Heavyweight Held
On Charges Of
Fixing Fight

NEW YORK, lR - clarence
Henry, 27-year-old former heavy
weight contender, was ordered
held on $4,000 bail Saturday
after arraignment on charges of
trying to elk" Fridays fight at
Madison Square Garden.
Henry appeared before Magis-
trate Thomas Cullen to answer
charges that he offered $4,000
bride to middleweight Bobby
Jones Of Oakland, Calf, to throw
his fight to Joey Giardello of
Philadelphia.
The Negro heavyweight, once
rated No. 3 in his division, was
arrested Friday after Jones had
told authorities he had been twice
approached with bride offers.
Henry steadfastly denied the
charge.
The alleged attempt to bribe
Jones, an underdog in the Giar-
dello fight, provided one Of the
most bizarre cases in New York
ring history.
While experts scratched their
heads, wondering why Henry
would try to fix the 81 underdog,
the former title contender assert
ed his innocence.
"This is all mistake" he said.
II went to see Bobby because /
always see him when we're in
town. We're friends. They had to
get somebody and | was the
chosen party"
He did not say who ''they' were.
Just about everyone involved in
the case was annoyed at someone
with the possible exception Of
Jones, fair fighter, but regarded
as no match for the rugged Giar-
dello.
District Attorney Frank Hogan
was irked because the story was
broken before he was ready to
move in. He said he had intended
to try to round up the "whole
mob" just before the fight.
For his part, GiardeIlo said he
fought to be insulted"
"A guy who would want to pay
Jones to throw the fight can't be
thinking much of me as a fighter"
he added. "The way | feel about
it, Jones is in for a beating with
out taking any bribes.'
Before Henry made the $4,000
offer, Jones had received two
other offers, each for $4,000 from
strangers-one last Saturday and
the other last Tuesday.

HOME TESTING FOR SEED TERMINATION
By Richard T. Blue

Now is the time to plan for spring planting. One important bit of information needed is the germination percentage of the seeds to be planted. If germina- ton is low, then we will have to plant more seed to get good stand.
 If we buy seed from a dealer, then this information is printed on the tag. If we plant local grown seeds, we will have to run test to check germination. This test can be run at home very easily. A few paper towels or pieces of cloth and a pint jar are all we need for equipment.
 To run the test, get an average sample of the seeds to be plant ed. Count out 100 seeds. Soak the towel in water. Space the seeds on the center of the towel so each row of seeds is separated by pa- per-you should end up with flattened cylinder about 1 inch wide. Now fold the ends over to keep the seeds from falling out.
 Put about one-half inch of water in a pint jar or can and stand the folded towel on end in the jar. The paper acts as a wick and keeps the seeds moist. Let stand 45 days and count the sprouted seeds. If 90 sprout, your germination is 90%o. If 30 sprout it is 80%. If your percentage is below 80To, then increase the seed rating approximately.
 You should be able to run one half dozen tests at once in about one half hours time.

CONSERVATION
 NOTES
By Lew Hanks

The supervisors of the Palmer Soil Conservation district checked the ballots cast at the Sub-district election. Robert T. Nichols and Robert w. Anderson were elected to the position of supervisor. The out going super visorS are Bob Webb and Clair Patten. We wish to thank them for their help in the advance ment of conservation work in the Valley.
 l received an interesting state ment on the performance of the wood chipper owned by the Pal mer Sub-district. Bob Nichols tells me that one cord of poles makes about cord and one half of chips. The chips have a great CT abSorptive power than the same volume of sawdust. He checked this by seeing how much water bucket of sawdust and a bucket of chips would dry up. He also said that where small trees were available he could cut and chip a load of bedding ma terial at much less time and cost than he could load and haul the same amount of sawdust.
 It is about time to start fertil- lZing brOme hay. and pasture fields. It is either get it on now while fields are still frozen or wait until late in May when they dry out. To fertilize after your fields are dry enough to get over without cutting them up is usual
 ly not good. The top is dry then. It may be July before the rains really put the fertilizer to work. That means half a season of growth is lost. That is not good.
