RY law violations and

tion of the federal prisons at the rate
of one every 08 minutes, according to
statistics Issued by the Department of
Justice. Between June 30, 1929, and
April 1, 1930, the number of federal
prisoners both in federal penal insti
tutions and loeal jails, mounted from
10.349 to 25,626, an increase of 6.277
in nine months,
Approximately 75 per cent of the
increase, according to the Department
of Justice estimates, was due to con:

Attorney General Mitchell has filed
in the Supreme court a brief, to be
used when the case of James E. Farrer
of Boston is reached, which is
signed to bring a decigion as to
whether the liquor buyer is equally
gulity with the seller. The Federal
District court for Massachusetts held
that the purchase of liquor from a
bootlegger was not “prohibited by the
Volstead act” and dismissed the in-
dietment against Farrer. The attor-
ney general argues that the. failure
of congress to specify that purchases
from a bootlegger should be an of-

courts as meaning that congress did

Nitrogen as Fertilizer
Fine in Apple Orchards

fertilizer for apple orchards, at least
for the first 100 years. A crop of 160
bushels to the acre, he
away from the soil 3.2 pounds of phos
phorus, while an acre of soll to the
depth of four feet 21.000

but the available supply in the aver.

Basing his conclusions on experi
ments in progress for 2 years, 'rofes-
gor Potter recommended the use of
only nitrogen carrying fertilizers for
orchards. Complete fertilizers may
have some value, he thinks, in stimu.

chard for mulching purposes, but ex-
periments in New Hampshire indicate
that such a method of producing a

The only fertilizer treatments in the

of the trees not given nitrogen was

Many Farmers Kept From
Growing Coveted Spuds
There are many farmers who are
kept from growing potatoes because
they do not have the facilities with
which to spray them, since the general
recommepdation is that potato sprays
to be effective against leaf hopper, to
which tip burn, leaf roll, and other
similar troubles are traced, must car
ry a pressure of at least 150 pounds,
On many farms it is impossible to get
enough water. On others the potatoes
are some distance from the buildings,
necessitating the hauling of heavy sup-
plies of water and machinery. And
still on others the soil is too rough
to hau! a sprayer around with any de-
gree of satisfaction.
