SPEER ENTERS IN
BATTLE OVER THE.
ESTATE Of SMITH

MACON, Ca, March By the terms
OF an order signed by Judge Emory
Speer at his office in the Macon fed
eral building, Ordinary Bacon, of Ogle-
thorpe, is restrained from appointing
a permanent administrator of the es-
tate of the late James M. Smith, of
Smithsonia. The appointment was
to have been made today at Lexing-
ton.
Former Congressman W. M. Howard,
his law partner, Judge E. H. Galloway
and E. K Lumpkin and J. ]. Strick-
and, came to Macon from Augusta, and
On behalf of Arkansas ond Louisiana
heirs of Jim Smith, filed the petition
for restraining order, which was
granted Immediately by Judge Speer.
The petition is styled Mrs Leila
jennings, ct al, VS.. the clients and at
torneys of various persons claiming to
be true heirs of Jim smith, and as
such having the power to choose the
permanent administrator of the es-
tate"
The Louisiana and Arkansas heirs
styling themselves Mrs. Jennings ct al,
claim that they "are children and
grandchildren of Jim Smiths mother"
making them nieces and nephews of
the late millionaire The petition cites
that they are the only true heirs of
MIR. Smith, and are thus entitled to
the entire estate.

wrong with some potatoes this year.
They didn't grow like the seed agent
said they would. Edwin bundled up a
sack full the other day and took them
up to the university to find out what
is the matter. 1t worries him when
he don't know just exactly what is
causing trouble, because as rule
he can tell and he isn't used to being
baffled.
A record is kept Of every crop. Ell

year he sold more than $78 worth of
produce from his gardens, which he
raised at total expense, including
labor, of $50. This is what can be
done with intensified gardening in the
city limits of Moscow.
Edwin will have an exhibit of his
products at the Latah County Fair
this year. Every boy. and girl in La

sona rainfall. from April to July, in

point out that while the yields obtain
ed at Moccasin are not representative
of all the dry-land area, the compar-
ative results are believed to be apple
able in general to all the dry-farming
areas Of Montana.
Following is brief statement of
the conclusions which seem warrant
ed by the results of the tests:
On the average, satisfactory yields
are obtained from winter and spring
wheat, spring oats, barley, and flax.
The best winter wheats are the
Kharkof and Turkey. These belong
to the Crimean group of hard winter
wheats.
The best rate to SOW winter wheat
is 3 pecks per acre. The best date
to SOW is from August 10th to Sep
tenlber 10th.
The highest yields of spring wheat
have been obtained from varieties of
durum wheat OF these, the Pelissier
has been the best. Of the common
spring wheats the best variety tc
grow appears to be the MARQUIS
Spring wheats are seeded at the
rate of 4 pecks per acre.

not to the wisdom, craftsmanship, or
