He was liberated yesterday by a ruling of Federal Judge J. Foster |Symes, who directed a federal court jury to return a verdict of not guilty. Judge Symes ruled that the govern- ment had not proved that a murder jhad been committed, Not knowing what it was all about, May had to be pushed out of the courtroom by one of his attorneys, appointed by the court. Through witnesses, the government brought out the story of how May was caught between two conflicting vs—the law of the white man and the mandate of the medicine man. Pneumonia May Have Caused Death Testimony showed that he wrap- ped the live baby in the burial blanket of its dead mother, allowed them to lie on the Ute camp ground through- out a Febru: ight, and buried them the nex’ na shallow grave jay —all under the orders of Mormon Joe, med man and father-in- law. Dr. 8. Johnson, near ition, testified the baby was suffering from pneumonia and that the disease may have caused its death. The defense based its con- tention upon that point and won @ directed verdict. Mormon Joe, who beat a fellow prisoner of death while being held in jail at Cortez, Colo., as an accessory to the charge, is serving a term of from 25 to 30 years in prison for the killing. Ag.

"| HANEY TELLS METHODS USED | IN DEVELOPING NEW VARIETY OF CORN-MINNESOTA NO. 13 Advises Farmers How to Prevare Ground for Corn—Early By J. G. Han Agricultural Exten- tion Department, International Har- vester C e past, few sat the called i “Minnesota 1 ted t deal of attention Min-| 13 has proved to be much lier than the standard Min tat [a is supposed to be. It has also! stood up well in all the variety te: sts | ‘because of the fact that it is a pure j strain of corn and has grown! jas such since it eloped by innesate t Station As the {source of this seed has ‘been at our! | Demonstration Farms, the editor of! ithis paper has asked us to briefly, Joutline our procedure in, developing |this’strain or variety of Minnesota, I No. 13. Corn Essential ‘Yo Our Farms | Our demonstration far deen, South Dakota, and Grand Forks, orth Dakota, were established in the fall of 1912." In traveling over the teritory in this region at that time, the fact that there was very little corn grown and also taat so much of it seemed very poorly adapted to this North country, led us to believe jthat one of the things which we should give first attention would be | the development of a better variety ‘or strain of corn for this region. | There had been some experimental work done by the stations but at that) time corn was not considered of ver) During the fall) we spent a good! ferent varieties of corn, We secur- ed in all something over twenty v ieties which were planted and close observed. One of the most promising of these was a ten-ear sample of Minnesota 13 corn which had been! grown by Mr. L, A. Thorpe of M ville, North Dakota, Mr. Thorpe at that’ time was one of the most cn-! corn growers in the Red River Valle; This sample of corn) had taken first prize at the Corn and Clover Show at Grand Forks in 1911. In order to give these ears of corn a fair try-out, we planted thgm in about the center of a field of Min- nesota 13. The seed for this was s cured on another farm in the } River ley. These ears were each) planted in a row by themselves as far! as they would go, in this field. Inj the fall they were husked out sepa ately and weighed up. The surp ing fact was that some of these ears yielded al twice as _ much identically the same when they were planted. From the four or five best yielding ears, we selected all of the best ears for seed purposes and from among these we picked out enough best ears to plant a small seed corn, patch the following year. We did not follow up the -to-row test, which might have been a good thing to do. In the fall as soon as the corn was mature enough for seed, we went through this seed corn patch and carefully selected a bushel or two of the best ears from the most stalks. We were careful to take in consideration all of the factors that go to make a good yielding corn for this region. We have followed this practice of picking the very best ears that we could find and planting them in a seed patch and selecting the best ears for another seed corn patch the next year, every year since the beginning of our work with this var- iety of corn. This means, of course, that we have practically a new strain of corn each year. Minnesota 13 Suited Us Best For a number of years we also grew several other varieties but ow- ing to the fact that this Minnesota 13 seemed to give us ‘better satisfac- tion as to earliness and yield, we dropped all others, ‘and for the last five or six years have grown only this one variety of corn on our farms. While this strain of Minnesota 13 is now considerably smaller than the original Minnesota 13, or the Minne- sota 13 that is now being grown in Southern Minnesota, it has acquired the ability to mature in much less time and afso seems to be able to stand a much lower temperature dur- ing the summer. Last year, 1924, was rather a poor corn year, but we had sent seed from our Grand Forks Farm to the Aber- deen, South Dakota, Farm, and the Grand Forks ceed ecemed to mature at Aber-| deal of time in investigating the dif-| ripe corn as other ears that looked | i | \ | Planting and Frequent Cultivation Are Urged— | Every Farmer Should Grow Some Corn | ier and show a better q than the ume strain of corn t had! {been grown on the Aberdeen Karn. for three or four years. From the| Grand Forks seo t to Aberdeen, | j We selected a sa Vtook first at the A also took first ut the Huron or State Comm Show of South Dakota, As stated previously, this corn is somewhat smailer than the Minnesota {1% grown farther South, but it is large enough to compete favorati with other varieties when matur and other factors are taken into co sideration ! Se ion Most Promising of Results| I might state further that 1 have been connected with the Experiment Station and watched results of cra breeding and importation of var ties of different crops, and I | personally come to the conclusion that there is more to be gained by careful selection from standard var- lieties which are already acclimated to a certain extent, than there is in | any other w ‘The trouble we found ‘with Northwestern Dent and such | cross-bred varieties, was that we} ‘could not establish a permanent type of this corn, it was continually break- ing up and reverting to one or the other of the parents. | We might state that our selection of this corn during the past few | years h 1 little mor refully | done than owing to the | fact that we find the ‘depth of grain | desteasing to some extent. This, we believe, will be true of all varities of corn grow ‘orth country and eful selection in ord- er to maintain the depth of grain. Our first intimation that this var- liety of corn was attention came about seven when we were taken to ti y a member of the staff of one of “he large seed j companies, for our stating in our corn books and articles, that the best -' seed corn for any region is the seed |that has been grown there and cure- {fully selected until it has become | acclimated, ‘They asked us for our | authority for this statement.
