to the soil testing laboratory in
Pullman for analysis.
4. In taking samples, a record
should be taken of the area
from which each sample is taken.
A small sketch map of the farm
showing where the samples were
taken from is helpful in applying
the results.
The agent points out that the
analysts at Pullman who make
the study of the soils do not
know local conditions and that
the more information that is CIV

the better.

Unity Freemon-Mitford, Friend
OfHitIer, Dies at Scottish Home
33-Yeur-OId Blond
Called Ideal Nordic
Type by Fuehrer
BY the Assoeioted Press

OBAN, Scotland, May 3l.-Unity
Freeman Milford, 80, center of a
storm of speculation at the begin
ming tof the war because of her
friendship with Adolf Hitler, died
Saturday night.
Miss Freeman-Mitford, daughter
of Baron Redesdale, became i'll a few
days ago at the home of her parents
on the island of Inchkenneth. A
friend of the family said her death
was believed to have been caused by
meningitis.
In Germany, near Hitler's Berch-
tesgaden retreat at the beginning of
the war, she was seriously wounded
by a. pistol shot in the head under
circumstances never publicly ex-
planned
She was unconscious three weeks
in Munich hospital. Top German
physicians attended her, and on
Christmas Eve. 1899. Hitler arranged
to send her home. On his orders an
ambulance train took her to a
French Channel port and the Brit
ish government allowed her to join
her family.
Recovered Speedily.
In England she recovered speedily
from her wound.
Her English friends said it was
an accident. In Germany it was
known that she had seen Hitler on
several occasions in those tense days
Immediately preceding the German
attack on Poland and the British
declaration of war on Germany. She
had been guest at his retreat in
the Bavarian Alps.
Miss Freeman Milford first went
to Germany in 1885, when she was
20, to attend a Nazi summer festi-
val She was accompanied by her
sister, Diana, who later married Sir
Oswald Mosley. pre-war British
Fascist leader. Unity was quoted m
Germany at the time as saying she
was a woman Fascist" and she
praised the Reichschancellor.
Friends said her friendship with
Hitler resulted from common artistic
interests. She approved Hitler's
support of the theater. his efforts
to paint and his love of music. In
Hitlers circle at the time it was aid
that the Fuehrer spoke of the young
English visitor as an ideal Nordic
type"
Was Blond, Blue Eyed.
Blond, blue-eyed and unsophisti-
Gated in manner, she was a non-
smoker and n-drinker.
She met Hitler at Munich beer

garden, and became his friend. She
met and apparently won the ap-
proval of other top-ranking Nazis.
An exception was Rudolf Hess,
deputy fuehrer, who apparently was
irritated by the English girl. Hess
was reported to have remarked
at banquet on one occasion that
he hoped someone would throw
her out"
Unity's adventures in Germany
often presented difficult problems
to the British Foreign Office. In
June, 1888, she protested to the
British consulate in Czechoslovakia,
charging that Czech police sub
jected her to indignities as she
was touring the Sudeten region
with a member of the German
Reichstag. She said she had been
stripped by a woman detective and
that a bottle of perfume was con-
flscated.
Wore Swastika Badge.
In those days she wore a SWas-
tika badge, designed for her on
Hitlers orders
Although she recovered quickly
from her bullet wound, Miss Free
man Milford found her movements
in England greatly circumscribed.
There were questions in Parlia-
ment as to whether she would be
arrested because of her recent
hostile associations. But the gov
ernment did not detain her. Because
of her German experiences and her
relationship to Mosley. however, she
was not permitted to go to her
parents home in Inchkenneth
Island, which was a restricted zone.
The ban was lifted in 1945 and
she had lived there quietly since
