BANFF, Alb, July 27.---A story of
heroism and death on a Jagged
mountainside and of woman's strug-
gle alone--almsst within sight of the
shattered body of her acknowledgements
death by hunger, thirst and cold
through eight days and nights in a
Tcrevlce of rock came haltingly and in
coherently tonight from the lips of
Mrs. w. E. Stone, the widow of the
president of Purdue University. Her
husband gave his life July 1o trying to
rescue her from the rocky prison into
which she had fallen as they were at
tempting to scale Mount canon. near
here.
At the emergency hospital at Camp
A-5siniboihs, to which Mrs. Stone was
rushed after her discovery SUNDAY by
searching party, it was said she would
recover. Physicians and nurses who
were attending her said the fact tina.
she had not persisted from the shock
an deprivation of the ordeal was re-
markable.
Late to-day she was considered
strong enough to be moved and street
cher-bearers started carrying her to
| another camp on Marble Creek, a
nights march away.
Fail to Reach Body
Meanwhile little progress had been
made toward extricating the body of
DR.. Stone, one of the best known edu-
Gators in the United States. 1t was
fac L. y
for several days, as it is wcdged fast
between Jagged rocks at the bottom
of the abyss.
DR.. and Mrs. Stone were skillful and
enthusiastic mountain climbers and
were exploring in the Canadian Rockies
both for enjoyment and scc ntihc OBJ
servation. The fall that cost Or. Stone
his life was the result of his struggle
to save Mrs. Stone when she lost her
footing
DR.. Stone grasped at her, but too
late, as she slipped and fell into
seventeen-foot crevice. DR.. Stone
first tried to pull her up with q rope
but his strength was not sufficient, and
he lowered himself to her side.
Gathering his bruised and half-con-
scious wife in his arms, DR.. Stone at
tempted to climb back up the almost
vertical cliff. He had got her clear of
the crevice when his footing gave way
and he fell backward and struck on a
/ ledge of rock far below. AS he did SO
Mrs. Stone fell back into the crevice
from which he had just rescued her
There she lay until Sunday, when
searchers, who had known the couple
expected to be gone only three days, at
last found them. Mrs. Stone did not
/ know her husband YVES dead until they
! told her Of finding his body.

NebraskaPo
Tour Is Planned
During g August
Trip Through Western Coun'
ties of State to Start on
18th of Next
Month.

Arrangements are being made by
! the agricultural extension service
the, Nebraska Potato Improvement
I,association and western Nebraska
County Farm bureaus for a potato
field tour through Scots Bluff, Sioux
and ,kimball counties on August II
and IS. The tour will be accompa-
MED by potato growers from the va
r,ous potato producing. counties,
county agricultural agents from west
ern counties, representatives from the
Agricultural college, the state de-
partment Of agriculture, railroads, po-
tato dealers, etc. There will be a
number of people from outside the
state; among. them will, be William
A. Stuart; potato specialist for. the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, and w. c. Edmundson, SUI
'pcrintendent Of the COLORADO, potato
experiment farm at Greeley. ...
The object of the tour will be to
inspect a number of fields of pota-
toes, being grown in the North
Platte valley from western Nebraska
dry land certified seed, home grown
irrigated seed and seed imported
from other states, to inspect the va
rious demonstration plots in some
of which seed from 70 or more grow
ers are being, compared;,to study the
various variety trials and experiments
witt, seed potatoes that are being
conducted by the Nebraska agricul-
tural4 experiment station; to inspect
the irrigated potato. rotation plots
at the :SSotts Bluffs ycounty-eXperi-
ment farm and to, ins 2ect. a number.
of dry land potato fields that are be-
ing grown and Inspected with view,
to certihcation. : sI j, :.
The trip will be made by auto
starting from TIE Lincoln hotel at
Scottsbluff, -7:30, a. m, August II,
returning, to Scottsblufs at the end
of the day AMI leaving for Kimball
at s a. m, August 18. Auto accom-
nodations will be provided for those
not coming in their own cars.
Production of certified seed pota-
;oes is rapidly becoming an estab-
lished business in tie dry land re-
gions of western Nebraska. Last
winter western Nebraska dry land
grf wn 'srf'lild seed r:,atces were
shipped in CARROTS into 'he North
Platte valley, eastern &rs central
Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas, Okla
homa and Texas. Smaller lois have
been sent to eight or 10 other states
and to Canada. Reports indicate that
these western. Nebraska grown pota-
toes gave very excellent satisfaction.
Recently the department of agficul-
ture of the Bermuda islands has be-
come interested in trying out west
ern, Nebraska seed potatoes, because
Of the difficulty Of getting good seed
from other sources. =:
This season almost 1000 acres of
potafoes have been listed with the
agricultural extension service for in
spect;on and -crtiacation. :,

Farm. Notes,

Cut little green corr fodder each
day and haul it up for the milk cows.
They need green feed to supplement
the drying pastures, A few minutes
a day at this job yields returns in the
form of large cream check.
Final preparations for sending the
young people to school should be
made in August. Send for college
catalogs, select the school and, help
son or daughter to pick out the
proper course. Of 400 farmers in
Nebraska, those who had attended
high school made 32.l per cent more
money than those who had only
common school course.
Remove rotted silage and water
from the silo and see that necessary
repairs are made preparatory to fill

snug before filling. Be sure that
none Of the slo doors are missing
or off their hinges. Have supply
of building paper or old newspapers
on hand to seal the doors.
The natural laying season of the
hen in this locality is April, May and
June, unless she has been bred for
production in which case the laying
period begins earlier and lasts much
longer. Because this is true, July
and August is the time to do the first
culling of the flock, for the hens that
begin to moult now are the biggest

Arrangements Made for Mar.
ket Quotations to Secretary
OF Agriculture.

Leo 3. Stuhr, secretary of the state
department of agriculture, was in
Washington last week and com
pleted arrangements with the federal
bureau of asarkets, for Installing a
leased. wire in the state department
of agriculture for the handling OF
market. and crop reports. The eX-
pense OF both the wire and the op-
orator will be borne equally by the
state and federal governments.
The reports from all the large CEN
trail markets will cover, live stock and
grain quotations in detail and in ad-
dition will furnish quotations on
fruits and vegetables which are not
now generally covered in the mar
ket reports. ."-s.-- -.-,-
The service will be installed prob
ably within two or three weeks and
the reports will be available for the
newspapers and such other agencies
as may wish them. -
Mr.. -Stuhr said that as soon as re-
ceiving wireless telephone instru-
ments are available it is possible that
his department will enter into the
field Of furnishing market and other
reports to rural communities by wire
less after: the experimental work has
prevents practieability.
While in Washington Stuhr also
arranged 10 place a special market
ing man at Kearney and Alliance

who will keep in close touch with the
central markets, in the interests of
growers and small dealers in this

Ocean Freight
Lower ON Many
Farm Products
Cotton and Wheat Rates to
United Kingdom Reduced
Half Since Last No
vember.

Ocean freight rates on wheat and
cotton moving from North Atlantic
ports Of the United States to the
United Kingdom were approximate
ly SO per cent lower on July l, 1921,
than on November l, 1920, according
to a statement compiled by the Blu
reau of Markets and Crop Estimates
from data furnished by the United
States shipping board. This decline
corresponds substantially to. the
price declines OF these commodities
during the same period, so that the
ratio between the freight rates and
the market prices remains relatively
the same.
The average price Of cotton in
New York for October, 1920, and for
June, 1921, was $226S sand $l2 per
100 pounds, Respectively. In the;
absence OF figures showing the aver
age ocean freight rate on cotton d1ir-
ing those months, the in effect
on November /. 1870, and July. /,
1921, were used in this compilation.
Practically Unchanged.
The ocean, freight rate to the
United Kingdom was $l10 per 100
pounds on November 4, 1920, or 40
fperacent Of the. value OF the cottoIl'as
Represented by the quotation on that
date. On July. |, 1921 when the
ocean freight rate was 50 .l-2c per,
100, pounds, the ration betWeeti the
freight, rate and the price was, a.
|per cent. =; ,.... ~
On November j, 1920. No, q red
wheat was quoted i'll New York At
$25414 per, busf1el and the ocean
freight rate was, ~40c Fer 100 pounds,
or at the rate OF "a cents per bushel,
which represented l0.2 per cent OF
rhe valne of the wheat. On, July l.,
1921, with No. 2 red wheat selling,
at $l.47 IL per bushel, the freight.
rate was p cents per 100 pounds
1875 cents per bushel-or 8.5 per cent
of the value of bushel of wheat.
Both the price of wheat and the
freight rate may be said to represent
a fair average for June.
Decline Less Marked. .
The decline in the rates and prices
OF other commodities was less
marked In the case of butter and
cheese the wholesale prices have de-
Clined approximately A per cent
since last November, while the ocean
freight rates on these commodities
have fallen onlv from 20 per cent to
rs per cent.
The export rail freight rate from
Kansas City to Galveston is II cents
per bushel and the ocean freight
from Galveston to the United King
dom is IS cents per bushel, making
total of AZ cents per bushel, OF
which the cost of the inland rail
haul represents 64.S per cent.
In Argentina, the rail rate tor
transporting 1000 Kilograms (2,2O4:6
rounds) of wheat distance of 50o
ki1ometers 600 miles) is Slo44
paper, or 12.2 cents per
hushel, calculated on the basis OF
the prevailing rate of exchange. The
average rail haul in Argentina is
435 kilometers (261 y1iles). Argen-
tina growers thus have an apparent
advantage of about 14.8 cents per
bushe1 over the interior sections OF
the United States in the cost OF
transporting their wheat to the sea-
board. This advantage, however, is |
rarity offset by larger ocean freight
rates from Argentina to the United
which, at the present
time, are around '23 cents. per bushel,
combined rail-and-ocean
rate Of 35.2 cents per bushel for |
Argentine wheat.
