RANDALL, SR., OF BARNARD, GETS 16T0 18 YEARS HARD LABOR Defense Submits To Second Degree Murder It appears at this writing that the court week will be taken up this term with two murder cases. Judge War lick is presiding and the work of the court is being dispatched with as much speed as practical. It was seen that only two of the three murder cases on docket could be reached this week, hence the Jack Rice case was again conltinued. The three boys charged with the murder of William Thomas of the Guntertown section were brought Monday from the Ashe ville jail and a guard placed around the Marshall jail for their stay here. A special venire of IOC men was call ed for the hearing of this case, sup posed to be called Thursday morning. Meanwhile a jury was selected from another special venire to hear the case of State vs J. W. Randall, Sr., for the murder of George Plemraons of Barnard Dec. 24, 1934. Most of the day Tuesday was consumed in the selection of the jury, the testimony beginning about 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Tuesday afternoon, the following witnesses were heard: Dr. W. A. Sams, Sheriff Guy English, Mrs. George Plemmons and Mr. Foster. Mr. Calvin R. Edney is ably defending Randall while the state has to assist Solicitor Nettles, James Ba ley, Coleman Ramsey, and Guy V. Roberts. The jury in this case is composed of the following: After the above was in type, the defense submitted to second degree murder, which was accepted by the state.

POULTRY GROWERS MAY REDUCE FERTILIZER COSTS Poultry growers may use chicken manure in home-mixed fertilizers to materially reduce the cost of crop fer tilization, says R. E. L. Greene, assis tant in farm management research at State College. The manure is rich in organic mat ter, he says, but is not a complete fertilizer; consequently, it should not be applied without the other ingre dients necessary to supply the proper plant food. Dr. H. B. Mann, agronomist at the college, has recommended a mixture including chicken manure, which Greene is passing on to the growers as follows; A ratio of 1,100 pounds of chicken manure, 600 pounds of acid phos phate, 200 pounds of nitrate of soda, and 100 pounds of potash. The mixture will cost approximate ly $12 a ton, Greene points out, while commercial fertilizer of the same analysis will cost around $25 a ton. 'This mixture, of course, is not suitable for all crops or all types of soil, but the county agents or the fertilizer specialists at State College will be glad to furnish sample formu las to growers who wish them, he says. Greene cited the case of a farmer who applied the mixture at the rate of 350 pounds to the acre on a crop of corn and secured a yield of 40 bushels per acre. The farmer had intended to apply a side dressing of 75 pounds of sulphate of ammonia, but was prevented by the excessive rains. The same mixture was used on ensilage corn and a yield of 10 tons of ensilage per acre was secured. This fertilizer is mixed like any other home mixture, Greene says. However, he warns that the manure must be kept dry until ready for use. He suggests that the manure be clean ed off the dropping boards only when it is dry and that it be placed in sacks and stored in a dry place. The fertilizer can be mixed at the time of application.

In this long process the great mirror will be made to test its grinding by means of light twice re flected from its surface. The complex testing process, de scribed by Dr. John A. Anderson, ex ecutive officer of the observatory committee in charge of building what will become the world's most far see ing astronomical observatory, will! produce a mirror accurate to within one-millionth of an inch a precision so great as to defy the imagination Dr. Anderson explains the process as follows: To grind a huge telescope mirror, scientists must know at all times the exact shape of the surface as it changes under the grinding machine. And the best way to find out what the surface of a mirror is like to throw a beam of light on it, let it re flect back, and then observe the im age. This image tells what has been done and what is yet to be accomplish- ;But the beam of light must consist of what scientists call "parallel rays coining from an infinite source." .iuch rays can be produced by man in s only one way the reflection of or inary artificial light from the con vj . surface of a mirror technically flcn own. as '"a paraboloid of revolu- nop, fi Dairy cattle fed on good hay usu ally live longer and have fewer di gestive disorders than those fed spar ingly on hay and heavily on grain, says John A. Arey, extension dairy man at State College. Hay is a natural food for cattle, he says, and tones up the system while providing nutrients at a lower cost per unit than those supplied by other feeds. Good home-grown hay should be made the basis of every dairy ration, Arey recommends. To insure an adequate supply of hay thoughout the year, he suggests that dairymen cultivate crops which grow in both the summer and the winter months. Year-round cropping will also re duce the danger of the entire year's supply being cut short by a drouth during any one season. Fulghum oats sown this month and cut when the grain is in the milk The annual Madison county higK school basketball tournament ended last Saturday night on the Walnu high school court, when the Spring Creek girls took a one-sided victory from the Walnut sextette by the score of 49-17.

This is the 3rd consecutive year that the Spring Creek sextette has earned the cup. This gives Spring Creek permanent possession of it. Th final game of the tournament was? played by the Beech Glen boys and Walnut boys. This proved to be a "rubber" game, especially during the first half, the score at the intermix sion being at a deadlock, 8-8. In the third quarter Walnut started aa offensive and at the end of the quar ter had run the score to 15-8 which seemed to put the game on ice. The fourth quarter started with Beech.
