Release for Hessian fly strike leader Farnell at Winnipeg prison
A telegram to FE Robinson from Tom Moore says the under secretary of state ordered Farnell's release from jail at once. Farnell has served about six months of a nine month term for seditious alliances, with three months cut. The move follows labor leaders' quiet efforts amid worries for his wife and newborn baby. Ontario reports show Hessian fly damage to wheat across several counties, with Norfolk noting 40 to 30 percent losses in fields. Barley heads, oats yield well, spring wheat weak, and hay remains due to wet weather, delaying hay curing.
