lot of the leaf appeared not to be
as badly damaged by recent rains
as some in other sections.
The crop is one to two weeks
earlier this year on account of the
mild winter and the early spring,
and the early favorable growing
conditions. But considerable dam
age has resulted from recent
rains.

he wished by peering between the
leaves. To reach this spot from
above looked easy enough, for it
hung short 80 feet below the crest
of the hill and the ground between
was covered with beech and fir.
This was enough for me. My one
idea was to make for the Rolls and
then to 60 round by road and get to
the belvedere as soon as ever
could. But Herrick, deep in mem
ory, would not be moved.

'What could be better?" said Her

here to find out-not give battle.
Don't forget that"
II PROMISE" said I. "Don't be
long," and, with that, I was gone.
Retracing my steps, I did not use
the drive, but moved by it's side
through the bracken beneath the
trees. AS approached the track,
saw that the car was still there and
had not been moved.
Now all knew was that Virgil
and his companions had passed up
the track out of sight. How far they
had gone or whether they had kept
to the track, had no idea, but since
it seemed pretty clear that they
would not be very far off, from now
I took greater precautions against
being seen. When I moved, 1 did
so gently and went on my hands
and knees, and whenever I rose to
look around, did so against tree
trunk, as though, indeed, l were
stalking some wary prey.
First of all, I took a good look at
the car. This was roomy and pow
erful and something the worse for
wear. It's municipalities had been
oiled and we're coated with, dust.
One of its doors was ajar, and within
l could see an old suitcase, no doubt
containing 'the clothes" But that
was all, and after a long look round,
went on my way.

more.
Suddenly I thought of the oak
tree and lifted my eyes
If could reach it, there was the
place I desired One of the mighty
branches was stretching out over
the ride-a branch twice as thick as
my loins, some 20 feet up. If
were there, I could see for quar-
ter of mile, while the leaves of
the lesser boughs would save me
from being seen.
After a long look about me, I
leaped for a sturdy sucker and
swung myself up. My branch was
not easy to come to, because what
handhold there was was so far be-
tween, and I must confess that,
whilst I fought my way up, I could
not help wondering how I should
ever get down. However, I would
not turn back, and after two or
three minutes I flung a leg over
the perch upon which I had set my
heart.

Machinery Increases Production of Corn
Twentyfold, Agricultural Bureau Reports

Machinery development, which
has enabled man to use energy sup
piled by animals and tractors in
stead of his own muscles, makes it
possible for the Individual farmer,
who a century ago could grow five
acres of corn, to plant, cultivate and
harvest 20 times as much today.
Recent investigations by the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
in cooperation with the Iowa Exper-
iment station show that the mod
ern farmer expends no more time
or labor in producing 5000 bushels
of corn than did the farmer of 100
years ago in producing $50 bushels.
primitive cultural methods used
by Indians were not a great deal
different from those of today" says
r. B. Gray, of the bureau of agri-
cultural engineering. "The differ
ence is in the tools that are used"
In 1855, Gray points out, the corn
farmer used a walking pillow, sim
gle section or GA" harrow, and
shovel pillow for marking off rows.
He planted by hand, covered the
seed with hoe, cultivated with
the same one-horse shovel pillow, and
harvested by hand. With this equip
ment he needed 1876 hours of labor
to grow one acre of corn.

shadows so vivid that the castle
looked heraldic and might have been

built of gray stone and must once
have been a fortress of considera-
BILE strength, but windows had later
been set in it's massive walls and
chimney-stacks had been added to
make it a residence.

1t was nearly six o'clock, and I
had been gone from Herrick full
half-hour when the track beside
which I was moving came to an
end. This to my dismay, for now
I had nothing to 60 on, although, OF
course, the track might have led me
wrong.
In vain I sought for broken stem
of bracken which might declare the
trail which my friends had left: in
vain I scanned the forest and
strained my ears: but for the birds
and the squirrels, I might have had
the world to myself.
Flat against the trunk of an oak
tree, I wiped the sweat from my
face. Five PAGES ahead ride had
been cut through the woods: though
this was thick with bracken, it gave
me a pretty clear view to right and
to left, but the flood stretched
smooth and unbroken and I could
see no sign of it's having been
crossed.

think what to do. To proceed was
easy enough, but, for all I knew,

was useless. If only there had been
hillock to add a few feet to my
height, l could have looked down
upon the bracken and that point of
view might have shown me the

was no hillock: the ground here

Thirty years later the farmer had
the wo-bottom gang pillow, the disk
harrow, two-row planter, a two
section harrow, a single-row cult
vator, but still harvested by hand.
With this equipment he was able to
grow and harvest an acre of corn
with ISL hours of labor.
With the all-machine age of 1880
the farmer had available tractor.
a two-bottom gang pillow, seven-foot
tandem disk, four-section harrow
and pulverizer, two-row planter, and
a two-row picker or harvester. This
cut the man-labor hours to SO per
acre.
Further improvements in machin-
cry within the past eight years
including four-row planters and Gull
tivators and general purpose trac-
tors-make it possible now to pro-
duce an acre of corn with five hours
Of labor, says Gray.

SYNOPSIS

Richard Exon, poor young Englishman,
befriends elderly Matthew Gering, who at
his death, gives him a statement claiming
he, Gering, is Rudolph Gilbert Virgil, Count
of Brief, of ancient. Austrian nobility who
was betrayed 20 years before by his twin
brother, Ferdinand, whose sentence for for
gerry he himself served. Ferdinand appro-
priated his title, property and daughter. Be-
fore he dies, Gering tells Exon there IS a
family secret, known only to the head OF
the house, to be found in the great tower at
Brief, by a doorway none can ever find.
Exon inherits his uncles fortune and sets
out to right Gering's wrongs. En- route he
encounters Percy Ebert Virgil, son of the
villainous Ferdinand and sees him in con-
ference with Inskip, a diamond merchant.
He engages a valet, Winter, who hates
Percy and meets by chance at garage,
John Herrick, who is inguist and who
as youth served as a page at Gerings
wedding, and had visited Brief Herrick,
due eventually to fall into an Inheritance,
is at present unemployed and seeking pleas
ant work to while away few months.
Exon and Herrick establish headquarters at
Brenda Revoke's farm at Raven, few
miles from Brief and make their plans.
They find the castle almost inaccessible at
first, but at the mouth of the entrance drive
several days later, they see closed car
occupied by Percy Virgil.

The play suit has beautifully cut
shorts and a nice bodice top with
the sunniest kind of sunback. The

and the bolero goes with both!
Notice how cleverly the ricrac
braid is used to simulate a square
yoke in the front. The smartest
thing for this design is linen in a
dusty pastel shade; calico, per-

sure to trim it with ricrac.
