During that time they we're to
run down hundreds of futile clews

Body Found 70 Days Later
The cruelest blow of all was to
fall on the seventy third day-May
12-for then the child's body was
found in shallow grave in the
Sourland mountains within sight of
the Lindbergh home.
The Lindberghs felt certain at
first that their son was safe. They
Immediately promised to pay the
$4,000 ransom demanded. They

They published their sons diet
and asked those who held him to
follow it closely.
Disturbed by failure of the kid
napers to contact him and fearing
that it might be because of the law
enforcement officials and reporters
that surrounded his home. Col.
Lindbergh finally announced the
appointment of official intermedi-

Those appointed were Salvatore
Spitale and Irving Bitz, New York
underworld figures. They achieved
nothing.
Jafsie Enters Picture
On March 8, an elderly and re-
spected educator of New York's
Bronx, DR.. John F. (Jafsie) Con-
don, gave an interview to the
Bronx Home News. In it he offered
to act as an intermediary.
Surprisingly enough, his offer was
accepted almost Immediately. Four
hours after the interview appeared
in print a letter was posted to him

Lindbergh Became Convinced
Lindbergh was convinced of the
authenticity of the note to Condor
and eventually "Jafsie" turned $50
600 over to the purported kidnaper
In st. Raymond's cemetery.
In return he received a. receipt
Tor the money and false instruc-
lions as to where young Lindbergh
could be found.
DR.. Condor, however, he'd the full
confidence of Col. Lindbergh and
JatSie was the chief states witness
at the trial which ordered the axecu-
ton OF Bruno Richard Hauptmann
for the kidnapping and murder of
Lindbergh's son.
William Allen, a Negro truck
driver, was the person who acct
dentally stumbled upon the haby's
body. He saw what he thought was
child's leg sticking out from
clump of leaves and earth. Physi-
clans decided a fractured skull
caused baby Lindbergh's death.

better grades of beef cattle was reach
ed In June and that prices will
strengthen during the remainder of
the summer and fall.
But receipts of drought cattle in
some markets, together with seasonal
factors, will undoubtedly cause a con-
tlnued decline in prices of the lower
grades of butcher cattle"
A wide spread between prices of
common and choice slaughter lambs is
expected during the remainder of this
year. The price of feeder lambs prob
ably will be lower in relation to good
slaughter lambs than a year earlier.
Butter prices will be affected by
drought conditions, but seven if the
drought is broken in the near future,
it seems probable that prices during
the last half of 1886 will average
much higher than in the correspond
ing period of 1885, and probably the
highest since $780,"
Similar prospects are seen for
prices of cheese. Lower prices for
chickens were forecast, but higher
prices for eggs A slow market for

of the year appears likely, says the

Refrigeration In
Shipments Brings
Apple Prices Up

Washington, Sept. 15.-Apple grow
ers of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
section, who export heavily to Eng
land, should get better returns from
their summer and early fall crop if
the fruit is shipped under refrigera-
ton.
This is particularly true in Septem-
Der, says the Bureau Of Plant Indus
try, U. S. Department Of Agriculture,
when exceedingly warm outside tenn
peratures are likely to bring about de-
cay in fruit in transit in unrefri-
gerated cars or steamship stowage.
In experiments carried out by the
bureau it was found that refrigera-
ton reduced temperatures to Is
degrees in the upper layers and %
to SO degrees in the bottom layers
while the fruit was in rail transit
from the loading point to Jersey City
Further tests revealed that fruit
from refrigerated cars placed in or
binary unrefrigerated stowage of
about IS degrees Fahrenheit lost all
effects of the rail refrigeration in two
to three days.
On the other hand, when apples
were refrigerated aboard ship the
fruit was kept at a temperature of 80
to 80 degrees cooler which retarded
softening and decay. Apples from the
shenandoah Cumberland section
shipped under refrigeration arrived in
foreign ports practically free from
decay and in the best marketable con-
dition.

INSECTS INCREASE
LOSSBY DROUGHT
Pests Have Swarmed Over
Many Sections During
Growing Seasons

Unusual midsummer activity of i'm
portant crop insects followed the
widespread hot, dry weather, accord
ing to the Bureau of Entomology and
Plant Quarantine, u S. Department
of Agriculture. Conditions were ideal
for grasshoppers and chinch bugs,
which cleaned up many fields of grain
and forage crops that survived the
drought.
The heavy grasshopper infestation,
known all along to be inevitable be-
cause of the enormous number of eggs
laid last fall, fully met expectations.
Conditions were exactly right for egg
hatching and continued right for hop
per growth. Grasshoppers were par
ticularly destructive last month in
Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, Mis-
souri, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, and
Oklahoma.
July weather accelerated chinch
bug migration from small grains and
grasses into corn. Scattered damage
from this bug is reported from most
of its range, especially in northeast
ern Ohio, in the western tier or two
of Indiana counties from Lake to
Greene, in central Illinois, in west
central Wisconsin, and throughout the
southern half of Iowa.
Two varieties of cricket--Mormon
and coulee, both general feeders
have swarmed over parts of the
Northwest. In spite of control meas
ures that completely wiped out many
bands, Norman cricket infestations in
Idaho and Nevada are alarmingly
large. Montana also has enormous
numbers of this cricket and Utah,
Wyoming, Colorado, and Oregon have
smaller infestations. Coulee crickets
are usually numerous in Washington.
Blister beetles which consume
truck and garden crops, grasses,
shrubs, and flowers-have been gen.
orally destructive in Maryland west
ward to North Dakota and Kansas,
notably in areas overrun by grass
hoppers in the last few years, AL
though the adults do much damage to
vegetation, the larvae feed on grass

in reducing hopper infestations for
next year.

Payments On
Soil Program
To Be Public

Washington, Sept. 15-The Agricul-
tural Adjustment Administration to-
day announced rules and regulations
for the County Agricultural Conser-
walton Associations under the Agri-
cultural Conservation Program which
included provisions for the making
public Of payments to producers, the
base acreages of individual producers,
productivity induces, and county as
ISOLATION expenses.
The data with regard to payments
are to be made available for public
inspection either at the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration or in the
offices of the County Agricultural
Conservation Associations. The pay
ments will not be made public until
at least 80 days after they have been
received by producers.
The County Agricultural Ccnserva-
ton Associations are composed for
farmers who are participating in the
Agricultural Conservation Program in
their respective counties.
Under the new program, only one
payment will be made to a producer
during the course of a year" H. r.
Tolley, administrator of the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Administration
said. Under the old commodity pro
grams, several payments were made
during the year. By combining the
payments into one, the work incident
to make public information on pay
ments will be greatly reduced.
I'VE feel that the interval Of sc
days before data on payments under
the new program will be made public
will, at least, to some extent, prevent
attempts to exploit those receiving
these payments"
