into my room shortly after 2 a. m"
Miss Duvall said later.
"He held rifle TO my head and
forced me 10 dress. / put on every
thing but my shoe and stockings and
then begged to 60 and get a drink
Of water.
"He let me out of the room, and ]

After graduating from the University
of Minnesota in 1912, he taught in
the high school at Winthrop for a
year and then became assistant at
University Farm and did graduate
work in economics. In 1915 he joined
the bureau of markets of the United
States Department of Agriculture
and remained with it until 1920 when
he was elected professor of agricul-
tural markets of the University Of
Kentucky. He has been with that in
stitution until his resignation to re-
turn to his alma mater as head of
one of it's important divisions.
CDR. Jesness has visited Minnesota
regularly and is well acquainted with
the work of the division" says DR..
Andrew Boss, vice director of the
Minnesota Experiment Station. "He
only recently completed work here
for the doctorate while specializing in
marketing. College men know him as
one of our sound economists. He has
been active in research and is rated
as an excellent teacher. Combined
with these qualifications is his fam
iliarity with farm problems and his
grasp on the marketing and co-opera-
tive field. Minnesota is extremely
fortunate in being able to secure DR..
Jesness to head the combined divis-
ion."

Leafiness is considered the most
important factor in grading alfalfa
hay. AS two-thirds or more of the
protein of the alfalfa plant is carried
in the leaves, leafy type of alfalfa
is relatively high in protein and a
stemmy type is comparatively low.
Leafy types of alfalfa have more pill
able stems. Color is also an import
ant point in high-grade alfalfa, ac-
cording to U. S. standards, as pala-
bility, vitamins, other delicate feed
nutrients, and laxative properties are
commonly associated with undamaged
green color.
