DELAW ARE RANKS HIGH IN
TOMATO PRODUCTION

University of Delaware
Delaware grows more tomatoes
per square mile than any other
state OF the union. According to
the Agriculture Statistics OF the
United States Department OF A&-
riculturc. the farmers OF Delaware
grew an average OF H. 500 acres OF
processing tomatoes annually Tor
the ten-year period. 1892 to 1871.
Converting the yield from this acre
age to tons of tomatoes per square
mile. we find that Delaware pro-
duced POL tons in contrast To -
tons for Indiana. its closest com

war the acreage in Delaware has
increased by approximately 20 per
cent; thus. at the present time,
Delaware is annually producing
about % tons OF tomatoes per
square mile.
Good management practices are
essential in Delaware because OF

Ribbentrop Denies
War Crimes Charges
lin Opening Defense
BY the Associated Press

NUREMBERG, Mar. 26.-Joachim
Won Ribbentrop told the Interna-
tional Military Tribunal today he
accepted full responsibility for his
acts as Foreign Minister OF Ger
many, but was pleading innocent
on all counts of the war crimes in
dictment.
The gaunt, silver-haired Nazi fol-
lowed the example of Hermann
Goering and Rudolf Hess in open
ing his personal defense.
The court ruled out defense evi-
dence intended to prove that the
versailles treaty was unjust and was
signed by Germany under duress." ("
Sir David Maxwell Fyfe, British
prosecutor, said the defense claim
was completely remote, irrelevant
and beyond the terms of the tri-
bunal's charter"
Defense Launches Attack.
Defense attorneys had launched a
f1ve-point attack on the treaty and
the prosecutions charge that the
Nazis conspired to break the treaty
with the aim Of waging aggressive
war.
DR.. Alfred Seidl, counsel for Hess,
touched of long, involved wrangle
when he sought to introduce ex-
cerpts from speeches and writings
of scores of foreign statesmen, econ
omists and journalists which he
contended showed Germany had
justification and considerable sup
port abroad for violating the treaty
Seidl sought to introduce as evi-
dence quotations from decades old
utterances of such figures as the
late Senator Borah, Republican, of
Idaho; Lord Keynes, the late David
Lloyd George, Robert Lansing, John
Foster Dulles and Gustav Cassel,
Swedish journalist.
Translation work further delayed
today a decision by the tribunal as
to the admissibility of an AFFIDAVIT
offered by Hess which purports to
relate the details of secret prewar
German-Russian treaty dividing
Poland and the Baltics.
Hess counsel told the tribunal he
had handed the document to the
American translators' pool yester-
day. but that it was not ready this
morning.
Justice Robert H. jackson, chief
American prosecutor, was absent be-
cause of bronchial ailment. He
was under treatment at his Nuern-
