At torney Darrow said that the defense admitted the correctness of the facts "substantially as printed in the news papers." Ho asked permission -of the court. 'however, "to offer evidence as to tbe mental conditions of these young men and their degree of responsibility. Tbe defense was willing to submit the question of mentality to a Joint conference of alienists employed by the st"t and the defense, but Itobert Crowe, state's attorney, objected to this, aaylngi Muoh Evldenoe In Hind. "The atata ia In position to show that the boys are not only guilty of ' tbe facta which tbey here admit, but beyond any reasonable doubt, they are sane and fully cognisant of tbe con- sequences of those acts." Judge John H. Caverly agreed with ' the attorneys, therefore, to hear such evidence, both as to facts and mental responsibility aa the two sides might wish to present to him for his com' , plaint. Judge Caverly, realising the grave '.. -responsibility which the sudden turn in the noted case placed upon him, told the attorneys he would not in terfere with as speedy a conclusion of the hearing aa possible. Ten minutes before the hour set for calling of tbe case, emergency police squads were ordered out to handle the throngs that massed before the criminal court building. Clarence Darrow, and Benjamin Bachrach, chief of defense counsel, arrived at the court room In If an hour before the scheduled starting time of the proceedings with a group of relatives and friends of the defen dants.

Nathan Lopid, Sr., lather of ftatnan, and rorman .Leo pold, n brother, were at the counsel table. Tbe court ruled that tbe state should be permitted, regardless of the plea of guilty by the defense, to ore sent evidence designed to prove the mental responsibility of the two souths. Hearing on the point wss set for Wednesday morning. In presenting the defense motion, Attorney Clarence Darrow ixformed the court that tbe only move of the defense would be to present evidence tending to demonstrate "tbe degree of responsibility, and also evidence of irresponsibility and insanity," in the two defendants. "Having presented this vidence," IJnrrow said, ' we will -throw oursel ves on the mercy of the court." At another point Mr. Darrow slid: "The defense fully reallsoa that the defendants should be permanently isolated from society." . Attorney Darrow in behalf of his -motion to chsnge the plea addressed the court as follows: . Darrow Addresses Court. "Your honor: Mr. Bachrach and myself and all of those riscerned in this case, defence are fully aware of the responsibilities involved. "Tbe case has attracted an unusual mount of attention and the theory baa been advanced that the defence wishes to restore the defendants to society. "I wish to say frank'y to the court that we never havo entertained such ' an idea, "We are of the opinion that these two young men should be permanently isolated and it never was our inten tion to attempt to restore them to freedom." "We must consider In this case, the standpoint of tbe public who are rightfully interested in the proceed ings. It would necessarily take a great deal of time to choose a Jury eeperislly at this hot season of the year. We have considered a change of venue from this county. , ' "It seems plain that It would he difficult to have fair trial here be cause of the Intense feeling aroused by the crime, but in my practice of 37 . years as a lawyer in C'Jilragn, I have asked but one change of renuc and that was at I lie advice of rry client and against my own convictions. Moreover, the facta in this rass are as s ell known outside of Cook county end outside of Illinois as they are in Chicago, "It ia our Intention merely to see that these two defendants are .ifely Incarcerated for the rent of their Uvea," Darrow said. Therefore, I move to withdraw th plea of not guilty and to enter pleas of guilty for both defendants." : 8tate's Attorney 8peaks. The statement of Wale's Attorney Robert E. Cowe sfter the morning's proceedings ft Hows: "There waa nothing left for Loch sod Leopold to do but plead guilty. The proof was so overwhelming that no jury could return any verdict ex cept one of guilty. "The crime waa ao cold-blooded, premeditated enfi atrocious that no jury could name any other punish ment.

Irrigation highly feasible - in the Willam ette valley for such crops as corn, potatoes, truck crops, and certain forage crops which make their growth during the summer months. The Oregon experiment station. t Corvallis. has been carrying on experiments since 1909 which proves this conclusively. ' The average rainfall for the Willamette valley, is from 40 to 45 Inches, and most of this is be tween the first of October and the first of June. Thla Is decid- (ledly advantageous for certain of the hay crops as they can be cured in the early summer with out danger of getting wet, while mo crops tnai grow in the sum mer months suffer for want of moisture. Moisture Needed suppllmentary Irrigation In creases the yield appreciably. The results obtained are - naturally more apparent in a dry season than In a wet season, but for a soven year avornge the Increase from all orops at the station has eon better than 65 per cent. The coarser textured bottom and loamy soils are better suited to irrigation tnan tno heavier soils. The experiments at the station have been carried on "old valley uiung- son oi a rainy fine tex ture. These experiments show that even soils of this texture can be Irrigated to advantage. - Some Exceptions This does nob mean that Irriga tion is the proper remedy for the heavier types of soils where drainage is necessary, the station has found. Irrigation although these soils are dry .in the sum mer, will not take the place of drainage. Crop rotation and the keeping up of organic matter Is absolutely necessary where Irrigation Is prac ticed, growers have learned. Since irrigation often makes it possible to grow two different crops in one season it "Is practical. A large number of rotations can be used to. advantage.
