JU. A CALF and A CROP Have the Same Idea on the Food Question Why is a growing calf like a growing crop? Answer: Because the food requirements of each are so much the same. Scientists are making this point clearer every day through their research into the importance of vitamins in animal diet and the need of impurities in the food of plants. These vital impurities are the all - important t thing in fertilizing today. They are the rarer elements ? boron, iodine, magnesium, potassium, calcium, lithium, strontium and many others. With them your crops produce as Nature intended them to. Chilean Natural Nitrate contains these rarer elements in Nature's own balance and proportion. Chilean's quick-acting nitrogen, plus its vital impurities, make it the safe, sure fertilizer for your crops. See your dealer for Chilean Natural Nitrate. Two kinds? , Champion (granu la ted), Old Style (crystals). They are both genuine. Both are natural. And hot h give your crops the vital impurities.

Demented Youth Slays Parents; i Austin, Tex., April 25.?A desire to obtain $17,000 insurance money und an unexplained craving for re- ! /enge had driyen Howaixf Pi arson to slay his distinguished parents, Associate Justice Williann A. Pierson of the Texas supreme court apd Mrs. Pierson, officers said tonight.". Sheriff Ix>e Allen said the 20-yearold former college student did not amplify the mere statements of the insurance and revenge motives. The alleged confession was drawn from the youth during an all-night grilling after he had reported to police his parents had been shot by highwaymen, who also had "wounded him. Young Pierson had revealed his slaying plans to a friend, Sheriff Allen said he had learned. The youth did not name his friend but merely said he had told 'him he was going to kill his father, one of the state's most distinguished jurists, for his insurance. Dr. Joe Wooten, Austin physician, said he believed the boy was suffering from dementia praecox and an hallucination ihis parents bad dis- ' criminated against him. Pierson told newspaper men mere- , ly that he had "a reason" for shooting his graying mother and father on a country road about 15 miles from Austin late yesterday. He said he had lured them there on the pretext of viewing a scenic drive. His father, 04, had been associate justice 14 years. j The district attorney, James P. Halt, said he had not made up his mind as to the motive. The possibility appeared that young Pierson might be sent to a state hospital for mental observation. i Rare Violin Missing 83 Years, Found Ivos Angeles.
