This prize money, according to Walter

and the shortest time in growing and
fattening one or more pigs, showing the
biggest gain in pounds per day for a
given number Of days, using Vitamont

be awarded a grand prize of 5000 or its

good dairy stock which insures success.
The calf which Mr.. Hoagland received
was Walker DeKol Boy, eight months old,
bred by Walter DeKol Bonheur out Of
Edna Segius Walker. Excellent care was
taken Of the animal, and in the spring
Of 1926 he had developed into a fine
specimen. Mr.. Hoagland had when he
received the calf is grade Holsteins and
i've pure bred heifers. He has since
purchased eleven pure bred cows. Walker
DeKol Boy has sired so far thirteen heif-
ers, dve Of the dams being pure bred,
and three bull calves. One yearling bull
has been sold. AS a three-year-old he
weighs 100 pounds.
! To Mr.. HOagland the interesting thing
about Walker DeKol Boy is that his dam
under test in 1926 gave $4,000 pounds Of
milk, or 1085 pounds Of butter This
dam under her first test had a record Of
less than 400 pounds. With this second
test, Mr.. Hoagland is of the opinion he
has an outstanding bull at the head Of
his herd, and that his calves are worth a
lot of money
Mr.. Hoagland weighs his milk each
day, tests it, and aims only to keep the
best. Next year he is going to put the
daughters Of Walker DeKol Boy under

The amount Of sugar necessary in Jelly

the more sugar one can add; and the
less pectin there is, the less sugar should
be used.
The reason for this is that sugar makes
the Jelly tender and pectIn makes it

Dcs Moines, Iowa, Oct. 14.-(AP)
Possibility that the Minneapolis

held between G. r. Martin, vice presi-
dent of the Great Northern; Colonel
B. O. Johnson, assistant to the presi-
dent of the Northern Pacific, and
members Of the Iowa board of rail-
road commissioners.
Mr.. Martin and Colonel johnson
appeared before the board to explain
in detail the merger plans Of the
northern roads so that the board
may be fully informed before the in

ing.
The Iowa rail board has filed a
petition with the commission to in

interviewed individually as a friend
of the commission, without stating
his attitude in regard to merger.
The state has also interviewed
through the office of the attorney
general without going on record as
to its attitude toward the merger.
The application of the northern
roads for unification of their lines
with the Chicago, Burlington and

a further unification with the Min

plated, but this may be done at the
hearing.

Building permits were II per

Are Witnesses at
Grain Rate Hearing

Minneapolis, Oct. 14.-(H-North
Dakota agriculture and the proposal
for freight rate revision which will
permit North Dakota mills to grind
larger percentage Of the spring
wheat grown in their state occupied
the foreground again today at the
interstate commerce commissions
grain rate hearing here.
The witnesses were O. L. Spencer,
general manager Of the state mill
and elevator at Grand Forks, and j.
L. Jones, an operating official Of the
elevator. Mr.. Spencer completed
testimony begun Thursday.
These men quoted figures in sup
port of their arguments that North
Dakota farmers are deprieved Of a
part of the proper profits on the
choice wheat which they raise by the
fact that practically all the wheat
is milled at Minneapolis, Buffalo
and other points outside the state.
Establishment Of free milling in
transit privileges at Grand Forks
and other North Dakota markets, it
was contended, will permit the farm
ers to realize in full on the premium
which their hard wheat commands.

Cass County Court
Decision Reversed

Reversing the Cass county district
court, the supreme court today up
held the plaintiff in the case OF
Glenn II. Corrington VS.. II. D. Cros-
by, f. j. and Grace f. Weiser, +. A.
Irish, G. II. Nesbitt and all other
North Dakota stockholders of the
closed Farmers State Bank Of Bar
bert, Mont.
The decision upheld application in
North Dakota Of the Montana law
making bank stockholders liable for
the debts of the institution up to
the par value of their stock.
Corrington appealed from an or
der Of the Cass County district court
overruling his demurrer to the an
swer Of the defendants. The latter
contendcd that a special Montana
statute relieved them from liability
since it specified that bank stock
holders are liable only for obliga-
tions Of an institution when suit is
begun within three years after the
obligation is created. The court held
that Corrington began his suit with
ing the time limit and made no rul-
ing on the question as to whether
the special limitations statute should
be operative from the time the LA
bility Of the bank was created, in
any instance, or from the time the
bank is closed.

q gun thrust against his side and
receive an order to hand over his
money. The college student had
only $5.35 on him and this was

SPEED MARKS
CROP MOVING
More Than One fourth of Cash
Production Marketed in
Last 2 Months

Minneapolis, October 14.-Extra-
ordinary rapidity has marked the
movement to market of the 1927
crop, according to the preliminary
summary Of agricultural and finan-
cial conditions in the ninth federal
reserve district, issued today.
More than one-fourth of the cash
crop production was marketed dur
ing August and September. Freight
carloadings Of grain and grain prod
ucts in the northwestern district
during the four weeks ending Sep
tember "a made new high record
for marketings during that portion
of the crop year, the summary says.
1t continues:
"Thc cash value Of wheat, rye,
flax and potatoes marketed during
September, 1927, by farmers in this
district was $95 100000. his
amount was four times as large as
the value of the marketings in
August, nearly twice as large as
the value Of marketings in Septem-
Der, 1926, and constituted new
high record for the month Of Sep
TENDER, according to our estimates
which extend back through 1923.
Other farm income during Septem-
Der did not compare favorably with
farm income in September year
ago.
Livestock Market Smaller
Although it is probable that the
value Of dairy products was slightly
larger than a year ago, the small
marketings of livestock, together
with lower prices for hogs and
lambs make it appear certain that
income from livestock marketings
was smaller in September, 1927, than
in the corresponding month last
year. Hog prices were 1926 per
hundredweight higher in September
than in August, but were lower than
year ago. Veal calves and prime
butcher steers sold at the highest
prices in several years. Prices OF
the feed grains were higher in Sep
TENDER than a YER ago, and stocker
and feeder steers are entering the
winter feeding period at higher
price than in any year since 1920.
