Excellent, Mr. Holmes-that is better
than your idea of blind"
Quite so, you have got an admir-
able theory. l have no doubt that my
own ideas were quite wild, but you
must admit that they have ended in
discovering the silver"
Yes, sir-yes. 1t was all your doing.
But | have had a bad setback"
"A setback"
Yes, Mr.. Holmes. The Randall
gang were arrested in New York this
morning"
Dear me, Hopkins! That is GER
tainly rather against your theory, that
they committed murder in Kent last
night"
TT is fatal Mr. Holmes-absolutely
fatal. Still, there are other gangs OF
three besides the Randalls, or it may
be some new gang of which the police
! have never heard
| Quite SO. it is perfectly possible
What, are you OFF,"
Yes. Mr.. Holmes, there is no rest
/ for me until l have got to the bottom
Of the business. l suppose you have
no hint to give me-"

"Ah, that's the question, Of course
But 1 commend the idea to your mind
You might possibly find that there wa:
something in it. You won't stop fol
dinner Well, goodbye, and let Us
know how you get on
| Dinner was over, and the table
cleared before Holmes alluded to the
matter again. He had lit his pipe an6
held his slippered feet to the Cheerful
blaze of the fire. Suddenly he looked
at his watch.
Il expect developments, Watson"

say you thought I acted rather badly
to Stanley Hopkins just now"
Il trust your judgment"

must look at it this way: what l know
is unofficial, what he knows is official
I have the right to private judgment
but he has none. He must disclose al

doubtful case I would not put him il
so painful a position, and so I reserve
my information until my own mind i.

CORN SHOULD MATURE EARLY

McClusky, N. D.-Importance of
growing varities of corn that ma
ture early, was demonstrated in the
20-acre corn field contest conducted
by the First National Bank of Nc
Clusky, won by H. A. Templeton.
The fields were judged by Prof. j. H.
Shepperd Of the North Dakota Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station, acting
for the extension division of the
Agricultural College.
Corn mature enough to pick seed
ears was found in the fields that won
the prizes, while Prof! Shepperd pick
ed a dinner of roasting ears from
some of the fields on the day the
judging was done, August 9th.
Some Of the fields had good stands of
fodder, but ears were not developed
enough to tell whether the variety
was flint or dent. Loss through
early frost to the farmer growing
late maturing varities is better un-
derstood when it is recalled that ma
the feeding value of the corn plant.
The first prize was 500, total Of
$500 being distributed among the
first seven contestants. The fields
were scored on basis of 20 points
for stand, 40 points for freedom
from weeds, 10 on ripeness, and 80 for
yield. Mr.. Templeton's prize win
ming field probably will yield 40
bushels to the acre. Theodore
Vail won second prize; Henry Kabele,
third; E. j. Barron, fourth; Louis
Meyers, fifth; George Shaffer, sixth,
and Jacob Heitzman, seventh.

ing unturned to do secretly now what
he tried to do publicly in 1917. We
made an effort to obtain permission
to use names Of farmers who heard
those woblies make their unscrupu-
lous attacks about Minot and Mr..
Nestos, but the refusal on the part Of
every one was based on the same rea-
son viz: "That League papers have
threatened to blackmail in publicity
every one who dared to sign a recall
petition shows that we who voted for
Frazier last fall would not be safe to
allow our names published now." We
realize that due to the unscrupulous
acts of the I. w. w. that farmers who
have recently quit the league, would
lay themselves and their property
to great danger by allowing their
names published in connection with
such disclosures, therefore we with
hold them.

are proved true. Government ex.

will see it worked both ways.

u. s. PLANS TO COL
LECT SEED LOANS

Fargo, Sept. MANY farmers in
North Dakota and Montana who were
granted seed loans by the govern
ment last spring, have gained the i'm
preston, mistakenly, that they will
not be pressed by the government for
the payment Of these loans this fall,
according to c. T. Foster, inspector for
the Department of Agriculture, who
Is in North Dakota investigating al
legged irregularities in the seed loans.
Farmers have delayed payment on
these loans with the idea that there
will be a general release on them as
was the case in 1919," said Mr.. Foster
II can state positively on behalf of
the department that there will be no
such release given this year, and the
loans must be paid
Mr.. Foster said that it is probable
that an office will be opened in the
state to see to the enforcement of
seed loan payments. In this connec-
tion the department has issued the
following statement:
"The department of agriculture an
nounces that it's representatives are
Investigating alleged irregularities
in connection with seed loans which
were made in North Dakota and Mon
tana last spring, from the $4,000
fund appropriated by congress for
that purpose. The act authorizing
the loans provides penalties for con-
viction of Misrepresentation in maxi
ing application for them, and reports
have reached the department that
Misrepresentation were made in GER
tain cases. It has also been reported
that some seed loan borrowers have
failed to protect their crops properly,
or have pastured stock on them to the
detriment of the interests of the gov
ernment. If the departments inves-
tigators find that the facts justify
such action, the cases will be turned
over to the department of justice for
prosecution.

tato producers, shippers, railroad and
business men lead by Hugh ]. Hughes
Minnesota's director of markets at
Moorhead, Minnesota, August 81.
Minnesota and North Dakota DO
tato producers must build up a rep
utation for high class product, said
Mr.. Hughes in stressing the neces-
sity for grading and marketing the
potatoes comparatively. "Even when
our local potato markets are glut-
ted, shipments of well-graded pota-
toes are shipped in from other states,
and they top the market. Standards

they will protect the shipper and the
dealer, that they will help build up

favoring a compulsory inspection Of
potatoes. A new Minnesota law,
which was explained by Mr.. Hughes
and George Wicker of the state de-
partment of Agriculture, states
that dealer must make an account
ing to the shipper of farm produce
within 48 hours after receipt of the
shipment, or else that he demand an
inspection by the state department
Immediately upon the arrival or the
produce. Thus if the shipments are
inspected, and the claim of quality
accompanies the shipment, the deal
er must either take it as it is claimed
to be, or he must have it inspected.
This law, it was explained covers
such farm products as fruits, dairy
products, eggs, and potatoes.
Grading and loading Of potatoes
was dem onstrated in the forenoon
under the direction of S. D. Watson,
inspector for the Minnesota Potato
Growers Association. Other speak
ers were Gordon Randlett, director
of extension of the North Dakota
Agricultural College, and A. Cal
lahan, of the traffic department of
the Northern Pacific, w. r. Porter,
Dakota Agricultural College, co-ope-
rated in arranging for the meeting.
North Dakota potato growers organ
izations have decided to market their
produce together with the Minnesota
growers.
