GOOD SEED GRAIN

Farmers having grain which is
Of special value for seed, especially
pedigreed stuff. should sell the same
for seed. rather than to have it
shipped to the mills" says Profess
sor H. L. Bolley, state pure seed
commissioner Some farmers are
so situated that they cannot hold
their grain and must sell it immed-
lately. If it is pedigreed seed Of
good quality, they SHOULD send a
sample in to the state pure seed
laboratory here at the college and
have it analyzed. Then, if it shows
good test, we will be able to help
them dispose of it Immediately. We
have number of calls for good
pedigreed seed, particularly Dl and
Kubanka, from seed houses who
will buy Immediately. All grain
that is suitable for good seed should
be used as such.''

MOTION FOR LAYER
TRIAL TO Be ASKED

Bismarck. N. D., Sept. pa
motion will be filed within 10 days
in the district court at Washburn,
asking for trial for Henry Layer,
confessed slayer of eight persons at
Tutle Lake last April. e. P. Kelly
Of Darlington, attorney, retained by
Layers relatives and friends, said
today.
For several weeks Mr.. Kelly and
his partner, Mr.. Morris, have been
Investigating the case. Mr.. Kelly
talked to Layer at the state peni-
tentiary here yesterday.
Emphasizing that he believed
Judge w. L. Nuessle Of the district
court, who sentenced Layer to the
penitentiary for life on his plea OF
guilty, gave the defendant every
opportunity that a court is charged
with giving an accused man, Mr..
Kelly said the petition for a trial
would be based on the subsequent
investigation.
The attorney for Layer held that
the crime probably was committed
by more than one person. They
say 1t is scarcely possible that Lay
er could have killed the seven
members of Jacob VOLTS family
and the chore boy by the use of
shotgun. They hold that the cir
cumstances show that Layers con-
fession of guilt was false.

the currency, impending presidential!
election, capital and labors eternal
arguments, delayed shipments, have
caused some worry. On the whole.
however, the safe and sane policy OF

AS a consequence officers of the

While the time is bit in the fu-

ilents already are enthusiastic over
prospects for an unusually interest

The meeting is called in order that
buyer and seller may get together for
