AT CONSERVATION MEET Department of Agriculture Has Sent Men Broadcast Into the World to Glean Information on How to Make the "Land More Productive—Third Day’s Proceedings of the Big Gath ering at St. Paul. St. Paul, Sept. 7.—The programme for the third day’s session of the Na tional Conservation congress con tained a long list of speakers, includ- ing Secretary of Agriculture Wilson and James J. Hill. , The speakers and the topics of discussion follow: “Rational Taxation of Resources,” Dr. Franklin L. McVey, president of the University of North Dakota, Grand Forks. General discussion led by John B. White of Kansas City, Mo., chair- man executive committee, National Conservation congress. “The Interests of the Railways of the South in Conservation,” W. W. Finley, president Southern Railway company. “Laws That Should Be Passed,” Hon. Frank G. Newlands, United States senator from Nevada. General discussion led by Murdo McKenzie of Trinidad, Colo, “Making Our People Count,” Dr. Ed- win Boone Craighead, president Tur- lane university, New Orleans. “The Press and the People,” A. Aus- tin Latshaw, Kansas City Star, Kan- sas City, Mo. “Women’s Influence in National Questions,” Mrs. Emmons Crocker of Massachusetts, chairman conservation department, General Federation of ‘Women'’s Clubs. “The Farmer and the Nation,” Wal- tet H. Page, editor World’s Work and member of the country life commis- sion. “Farm Conservation,” Hon. James ‘Wilson, secretary of agriculture. “Cattle, Food and Leather,” Hon. Jonathan P. Dolliver, United States senator from Iowa. General discus- sion led by Hon. Frederick C. Stevens, representative in congress from Min- nesota. “Conservation and Country Life,” Professor Liberty Hyde Bailey, dean of state agricultural college, Cornell university, New York. “Soils, Crops and Clothing,” James J. Hill, St. Paul. General discussion led by Henry Wallace, editor Wal- lace’s Farmer, Des Moines, Ia. Secretary Wilson’s Speech. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson spoke on “Farm Conservation.” He said: The most important feature of farm conservation is the soil. The farmer prospers while the soil responds to his work and yields good crops; he ceases to do well when the soil refuses to re- spond to his labor. The people of the older nations take care of soil fertility as a matter of prime necessity and long ago ascer- tained the proper succession of crops, their relation to the soil and the feed- ing of men and animals. They knew the soil must be fed and the proper physical conditions to maintain and learned from experience how to do it. During the short history of our coun- try we have had new soils to draw upon when exhaustion resulted from the robbing process, and much of the nation’s prosperity is the equivalent of what the soil has lost. Our people have been well fed, and until recently they have been cheaply fed. This has been due in part no doubt to the oc- cupancy of land easily obtainable as soon as the older refused to yield abundantly and is one of the prime causes of farm desertions that are now attracting so much attention. The federal government is expend- ing large sums to irrigate more land, which is wise, but the amount of wa- ter impounded is small compared with the volume that flows to waste. In a recent visit to the Mountain states I saw that the most advanced localities are every year making more reservoirs to hold winter and spring flows of wa- ters that go free of man’s restraint to the ocean. The nation, the state and private enterprises have ample fields in which to work toward greater crop production in this direction. Search for New Data. The department of agriculture, in obedience to congressional require- ment, is exploring similar lands that exist under similar conditions through- out the old world. ' Some success i being had. A wheat from Africa and Asia gives us 60,000,000 bushels a year from the high lying light rainfall states; a grass and alfalfa from Tur- kestan, alfalfas, clovers and vetches from Siberia, oats from Northern Sweden, millets from the Orient, sor- ghum from Africa, are samples of what are being found by our explorers that thrive on our highlands of the West. At thirteen stations in seven states we have parties of scientists studying methods of plant management on our dry lands. If our growth in population 1s to continue we must look to the soil and conserve ‘moisture, which is the transportation 'system of the plant. We furnish nitrogenous mill feeds to thrifty foreigners who know thei1 value to feed their cattle to make meats and dairy products and keep up the fertility of their soils. These¢ should be fed on the farms that grow the grain from which they are made Neéw lands are not to be had for the asking in the thirty inch rainfall dis triots of the country. If we are tc prosper as a people we must give close attention to our soils and conserve their fertility by all the means in om power. : Increasing Crop Volume. _ Bowething 15 being done to increase SECRETARY WILSON. Cabinet Officer Gives Advice to the Tillers of the Soil. —_— the Volume of our crops in all sections of our country. The cattle fever tick of the South has prevented the prof itable production of beef in that sec tion of our country. Congress has pro- vided for the extermination of the pest,” which is being dome; 140,000 square miles is now free from it. This will bring into active production with- in a few years all of the Southern states. Pastures will be prepared, the prime element in a system of rotation of crops; cottonseed meal will be fed where it is produced, and Southern fields will became much more produc tive, helping to feed our growing pop: ulation, while more cotton will be grown on fewer acres. The advent of the cotton boll weevil called for prompt federal action to help Southern farmers to deal® with this invasion from Central America. Scientists were called upon to make research and conduct demonstrations of well known methods on many thou: sand farms. One of the most interest- ing was the growing of an acre of corn by each of 12,500 boys under six- teen years of age. The result- was very gratifying, over 150 bushels being grown on an acre by some of the boys. The Southern states grew the largest corn crop in their history. Upon this foundation steps were promptly taken to breed hogs extensively so that the people might produce their meats. The grazing lands of the public do- main are being steadily reduced to un- productiveness by overstocking, which results in reduced production of meate and animal products. While public lands are held for the homesteader, it is difficult to suggest a remedy that would not interfere with the policy of ultimate settlement by the homeseek- er. The tendency of congress to give larger areas to the settler seems to be in the right direction. FIVE NEGROES ARE LYNCHED Said to Have Planned Wholesale Mur- der and Robbery. Athens, Ga., Sept. 7.—An uncon- firmed report has been received that five negroes were lynched near Carl. ton. It is said that the negroes planned to murder the family of J. W. Ruft of Bakey, a painter, and that a daughter of Mr. Ruff discovered a ne- gro in her room. Citizens pursued the negroes and seven suffered wounds before the negroes were dispatched. Mr. Ruff’s daughter, according to reports, aroused her father, who de- tained the negro that had entered the house until neighbors could be sum- moned by telephone. It is said the negro confessed that he and four oth- ers planned to rob.the house, assault the women, kill the occupants and then burn the dwelling. The four other negroes were later surrounded. They resisted arrest with | firearms and were shot down. James R. Keene Improving. Lexington, Ky., Sept. 7.—James R. Keene, the New York horseman and financier, who has beenseriously ill at the Good Samaritan hospital here. is reported to be much improved. The physicians are of the opinion that the most immediate danger has been passed. Eight Hurt at Coney Island. New York, Sept. 7.—The “double whirl” at Coney Island broke an axle and collapsed. Eight persons were seriously injured and two others pain- fully hurt. Nobody was killed. There was a panic on the grounds when the sound of rending iron was heard, but the disorder never grew beyond con- trél. The Postage Stamp. Consider the postage stamp. It says nothing regarding the difficulty of the task assigned.to it, but by dint of close application it usually gets there; also it dellvers the goods. 2 Again, If one isn't enough to carry the thing through, two or more by working barmoniously together see the thing to a finish. No matter if the (mail) matter be weighty, it puts a good face (of Wash- ivgton) on it and goes directly to the point. It gets licked and stamped upon, and men besmirch its fair fea- tures and ofttimes give it more to carry than the (postal) union allows. But, ‘in spite of all this, it sticks un- fiinchingly to the matter In hand by virtue of the fact that it knows that it has good backing. e Its stick-to-it-ivity is worthy of em- ulation by you.—Judge's Library.

POISON IN BODY FOUND Large Quantities Discovered Iin Re- mains of Woman Buried in Cellar of Dentist’'s Home—Charge Against Miss Leneve Will Be Confined to Ac- cusation of Accessory After the Fact. London, Sept. 7.—At the opening ot the trial of Dr. Hawley H. Crippen, who is charged with the murder of his wife, Belle Elmore, the prosecution an- nounced that large quantities of poison had been found in the body of the wo- man found in the cellar of Crippen’s home and that there were evidences that she had been subjected to an operation, In a written statement made to Inm- spector Dew when the investigation first opened Crippen said Belle was living in the protection of another man when he married her in Jersey City. The doctor also spoke of Bruce Miller’s alleged acquaintance with his wife while he was in America and fre- quent threats which Belle had made to quit him and go with another man who occupied a better position in life. Crippen’s statement concluded with a story of the quarrel on the night of Jan. 381, after Paul Mortinetti and Mrs. Martinetti, who had spent the evening with the Crippens, had left the house. During the quarrel the doc- tor said that his wife threatened to leave him on the following day. On returning from business on Feb. 1 Crippen said he found that his wife had gone. He took steps to prevent a scandal and fabricated the story of her trip to California and her death there. Ethel Clare Leneve, the doctor’s typist, who accompanied him in his flight to Canada after the disappear- ance of his wife, and who has been held on the same charge, also was brought to the bar, but the crown stated that it had been decided to con- fine the allegations against the girl to being an accessory after the fact. Girl Not Implicated in Murder. This relieves Miss Leneve of any fore knowledge of the crime and is in line with the belief of her family and friends that she did not share Crip- pen’s confidence up to the time that his wife dropped out of sight and was said by him to have died in California Interest in the Crippen case, which was intense during the search for the doctor, has by no means worn out, as was shown by the crowd which gath- ered in the vicinity of the Bow street police court when: the trial was be- sun. ey Travers Humphreys appeared for the public prosecutor’s office, while Solicitor Arbbur Newton represented Crippen. Mr. Humphreys -made a long open: ing address, in which he reviewed the case from the time that suspicion was | aroused against the husband by the unsatisfactory explanation which he offered for the disappearance of his actress-wife to his return to London. In the course of his remarks the prosecutor definitely stated that the physicians who made the post mortem examination of the mutilated parts un- earthed in the cellar of the Crippen home had discovered the presence of large quantities of hyoscin, a colorless liquid poison, and also detected evi- dence that an operation had been per- formed. . Counsel did not suspect the want of money as the motive for the crime, but did say that the disappearance of Belle was a fortunate thing for Crip- pen from a monetary view point. On Jan. 20 the accused had pawned jew- elry for which he received $400, and on another day pawned other jewels, receiving $575. All of the property pawned had been recognized as the property of Mrs. Crippen. GRAIN AND PROV|SI(7N PRICES Minneapolis Wheat.

He stated that his belief in the necessity for a new reciprocity treaty with the United States has been greatly strengthened by the weight of repre- sentations from the farmers’ delega- tions which were laid before him and that the elevator terminal systems at the lake ports controlled by Chicago and Twin City interests will be changed.
