INCREASED ALFALFA YIELD
BY FIFTY PER CENT

w. T. Elliott, operator of the Ell
lott dairy, reported to us last week
results of fertilization of a part of his
alfalfa field which one of his neigh
bors, after checking it over rather
closely, stated had increased the yield
fifty per cent over the normal Weld
of the field.
Mr.. Elliott runs large herd of
dairy COWS and during a large part of
the winter they are kept in a corral
near the barn. When preparing to fer
tlllze some corn ground this spring he
cleaned up the barn lot by scraping.
the dry manure together with fresno
and then loaded this on to the spread
er with a scrap shovel. The material
was very fine and dry. In fertilizing
the corn ground he also continued on
across the field on to piece of al
falfa and it was here that the large
increase in growth of alfalfa was
shown
1t is our firm conviction that farm
manures are one of the best sources
OF fertilizer and especially was this ap-
parently true on this farm where the
herd is fed considerable quantities of
grain which would have a tendency
to make Of the manure a better bal
anced fertilizer. Wherever manure is
available it should be used first and
commercial fertilizer used merely as
a supplement to the farm fertilizer.

verse witnesses-neverthelesS it es-
tablishes this fact, and it is an undis-
puted fact as the record now stands,
that these Irrigation District commits
sioners sought in compliance with the
Statute to make certain exclusions of
land that fell within the particular
clases first, of land above the ditch,
and second, the lands that were at the
time of hearing on these petitions and
some time prior thereto, obtaining wa
ter from independent sources; then
the lands that were made useless by
reason of seepage; and those lands
lying below the ditch as we look upon
them on the map, but actually with an
altitude above the ditch could not be
irrigated and were not susceptible of
irrigation. Many applications were
filed and many were acted upon.
II suggested this morning that it
appeared to the Court that there were
at least few of those to which it
would seem that the Board had acted
capriciously and arbitrarily. But, upon
listening to argument of counsel from
both sides, and from more mature
elaboration, doubt whether I would
find, upon the record as made now,
that such was the case I am satisfied
that the Judgment exercised by the
Board in the light of the facts they
had before them, in some instances, at
least, would be substantially at vari-
ance with the judgment of this Court

TRUSTEES APPOINTED
TO FINISH APARTMENT
Building Suspended When Rheem
Company Failed to Be
Completed.

Justice Jesse c. Adkins yesterday ap-
pointed Paul E. Lesh, Louis Gutenberg
and c. Clinton James as trustees to
carry out a stipulation in connection
with the completion of the apartment
house at 1417 N street which Frank
Toml;nson was building when the
Swartzell, Rheem g. Hensey Co. failed
last January. Holders of more than
half of the 100000 trust given by
Tomlinson to the brokerage firm before
its bankruptcy have agreed to the ar
rangement to complete the building and
it is expected with the appointment of
the trustees more of the noteholders
will signify their assent
Tomlinson filed a suit against the
noteholders setting forth that while he
had given a trust for 100000, the
SwartZell, Rheem g. Hensey Co. had
only advanced to him S104,000. He
sought to have the noteholders COM
plete the building. Conferences of
counsel brought about a meeting of
noteholderS and the formation of the
stipulation by which the 100000 trust
is to be released and new trust of
100000 placed so that the builder will
have enough to complete the building.
The apartment will then belong to the
noteholderS subject to the new trust of
100000. The trustees will hold the
property in trust for the noteholders
and will manage and conduct the apart
ment when completed until a sale of
the property may be made adyan-
tageouSly.

HOUSTON, Tex, June 27.-A tropi-
cal hurricane, originating north of Pro-
gresso, Yucatan, was reported at 9 am.
today as moving about 100 miles east
of Brownsville, Tex, on a west by
northwest course. The barometer was
falling rapidly in Brownsville and more
slowly in Corpus Christi, Galveston and
Houston.
Apparently the storm is travelling at
very high speed, though it seems to be
OF moderate intensity.
Storm warnings have been posted for
all ships from Brownsville to Corpus
Christi and for small craft along the
entire Texas Coast.
Within the last "a hours, L. H. Dain-
gerfield, Weather Bureau chief, said,
the barometer had fallen 18 of an inch
in Brownsville, .16 in Corpus Christi,
IA in Galveston and IL in Houston.
The normal barcmetric reading on the
Texas Coast is 29.95.
The course the storm now is taking
would point it somewhere between
Brownsville and Corpus Christi, though
the history of tropical hurricanes is
that they usually veer great deal.

CUNNINGHAM GAINS
TIME BY Demurrer
Former Sheriff, Indicted in Ware
Probe, Challenges Validity
of Action.

Thomas W. Cunningham. former
sheriff of Philadelphia, yesterday chal-
lenged before the District of Columbia
Supreme Court the validity of an indict-
ment charging him with contempt Of
the Senate. At the same time he re-
newed bond of 81 900 which he had
given in Pennsylvania for appearance
before the court here.
Cunningham was scheduled to have
been arraigned this morning before
Justice Peyton Gordon on an indict-
ment returned In 1928 after he refused
to answer questions asked by a special
Senate Committee. However, through
his counsel, the former sheriff inter-
posed demurrer which had the effect
of postponing arraignment until 1t has
been argued and disposed Of by the
court.
In the demurrer Cunningham con-
tended the indictment does not allege
any facts showing the questions asked
by the Senate committee were relevant
to its inquiry into the election Of Will
liam S. Ware He further claimed the
questions propounded were not in the
exercise of constitutional function,
and that they unnecessarily impinged
upon the personal affairs of Cunning
ham and invaded the privacies Of his
life.

versity. trace the mental growth Of
mankind.
Smith, leader in the annual con-
vention of National Education Associa-
tion, which opens here Monday dis
cussed the veil Of ignorance cloaking
the causes of illiteracy, and In a series
of nine theses outlined the economic
reasons for lack Of education.
For comparative purposes Smith
classified human relationships in two
major groups: Constructive relation
ships and destructive relationships.
From the time Of mans initial habi-
ration on earth, human relationships
have puzzled educators, he said, and
have become more Of q conundrum
under complex situations.
Smith suggested the perplexing situa-
ton might be remedied through the
evaluation of nineteenth century ma
terialism by twentieth century needs
and ideals. The nineteenth century
philosophy of life, he said, must be
culled for the positive contributions to-
ward human welfare and the remainder
discarded.
A symposium, on the intergration Of
all education will close the councils
sessions tonight. George D. Strayer,
professor of educational administration,
Teachers College, Colurobia University,

schools. Parochial schools will be dis
