Upon the developement of this Question, legal experts say, will hinge whether they shall hang or go to the penitentiary. First steps in arriving at a solution; of ' the question will be token tomorrow when the1 youths, who yesterday 4 pleaded guilty; will appear i n court ror a hearing preliminary to their formal sentences. V Admission of. the crime by the two sons of Chicago millionaires " before 'Jridge ' Johr R. ? Caverly , wiped out the possibility of & plea " of insanity, at least until sentence ' baa been fixed. The defense asked permission to present evidence in mitigaiton-'of -Vunishnent based upon the youth of the defendants and their "degree of mental respon sibility." Attorpeys agreed how ever that if mental responsibility is linked in this case with the ques tion of "moral turpitude," ; it will be the first such instance in the history of Illinois courts. '.' , ;; ' Clarence S. Darrow and Benja min Bacbrach, attorneys : for the defense, were non-committal in their discussion of this phase of the case. s' .: "We can go as far as we like in the presentation of insanity evi dence and we probably will," Mr. Darrow said. V Robert E. Crowe, State's attor ney, however, has declared bej will not agree to the presentation of any evidence tending to show - the boys insane, except before a" jury Ue"ipent today in seclusion, busied witn last minute preparation of the statement whicn he expects jto open proceedings tomorrow. He expects to finish his statement dur- ing the morning session and -;pei. hans will start Drcsentintf oral tes- (imony before' adjournment - for uncheon. The court room where will be decided the punishment to be met ed out for one of the most startling and pensational crimes in Chicago's h' :ory, was given over today to c -enters and wire men who were i -y installing ' benches, : telegraph culls and seats for one of the Z t a( emblages of writers in o history of local courts.'

The ground hog must have come out a second time early in June,, resulting in all of this rainy weather. According to over one hundred, special crop notes reports received, cove ing the first half of July, the exces sive rainfall is general all over the state. Western counties, nave naa least. untavoraDie con ditions- - The soil is wet, result ing in grassy crops and general inability to carry on cultivation Hand labor; by hce work .has been much more than usual and very expensive. The farmers are justly greatly discouraged. The cotton and tobacco out looks are anything but favorable They are still-. complaining of poor lab3r low prices of farm products and high prices of goods bought. Tobacco plants are un even in,, growth more than in stands.' Crop stands in genera) vary from poor to good. ; Labor is reported as Sorry and scarce from all parts of the state . ! Several mention that no labor is available except from farm families During recent; travel over the state it was quite com mon to see children, mostly girls, as young as eight years old, hoeing in the fields. Small boys were seen plowing. Some of the general ; remarks were '.'Need of sunshine;." "poor out- much rain." ; 1 . . . V,. The tobacca outlook, is quite variable, it being a fair, balance between poor and good as shown by the 51 such remarks. Most of the damage, seems to be by rain. '.While the color is good, the, quality will be 1 light and variable. . . .The texture will naturally be affected, as well as the weight. ; Continued wet weather after July 15th will more seriously lower the out look.;. ;;. ;V' ' : . The corn outlook is perhaps the best of 'any crop. This is due to its being a grass plant. The hest jields are to be found on uplands for many bottom lands have been flooded. Wheat may not turn but as good as was expected, due to the bad weath er during harvesting : conditions. Both wheat and bats are report ed as sprouting- in ;the. fields, while similar reports note that these crops are rotting, due to too much rain. Decreased acre age this year i generally recog nized. - The fruit outlook .is good, in spite of adverse winter condi tions and spring lateness, follow ed by a long period . of wet weather. The quality of peach es is good in size but poor in flavor and keeping qualities. The evidence of curculio . and plant disease is less, than might be expected.

The children wrink led their browi, looked perplexed and some of them answered the question. But they were all wide of the mark . J : ' The teacher indicated the ane wers were wrong as each pupil made his or her supreme effort to find the correct answer to the knot ty problem. Finally the .teacher, when they were all expectant . and very much excited over what really was the best thing in this commun ity, told them that they themselves were the best and most valuable. It was somewhat of a jolt for little folks, especially those with a keen imagination, who had conjur ed "uh many wonderful things. The teacher's answer brought them bact to earth; but it gave; them a sense of their importance in tht world. ; ' .- ' It Bhould also give every person livinst in the community, regard&ss of whether they have children in the public tchools, something to think about," when we think along Ones of community developement.

If sold as corn on the farm at , LOO per bushel there is a profit of 30 cents per, busnel, or $12,00 per acre. Whfin this eorn is DroDerlv bud- p'emented ' with' balancing feeds and fed to bogs; the hogs sold at .25 per 100 pounds, delivered at the farm, and the cost of the, sup plemental feeds then deducted, the returns for corn will be about $1.30 per bushel. The jprofit per bushel is thereby doubled, and the plant food value of about 15 cents per bushel, will remain on the farm, thus paying handsomely t for the trouble of selling the corn in this wav. ' 1 - . When fed to hogs we have a per acre Drofit of $2100 and a return per hour for human labor devoted to Droducinir the corn of slightly pver $1.00 or $10.00 per ten-hour day.

The State Fair is living up to its slogaa "It Shows North Carolina," according to General Manager E. V. Walborn, w h o states that seventy-three counties participated 'n the premiums offerings last year which is six more counties than in 1922 ' ' ' ' , When Mrs. Edith Vanderbilt took over the reins four years ago she determined to make it a State fair in deed as well as in name, and she has set the goal this , year for representation b y one hundred ' counties. It is to be one hundred per cent a State fair, with every county taking part. , ;.' " Twenty-two thousand dollars is offered in premiums, which is di vided so as to bring out a wide va riety of exhibits as well as the best exhibits. It is divided, too, so that all sections of the State have a chance to participate in the prize money if worth while exhibits are furnished. : Exhibitors from, the seventy- Y three counties last year have ' been invited to repeat; but the invita-. lions will not "stop here. Frovis-, ion is being made to take' care of, the others expected to . take part from the remaining twenty-seven counties. While showing the State what it can "produce and manufacture, the State Fair aims this year to give special emphasis to t h e many opportunities for development that txist.' .Eiuentional exhibits will e.;. one of the big' features this year.
