At dawn, Campton rolled out of bed
and dressed. He found the woodshed
just as he had left it - the door open.
Kip had not been back. Instead of
getting wood for his fire, Campton
took his rife and walked of toward
the barn. Around the mess Of chicken

Campton fired again, the cold air of
the ravine rumbling with the report of
the gun. He saw the coyote reaching
forward desperately with his fore
paws, dragging his hind legs after him.
Ending his struggles with another
shot. Campton hurried down the in

With a spluttering snarl. Kip struck
at his enemy, but the cunning coyote
sprang out Of the way. At the same
time. there came to Kip's nostrils the
smell of his own blood. and cash on
his right shoulder began to burn.
Kip was furious enough now to
charge up the incline after him. but
when he realized that the big fellow
was maneuvering to get between him
and the bush, he gave up all thought
Of aggression and pushed himself back
ward toward it and into it.
At this vantage point. Kip felt
somewhat more secure. Muzzle for
ward like an aimed gun. he moved it
slowly from side to side. as the big
coyote moved in a semicircle before
him. In this tense and explosive condi-
ton they faced each other for long,
terrible moments.
The dazzling glitter of moonlight
swelled out into subdued daylight.
The bushes and stones. breaking
through the snow-crust. came out
bleakly clear in the light of early day.
Occasionally the big coyote pretended
to charge, but Kip's show Of ready re-
sistance, sent him trotting up the
slope or to the side.
Kip relaxed his desperate vigilance.
The fellow was walking off along the
creek. The wounds on Kip's shoulder
were burning excruciatingly. While
he busted himself with his frantic lick
ing, the big coyote leaped swiftly to
the side and the rear. and suddenly
hurting himself over the bush. came
down upon Kip. surprising him.
Kip whiried around. AS he snapped
at the coyotes leg. intending to clamp
his teeth upon it. he felt powerful
thrust at his muzzle and the next in

coyotes fangs we're digging into his
throat. Kip struggled valiantly. but

Michael Campton had been unable

that it wasn't the widow Slater's turn

from sleeping. The devil take the old
widow as far as he was concerned. He
was better off living alone. as he had
lived all these many years. The
damned little coyote had to 60 chick

RELATES METHODS
FOR TOBACCO BEDS
Proper Location and Man
agement Stressed by State
College Expert.

College Station, Raleigh Jan O.
The proper location and management
of tobacco plant beds is an important
factor in the control of downy mildew,
or blue mold.
Each year, says Luther Shaw, ex-
tension plant pathologist at State Col
lege, the beds should be located in a
new place to prevent infection from
disease organisms left in the soil by
previous crops.
Several small beds widely separated
on the farm are better than one large
bed, he added, as they give a better
chance for some of the plants to cs-
cape blue mold Infection
Locate the beds in a warm, sunny
place with a southern or southeastern
exposure rather than a northern on
northwestern exposure, Shaw advised
FertiliZe the soil with 200 pounds
of an S-43 mixture for each 100 square
yards Of plant bed. DO not place ON
the beds amy tobacco trash or manure
containing tobacco leaves stalks, or
roots as they may infect the sol
with mosaic, black root rot, or Gran
Vile wilt
Do not seed the beds too heavily. as
this will cause the plants to be over
crowded. One teaspOOnful Of cleans
ed seed is enough for 100 square yards
of bed
Crowded plants remain moist for a
considerable time after dews and rains
Shaw explained, and thus make con
ditiOns favorable for the development

If blue mold appears on the plants

College Station, Raleigh, Jan. y
The death of the AAA leaves North

In view of this, he added, no far
