MYSTERY OF THE HEIRESS

THE county coroner, DR.. Lew
ing, looked over the body of
Caroline Checkert with profess
sional detachment. As she lay
upon the couch in the living
room of the Checkert country
house, wearing bra, scanties,
socks and riding-shoes, he could
see cuts and bruises upon her
arms and legs, and wounds upon
the sides of her head. One of
the wounds was crusted with
dried blood, the other was open.
DR.. Lewing sighed and turned
away. "Got to get a little air,
Tom," he told the sheriff as he
walked through an open French
door out upon the lawn and lit
a cigarette. An idea was taking
form in his head. He recalled the
story told by the stepmother:
Caroline was always crazy
about riding. Her father really
bought this place so Caroline
could have horses. She wasn't
afraid of anything. This same

She just laughed about it, and
called him 'Broncho.'
when she didn't come in for
lunch, I became worried and
went looking for her. I found
her over by that big tree by the
gate to the meadow. She was I'M
conscious. Broncho must have
bolted and thrown her off. I

drag her here to the house. I

purs and tried to revive her,

cigarette, went back to the sher-
if. "Tom," he said, "are you

TREAD" THE BACKS OF CARDS

JETS suppose that you're look
L ing at the backs Of four play
ing cards. They can be cards
with which you play bridge,
pinochle, Oklahoma rummy or
blackjack-it doesn't matter.
We're going to give you some
clues that'u enable you to read"
the cards, that is, identify them,
without looking at the pips.
a. There's at least one king
just to the right of a queen.
b. There's at least one queen
just to the right of a king.
c. There's at least one king
just to the right of a king.
d. There's at least one spade
just to the right of a spade.
e. There's at least one spade
just to the right of a heart.
Now read" all four cards.
AS a clue to the solution of
this type of puzzle, we'll point
out that from "a" it is evident
that 1 and 3 cannot both be
kings, and from "b" that Nos.
8 and ! cannot both be kings.
From &C" it's plain that there
cannot be a queen between two
kings. Now go on.

woven words artfully into all
kinds of geometrical designs:
diamonds, pentagons, stars,

Big Bend Soil Losses,
Serious, Experts Find

The great loss of virgin soil
in the Big Bend and other wheat
and-pea areas of southeastern
Washington is indicated by tests
made at Hooper, Hay, and La
crosse this spring. The lnvestl-
gators found that the losses OF
top soil averaged more than 40
per cent on slopes of Is per cent
or more. The losees averaged
more than 20 per cent on slopes
of less than Is per cent.
The Investigations were made
by the West Whitman soil con-
servation district supervisors, IN
Guiding j. M. McGregor and
John Mays, Hooper, and Don
Dorman, j. H. Robinett, and Har-
old Snow. Lacrosse. They were
assisted by Ed Wright, soil sur
yeyor of Sos. The group made
total of Is comparisons OF till
ed soil with virgin soil. Ihelr
tests showed that the depth OF
the virgin soil varied from ~
to 48 inches and that of TILED
soil from O to "a inches. :,
M. D. Butler, extension soil
conservationist at the state col
lege. points out that from fifty
to half of the land in this area
has disappeared "down the riv-
er'' in the short time it has been

Pork Price Nav
Decline In Fall

Although hog prices now are
at high levels, they will decline
moderately after September and
will be substantially lower" a
year from now, state college &C.
onomists predict. =. -..~s...
The present hog-corn ratio is
the most favorable on record for
hog production, according to Ec-
onomists 'Orlo Vaughan, Roy
Beck, Arthur eagle and others
at the state college. One hun
sdred pounds of hog, they point
out. is now worth about 18 bus
heels OF corn compared with a
longtime ration of only about
IL bushels. .-esE ~.-
The spring pig crop for the
country in 1947 is forecast to be
at least 6 per cent larger than
in 1916. The 1916 crops was 3D.
100000 and the 1947 u. S. crop
will probably exceed 80 million,
according to the state college
men. IT.. -1-r.-. 80. s~
With wheat prices at present
high levels, however. and with
much less skim milk than be-
fore the war, hog production in
Washington this year will not
likely increase as much as in the
whole country. ~.
Hog numbers in Washington
on January l this year were $780,
900 compared with 10000 a year
earlier and with $4,000 as an
average for the 10 years, 1886
As. Throughout the country, hog
numbers were 56,900,000 on JAN
uary l this year, compared to
81 100000 for 1916 and 81, AGO.
900 for the 10 year average.
Pork supplies this summer, say
the economists, will be less than
those of year earlier, because
of the reduction in the size OF
the 1916 fall pig crop.
For the last 81 years or long
er, economists have noted that
numbers and prices of hogs rose
and declined in regular cycles
of about five years. During each
of the cycles, farmers expanded
hog numbers for about two years
and liquidated them for about
the same length of period. The
hog cycles are shorter than cattle
cycles for the reason that farm
ers can increase or decrease hog
numbers more rapidly than in
the case of cattle. The state col
lege forecasters believe that the
bottom in hog numbers for the
present cycle was probably reach
ed the first of this year, and that
hog. numbers will likely increase
for at least two years.

Kreizinger. Married averaged or
to IL pounds higher in test
weight than Federation. The
yield has averaged as great, or
greater, In most of the tests.
Married. is moderately to highly
resistant to Is of the 225 races
of smut, and is also somewhat

After the tests and trials had
demonstrated that the new wheat
could be grown successfully in
| Washington, it was christened
''Marfed' last year, combining
the names of its two major par
ents. Through the Washington
State Crop Improvement assoc
iation, this seed was distributed

pear area"
In marking the tests, the in
vestigators took virgin soil sam
Piles from plots adjacent to the
cultivated soil. Their study
showed that the percentage of
slope appeared to be the great
est factor affecting soil loss, but
that tillage practices, the use OF
crop residues, and the age of the
farm were all factors.
The supervisors, having now
learned the seriousness of the
erosion problem, are laying Out
plans for a program of conser-
walton to save what top soil is
remaining and to restore or re-
habilitate that which is partly
gone said Butler.
