only about 7ed-where- as the chicks from flocks of unknown standing during the same period have averaged twice that mortality.
 Do net misunderstand this sug- gestion and conclude that quality can be found only by travelling afar, as just the reverse is usually true. Ere quently q neighbor or someone in an and can supply your needs easier and more cheaply than anyone else--if you can only become acquainted. In this respect your County Agent or County Farm Bureau organization can be of untold value, as the Farm Bureau has the information and is in- terested in your success.
 Obtain the facts. make your deeis- ion, and place your order. It is also time to make definite management plans which will carry out the es- sentials of the Grow Healthy Chicks Campaign program and produce uniform lot of bullets which will go into the laying houses ready for year of real work Information in this article from data by Roy F.
