Experts Plan Aid for Drought Area Seek Methods of Providing Water and Feed for Cat- tle in Dry Seasons. Wilmington, Del.—The use of dyna- mite is pointed to as a practical means of helping farmers to help themselves in obtaining relief from the effects of the prolonged drought of the summer months. By the proper and prompt use of the explosive, feed for cattle and water for farm animals can be made available, according to agricultural authorities who are sur- veying the situation in many states in- cluded in the severe drought area. One of the measures being advo- cated by county agricultural agents and others engaged in helping farm- ers in the construction of trench silos to be filled with ensilage made from corn, the growth of which was retard- ed by the extreme heat and lack of rain and other available farm ma- terials. The trench silo consists of a trench excavated in the earth and covered when filled with cut straw or chaff and surmounted with a roof composed of poles with a 2-foot covering of straw. In some cases woven wire is stretched between beams to add strength to the straw roof. Water for Live Stock. Water holes or earth tanks are be- ing looked to as the only possible way for farmers in many localities to pro- vide water for dairy herds, beef cat- tle, hogs, sheep and horses. These res- ervoirs are being hastily constructed to catch the run-off of such rain as may fall or to store the flow of a spring, or that of a small stream. It is realized that wells which have gone dry may remain so for an indefinite period. In view of the fact that, to be of the greatest benefit, the salvaging of feed materials in the form of ensilage and the accumulating of a supply of water must be done quickly, dynamite has been resorted to for excavation purposes. To assist in obtaining the necessary relief, the Du Pont agricultural exten- sion section has put the services of its corps of explosives experts at the disposal of county agricultural agents, agricultural colleges and county and state agricultural authorities to dem- onstrate the use of dynamite in the construction of trench silos for feed storage and the excavation of water holes for the conservation of water for farm live stock. With a view of facilitating the work and reducing the cost, special meth- ods of blasting, using a low-cost farm explosive, have been developed for use in breaking hard, dry ground to per- mit its quick and easy removal by means of teams and slip scrapers in the constriction of trench silos. Also, a recently developed ditching dyna- mite has been made available for the blasting of water holes which, mostly, may be excavated with the dynamite alone. Trench Silos Valuable. As a result of study of reports from the field, Larry F. Livingston, head of the Du Pont agricultural forces, is of the opinion that trench silos should be especially valuable to farmers in many localities of Michigan, Wiscon- sin, Texas, Louisiana, Illinois, Okla- homa, Kentucky, Arkansas, Nebraska, Missouri and Kansas. The University of Missouri is among those urging farmers to avail themselves of the use of these silos in the present feed emergency. Besides the Missouri col- lege of agriculture, others which have issued bulletins or circulars on trench silos include the Colorado State col- lege of agriculture, the North Dakota agricultural college and the Univer- sity of Minnesota. At a silo meeting held at Colorado Springs, Colo., it was agreed that the trench silo leads the field from the standpoint of economy in construction and operation.

GREEK BLUEBEARD ACCUSED OF DEATH OF SEVEN WIVES Wiped Them Out After Spending Dowery; Caught With Pros- pective Eighth, Athens.—The “Dragon of Hamelo,” Peter Kulaxides, a Greek refugee from Pontus, accused of murdering his seven wives after spending their dow- jes, was arrested while at a tete a-tete dinner with a beautiful young widow whom he had enticed, under a false name, to be his eighth wife. His arrest was effected one day before his new marriage. Evidence against the “Dragon” exists only as regards his last wife who was found about a month ago in an abri of the old Macedonian trenches, in a state of decomposition, but bearing signs of brutal violence, On the discovery of the body Ku- laxides fled. This aroused the sus- picion of the police who, after investi- gating his past, found that he had married seven times and that all his wives, with the exception of the last, had been reported by him as having died “in the country.” To the judge who made the first inquiries, Peter admitted he killed his last wife because she was ‘“unfaith- ful” to him, but dodged all accusation for the death of his other wives. Re- garding his first wife, Peter said that she died “of joy” on hearing of his release from a prison term. It is expected that the ‘Dragon's trial before the Criminal court of Sa- lonica will be sensational.

The witness was Sir Simon van der Aa, a Dutchman whose British title was conferred in recognition of his services as secretary of the interna- tional prison congress in London, 1925. He told of the case, which he said occurred in Italy at the end of the Eighteenth century. and in which the executioner aided the “executed” prisoner in order not to lose his job after he had bungled. “It seems peculiar,” Sir Simon sald “but it has been the case. The man was hanged, but not in a direct way. When the executioner came to take him off, he found the prisoner had lost his senses, but was alive. The executioner gave him money so that he might escape. The man hecame a servant at a hospital and three years later, in an excess of fury, he killed a patient.” 5 Sir Simon, who is a member of the International Prison committee and who is an opponent of capital punish- ment, said the last execution for murder in Holland took place in 1860, ten years before capital punishment was formally abolished. “A great impression was made on the public mind by one particular oc- currence,” Sir Simon said, “It was a murder committed by a man who had witnessed an execution only two days before.” Boy Kills Girl, but Fails to End Own Life Berlin.—A boy of nineteen arraigned before the Berlin courts for killing his eighteen-year-old fiancee, tried to commit suicide in three ways with- in the space of an hour.

Night Air Mail Bags to Be Guarded From Fire A fireproof mail bag, perfected after years of experiment, will soon be placed into use on the night air mail from New York to Chicago, ac- cording to an announcement of the Post Office department. It is believed the new pouch will eliminate any loss through fire of mail that is carried by the air route. The fire- proof bag, which is 100 per cent as- bestos throughout, will be slightly larger than the pouch now in use and will be equipped with a triple closing device which will prevent flames penetrating the bag through its neck. Steel rivets will be a fea- ture of the construction, and the bag will weigh about 15 pounds. Might Smell Them Pines to Be Planted in Reforestation Plan Open fields at Camp Lee, near Pe- tersburg, Va., where thousands of men received their training during the World war, will be covered with- in the next year with between 35,000 and 50,000 yearling “lob-lolly” pines as a part of a reforestation program set by H. M. Sears, supervisor of Natural Bridge national forest, of which Lee military forest is a unit. The pine seedlings have been set out in nursery beds in the forest, and work of replanting them will prob- ably be started next spring. This type of pine is particularly noted for its rapid growth and ability com- pletely to reforest denuded areas in five or ten years. It is also capable of being used for saw or pulp wood purposes within from 40 to 45 years. Blinks—Too bad jokes are not like | | Record That Somehow eggs. Jinks—I don’t get you.
