PLANS FOR PURE sEEp WORK.

Outlined by Or. Lery Of State Council
Of Defense.
Denver.-Pure seed work and the
control OF animal diseases are both
to be undertaken systematically BY
the committee on food production and
conservation OF tho Colorado Council
of Defense of which Charles A. Lory
is chairman. Both lines of work are
to be based upon practical co-opsrar
ton with the producers.
Plans for the pure seed work have
been outlined. In the protection Of
the farmers from the sale of impure
seed large share Of the success will
depend upon assistance from the
farmers themselves. The councils
committee is confident of cooperation
as 1t Is confident OF cooperation by
the farmers and live stock growers in
controlling animal diseases. Govern
or Gunter regards these lines Of work
as of fundamental and invaluable
character and will encourage them a.
much as possible.
The home gardening work in Colo
RADIO during the coming year is also
to be supervised systematically. The
councils food production and conser-
vation committee is now laying Its
plans on home gardening and proba-
bly, will announce them soon.

worth OF Dlack diamonds. The Z1S
coal mines of the state produced 49,
100000 tons OF the fuel, against an
output of 10000 tons in 1916 and
100000 tons in 1915. The $30,0OO,-
900 set forth as the value of the 1917
yield is figured on an average worth
of $3.50 a ton. Two impediments, Ia
Dor scarcity and car shortage, pre-
vented the Colorado coal yield Of 1917
from reaching a total of $4,000 900 or
IL, ,OO0,o tons.
Fully 100000 worth Of vegetables
was raised in the war gardens in Dem
yer in 1917, as a patriotic response to
the federal admonition for food pro-
duction.
In 1909 the total value of Colorado's
fruit crop was $4,6s0,O0O, and in 1917
the aggregate worth of the fruit yield
reached $6,150,000 Seven-eighths Of
the states fruit crop is of apples and
peaches. Labor scarcity in harvest
ing and shipping work and adverse
weather conditions in 1917 acted, Of
course, as drawbacks to the orchard
ing industry in this state. The prices
paid for the fruit were the highest in
years, the canning concerns vieing in
paying attractive rates for the apples
and peaches.
The value Of the poultry products
Of Colorado In 1917 totaled 47,250. 900,
this aggregate number representing
$500, 900 chickens and 10000, 900 dos
en- eggs brought into market from the
ranches Of the state.

cided that Mrs. Leoniff's Blanche was
really her child, and Mrs. Leoniff
didn't know what to think. There were
consultations, investigation and ques-
tioning Of hospital records and physi-
clans, but the only information to be
gained there was the stereotyped hos
pital reply, that 1t was not possible
that any hospital attache or hospital
could make a mistake. So the matter
was carried to Magistrate Healy, who
examined the hospital and other wit
nesses, drove the hospital physician to
admit that an exchange might have Oc-
Cured there, although he still chung to
the general proposition that mistakes"
and "hospital" are terms not to-be put
together, and then, after he had made
some Investigations on his. own initia-
tive, the magistrate awarded the Le-
oniff baby to Mrs. Felner and-the Eel
ner child to Mrs. Leoniff. He did this
because there was striking resemblance
between the one child and twelve
year-old boy of the Leoniff family, and
between the other baby and her mother.

n New York.-Was it maternal in
stinct, or cold analysis, that led to the
adjudication that Blanche Leoniff was
Annie Felner, and that Annie Felner
was Blanche Leoniff. Anyway, the
matter was brought to the attention Of
Magistrate Healy Of New York city, a
short time ago, by the mother of An
ME Felner, and, after thescourtt had ,in-
vestigated, judgment was recorded
declaring the identity of each baby,
and there was a new distribution Of
the youngsters to conform to the judg-
ment. -a..: 4, -: r.. .-...-.
Trouble Began Seven Months Ago.
The trouble began seven months ago,
when Mrs. Minnie Leoniff and Mrs.
Gussie Felner, both Of the East side,
New York, were inmates Of the mater
nifty ward of Gouverneur hospital, and
to each, on the same day, was born a
girl child. Mrs. Leoniff wasn't in con-
dition at once to nurse her child, so it
was given for short time to Mrs. Eel
ner, who agreed to nurse both children,
temporarily. In day or two Mrs.
Eeoniff became competent to take care
Of her child, and tor "a haby''-was
taken from Mrs. Felner and given her.
Later, both women left the hospital
for their homes, each with baby.
Grew Bit Suspicious.
No sooner had Mrs. Felner come
home than her sister declared that the
child she was caressing certainly
wasn't hers. And in time she grew q
bit suspicious herself And in the LIE
oniff household, also, doubts began to
arise. The little Blanche was so unlike
her rosy-cheeked, dark, Jewish broth
ers and sisters; she was blonde, had
light blue eyes and instead Of being
boisterous and robust, was slight and
pale. She was the marvel and the adj
miration, and also the puzzle Of the
household.
Then, a, few weeks ago, there was
an accidental meeting of the moth
ers, each with her baby, on Grand
