TRUE |DEIs STORY

his bride. came to live with his
.in-laws.
Within a few months came the
realization that her marriage
was a mistake. so Evelyn
brought suit for divorce against
her youthful husband. The de-
cree was granted and the couple
parted amicably. the best Of
friends. Her ex-huSband left at
once for the West Coast. and
from that day on the girl had
had no word from him.
1t was inconceivable to the
girl that the man she had loved
could be even remotely con-
nected with the brutal death OF
her mother. But in this Sheriff
Gosney did not concur. and
suited his actions to his convic-
tons by broadcasting throughout
the state a description of Jo-
hannes Borgwart.
In the meantime, Corporal
Van Allen kept his promise by
forwarding to Sebring a cast of
the footprint, with report con-
tanning the information that the
shoe size was Cd; the foot was
of the pes cavus type. normal
but highly arched. Such a foot
usually has heavy callous
under the base of the first toe,
and also at the base of the little
toe (head of first and fifth meta
tarsal bones) due to improper
distribution Of weight. The cal
louses were plainly evident on
the cast.
The police broadcast brought
results within II hours. A man
answering Borgwart's descrip-
ton had registered in a small
hotel in Alliance.

On the bed lay the mutilated
body of Mrs. William Cranston.
And Sheriff Gosney read quickly
the mute story of murder from
the shattered window and torn

at almost point-blank range, at
his hapless victim.
The sheriff turned quickly and

When the sun. which the Off
GERS awaited impatiently, finally
peered over the horizon on the
level prairie land. the officers
deploye across the fields
searching for a barefoot trail.
In a cornfield 300 yards to the
west, tracks were found in the
soft loan. They led to the milk
house of a neighboring farm;
and it was while pursuing this
trail that Gosney found an ex-
ploded shotgun she'll which he
pocketed for later examination.
The milk house, neat as a
kitchen, was deserted; but
strewn across the floor, as
though dropped in haste, were
eight unexploded shotgun shells.

pocket the one he had found and
made a comparison-they were

Changes In Soil
.Setup Explained
Series of Educational Meet
ings H Id Recently in
Pine County.

A series of educational meetings to
acquaint the farmers of Pine county
with the provisions of the 1941 soil
conservation program has just been
completed. These meetings were very
well attended and much interest was
shown in the grant of aid program
for lining, according to Melvin An
derson, county chairman.
There are very few changes in the
program this year, some of which
are important to the farmers in Pine
county, such as the pasture improve
ments and the grant of aid lining
program. The interest in this part
of the program is shown by the con-
crete fact that, to date, orders for over
1900 cubic yards of lining material
have been received in the county
office, according to Chris. w. Freder-
iksen, who is in charge Of this pro-
gram.
Better Grasses and Legumes.
At some of the later meetings,
County Agent Max McMillin has been
showing colored slides illustrating
the value of better grasses and leg
umes in the pasture. The pasture
crop is one of the most valuable,
but without question, the most neg
lected crop grown.
The big problem in pasture man.
agement is supplying sufficient feed
in the hot part of the summer. Dur
ing this period most June grass pas
lures 60 into semi-dormant stage,
and the amount of feed available is
very small. Several ways of help
ing this situation were suggested.
Farmers who have low ground can
provide pasture by seeding canary
grass, which, if properly fortified,
is palatable feed and produces a
large amount of forage per acre.
Top-Dress Pastures.
Top dressing permanent pasture
also stimulates growth during the
hot period. Such practices as divid-
ing the pasture into two parts and
changing cows from one pasture to
the other at two-week intervals, pas
turing second-cutting hay crops, and,
in a few cases, providing small
patch of sudan grass, are ways in
which more pasture can be provided
for the hot period of the summer.
Notices of allotment have been sent
to all farmers in Pine county, and
sign-up meetings are being scheduled
to start about the ninteenth of March.
At this time farmers will attend
meetings and sign their intention
forms. It is necessary for every
farm on which payment will be
made to be signed up before May I.
A schedule of sign-up meetings will
be published later.
