Two Murder Trials Open September Term In Putnam County
Special to the Indianapolis Journal Greencastle Ind June 21 The second trial of Charles Hampton of Coatesville for the alleged murder of Willis Haynes of North Salem at Coatesville last year will feature the September term. Hampton is held in Danville and will remain here for the trial. Change of venue to Putnam County was expected by officers as Marion County often receives cases moved from Hendricks. Another murder trial is anticipated in the same term over the killing of Mrs Henry Seward a Fern farmer wife. The coroner has pursued the case steadily with substantial circumstantial evidence but not enough to name a suspect without new facts. the situation resembles the Hinshaw case in evidentiary character.

Country Gentleman notes track farms in the East use heavy fertilizer per acre but many crops, especially truck crops, need different nutrient balance. It argues wheat yields decline, tomatoes and cucumbers require high nitrogen and potash, with top dressings of nitrate of soda and German potash salts to sustain growth.
Timber-Walnut Planting as Future Wealth and Land Use

Pruning Trees For Health And Yield Says E B Jones
E B Jones argues against trimming trees high to the head height which leaves bare trunks exposed to insects and sun. He suggests low branching reduces dangers and promotes faster growth and fruit. Regular clipping of ends and removing crossing twigs shapes the tree with minimal effort when done at the right time. Pruning should not be neglected.
