'Not for you, sir" Adam told
him; and he introduced Inspector
Tope, leaving it to Tope to explain
their presence here.
Tope handed Eberly that letter
from Ledforge. 'Miss Dewain

Eberly read the letter swiftly; he
looked at Tope. miss Dewain

he said briefly: "Mr. Eberly, don't
want to try to tell you all that's
happened. If / told you the story,
you'd think more about the ques-
tons you want to ask than about the
questions I'm asking you. Mind If

Eberly was white and still. "What

"I'm probably his most intimate

miss Ledforge, yes. There is no
one else" ts
"You and he used to 60 fishing
together and so on?"
"Yes, and still do. Fish and hunt.
Or sometimes just come up here
and rest for days on end"
Tope looked around rehectively.
And he asked: "Mr. Eberly, come
down to Ledforge's place with us,
will you? I want to see Miss Led
forge. and I'd like to see that fish
pond of his. I'm a fisherman my
self"
Certainly" Eberly agreed. "I'n
get some clothes on" He had come
in slippers and dressing-gown to
greet them.
At TOPICS suggestion, they left
Eberly's car here and walked back
to the locked gate, reused Whitlock
and Beal, sleeping YEARLY in their
car, and so got under way. Eberly
told them they need not go through
Ridgcomb.
There's back road" he ex-
planned, "that comes down past the
fish pond. A locked gate, but have

When their ring was answered,
Tope asked for Mr.. Ledforge.
"He's expected this afternoon,
SIR" the servant replied.
''Then Miss Ledforge?"
Miss Ledforge received them at
the breakfast table; and Adam
thought there was some shadow in
her eyes; yet she smiled in friend

Tope, remembering his call two
days before.

she explained. "He will be here
sometime today"
Tope said slowly: ''Why, that's
what / hear, Miss Ledforge." And
he said: 'We're from the Myers
Agency, you see."
Her cheek colored family. "Oh,
that absurd proceedingl" she ex-
claimed. II should apologize for
troubling you" And she explained:
sit was my ridiculous solicitude.
You see, my brother wrote last week
that he was i'll, was coming home
Friday" She hesitated. "He never

when he didn't come as he expect

softly. sHe was so amused, when

fled a certificate Of candidacy for the
United States Senate for the Mary
land primaries on June "a.
Mr.. Riddleberger has lived in Mary
land for over 80 years. Most Of this
time he spent as a grain merchant on
the Eastern Shore.
While he had not filed for office pre-
viously, he was very active in party
affairs and well acquainted with a
number of political shore leaders.
When war came he sold his business
and moved to Baltimore county to
give his service to the country on the
home front while his three sons did
battele on far flung fields overseas.
interviewed by a press representa-
tive, Mr.. Riddleberger stated:

ducers have regarding the livestock and meat industry
Some recent conversations indicated that quite
number of producers think that there less than
hundred meat packers in the United States, in fact
some thought there few ten. This idea
to come from the fact that many of them ship their
livestock to only one market and are familiar only
with the number of meat packing plants at that

know that there than 3 500 meat packers in

make money in their business is to sell meat And
to sell meat they must buy livestock So all the

lowered calf crop and pounds of calf produced
per COW. Accordingly, cattlemen are following
with interest experiments begun in 1887 under
cooperative arrangement among Robert j
Kleberg, Jr., President and Manager, King
Ranch, and the u S. d A, and Texas A. & M
King Ranch provided facilities for this vital test
First step was analysis of range grasses
which indicated lack of phosphorus, min
eral essential to normal growth and develop
ment. This led to a pasture experiment, using
several similar and adjoining pastures A con-
troll group had no mineral supplement. a sec
ond group had free access to bone meal in self
feeders, third group received disodium phos-
phate IN water system controlled to supply
612 grams of phosphorus per COW daily.
Phosphorus supplement, both as bone meal
and in the water, showed gratifying results
when each group receiving it produced a higher
percentage of calves averaging heavier weights
at weaving time than those produced by the
control group which received no extra phos-
phorus For two calf crops lactating cows fed
phosphorus supplement- remained in better
flesh and averaged approximately $50 pounds
per head heavier at time calves were weaned
than the control group Of COWS.
Findings of these experiments should prove
of dollars-and-cents value to cattlemcn oper-
ating in areas where vegetation is deficient in
phosphorus.
