During the past week, the corpora- tion shipped five carloads of choice dairy cattle to North Dakota com- munities, scattering them over the length and breadth of the state and bringing the total of animals placed in two months well over 1,000. Most of the 200 local committees, organi- zed from county agents, bankers, merchants and farmers on the ground, are located in North Dakota, but Minnesota, South Dakota and Montana are well represented. Last Week Is Biggest “Last week was the biggest week in the corporation’s campaign for deve- lopment of diversified farming and dairying,” declared M. O. Grangaard, vice president in charge of the pur- chase, distribution and financing of | the cattle. “Our operations thus far have been merely a good start; now the diversification program is (in full swing and will go ahead with steadily increasing momentum and scope. The animals we have purchased and plac- ed on Northwest farms are of the best. Some of them already have taken prizes at cattle shows. The corporation’s funds, aided by the lo- eal advisory committee and a staff of skilled buyers, have planted the nuclei of fine dairy herds on hun- dreds of farms impoverished for years by one-crop methods of farm- ing.” Sheep Program Under Way The program of placing sheep on Northwest farms, as the next move to develop mixed agriculture, got under way definitely Saturday. according to Mr. Grangaard. Organization of a ! sheep purchasing department by the corporation’s executive staff is vir- tually completed, he said. This new work will be financed, in addition to ; the cattle purchases made thus far, from the first $1,000,000 set aside by the corporation in April for its diver- sified farming campaign, “We are perfecting our arrange- ments to purchase sheep on a big scale, between September 1 and Octo- ber 15,” said Mr. Grangaard. “Appli- cations for sheep and for loans to purchase them are pouring in at corporation headquarters. Must Apply By August 15. “But farmers who want to get sheep from the corporation must file their applications by August 15. Our {purchasing department must know! how many sheep to buy not later than that date. The situation is this: we plan to buy the sheep ip the mountains and foothills of Montan: where sheep breeding has been su: cessful for generations and whe we can buy to best advantage, The: sheep are rounded up by their own- ers between September 1 and October 15 of each year, for sorting; classify- ing and general cleaning up of the flocks. That is the only time that buyers can purchase sheep on the| ground and make it imperative that the corporation have at least twa] | Weeks time to arrange the purchases.” THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE [mama] LEOPOLD, LOEB UNEXPECTEDLY ADMIT GUILT Plans to Stand Trial Are Abandoned by Boys and Their Several Attorneys ENTER FORMAL PLEAS Hearing to be Held for the Degree of Punishment for The Boys Is Given CELLS GUARDED Chicago, July 21.—Late this ssigned to the cells of Leopold and Richard Loeb.to preclude an attempt at suicide. ‘ “Extra guards will be statiog- ed at their cells night and day,” jathan he said. Chicago, July 21.—(By the A. P.)—The fate of Nathan Leopold Jr. and Richard Loeb, indicted for the murder of 14- year-old Robert Franks, was rested today “in the’mercy of the court.” The net result from a plea of “guilty” made today in court by Clarence F. Darrow, chief counse) for the boys, and affirmed by them, “after they had been duly warned” by the court of the consequences of this plea.” In entering the-plea’ of guilty, Attorney Darrow said that the de- fense admitted the correctness of the facts, “substantially as printed in the newspapers.” He asked permission of the ecurt, however, “to offer evidence as to the mental condition of the young men and their degree of re- sponsibility.” The defense was willing to sub- mit the question of mentality to a joint conference of alienists em- ployed by the state and defense but Robert Crowe, states attorney, cbjected to this, saying’ “The state is in position to show that these boys are not only guilty of the facts which they here admit, but beyond any reasonable doubt they are sane and fully appreciate the consequence of their act.” To Have Hearing The degree of punishment, which may vary from_ indeterminate prison sentence, life sentence in the penitentiary, incarceration in an asylum or death, will be deter- mined after a hearing which is to start Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. Judge to Hear Facts Judge John R. Caverly agreed with the attorneys to hear such evidence both as to facts and men- tal responsibility, as the two sides might wish to present him for his information. Judge Caverly, realizing the grave responsibility which the sud- den turn in the notorious case placed upon him, told the attorneys he would let nothing interfere with as speedy a conclusion of the hear- ing as possible. The youthful defendants, only slightly wan from their incarcer- ation in jail, greeted their attor- neys with smiles as they entered court and calmly affirmed the plea entered in their behalf by Mr. Dar- row. Both Answer Leopold was called first to the bar of the court and was asked this question: “Knowing that the court may sentence you to death, to imprison- ment for life or a term of years, do ycu still desire to plead guilty?” “Yes, sir,” was the response. The same question was asked of Loeb and the answer'was identical. Both boys were neatly clad, freshly shaven and and wore cor- rectly fashioned bow ties. Aside from their first greeting to the counsel and their initial glances about the crowded space before the bench, they. gave little evidence cf curiosity in the pra- ceedings. Both sat quietly guards who brought court. .
