Proved by Tests.

For feeding cows, rs tons Of pump
kins, with seeds in. are the equal Of
one ton of corn silage. Some folks
say that pumpkin seeds will cause
cows to go dry. or that they will work
on animals kidneys, and hence the
pumpkin seeds should not be fed
There, is no truth in such statements,
as has been proved by feeding tests.
On the other hand, pumpkin seeds are
beneficial. When fed to pigs they free
the pigs Of worms and put the diges-
tive apparatus In tip-top shape. An
excess Of seeds causes an upset OF
the digestive organs for q day or so.

so THE PEOPLE MAY KNOW

In recent issue Of the Panther,
the Delta High School paper. thore
| appeared long article taking excep-
ton to my letter to the Independent
| regarding the basketball troubles be-
| tween that school and the Eckart
high school. Since the Panther did
final word in your columns.
1. Delta was the only team to try
to take advantage Of the Spalding
rules in order to avoid playing a re-
turn game. Defeat and loss OF the
district championship stared her in
the face. and therefore she attempted
to outlaw Eckert's court, which. II
! allowed, would mean that five-sixths
of the courts on the western slope
would be closed to conference teams.
The small school would thereafter no
longer figure in these contests. Delta
played on other understandard courts
without dissent.
2. Eckert expected Delta to play
the promised return game without
Delta's being compelled by the Yves
tern Slope Association to do 30. Only
when repeated appeals to Delta's
sporting blood failed, did Eckert go
before the executive committee, and
that was on February 21st, ten days
before the Tournament--not five days
as the Panther falsely says. All
through the above cited article, the
Panther whines because Eckert did
not earlier ask the executive commit
tee to make Delta live up to Its prom.
ise--this Is hardly the attitude Of q
true sport.
3. Another inaccuracy in the Pan.
Their Is the statement that Delta from
the beginning fatty refused to SEIZED.
1t was established before the commit
tee by a competent disinterested wit
ness that the Delta authorities volun-
teered return game presumably on
Eckert's court. AS a compromise Ec-
kert later offered to play on the
Hotchkiss or Paonia courts but Delta
refused.
5. The Panther wisely says not q
word against the decision of the exc
utive committee, whose rulings were
in Eckert's favor. II the decision
means anything, It means that Delta
was in the wrong and that Eckert's
claims were just in the judgment Of
the committee that ruled the forfeit.
The decision means that II Delta had
been a good sport she would have
played the game without compulsion.
s. The Panther says-"Then SEQ
ing that II Delta were compelled to
forfeit to hsr the two t0ms would be
tied. Eckert put her neglected pro-
test before the committee exactly
five, days before the Tournament, etc.'
The fact H. II was ten days. In 30
