Here again the bank should be held
responsible for the premature release
of this warrant or it should be ex-
onerated by showing the authority
upon which it acted.
Davis Conclusions.
A careful examination of the records
in these cases warrants the following
conclusions which may be stated with
out injustice to Mr.. Huston or any
member of the board:
|. By the transfers referred to Mr..
Huston seems to have avoided that
rule of the board which fixes the max
imum amount which any one person
may borrow at $5OO0
z. The real borrower, or at least the
person benehcially interested in the
loans. was allowed to appraise his own
lands.
3. The state was made to lose 500
which it was entitled to under rule
80, and the waiver of this fee was an
injustice to other borrowers.
q. Nineteen thousand dollars of
the states money was actually loaned
out before the abstracts to any of the
property III question ndQ Deen APPROX
ed by the attorney generals office, and
before they had even been presented
to the state for examination.
| am not making the mistake of at
tempting to hold you responsible for
the actions of the board. since, of
| course, you are only one member of
it. 1t does seem, however, that some
one should have discovered these ir-
regularitics and spoken out against
them; and while you are explaining
the general actions of the board. it
might be we'll for you to explain this
particular transaction, a transaction
of the kind that tends to make the
people lose faith in all public officials.
And while you are explaining this
matter you may as we'll tell the people
why it is that Mr. Huston is drawing
money tom the per cent fund for
making appraisements in various parts
of the state. Should not this duty
properly fall upon the state land COM
missioner and his assistants?
Yours very respectfully.

grain from one seed, and to make an
acre carry As TONS
This does sound like miracle, but
here is the method, and If any farmer
has the patience to try it he will most
certainly be surprised at the result.
: Each grain is planted separately in
a hole about fifteen inches deep, ana
three and. half feet in width. Feet.
remember mot inches.
As soon as the grain sprouts the lit
tie blade is covered with a thin layer
of earth about an inch and a half in
depth. The result is that you get
three stalks instead of one. At the
end of three weeks the hoe comesfnto
use again, and the three stalks being
covered with earth, turn into nine
stalks.
This process being repeated q third
time, results in 27 stalks, and the
Russian in questions repeated it ten.

grain produced 59,04O stalks If the
seed is first sown in the ordinary
fashion and then transplanted to the

stronger growth, so that after only

The Marshall Field estate owns
one-sixth of the downtown. land of
Chicago. 1t classes easily as the lar
gest, richest and most powerful land
lord and real estate dealer in Chi
cago.
According to records kept by a
leading authority on Chicago real
estate deals, the Field estate has
bought piece by piece in the square
mile bounded by Twelfth st. on the
south, Halsted st. on the west, the
river to the north and the lake to
the east and the value of the Field
holdings is shown by this real estate
authority to be more than One-sixth
of the total valuation of the entire
district.
Record-breaking deals last week
by John G. Shedd, president of Mar
shall Field & Co., show that the land
buying policy of the Field interests is
being followed as in previous years
and the real estate is the favored in
vestment for the big surplus of profits
and dividends pouring into the Field
interests. Marshall Field l. indicated
in his last will and testament that
land, with good security, was his first
choice as the proper place to put the
overflow funds that should come to
his heirs after his funeral. Whether
John G. Shedd in his big purchases
lately is acting directly for the Field
estate is not told in the stories of the
deals. It is generally assumed that
Shedd himself hasn't operated indi-
viduany. His buying is supposed to
be in behalf of the heirs, chief of
whom is Marshall Field Ill, now rid

proach to a prince of royal blood.
