~ (SCOR PROPERTY in Effect Unless Allen Fights It Rev. 8. J. Allen and seceding mem- bers. of the Carson Presbyterian church were restrained Thursday by Judge H. L, Berry from using the shurch and property. Although the’ order is only tempo- rary, it remains in effect unless the defending Rev. Allen and his support- ers fight it, in which event a trial will be held. “The law is well setiled in cases: of this kind where ministers and laymen withdraw from an organization and establish a new and independent church organization,” Judge Berry asserted. ‘They are not permitted to take propérty of the old organization with them. “While defendants in their counter- affidavits have undertaken to go into doctrinal phases of the difference be- ert tween the two groups,” the judge ex- Siw plained, “the court feels that has hee NOthing to do with the legal phase of pce’ the: situation.” bei The legal point involved was the ea = claim by plaintiffs, J. W. Evans and pen! = Mrs. Anna Lane, that church prop- vill etty at Carson is the property of the pre denomination known as the Presby- C terian Church of the U. 8, A. and alt the counter of the defendants that ret the church changed its tenets of faith Ar so that it is not now the same de- | & nomination that existed when the Air church was built, Seceding members n claim affiliation with the Presbyterian nai Church of America. «Mrs. John Pfau Heads 5 Wilton Homemakers f Mrs. John Pfau has been elected president of the McCumber Home- makers’ club. at Wilton.

LABORATORIES NOT YETREADY TO TAKE | UP FARMER'S es ‘Test tae te Farming Is Long Way Off, Secretary Wal- A lace Says ‘Washington, Dec. 17.—()—Chances that chemical laboratories might dis- place the farm as producers of food and clothing were termed remote Thursday by Secretary Wallace. “There is no possibility either that Hchemistry will solve all the farmers’ difficulties overnight or that it will do away with the need for farms,” he said in @ report to the president, Wallace explained chemical discov- ery depended on economic as well as technical factors. Corn stalks and straw have value @s livestock feed and f the secretary said, 50 that it has paid the farmer to sell them for industrial processes only when he receives more ¢ | than they are worth as feed. Chemical discovery often as not is §.11/ an “unmixed blessing for the farmer,” Wallace continued, with development of new uses for one product sometimes hurting the market for others. As en example, he said, use of sugar cane residue, or bagasse, for making rayon may diminish the de- mand for cotton. Similarly, he add-. ed, soy beans ol] production may come directly into competition with cotton- seed and other vegetable oils. # DROUTH-RESISTANT WHEAT DEVELOPED Edmonton, Alta., Dec. 17.—()—De- velopment of a drouth-resisting wheat, hardy enough to withstand permanent wilting during a severe heat wave, was announced Thursday by the University of Alberta.

Dr. Aamodt began his experiment only six years ago. “Canus produced a high grade of flour, proved it could thrive on mois- ture insufficient for other strains and displayed a fine root system and abil- ity to germinate in dry soils,” Dr. Neatby said. “It “will prove particularly popular in southwestern Alberta where mois- ture is scarce.
