place was abandoned. Valiant, who
lived here, and the owner of another
plantation. who was named Sassoon,
quarreled. They fought, the story is,

Il can't imagine. unless she had

laugh. But then," she said, "it may
have been nothing so romantic. Va

He did not smile. He was looking
out once more over the luminous
stretch of fields, his side-face towards
her. Curious and painful questions
were running through his brain. With
an effort, he thrust these back and re-
called his attention to what she was

would be his impression of the neigh

opinion Of himself had never occurred
to him.
You think there's no chance Of his
choosing to stay here because he
actually likes it?"
Not the slightest" she said indif-
ferently.
You are so certain of this without
ever having seen him?"
She glanced at him covertly, an
noyedly sensible Of the improperly

be his friend. But his insistence had

would have its way. TITS true I've

back from him, and her eyes we're now
fixed on his with dawning half-fear-

DRY FARMER SAYS
FARM BIG ACREAGE

state dry farm in this county, who
is frequent visitor in Elko, is max
ing great success of the experiment.
al station in Lamoille Valley. Re-
garding the yield of the farm this
year, Mr.. Sohlman had the followink
to say: III
The crops were cut about half IL
two this year by the severe frost VII
had in June. the first June frost
18 years. Otherwise we should have
had about the same yield as we did
last year when we secured 53 bushels
of Turkey Red winter wheat to the
acre.
Some people are of the opinion that
the dry farm should pay it's own way
but they don't stop to consider the
fact that we are constantly expert
menting to find out what grains are
best suited to this kind of farming.
We had 60 varieties last year. This
fall we seeded 15 acres to winter
grains, reserving the balance of 80
acres available for cultivation next
year for spring sowing. The state
dry farm could be made pay if it's
size were doubled, making the size
<160 acres, and if the experimental
features were eliminated. Two men
could take care of 800 acres as easily
as they could of 160 acres If they did
not have so much extra work to do,
due to the experiments carried on for
the benefit of those engaged in this
kind Of farming. Elko county has
great quantities of land suitable to
dry farming but a dry farm should
contain 800 acres, as half of it is sum.
mer fallowed each year. The big
yield of dry-farmed wheat last year
was of such high quality that it sold
for cents pound for seed"
