State Groom Alfalfa
Seed ShOlUS Increase

That extensive production of al
falfa seed in Michigan followed ia
vorable conditions Of last year, and
that this seed proved to be a con-
siderable factor in the planting Of
an increased acreage this spring is
the statement Of Prof. j. +. Cox,
head Of the farm crops department
at the Michigan Agricultural College.
Estimates place the home grown al
falfa seed used in Michigan at at
least 10000 pounds.
, ut has not yet been proven that
alfalfa seed production is CONNER
cialy profitable in Michigan on a
large scale" says Professor Cox,
but many farmers have found it
advantageous to set aside several
acres for seed production for their
own use and for sale in the neigh
bolhood
Home grown seed from well
established fields Of proven hardi-
ness is, if properly matured, excel
LIANT for planting in Michigan. Should
the midsummer and late summer
season prove to be warm, with
average or less than average rainfall,
the second crop of alfalfa can be ex-
pected to set seed successfully, II
allowed to stand for seed production.
THE heaviest yields Of alfalfa seed
are secured from fields on light
loans. Old fields which are becom-
ing thin usually set seed better than
new seedlings. The yields reported to
the farm crops departmental NJ. A.
c. during the past season by farm
ers who produced seed range from
one TO three and one-half bushels
per acre, an average of approx
mately two bushels per acre.
"An extensive increase is beng
made by members of the Michigan
Crop Improvement Association of the
rev Harding alfalfa, recently re-
Veased from the breeding plots OF
Prof. F. A. Spragg. of the college
station. A considerable supply OF
this high seed yielding strain should
be available for next years planting.
Where possible Grimm, Cossack'
or other alfalfa varieties of known
dependability should be saved for

THE PRIMARY LAW

The Banner believes that, as
America is representative demo-
cracy, where the people delegate au
thority to act in their behalf, that it
will be far less expensive and far
more satisfactory to delegate author
ity TO make nominations for them
also.
The old convention system had its
abuses, but they could be remedied
easily if sincere attempt TO do so
be made. Experience shows that "A
primary election has become rich
mans game and has defeated the
purpose for which it was supposed to
be adopted.
To place a small limit on the ex-
pense which candidate for u. S.
senator or governor can incur as a
candidate at the primary is unfair TO
the candidate and TO the people, pro-
vided money is expended for legiti-
mate purposes, such as advertising,
circulars and letters. The people, if
they are to choose, have a right to be
informed about the candidate and
what he stands for. That calls for
publicity in newspapers and letters
and circulars. That means cash, and
lots of it, when a whole state is in
volved.
Is it not time to do away with this
so-called reform" which is shown
not to be a reform, but to be need
lessly expensive method of making
political nominations? Hastings

Once his heart leaped into his
throat at sharp crack of brush be-
side him; and he could scarcely re-
strain a musculer jerk that might have
revealed his position But when he
turned his head he could see nothing
but the coverts and the moon above
them. A garden snake, or perhaps a
blind mole, had made the sound.
Four minutes later he was within
one dozen feet of the designated win
dow. There was O stretch of moon
light between, but he passed 1t quick
ly. And now he stood in bold relief
against the moonlit house-wall.
He was in perfectly plain sight of
any one on the hill behind. Possibly
his distant form might have been dis
cerned from the window of one of the
lesser houses occupied by Simon's kin.
But he was too close to the wall to
be visible from the windows of Simon's
house, except by deliberate scrutiny.
And the window slipped up noiseless-
ly in his hands,
He was considerably surprised. He
had expected this window to be locked.
Some way, he felt less hopeful of sue

slipped silently into the room. Except
for the moonlit square on the floor it
was quite in darkness.
He stood q moment, hardly breath

his presence to some one in an adjOin-

the wall, then moved slowly around
the room. He knew that by this course
he would soon encounter the door that
led into the interior rooms.
In a moment he found 1t. He stood
waiting. He turned the knob gently |;

wondered whether, should he hurl all
his magnificent strength against the
panels, he could break the lock; and
if he did so, whether he could escape
with the girl before he was shot down.
But his hand, wandering over the
lock, encountered the key
1t was easy, after all. He turned the
key. The door opened beneath his
hand.
If there had been a single ray of
light under the door or through the
keyhOle, his course would have been
quite different. He would have opened
the door suddenly in that case, hoping
to take by surprise wnosoever of the
clan were guarding Linda. To open a
door slowly into a room full of enc
mics is only to give them plenty of
time to cock their rifles. But in this
case the room was in darkness, and all
that he need fear was making a sud
den sound. The opening slowly
widened. Then he slipped through and
stood ten breathless seconds in silence.
Linda" he whispered He waited
long time for an answer. Then he
stole farther into the room.

Are you here?'
And in that unfathomable silence he
heerd a Sound-a sound so dim and

like the faintest, almost imperceptible
gust of wind. But there was no doubt

and was either half-gagged by a hand

to conceal its presence by muffling it's

There was a strange response to the
calling of that name. He heard no
whispered answer. Instead, the door

CHAPTER XIX
.

AS Bruce hurried up the hill toward
the Ross estates. he made a swift CAL
culatiOn of the rifle shells in his pock-
ct The gun held six. He had perhaps
fifteen others in his pockets. and he
hadn't stopped to replenish them from
the supply Elmira had brought. He
hadn't brought Dawes rifle with him,
but had left it with the remainder of
his pack. He knew that the lighter he
travelled the greater would be his
ckance of success.
Obviously the girl had written when
the clan was closing about the house,
and finding her in the front room,
there had been no occasion to search
the other rooms and thus discover it.
The girl had kept her head even in
that moment of crisis. A wave of ad-
miration for her passed over him.
And the little action had set an ex-
ample for him. He knew that only
rigid seif-cOntrol and cool-headed
strategy could achieve the thing he had
set out to do. His impulse was to
storm the door, to pour his lead
through the lighted windows; but such
things could never take Linda out of
SimOn'S hands. Only stealth and eau
ton, not blind courage and frenzy,
could serve her now. Such blind
killing as his heart prompted had to
wait for another time
He knew only the general direction

Linda had told him it rested upon the
crest of small hill, beyond a ridge
of timber. The moonlight showed him
a weIl-beaten trail, and he strobe
swiftly along it,
He had vague sense of familiarity
with this winding trail Perhaps he
had toddled down it as a baby, per-
hapS his mother had carried him along
it on a neighborly visit to the Rosses.
He went over the hill and pushed his
way to the edge of the timber. All
at once the moon showed him the
house.
He couldn't mistake it, even at this
distance. And to Bruce it had singu-
lar effect of unreality. The mountain
men did not ordinarily build homes of
such dimensions. They were usually
merely log cabins of two or three low
er rooms and a garrett to be reached
with a ladder. The ancestral home of
the RosSes, however, had fully dozen
rooms, and 1t lOomed to an incredible
size in the mystery of the moonlight.
He saw quaint gabled roofs and far
spreading wings. And it seemed more
like a house of enchantment, a struc-
ture raised by the rubbing of a magic
lamp. than the work of carpenters and
maSOnS.
Probably its wild surroundings had
a great deaf TO do with this effect.
There were no roads leading TO Trails
End. Material could not be carried
over its winding trails except on pack
animals. He had a realization of tre-
mendous difficulties that had been con-
quered by tireleSs effort, of long
months of unending toll, of exhaust
less patience and at the end-a dream
come true. All of it's lumber had to
be hewed from the forests about. It's
stone had been quarried from the rock
cliffs AID hauled with infinite labor

the wind had blown it shut for il Is
always the way Of youth TO hope-as
long as any hope is left. His heart
leaped and he whirled to face it. Then
he heard the unmistakable sound of
bolt being slid into place.
Some little space of time followed
in silence. He struggled with growing
horror, and time seemed limitless
Then strong man laughed grimly in
the darkness.
