FAIR OUTLOOK:
Corn Prospect

AS July entered the Midwest's
agricultural scene with a gush Of
warm air and sunshine, prospects
appeared reasonably good for a
fair-sized crop of corn in Minnesota
and South Dakota this year.
However, In those states, as in the
rest of the corn belt, a long period
Of favorable weather conditions Is
most essential.
Planted acreage of corn in Min
nesota and South Dakota is about
equal to that of last year, but heavy
losses have been incurred as re-
suit of excessive rain. Most observ-
ers agree that while the growing
corn crop is two to three weeks be-
hind last year it still has time to
stage comeback, given favorable
weather.
Such shortened growing period,
however, may result in reduced
yields. Also, growers in the two
states are reported to have turned,
in the past year, to planting corn
requiring a shorter growing period
than formerly. Therefore, while the
corn may mature relatively earlier
than formerly, it will do so at the
expense of a smaller yield an acre.

but most of the kids have found
that these charming new styles
have boosted their glomor

That is one of the reasons

Very few teen-agers have ac-

however. 1t seems as if the lit

won with the sub-deb set be-
cause they definitely are not

most of the kids still like their
hair on the longish side, and the
page-boy hairdo parted on the
side is still tops on the hep pa
rade..
Kids aren't going to be able
to smile with gusto if they keep
running their front teeth with
bobby pins, as reported in Den
tai Digest. 1t seems girls love
to put their hair up every night
and most of them use bobby
pins. But, report dentists, they
use their upper front teeth to
help pry open the pins, which
results in notches in their teeth.
Sixty percent of the women eX-
amined in a dental poll show
ed clinical evidence of abrasions
(bobby pin notches) the dentists
say.
Anyway if the kids don't want
to look like one-tooth Armies
they'd better stop this practice
innnediately.

Milan Company of S721.83 and less the further sum ofs S340.72 paid the Collector of Internal Revenue. This offer was accepted and payment was made of the sum of Sl442,4o.
 Mrs. Monsen had nothing to do with these transactions except to refund the amount which we both agreed from the time the matter was called to our attention in November l945, was morally, though not legally due the government. She received for herself no part of the funds. The Internal Rev. enue agents were not sent to col lect the money. They had nothing to do with it. The course taken on behalf of the government seems to have been a devious one but so far as the estate of Governor Troy is concerned, the record is straight and clear and the attorney and the heirs were neither 'embar- 1assed nor 'defenseless as stated in the Ketchikan Chronicle"

I had notified the Comptroller General and the Attorney General that in my opinion they should deal with the MacMillan Com pany and the daughters of Cover nor Troy would in turn refund to the MacMillan Company the re- mainder of the royalties the es- tate had received, less the income tax already paid by the estate on the royalties in 1943 and 1914.
 Letters Ignored
 All my letters to Washington were ignored and two months ago the government filed claim against the estate for S250485, the total amount of the royalties. I rejected the claim, under the circumstances, and again stated in writing that while not legally bound to do so because of the wording of the pub fishing contract, we were willing to refund to the government the amount of the royalties less the sum already paid back to the Mac

 "All this is of record in the probate court at Juneau.
 Tn October, 1945, the Public Works administration made a de- mand on the MacMillan Company for payment to the government of all the accrued royalties on the book Guide To Alaska" stating that wien the publishing contract was made it was executed by Gov ernor Troy on behalf of the United States and that the United States should have received all the royal ties. I was in Washington at the time and I called at the office of the Public Works administration twice. The first time I called the official with whom I came in con- tact asked me to call the next day. I did so, and asked to see a copy of the publishing contract Al though they had copies of cor respondence with the MacMillan Company and various copies of papers and regulations, they in formed me that they had been un- able to find a copy of the con tract, but they promised to find it and sent it to me the next day. They did not do so and have never done so, although after my re- turn home in November, l wrote them requesting it. In November l946 I received letter from Gen eral Fleming, the administrator, acknowledging my request for copy of the contract. He did not send it, but stated that the gov ernment's claim had been turned over the Comptroller General

There I was s-lown for the first time a copy of the contract. found that this contract had been prepared by some government oill- cial in Washington and that It was a personal contract with MT Troy. A serious mistake had neeil made in preparing the contract. There is nothing in it to indicate that the royalties should De .paio to the United States. That IS the reason the MacMillan company had paid the royalties to the eS- tate and my information is that they still refuse to recognize the United States as 9 party to sle contract and they have requested the government to enter into 9 new contract with new sponsor.
 However, was ot the opinion when the matter was first called to my attention, that notwith- standing the wording of the con- tract and the mistake which had been made by someone in prepar- ing it. the estate of Governor Troy was not morally entitled to receive the royalties. l so stated to the officials ill Washington many times, both verbally and in writing. Strictly, as a matter ot law. the estate could have kept the royalties and could have claimed several thousand dollars in accrued royalties We did not take that position and I told the President of the MacMillan Com pany in November 1945, that l would return to the company all the sums which I had received to date and had not disbursed, which amounted to S721 83 and that Gov ernor Troy's daughters would will inely refund from their own funds, the remaining sum.

 T had some correspondence with the MacMillan Company af- ter the receipt of the second cheque and this was on the basis that their contract for the pub lication of the book was a personal one with MT.
