Oct, U-rThe nation's first portable electric chatv was given lt? premiere here today as the State or Mississippi exacted the life of a JS yetu-old Negro convicted of slaying ills estranged wife. In remote south gas tent George count y State Executioner Jimmy Thompson of l>i?, Miss., u rank umnteur in his new Job that pays $H>0 for each electrocution. pulled the switch that sent Willie Mae Bragg to hie death. Thompson had struggled for "hours during the night detaching the bulky wood and metal dhatr from a large truck, which houses It atul the kubo Hue engine that generates the lethal current, and placing It In a Jail cell. Inquisitive townspeople,! Including many children who sat In the chair before the execution, slowed his work. The portable chair, costing 14.000, had to be built to order because no Mississippi county was willing to accept the chair. Many doubted the apparatus would work, but It performed without-a hitch, the mot Or racing U> a whine as 2.300 | volts coursed .bite Negro's body. "1 say to others, ptniy and do right." were the last words of the Negro after asking the executioner not to cause him "much misery." While this latest technique for exacting the 'death penalty was being used, the anclemt hangman's noose claimed the life of another NegTO at Prentiss, where Hilton Fortenberry's execution was carried out under the watch of guns of 36 National Guardsmen. Gov04'nor Paul B. Johnson ordered tthe guardsmen to supervise the hanging of Fortenberry, slayer of Town Marshal J. C. Sanford at Pretvtlss lust New Year's day, after reported threats of violence. The guardsmen were called out because of protests against a death sentence commutation given Jerome Franklin, convicted as Fortenberry's accomplice. The different methods of execution resulted from a law passed by the last legislature fixing electrocution as the means of death. Men condemned before the law became effective have their choice. Two other persons are scheduled to be electrocuted In the portable chair at Vlcksburg, Miss., a week fro*" today. ... i ' ' " The RlQht Way "I don't kilo-w what to do with that dog of mine.

Annual Harvest of Brewing Crops By Farm Workers in Many States CtOPS worth $100,000,000 art now being harvested for Amerl; can brewers, with farmers, processors and intermediate handlers pocketing the cash. Barley, hops, corn and rice are the farm crops that go into beer and ale. Harvesting i^egins with the gathering of the rice, which starts usually in August, followed by the barley and hop crops. The hop-picking period lasts more than a month on a cycle which moves from Southern to Northern states principally along the Pacific Coast. Corn is shucked and sent to the elevators until late in the Winter. It takes about a half-pound of hops. 62 pounds of carefully .'selected barley, and from 17 to 21 (founds /of either corn or rice, before processing. to produce a 31-gallon barrel of beer or ale. The barley, converted Into malt. supplies "body" to the brew, while the hops give flavor, aroma and! preservative qualities. Corn or rice, need as a malt adjunct, reduces the protein content of beer and produces a crystal-clear beverage conforming to American . tafete standards. It reuulrefe about foar billion pounds of these premium products to produce America's normal output of malt beverages. The $600,000,000 paid by brewers for these farm crops since beer's relegallcatlon in 1933 has gone principally to fgrnrert, with the remainder distributed among processors, transportation industries and other service industries.
